Full History
The destruction of Lordaeron scattered its defenders and left old alliances unequal to the Scourge's reach. At the Bulwark, Argent Officer Garush represented another answer: opposition to undeath could bring together soldiers who would otherwise stand on opposite sides of a factional war. An orc served the same cause as the order's human and other recruits.
This was not a simple act of reconciliation. The orcs had once invaded the northern kingdoms, and memories of the Second War had not vanished with the plague. The Forsaken, meanwhile, were undead themselves but had rejected the Lich King's domination. The Dawn's willingness to judge fighters by their actions rather than their origins challenged the categories by which the old wars had been fought.
Garush's work on the frontier belonged to a prolonged campaign rather than a single victory. As volunteers crossed toward the Western Plaguelands, the order had to sustain them, recognize their service and keep attention fixed on the Scourge. The appointment of an orc officer illustrated how the northern disaster had forced new loyalties into existence.
