Chosen of Draenor
"Warriors from another world, I am told. But deir prowess is hardly mistakable compared to any warrior from our world. Dey got da grit, de firepower and deir savage lineage may be of use to us." - Kezuga, Tetrarch of the Painted Shields
Lok'tar Ogar!
Led by Warlord Rulk Gorestalk, the Chosen of Draenor, more formally known as 'Swinetusks', are a group of marauding orcs known for their savagery and no-nonsense attitude when it comes to battle. They have pledged to protect the Horde and fight any who stand in their way... whether they support it or not.Whilst having good-to-decent relations with the rest of the Horde organisations and military bands, the Swinetusks do not approve any form of diplomacy with the Alliance or the Loyalist forces, simply having a 'kill first, ask questions later' mentality. The priority target in any battlefield will always be the Draenei however, due to part misunderstanding, part prejudice. They are and always will be loyal to the Horde.
Background
The Grom'kar Advance
Formerly, the organisation was under a different leader, Erak Blackscar. The blackrock commander initially had ideas of restoring the old Iron Horde military unit, the Grom'kar, and with it its tenets: Iron Will, Iron Blood. The unit comprised of all the races that could be taken from the ruins of Draenor: Orcs, Ogres, even Ogronn. The Grom'kar managed to prove their worth during the Dragonblight Campaign, to defend against the scourge. However, it was here their truer colours were revealed. The Draenei which they had referred to as 'Lightbound' were relentlessly assaulted by the group, and anyone else which assisted them. Their thirst for blood was of common taste - any under the blue banner would do. Returning home, the commander soon retired. Some said he was meditating in the wilds, others claimed he had been suffering from back problems due to lack of a spine.A New Dawn
Gorestalk took over the Grom'kar once Erak stepped down. His first order: For it to be dissolved. He soon formed the Swinetusks afterwards, keeping some of the core tenets but establishing new ones. The Chosen of Draenor are now often seen collaborating with the Hand of Conquest and the Rastari Cohort. To earn coin, the warband often hunt for rare and elusive animals. They sell their pelt on for gold, and keep the heads as trophies. The Swinetusk went on a personal mission to claim a valley from Quillboar. After many bloody battles, using aid from both the Rastari Cohort and the Thirteenth, they managed to push out the Rottusk tribe from their home and claimed it as their new home - Gor'gol. They fought tooth and nail in Northrend after the sky had shattered in Icecrown. After the Scourge were freed, their main target of interest was the rogue, undead herds - well, after the Draenei at least.Blood and Thunder!
"They kill the Quillboar at least. Other than that they just make noise with their screaming. I'd join, if I didn't have to work this field."
-Gormush, local barrens farmer.

Allies
Unlikely allies, the Bilgewater and the Swinetusks seem to be aligned in views and morals. No matter how odd, the two remain steadfast comrades.
Friendly
Forged in the battles of the Gloomspire, the Stampede, and the Swinetusks both align in terms of honor, hunting, and mutual respect.
Allies
Though some disagree with the occasional practise of blood magic and haemomancy, the Rastari Cohort and the Swinetusk have proven to have good rapport on the field of battle.
Hostile
The Orcs of this particular group have always shown disdain and hostility towards the Draenei, especially the Lightforged, but for reasons unknown. These Orcs are to be considered hostile.
Pinkskinned dogs are never to be reasoned with. Avoiding them is sometimes the best option.
