Hunger, not gold or magic, is what motivates them.MoM 50
Due ecocatastrophe caused by the Hordes careless huntings in Arathi Highlands, fleckfur tribe was starving. They did many failed attempts to rob Hordes food repositories. Eventually they had to humble, and they sent gnolls to Hammerfall. Malnourished and forlorn group of gnolls requested work for food, orcs of Hammerfall pitying let them take part as backup troops in one mission. Then orcs truly understood how effective gnolls were as warriors, and employed the whole clan.
It has often been stated that the gnolls would be quite a fearsome race, if they ever stopped tearing each other to pieces long enough to organize themselves into an army." W3Man 139
The rest of the Horde first opposed gnolls as part of the Horde, but then, one by one, they understood importance of gnolls when they saw them in action. Gnolls bravery and ruthlessness impressed indelibly leaders of the Horde.
