	Games - Thunder Bluff

Thunder Bluff is the fictional capital city in Blizzard Entertainments video game series, Warcraft.

Thunder Bluff, located in the central territory of Mulgore in Kalimdor, is the capital of the Tauren race. It was established by Cairne Bloodhoof after the Tauren, with help from the Orcs, drove away the Centaurs that originally inhabited Mulgore. The city sits atop four mesas (the central mesa as well as Spirit Rise, Elder Rise, and Hunter Rise), each connected by rope bridges, and serves as a hub of commerce for the normally nomadic Tauren. It also serves as a center for caravans, traveling craftsmen and artisans of all kinds. It is even said that inventors of all kinds come there (though it should be noted that even though that is official information, there are no engineers, gnomes, or goblins in Thunder Bluff, giving the word "inventors" a much broader definition which extends to artisans and craftsmen, as suggested). There are a number of class and profession trainers in the city, but the lists are incomplete. Thunder Bluff also serves as the home for the major Tauren figures. Thunder Bluff is only accessible by lift or wyvern, so watch your step or wind up falling to your death.

Major Tauren

Thunder Bluff also serves as the home for the Major Tauren.

Cairne Bloodhoof

The ancient Chief of the Bloodhoof clan, he now became the High Chieftan of the Tauren race. He watches over Thunder Bluff, and over his people in an ever-darkening world. Cairne is a Shaman by nature, and an outstanding warrior, he is considered to be one of the most dangerous creatures alive. Despite his strength and valor, he has a peaceful nature, and longs only for the tranquility of the open plains of Mulgore. It is rumored that if Cairne can place the responsibilities of the Tauren High Chieftan on another, he would leave Thunder Bluff in an instant and retire to the wilds. Many Believe that he is training his son Baine Bloodhoof, who can be found in Bloodhoof village, to take Cairne's place one fateful day. Cairne can be found in the Chieftan's Tent in the eastern Main City, and is accompanied by his Honor Guard.

Magatha Grimtotem

Magatha is the elder crone of the mighty Grimtotem Clan. Blessed with shamanic powers when she was just a young girl, Magatha has sought power and prestige nearly her whole life. She became the matriarch of the Grimtotem clan through an arranged marriage that many suspect she arranged herself, but subsequently lost her mate to an unforeseen climbing accident. Since her mate's death, Magatha has commanded the stern Grimtotem warriors. The Grimtotems believe that Magatha will lead them in eradicating the lesser races from Kalimdor and retaking the Tauren's ancestral holdings abroad. Magatha constantly spars with Cairne Bloodhoof over the direction of the Tauren's future and feels that only she is fit to rule her people.
