WHY IT MATTERS

• Legacy: Orcs vs. Humans launched the very first Warcraft RTS in 1994 and still drives WoW storylines.
• Depth: The conflict has grown from a demon‑driven invasion to a nuanced cultural clash—honor‑bound orcs vs. kingdom‑building humans—leaving room for diplomacy, betrayal, and uneasy cooperation.
