It remained one of the few places in the world (along with Farahlon and portions of Terokkar Forest) that looked largely as they did before the corruption of the world.

However, having largely escaped the severity of corruption seen elsewhere in the world, it became known as mag'har, 'uncorrupted'. Nagrand was one of the first locations to show the signs of corruption from released fel magics including desiccation by long droughts, fertile soil turned to dust and sand that would not hold grasses or crops, and the acrid odor similar to something burning. Today the Mag'har, the orcs who did not partake of the blood of Mannoroth and cut themselves off from the other corrupted clans, make their home here, as do the Kurenai, Broken draenei seeking to find their destiny. When the elements abandoned the orcish people, it was here - again, in the shadow of Oshu'gun - that Gul'dan introduced the orcish people to warlock magics. In fact, the empire ruled out of the city of Highmaul in the west of the region.Дuring the war against the draenei, Prophet Velen and a retinue of priests made their way to Oshu'gun - the vessel that brought them to Draenor - where they were taken prisoner by Durotan and the Frostwolf clan, and eventually released (Durotan's reasoning being that the draenei allowed themselves to be taken prisoner, therefore there was no honor in holding them).

They shared the region with the Burning Blade Clan, and the mortal enemy of the orcs the ogres of the Gorian Empire. The land was home to the Warsong Clan, one of the most spartan of the orcish clans who rode their wolves into battle and spoke in the language of clashing axes and the fury of battle. The clans would assemble at the base of their sacred mountain, Oshu'gun, and give thanks to the spirits. Nagrand was a land that was extremely sacred to the orcs, being the meeting grounds of the orcish people, where the Kosh'harg celebrations were held twice every year. Marauding ogres from the Blade's Edge Mountains, meaning to claim the territory as their own, currently pose the greatest threat to this unspoiled reserve. Today it is a fertile retreat where elementals commune with mortals on a regular basis. It is the ancestral home of the orcs and the heart of early orcish shamanism. Nagrand is the last unscarred region in Outland. See the World PvP section below for more information. The opposing faction, naturally, is locked out of all this, which is precisely why they will be laying siege to it around the clock. Whoever holds it will have access to a mass of amenities including active quest givers, NPCs who accept turn-ins acquired from the zone's monsters, vendors, trainers and the like. In the center of the zone is the neutral town of Halaa, which can be captured by either faction. It is the last remaining unscarred region of Outland. It lies south of Zangarmarsh, west of Terokkar Forest, and southwest of Hellfire Peninsula. Nagrand ('Land of Winds' in orcish) is a zone located in Outland. For the zone from an alternate universe, see Nagrand (alternate universe).
