Blizzard's excuse for why the Axe of Cenarius didn't become the arms warrior artifact was because "the axe was too druidic in nature to match the class fantasy of the warrior class they were going for in Legion."

There is secret powers for the Orcs... well, a secret heritage due to them sharing a similar background to that of the Humans: originally a Titanforged Race, only for the local power that was affecting their world to slowly corrupt and infect the servitor creations and cause them to become flesh-and-blood instead over the slow course of generations. In the case of the Orcs: they were a degenerate race several generations removed from Grond: a mighty creation of the Titan Aggramar which was born to cleanse the highly-aggressive plantlife of Draenor in order to keep it from devouring the planets' Biosphere entirely. The Evergrowth seeped it's roots into the living mountain to break it apart: only for those fragments to become The Colossals; while they were slightly weaker than Grond they were also more intelligent and Aggramar tasked the Colossals with continuing with the work for the Titan even after he was called away. The Colossals would do battle with the Evergrowth and it's subsequent lesser selves known as the Sporemounds; with the Colossals giving rise to the Magnaron, the Gronn, the Ogron, the Ogres, and finally the Orcs. The fact that the Orcs were a degenerate race designed initially by Aggramar as little more than a walking talking herbicide: only for them to become a powerful fighting force that was hired by the Burning Legion as the Old Horde; only for them to break away from their pact and fight back against them and eventually taking the fight to Argus and defeating the Legion and saving Aggramar is a power-move worthy of the ages.

He is pretty much the reason I've mained Warrior exclusively when I was still playing, and I am not ashamed to admit that. After all, magic is fickle. But good steel? That, you can trust.

Giant elemental named Grond corrects the balance of Draenor but dies in the process before finishing the job. Stone giants rose from his corpse and finished the job. The stone giants that survived devolved into the Magnaron, then the Gronn, then the Ogron, the Ogres and finally the Orcs.

My early obsession with Varok stemmed from having read those books as a kid and realizing they were related. Broxigar was such an awesome character, and while his death was sad it was also the sort of death every other orc dreams of. Outside of demigods and magical beings it may be the most BA last stand in the Warcraft universe. Up until shadowlands ruined afterlives for everyone I always hoped for Varok to one day achieve a similar death and be met by his son, brother, and father. That would have been a much more impactful death imo, but their new nonsensical mythos wouldn’t allow for such a reunion 🤦♂️ I just wish one of his kids was still alive, but it appears the saurfang line has sadly come to an end.

Broxigar is so badass I've been using Broxar as a nickname for my orc warrior for the past 10 years. The legacy lives on!

EPIC lore! Even if only 1 Orc exists, that Orc will be heard. Bless you Platinum! Please never change!

The Axe of Cenarius was originally supposed to be the Arms Warrior Artifact weapon in Legion but early playtesters complained that a "Druidy" axe wasn't "Cool" enough so it was replaced with Stromkar hence why Stromkar didn't have a unique quest associated with it even though the Arathi humans got a bit of screentime in Legion in the Death Knight order hall even even though Broxigar and the Axe showed up in Legion too

Chaddest orc in existence i'd love to see an epic cinematic of Broxigar fighting the demons and facing Sargeras at the end with Holding out for a hero from Bonnie Tyler as background song

If I remember correctly, the axe of Cenarius wasn't made into an artifact (though it was originally planned for Arms Warriors) was something along the lines of it being too legendary and may put the others to shame

To be fair to Brox, with the Legion expansion it was retconned from being goblins that strapped the plates to Deathwing to being the Drogbar. So Brox got beat up by a bunch of Drogbar which isn't as bad

With how awesome his lore is, it's amazing that Blizz hasn't put in more with him. I only recall seeing him once for a Legion quest line. Even his legendary axe would have been perfect for Arms warriors.

I read the War of the Ancients Trilogy every couple of years or so. Brox is quite rightly called a legend
