Situated in the southern region of Asheville forest, Warsong Gulch is near the area where Grom Hellscream and his Orcs chopped away huge swaths of forest during the events of the Third War. Some orcs have remained in the vicinity, continuing their deforestation to fuel the Horde’’s expansion. They call themselves the Warsong Outriders.
The Night Elves, who have begun a massive push to retake the forests of Ashenvale, are now focusing their attention on ridding their land of the Outriders once and for all. And so, the Silverwing Sentinels have answered the call and sworn that they will not rest until every last Orc is defeated and cast out of Warsong Gulch.

Gaining Honor
The Honor System rewards players for participating in player vs. player combat. By defeating other players and achieving PvP objectives, players earn Honor Points which they can use to purchase a wide array of rewards. There are four sources of Honor:
1. Honorable Kills
2. Killing racial leaders
3. Achieving Battlegrounds objectives
4. Achieving World PvP objectives

Honorable Kills
You receive Honorable Kills for defeating enemy players in battle, provided they are within an acceptable level range of your character’’s level. Each Honorable Kill will net you a reward of Honor Points. The amount of Honor you receive scales similarly to receiving experience from a monster. There are several factors influencing the Honor value of such a kill:
1. Your victim’’s level: To receive honor, you must not significantly outlevel your opponent. The name of your opponent will display in colored text showing their level relative to yours, with the same grey to red scheme that applies to monsters. Killing a “grey” player gives no Honor; while a “red” player is substantially higher level that yours. To receive honor you should focus on players around your own level (green, yellow, and orange).
2. Your own level: The higher level you are, the more honor you receive for honorable kills of same-level opponents. A level 70 character killing another level 70 character gains more Honor than a level 40 character killing another level 40 character.
3. Subsequent kills: Killing the same character multiple times within 24 hours is subject to diminishing honor returns. Each subsequent kill after the initial kill yields 10% less honor, until the reward eventually reaches zero. Note that the Honor calculations that appear in-game do not take these diminishing returns into account.
4. Solo or group: Members of a group or raid will share Honor gains from kills in the same way as XP. However, the raid penalty on XP does not apply to Honor. Lower level members will get a smaller portion of the Honor. The diminishing returns for honor kills on the same enemy still apply while in a group or raid. In addition, group members who are too far away from the site of the kill will not receive a cut of the honor, much like the similar rule for earning XP.
5. Contribution: You must contribute to the honorable kill to receive honor. Contribution includes damaging the enemy, but also includes crowd control, and healing those in battle with that enemy.
6. Being present: You need to be alive and in the proximity of the kill at the time of the kill to get your share of the Honor.

Racial Leaders
Killing one of the powerful NPCs considered leaders of their race nets a high amount of honor. These racial leaders are all on a two hour spawn timer, and the bonus for their defeat is divided between participating solo characters, groups, and raids based on contribution. The racial leaders are:
1. Thrall
2. Cairne Bloodhoof
3. Lady Sylvanas Windrunner
4. Lor”themar Theron
5. Highlord Bolvar Fordragon
6. King Magni Bronzebeard
7. Archdruid Fandral Staghelm
8. Prophet Velen

Achieving Battlegrounds Objectives
Each battleground has special objectives which will grant bonus Honor for their completion. Every member of the faction that completes an objective will gain this bonus Honor. For every battleground, the objective that grants the most bonus Honor is simply winning the match. Other objectives will center around the features of the individual battlegrounds themselves. For example, in Warsong Gulch, capturing the enemy flag will grant bonus honor to the capturing side. Completing bonus objectives is a can be a significant source of Honor, and completing them will provide faster Honor gain than simply killing enemy players in a battleground.

World PvP
Azeroth and Outland provide ample opportunities for fighting other players in the great outdoors. World PvP objectives placed in strategic locations encourage such conflict, especially on PvE servers where the threat of PvP combat is not as pervasive as it is on PvP servers. These special objectives grant bonus honor much in the same way as Battlegrounds objectives. Our World PvP page has more details.

Honor Point Calculation
Daily Honor
Each day, at approximately 2 AM server time, the previous day’’s Honor is awarded for all characters. The Honor from your kills and achieved objectives are added together into your total Honor for the day, completely independent of other characters. You can see the Honor you earn on the PvP tab of your character sheet. Here you can also view your total cumulative Honor and number of honorable kills.
Estimated Honor Point Value
Each honorable kill will register an “estimated honor point value” in the combat log. This is only an estimated value as it does not take diminishing returns (from killing a single player repeatedly) into account. You can also send this message to your main chat window by right-clicking on the channel header and turning on that option in the submenus.

The Cenarion Circle’s main expeditionary force in Outland is known as the Cenarion Expedition. Though it began as a small venture controlled directly by the Cenarion Circle, the expedition has become a large and fairly autonomous body. The expedition is based at Cenarion Refuge in the far east of Zangarmarsh, immediately west of Thornfang Hill in Hellfire Peninsula.

In the lives of most mortals, time is nothing more than a simple hourglass, its sands quietly trickling away. Only few ever realize that in truth, time rages like a storm, untamed and chaotic. When the Titans first descended on Azeroth, vanquishing the Old Gods and bringing order to the world, the Highfather of the Pantheon himself empowered the great dragon Nozdormu with some of his own cosmic powers, enabling the dragon to guard time itself and police the ever-spinning pathways of fate and destiny. And so, the stoic, honorable Nozdormu became known as the Timeless One. Ever since then, Nozdormu’s Brood has guarded the timestream from all who would seek to disrupt its flow, guided by the Timeless One’s wise, all-knowing counsel.
Now, the bronze dragon Anachronos has returned outside the Caverns of Time in the Tanaris desert, the Bronze Dragonflight’s home and province. Events have been set in motion that will shape the future of all of Azeroth, as the attention of the Brood of Nozdormu is focused on Ahn’Qiraj, the fortress city of the Qiraji. It is there that those who are brave enough to heed the dragon’s call should travel. A terrible darkness is building up beyond the Scarab Wall, enough to give pause even to the Timeless One himself. The dragons are rallying their champions to descend into the nightmarish hives beneath Ahn’Qiraj and to finish what they have begun.
The fated hour draws near…

In Outland, Honor Hold and Thrallmar both battle for control of strategic objectives in Zangarmarsh. By wresting control of the Twin Spire Ruins from the opposing faction in Zangarmarsh, you can get access to nice rewards. You can find the Honor Hold and Thrallmar turn in NPCs along the road near Telredor and Zabra’jin for the Alliance and Horde respectively.
