Now, I know it’s a long-shot to expect Blizzard to “double up” on core race representation, but given that it was overtly stated that Wildhammer Dwarves remain a possibility, I would assume that their counterparts remain so as well.
“But the Dragonmaw Clan died with Zaela and Garrosh,” you say! Not so! If you pay attention to the representatives at the Horde’s PvP Artifact Appearance ceremony quest, you’ll notice that Gorfax Angerfang, formerly a Wetlands rare, is present as the Dragonmaw envoy. Thus revealing that Blizzard has gone out of their way as recent as the the current expansion to point out that the Dragonmaw Orcs are still around and still a part of the Horde.
“But they’re already represented with Mag’har!” Nope! Those are Blackrock Orcs. For reasons unknown, Dragonmaw Orcs were entirely absent from the alternate Draenor.
Just like Dark Iron Dwarves gave Dwarf players another aesthetic choice while leaving the Wildhammers conspicuously absent, the Dragonmaw Clan was conspicuously absent from Warlords of Draenor as a whole, and is thus not currently represented by the Mag’har Allied Race. Given the cultural differences between the New Horde’s Orcs (the recovering), the Mag’har (the uncorrupted), and the Dragonmaw (the unconquered), I believe that there’s a lot of potential here for storytelling if and when the Old Gods and the Twilight’s Hammer begin to make their move, as well as providing a counterpoint to the Wildhammer introduction.
Wildhammer Dwarves would make an excellent counterpoint addition.
A short concept, if you’ll indulge me.
Dragonmaw Orc
Story : Holding the Twilight Highlands for the Horde, the Dragonmaw Clan has held firmly in Azeroth since the Second War - for them, a war that continues to this day. With the Alliance on the offensive, it’s time for these renowned dragon-riders to take to the skies once more in defence of the Horde!
Now led by Gorfax Angerfang, those of the Dragonmaw who did not foolishly follow Warlord’s Zaela’s hasty call to arms are called upon by the Horde to deal with the dual threats of the increasingly bold Wildhammer Dwarves and a seemingly regrouping Twilight’s Hammer…
