With Bovan missing, I act as the leader of the tauren here.

We have taken shelter in this abandoned village for now. But stay vigilant -- the centaur may attack at any time.

What is the history between the tauren and the centaur?

Long ago, centuries before Thunder Bluff and the Horde. we were nomads. We wandered Kalimdor in tribes. following the migration Of the kodo and other game.

Then the centaur poured out of Desolace like a flood. They ravaged the lands and fell upon us like a plague.

Over generations of war, the centaur sought our extermination. No peace. No mercy. Most centaur we met tried to kill us on sight.

Only with the arrival Of the Horde were we able to defeat the centaur once and for all. But we will never forget what the centaur did to us.

Why won't you let Tomul into the village?

During our time here, every centaur we have met has tried to do us harm. Many have been lost in these attacks.

This centaur may claim to want to help, but you understand why we must act out of an abundance of caution.

Why did the tauren come to the Ohn'ahran Plains?

The Windtotem have many differences from Other tauren tribes. They remained nomads. and never settled in Mulgore. Another difference is their veneration of the Wild god Ohn'ahra.

RecentIy, Bovan believed he received visions from Ohn'ahra. They showed the Windtotem traveling to a faraway land. After much discussion. the tribe decided to follow the visions.

When Bovan told Thunder Bluff of his intentions, some decided to join him. It is still unclear what his visions meant. And With Bovan gone, we may never know.

pointing out people hate a character blizzard has failed time and time again to make even semi interesting isn't some sort of "gotcha" it just make you look like bootlicking fan boys who lack the abilities to admit blizzard can make bad characters.
