template | talk | edit The Great Portal was the final battle of the Second War. Following the Alliance's victory at Blackrock Spire, the remaining Orcish forces retreated to the areas surrounding the Dark Portal. Under the command of Uther Lightbringer, the Alliance forces wiped out the surviving members of the Burning Blade clan and then battled the forces of the Dragonmaw clan and Black Tooth Grin clan, charged with protecting the Dark Portal, which was guarded by a cadre of Blackrock clan Death Knights and daemons.
