Talk:Lord of the Clans
From WoWWiki
I'm in two minds about this, but should Durotan be listed as a Major character or Minor character? I know he only features briefly at the start of the novel, but he is mentioned numerous times thorughout, and Thrall is told of his father but Drek'thar and Doomhammer. So, what do you lot think?

- Minor, he only makes the one appearence, the rest is just references back to his name. --
Continuity Errors?
Well I started reading this book and I'm only a few chapters in and already I notice several big problems with the story. First off, it says Orgrim Doomhammer is in charge of his own clan, and that he fears being exiled by Gul'dan for meeting with Durotan? As far as I know Doomhammer was never in charge of his own clan, not until he became warchief of the entire horde, and when that happend, he slaughtered all the warlocks and barely spared Gul'dan. I doubt Gul'dan would have the power to banish him, and the book talks about it like he's not warchief anyway.
Then there's the fact that they're in the Hillsbrad Foothills, near Durnholde Keep, where the humans find Thrall, which is apparently an internment camp. If Doomhammer is not yet warchief of the horde, then this must be during the first war. So the humans or the orcs should not even be that far north, and the humans never even built internment camps until after the second war was over, Gul'dan was long dead by then, and Doomhammer was in hiding. So how then, could Orgrim Doomhammer be in charge of a clan of orcs in Hillsbrad foothills, near an internment camp, seemingly a year or two before the internment camps were ever supposed to have even been created?
Does anyone have any explanations for this?
One explanation could be that Lord of the Clans actully takes place after the second war, but then why is Gul'dan still alive? He should be long dead, along with almost every other orc warlock. --Xell Khaar 02:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Guldan IS dead. Drek Thar refers to him as the "late Guldan." And of course it takes place after the second war. Langston was supposedly too young to have fought in the second war. (I'll get page numbers as soon as I can.) Swiftstar 12:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)Swiftstar
- The prologue takes place between the First and Second Wars. The events of the rest of the book take place after the Second War. -- Dark T Zeratul 14:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, Tides of Darkness makes this the case (assuming that by "prologue" you mean "first chapter and a bit"; the prologue takes place prior to the Horde coming through the Dark Portal); it was seemingly intended to start after the Second War, though, given how "the orcs were proving less and less of a challenge each day" immediately after Blackmoore finds Thrall. ANd of course you have to ignore that Doomhammer made better time across land to near Durnholde than the fleeing Stormwind solders did to Southshore by sea.
