- The Mag'har Warbrave that replaces the Tauren until Thrall arrives to Kalimdor. However, these brutes would also serve another clan when not serving Thrall such as the Warsongs but not out of loyalty to Grom. It is loyalty to Thrall.
So this one is a 'designer liberty/choice', I'd say, and the explanation is my own and not anything by lore. So in other words, made up by me and I decided to go this way. I'll explain why; Put yourself in the shoes of a Mag'har? You refuse to drink the blood and yet you must still serve your clan, and so some do just that (just like in the Warcraft movie).
Just like the Beastmaster, Rexxar, once fought for the Horde and never drank the demonic blood, but ended up trapped on Azeroth due to the war. I decided to explain a few Mag'har who also fought during the war but never wanted to drink the demonic blood and they chose to hide among the wilderness once they saw what the Horde had become. When the war ended, they saw Thrall as an example of what an ideal Horde is and joined up with him.
But by the time of the Invasion of Kalimdor, the surviving Mag'har die and never live through to see the end of the war. Some, unfortunately, attempt to try that demon juice after realizing that Cenarius is going to kill them, especially the Dreadweavers.

I see. It's pretty thin, especially with Rexxar as an example (mostly because he's a half-ogre and never supposed to have an honor to drink from the Cup Of Unity), and the Fel magic itself leaving its mark even on those who didn't drink blood, but it's your AU, after all
