Grommash Hold



Grommash Hold is an enormous fortress located in the Valley of Strength in the orc capital of Orgrimmar. It is named after the orcish hero Grom Hellscream, and serves as the administrative center of the Horde. Garrosh Hellscream, son of Grom and current Warchief of the Horde, and his advisors reside within. Delegations from Silvermoon and the Undercity reside within, including paladin and priest trainers, as well as the trainer for archaeology.

Prior to the Shattering
The first Grommash Hold was located in the Valley of Wisdom, and was referred to as "Thrall's Fortress" by the guards.

Thrall holds court inside the hold, while outside a traveler may find a monument to the orcs' triumph over demonic influence. Mannoroth, the demon lord who cursed the bloodline of the orcs, fell in battle to Thrall and Grom Hellscream. Mannoroth’s skull and armor are displayed on the trunk of an ancient tree, bearing a plaque that tells of the orcs' victorious transformation and reminds readers of the mistakes of the past. The keep is simple, and while well designed, it lacks the riches and statues one might see in a human palace.

Before the Burning Crusade expansion, Nazgrel resided here as well, but after the reopening of the Dark Portal, he moved to Thrallmar in Hellfire Peninsula.

This Grommash Hold was destroyed in the Shattering, and was replaced by the current Hold, located in the Valley of Strength.

Patch 4.0.1
In Patch 4.0.1, a meeting of the Horde leaders gathers in the hold (for the Alliance version, see Throne Room). In front of the throne stands a semi-circle facing Thrall, starting from the left: Garrosh Hellscream, Eitrigg, and Vol'jin.
