Doomhammer — Ancient Relic of the Orcs
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruThe Doomhammer is a legendary war hammer, the oldest relic of the orc people and one of the greatest artifacts of Warcraft. For ages it passed from Warchief to Warchief, and its blow became a symbol of the might of the whole Horde.
An ancient relic
The Doomhammer was forged in time immemorial and belonged to the clan that bore the same name. Long before the invasion of Azeroth it was a mark of chieftains, kept as a sacred thing. It was later revealed to be blessed by the very elements — spirits the orcs once spoke with, in the days when they still honored the shaman's path.
Orgrim Doomhammer
Its most famous bearer was Orgrim Doomhammer — Warchief of the Horde during the Second War. It was he who executed the traitor Blackhand and led the orcs against Lordaeron. His hammer shattered the ranks of the Alliance, and his name struck terror into the defenders of the human kingdoms.
The legacy of Thrall
After the Horde's defeat Orgrim fled, and years later died saving the young Thrall. Dying, he passed on his relic and his name. So the Doomhammer became the weapon of a new Warchief, who led the orcs from the camps to freedom and founded a new Horde.
Bond with the elements
The hammer is no mere weapon. Within it lies a bond with the elemental spirits, and in the hands of a true shaman it can call upon their might. For Thrall, who restored the way of shamanism to the orcs, it is a symbol of the people's unity and of the primal forces of the world.
Place in Vanilla lore
In the age of WoW Classic the Doomhammer rests in the hands of Thrall in Orgrimmar. Horde players see their Warchief bearing the legendary relic — a living reminder of the road from slavery to freedom. Beside him stand heroes like Varok Saurfang and Rexxar.
