The '''Stonemaul clan'''<ref>[[Stonemaul Clan Banner]]</ref> is an [[ogre]] [[clan]] which, after the [[Second War]], separated in two — one part sailing west to [[Kalimdor]] and establishing a [[village]] in [[Dustwallow Marsh]]<ref>{{ref game |title=Warcraft III |expansion=[[The Frozen Throne]] |campaign=[[The Founding of Durotar]] |mission=[[Old Hatreds]] |zone=[[Dustwallow Marsh]]}}</ref> while the other remained in [[Lordaeron]].<ref>In [[The Dark Lady]] chapter, Mug'thol and all his ogres are of team "Stonemaul Ogre".</ref>
   
  +
==History==
'''Lord Darius Crowley''' was once a [[Gilneas|Gilnean]] nobleman who dissented against King [[Genn Greymane]]'s decision to secede from the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]], and led the [[Northgate rebellion]] which led to the [[Gilneas civil war]]. He became a [[worgen]] during the ''[[Worgen starting experience]]'' and now leads the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]] which fights against the Forsaken along with the [[Bloodfang pack]] and the [[7th Legion]].
 
  +
===Warcraft III===
  +
The part of the clan in Lordaeron was involved in a [[The Dark Lady|battle]]; their leader [[Mug'thol]] was possessed by a [[banshee]] and the clan accepted to serve [[Sylvanas]].<ref>{{ref game |title=Warcraft III |expansion=[[The Frozen Throne]] |campaign=[[Legacy of the Damned]] |mission=[[The Dark Lady]]}}</ref> After he and his ogres aided in the defeat of [[Varimathras]], [[Balnazzar]], and [[Detheroc]], Mug'thol was sent to retrieve the [[Crown of Will]]. Once acquired, he tried it on, and subsequently broke the psychic link with Sylvanas, thus freeing himself from the Forsaken's control. He and his ogres have renamed themselves as the [[Crushridge]] clan.<ref>{{quest|The Crown of Will}}.</ref>
   
  +
The other part of the clan reached Kalimdor; an [[ogre]] named [[Kor'gall]], came into possession of the ancient orcish axe, [[Serathil]], and used its magical powers to rise quickly through the ranks of the Stonemauls. But Kor'gall's ride to power stemmed from nothing more than a desire to overpower his kin, and his rule was brutal and merciless, and one ogre, whose brothers were killed by Kor'gall, knew that he was leading the clan to ruin, he barely escaped alive and went with the [[Horde]] to ask for help.<ref>{{ref game |title=Warcraft III |expansion=[[The Frozen Throne]] |campaign=[[The Founding of Durotar]] |mission=[[Old Hatreds]]}}</ref>
==Biography==
 
At the time of the [[Second War]], Lord Crowley was a nobleman whose lands and people were outside the [[Greymane Wall]]. Crowley was one of the nobles that accompanied Greymane to [[Capital City]] to hear of [[Stormwind]]'s fall and [[Anduin Lothar]]'s warning about the invading orcish Horde. Crowley advised Greymane to send aid to the newly-formed Alliance. Greymane agreed out of self-serving reasons but offered only token support.
 
   
  +
Kor'gall was soon approached by [[Rexxar]], a [[Mok'Nathal]] of the Horde. Rexxar demanded to join the clan, and Kor'gall agreed, but only if he were to pass through the gauntlet, a valley full of many beasts. Rexxar and his friends survived the gauntlet, and Kor'gall was impressed, and allowed Rexxar to join. Rexxar's first request was to aid the [[Horde]], but Kor'gall had no intention of ever honouring their former allies again. Frustrated, Rexxar exercised his right to challenge Kor'gall for leadership of the clan. Kor'gall decided to entertain the request, but warned that he was not as slow-witted as Rexxar first guessed.
When Gilneas seceded from the Alliance, they created the [[Greymane Wall]], a massive barrier that walled off his lands from the rest of Gilneas. Crowley opposed King Greymane's decision to abandon his people and later led the [[Northgate rebellion]], an uprising that resulted in a [[Gilneas civil war|civil war]]. In retaliation for Greymane's decision to abandon the Alliance, it was Crowley that was responsible for sending the [[Gilneas Brigade]] to [[Jaina Proudmoore]] during the [[Third War]].<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/genngreymane.html#11</ref> He was eventually arrested on the grounds of treason and held at [[Stoneward Prison]].
 
   
  +
Though it took several tries, Rexxar finally beat Kor'gall and slew him. As Kor'gall died, the last words on his ears were his men cheering for Rexxar.
When the capital of [[Gilneas]] was attacked by feral [[worgen]], Crowley was released by Gilnean [[adventurer]]s and convinced to give aid to Greymane, who had ordered the evacuation of Gilneas. In order to divert the worgen's attention from the fleeing citizens, Crowley led a group of brave Gilneans to stand against them at [[Light's Dawn Cathedral]]. Crowley and his followers were overwhelmed, and became worgen themselves.<ref>http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17055-cataclysm-hands-on-worgen-starting-experience/</ref>
 
  +
With his death Rexxar assumed the position of chieftain. He then led the Stonemaul ogres back to [[Tidefury Cove]], where [[Thrall]] was assembling the Horde. Thrall sent his soldiers and the Stonemaul ogres to [[Theramore]] to keep Proudmoore's forces at bay while Rexxar and his few companions wove through the battle to face off against Proudmoore and his most loyal retainers. In the end, Rexxar and Proudmoore squared off in mortal combat, and Rexxar emerged victorious.
   
  +
===World of Warcraft===
Soon afterward, Lord Crowley began capturing feral worgen in the woods of the [[Blackwald]], trying to make them sane.<ref>[http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/7789/image6d.jpg PC Gamer Magazine, November 2009. Page 46]</ref> As the [[Invasion of Gilneas|Forsaken invasion]] went on, [[Genn Greymane]] and Lord Godfrey traveled to [[Tal'doren]] to ask Crowley to help unite Gilneas against the [[Forsaken]]. Due to [[Lord Godfrey]]'s tyrannical command, Darius was hesitant to accept. Greymane tells Darius that he is asking him as a friend and not as a king and after revealing that he too had succumbed to the worgen curse, Darius agreed to join forces.
 
  +
After the battle, Rexxar disappeared into the Barren wilderness and made the ogre [[Mok'Morokk]] the leader of the Clan.
   
  +
Although Mok'Morokk had displayed strength when Rexxar was their leader, he soon fell prey to temptations of power after Rexxar's departure. Rather than lead, he demanded. He did not serve his people, as he expected them to serve him.
With Gilneas now in enemy hands following the [[Invasion of Gilneas|Forsaken invasion]], Lord Crowley lead the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]] against the [[Forsaken]] in [[Silverpine Forest]]. With help from the [[7th Legion]], who used a submarine to pass through enemy lines, the [[Alliance]] gained the upper hand in Gilneas. However, agents of the Horde ended up destroying some of the reinforcements and enabled the Forsaken to resurrect Lord Godfrey as one of their own, a fact that none of the Gilneans were aware of.
 
   
  +
[[Image:Brackenwall Village.jpg|Brackenwall Village|thumb]]
With Godfrey's help the Forsaken successfully captured Darius's daughter [[Lorna Crowley|Lorna]]. [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] herself rode out to meet with Darius at the shattered [[Greymane Wall]] and gave him two choices - the surrender of the Gilneas Liberation Front, or Lorna's death and resurrection as one of the Forsaken. Without a moment of hesitation, Darius agreed to surrender in order to protect his daughter. Sylvanas allowed them to flee to Gilneas, which was still contested between the Alliance and the Horde.
 
   
  +
Later Stonemaul Village was raided by [[Onyxia]]'s brood. The daughter of the black dragonlord, [[Deathwing]], was there for a greater reason — one which they didn't know.
In Curse of the Worgen, it is discovered that Crowley could not resume his human form at the time of the invasion because he held onto guilt. It is unknown if this is still the case.<ref>Curse of the Worgen issue 5</ref>
 
   
  +
Mok’Morokk led the clan to [[Brackenwall Village]], where he ruled unquestioned until an unknown challenger drove him out. While [[Draz'Zilb]] runs the show from the shadows, the clan seeks a new leader; but they have renewed their ties to the Horde. The aging [[Tharg]] is the most likely candidate for leadership of the clan, but most of the Stonemaul ogres secretly desire Rexxar’s return.<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', pg. 156</ref>

==Trivia==
 
  +
Two [[realm]]s in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' ([[Server:Stonemaul US|Stonemaul US]] and [[Server:Stonemaul Europe|Stonemaul EU]]) are named after the Stonemaul ogres.
*There is a growing fanbase for Darius Crowley, mostly due to his ability to cleave mobs using only his fists during a quest in the Worgen starting area. Due to this, it has been suggested by several players that he could finally be the [[Alliance]]'s version of [[Varok Saurfang]].
 
*His name could be a reference to the song "Mr. Crowley" by [[wikipedia:Ozzy Osbourne|Ozzy Osbourne]], which is in turn a reference to 20th-century occultist [[wikipedia:Aleister Crowley|Aleister Crowley]]. This song is also used in the meme growing around the character, with fans referring to the character as "Miiiiister Croooowwwwley" (dun dun dun!). Early in its existence, the Mr. Crowley meme was referenced by the voice actor [[Jesse Cox]] in his worgen starting zone videos.
 
*His name could also be a reference to [[wikipedia:Darius I of Persia|Darius the Great]].
 
*In earlier beta builds, Crowley's Worgen form wielded a two-handed sword, however he has since been changed to dual wield fist weapons. It's possible this was done intentionally by Blizzard in response to his fistcleaving meme.
 
*While Darius has no problems sacrificing the lives of his men for his homeland and even deliberately using [[Caretaker Smithers|one]] as a pawn in order to set up a trap against the forsaken, he will not allow any harm to come to his daughter no matter the costs, as shown at the end of a quest chain in Silverpine when he surrendered to the Forsaken to prevent Lorna from becoming one of them.
 
*He is occasionally referred to as "Lord Box Head", "Darius Boxhead" or "Boxhead Crowley" due to his Worgen model in early beta builds.

Kor'gall

The Stonemaul clan[1] is an ogre clan which, after the Second War, separated in two — one part sailing west to Kalimdor and establishing a village in Dustwallow Marsh[2] while the other remained in Lordaeron.[3]

History

Warcraft III

The part of the clan in Lordaeron was involved in a battle; their leader Mug'thol was possessed by a banshee and the clan accepted to serve Sylvanas.[4] After he and his ogres aided in the defeat of Varimathras, Balnazzar, and Detheroc, Mug'thol was sent to retrieve the Inv crown 02 [Crown of Will]. Once acquired, he tried it on, and subsequently broke the psychic link with Sylvanas, thus freeing himself from the Forsaken's control. He and his ogres have renamed themselves as the Crushridge clan.[5]

The other part of the clan reached Kalimdor; an ogre named Kor'gall, came into possession of the ancient orcish axe, Inv axe 08 [Serathil], and used its magical powers to rise quickly through the ranks of the Stonemauls. But Kor'gall's ride to power stemmed from nothing more than a desire to overpower his kin, and his rule was brutal and merciless, and one ogre, whose brothers were killed by Kor'gall, knew that he was leading the clan to ruin, he barely escaped alive and went with the Horde to ask for help.[6]

Kor'gall was soon approached by Rexxar, a Mok'Nathal of the Horde. Rexxar demanded to join the clan, and Kor'gall agreed, but only if he were to pass through the gauntlet, a valley full of many beasts. Rexxar and his friends survived the gauntlet, and Kor'gall was impressed, and allowed Rexxar to join. Rexxar's first request was to aid the Horde, but Kor'gall had no intention of ever honouring their former allies again. Frustrated, Rexxar exercised his right to challenge Kor'gall for leadership of the clan. Kor'gall decided to entertain the request, but warned that he was not as slow-witted as Rexxar first guessed.

Though it took several tries, Rexxar finally beat Kor'gall and slew him. As Kor'gall died, the last words on his ears were his men cheering for Rexxar. With his death Rexxar assumed the position of chieftain. He then led the Stonemaul ogres back to Tidefury Cove, where Thrall was assembling the Horde. Thrall sent his soldiers and the Stonemaul ogres to Theramore to keep Proudmoore's forces at bay while Rexxar and his few companions wove through the battle to face off against Proudmoore and his most loyal retainers. In the end, Rexxar and Proudmoore squared off in mortal combat, and Rexxar emerged victorious.

World of Warcraft

After the battle, Rexxar disappeared into the Barren wilderness and made the ogre Mok'Morokk the leader of the Clan.

Although Mok'Morokk had displayed strength when Rexxar was their leader, he soon fell prey to temptations of power after Rexxar's departure. Rather than lead, he demanded. He did not serve his people, as he expected them to serve him.

Brackenwall Village

Brackenwall Village

Later Stonemaul Village was raided by Onyxia's brood. The daughter of the black dragonlord, Deathwing, was there for a greater reason — one which they didn't know.

Mok’Morokk led the clan to Brackenwall Village, where he ruled unquestioned until an unknown challenger drove him out. While Draz'Zilb runs the show from the shadows, the clan seeks a new leader; but they have renewed their ties to the Horde. The aging Tharg is the most likely candidate for leadership of the clan, but most of the Stonemaul ogres secretly desire Rexxar’s return.[7]

Stonemaul Hold

Stonemaul Clan expanding into Feralas

In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, with Orhan Ogreblade leading them, the Stonemaul clan have moved into Feralas to help deal with the local population of hostile ogres. They built Stonemaul Hold in western Feralas near Dire Maul.
