Prologue:
Many generations have passed since Arthas took up Ner'Zhul's crown, and a new race has begun to thrive in the dying forests of Lordaeron. After witnessing countless wars between the Orcs and Humans, High Elves and Trolls and later, the Scourge and their masters in the Burning Legion, these quiet, brutish 'people' have come to face the now century old Lord of the Scourge... Arthas, the new Lich King.
Trolls have fallen victim to the blight that grips the lands, now warring with their own demented kin, the Forest Trolls have now faced off against their deathbound brothers, the Dark Trolls. Few could reach the new Troll King, few will survive the mighty war raging across the rotting countryside.
After enslaving the Kobold burrowers and converting some of their more... talented kin, this race has begun to set up a basic society by studying the remains of the Orcish structs and old ways. The remaining bands of Humanity have fallen into darkness, hiding itself away from Lordaeron, trying to escape the only fate worse than death... Capture by the curious, necromantic Scourge magi.
Now, finally with a true stronghold grasped in their paws, the Gnolls begin their own war against the Scourge.
Overview:
Playing as the heavily armed ex-Overseer of a newly-extinct tribe of Gnolls, Thort Blackpaw, you are alone, set out by a Seer to collect some certain objects for the Angelthorn Gnolls.
Early on in the story, you meet the Gladiator Champion, Yan Starpaw, and things start gaining stature in the outcome of the Angelthorn region as you defeat mighty Ogre Lords, bloodthirsty "lesser" Kings of the Zhulwood Undead 'Legion' and mighty Kobold Demigods.
Events will lead on much later to the point where Angelthorn is no longer an option when you must run to safety as you assault the small cave-city forged by the Undead guarding Lordaeron's Throne, which awaits its master, King Arthas.
Misc. Information:
The Orcish Horde is non-existant in this part of the world currently, there won't be any need for using them as a race.
Each hero replacement is loosely based upon its old Orcish counterpart.
This may or may not be a one-man project, depending on this projects needs.
