On a hot summer day?
Teen Spirit
Ever notice the lack of ample outhouses? Yeah, I don’t want to think about it…
Fecal matter and sweat.
What would a Niffen say?
There is the ever present smell of burning wood. Campfires. Many of them. Then layer in the scents of meat roasting. Dripping its fat into the flames, giving a much needed distraction from the other aromas of life. Throw in the greasy smell of blacksmithing. That acrid carbon laden undertone to the air. The air is hot, humid and thick. Then there is the sour and heady odor of the people. Sweat and effort clinging to them, and permeating their clothing.
As with any pre-industrial civilization Animals. You cannot escape it. The robust smell of animals of all kinds. The earthy reek of manure, mixed with the acrid ammonia smell of urine, slightly masked with the smells of hay.
Enter the troll area, and the smell of a pond will be ever present. Not a rank and fetid bog, but a small lake. That specific smell that only living fresh water can make. Earthy and mineral laden. With those notes of fallen leaves and fresh wet dirt.
Go into the shadow enclave and be slapped in the face by the thick heat and smell of burning coal and incense. The air itself cough inducing, with the heavy, almost overpowering tang of exotic and fragrant spices as the acrid coal smoke burns your eyes.
As with any canyons gusts of warm wind blow through, giving a brief respite of fresh air, before the stew of fragrances rushes back in to reclaim the space it occupied.
I guess Orcish poop shacks do smell like it …
That’s a picture of Thunder Bluff, not Orgrimmar.
I never know a Orc to bath or shower so probably it smells like Body Odor.
If you ever visit new york, on a hot humid day down down to an area called Canal street, then head south towards the water, take deep long breaths: I am sure Org smells like that.
Walk through Orgrimmar and you’ll be treated to the smells of fresh baked apple pie and chocolate chip cookies. The Valley of Spirits has the pleasant scents of vanilla and lavender wafting through the streets. The Drag is filled with the aromatic bouquet of incense through the tunnels.
Blood Elves and Trolls. They can’t get enough of de Voodoo.
Smells like whatever the rock is cooking.
San Francisco
F-f-f-feces?
To be fair, those stormwind canals would be atrocious as well. I’ve been to cities with those types of waterways, you would not swim in it nor would you likely catch any fish.
Blood and Thunder
The only current faction capitals that don’t smell like flaming poo-buckets are Silvermoon, Suramar, and Exodar.
