The True Horde was the name of the band of rebels who rallied against the tyrannical rule of Garrosh Hellscream, Warchief of the Horde. Although the Horde was slowly disintegrating for some time and several members were either banished or withdrawn from the organization, civil war had not begun until the secession of the Troll Empire by its leader, Vol'jin, who formed the True Horde with the Blood Elves, Forsaken, Bloodhoof Tauren and various other former Horde allies and sought to overthrow Garrosh.
