Aparoshe Stampede
Peace must be earned. Our people strive for balance, but there is none. Our enemies move into our borders, they watch our gates and our lands, and we have seen little to make sure the Shu'halo can sleep at night. They will dare to abuse our normally peaceful ways, and in turn, we will meet them first. We will be on them as a stampede. They see us as peaceful. We will show them otherwise. And when those that threaten us finally understand we are not to be walked over, then the soil will stop shaking with our hooves, and peace will be there for those in our borders.

About
The Aparoshe Stampede is a Tauren and Highmountain focused Warband that declares themselves protectors of their people. Their focus is on active defense, much as opposed to the average method of Tauren that strives for peace, believing that peace must be earned and there must be those willing to fight for it. They take an active, early approach to their threats, even going so far as to venture out of their lands to stop enemy aggression before it begins. Despite this, they temper themselves with wisdom, not actively goading threats and even coming to terms with words if it can be done. They are no strangers to conflict, however, willing to put themselves in harm's way for the name of the lands and their people. The Stampede work closely with groups in the Horde and believe that unity in diversity, and fighting beyond the brink, has made the Horde strong. Much like how the Orcs fought the Centaur to save the Tauren from death, so too are strong bonds forged with unlikely allies. Pragmatically, the Stampede's smaller numbers mean they need the aid of others for larger battles, and cooperation is vital to how the Horde operates. Known enemies of the Stampede are those the Tauren are familiar with: Centaur, Quilboar, Harpies. The Mongrel Horde are known enemies that the Stampede doesn't hesitate to face. On top of that, animosity is given to the Northwatch and the Dwarves of Dun Baldar, and Dwarves in general for what happened to the Stonespire Tribe.Ichnee Post
In the corner of Northern Barrens, at the border of Ashenvale and Stonetalon Mountains, laid a single tent, burial site, mill, and totems. After its destruction by the vile Dirge many Mu'sha's ago, it has now been rebuilt, and the Aparoshe Stampede has laid claim to it as its village and named it, Ichnee Post. Ichnee means Strong, Strength in Taurahe. Several tents have been put up, along with a lumber 'lodge', a wyvern nesting ground, Kodo grounds, and more.

Friendly
An unlikely alliance of convenience when starting out has cemented a firm bond of kinship with the Dustpaw Caravan.
Friendly
Forged in the battles of the Gloomspire, the Stampede, and the Swinetusks both align in terms of honor, hunting, and mutual respect.
Friendly
With both groups having a keen interest in the protection of the lands, the Thirteenth and the Stampede regularly fight together and share similar views.
Friendly
An unlikely union of Elves and Tauren that have different skill sets that complement each other well. Their mutual appreciation of the sun helps a lot.
Friendly
The Black Silks have always been honorable allies to fight with, and their joint views on forwarding action usually have them in agreement.
Friendly
Both of reverence to Mu'sha, the Sisterhood's arcane learnings supplement the Tauren's brute strength, both keen to defend the border of Suramar and Highmountain.
Friendly
From what times they've worked together, there has been no bad blood, and they are the rare mercenaries that the Stampede would trust.
Neutral
Despite previously poor interactions regarding the sanctity of Tauren souls, the Stampede are willing to work towards mutual goals. With skepticism.
Hostile
The Dwarves rally to defend what they call "their" lands in Dun Baldar. The Dwarves dig too deep, and vengeance will be had for the Stonespire.
Hostile
Attacking the mines of Stonetalon has left a very sour taste, and though they fight more honorably than most, they are still enemies.
Hostile
Plunder of Highmountain tombs and fighting have cemented the pirates as thieves and desecrators, and the Stampede does not like them at all.
Hated
Several traitors and enemies of the Stampede dwell in their ranks, and their presence is only tolerated with violence and their death.
Hostile
Encountering these amnesty breaking tauren before, Knight-Captain Dryden himself has defeated in battle and cut off the horns of one of their commanders, Meloh.
