'''Perith Stormhoof''' is a [[tauren]] [[holy strider]]. While he is not famous in [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], the name of Perith Stormhoof is whispered
with reverence among the holy striders. He is one of the oldest holy striders. Tauren whisper that he has visited both [[Northrend]] and [[Theramore]] without injury, and he has even seen the shattered remains of [[Draenor]]. Perith does not confirm or deny these rumors; he knows that they only strengthen the respect and therefore worth of the holy striders. He works only for [[Cairne Bloodhoof]] and keeps many of his leader’s secrets (even secrets [[Thrall]] doesn’t know).<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg 196</ref>

Ironically, though he is held in high esteem by leaders of the Horde, he carries only the most critical messages, usually dire in nature, and is therefore perceived as a prophet of doom.
