All things considered, this is Horde-controlled territory. Bonus points if you can identify both locations!
Check out the full comic right here, and tune in next Wednesday for a new page. You can also see all the previous pages in the gallery below.

I hope he mets the two on their way back to the Crossroads, and all is sorted out. Though, this would be a short branch of the story - I sense trouble ahead.

Now we know how Camp Taurajo was really destroyed.
Don't fuck with Dwarves.

So you're implying that he mercilessly killed innocent people? that infact, papa dwarf is just a heartless killing machine?
no.

First of all, I wasn't being serious. I thought that was kind of obvious.
Second, Taurajo was a major Horde military outpost, lots of Hunters (euphemism for people with weapons) trained there. Hell, even Horde paramilitary irregulars (Horde players) trained there! And Alliance was nice enough to leave an opening for civilians. So no, Taurajo was not innocent.
Third, yes, as an officer in the Alliance military, I very much expect the nameless dwarf to mercilessly kill enemies of the state.

@ fudge
You do realize that all of those reasons apply to Southshore, right?
Major Alliance outpost? Check.
Lots of people with weapons trained there? Check.
Alliance paramilitary irregulars trained there? Check.
Opening for civilians to escape? Check.
Mercilessly killed enemies of the state? Check.

I laughed, fudge. I knew you were kidding.

Yes, I know it all applies to Southshore. The problem with Southshore is not that it was destroyed, it's that it is not addressed in Alliance content. At all.
Compare the Taurajo experience with the Southshore incident:
After the destruction of Taurajo, Horde players get a new camp called "Vengeance point" (or something similar) and a whole zone, where they fight back, culminating in the rewarding murder of the Alliance commander who led the attack.
Now, Alliance-side, the catastrophic loss (after all, Soutshore was the only remaining human town in Lordaeron) is never addressed, in fact, I only noticed that Hillsbrad wasn't an Alliance zone anymore when the Forsaken guards attacked me on my way to survey the damage.
In short: Horde players get an awesome story and closure out of the destruction of Taurajo and an absolutely casualty-free victory in Southshore (and to add insult to injury, one of the best zones in the game), while Alliance players get framed as the villains in one zone and absolutely nothing out of the other.

@fudge
There's been no Alliance reaction *this expansion.* I play Horde almost exclusively, but even I can't believe that there will be no action against the forsaken, against Sylvanas, and no redress or military action for Gilneas and Hillsbrad. It's coming, and you'll get an awesome story, and the Horde will be villains.

Although that comic was very intense and I can appreciate where you guys are going with this story, I kind of miss the old "silly, sometimes with Canadian jokes" Eh, Wow? cartoons. I guess I'm one of these people who like instant gratification from internet webcomics.
That dwarf's badass, though.
