This week’s soundtrack:
(I don’t know that we’ll post a song for every page, but I figure if we have one that fits, we might as well!)
Ah, the Broken. You can’t really delve into draenei and orc lore without visiting them. If you’re unfamiliar with Broken lore, you should absolutely go read Micky Neilson’s short story Unbroken. It’s a fantastic read. Just be warned that our Broken, are not necessarily like Nobundo…

Ah so it was Broken!
It makes sense. Zangarmarsh and Nagrand are where they have their strongest concentration of people as I recall.
And no, they are certainly not as friendly as Nobundo, or even Akama.
Of the tribes that didn’t come back after Nobundo ended their exile I can see how many held bitterness towards the draenei that had cast them out, and outright hatred for the orcs that had helped twist them into their current forms.
Even the Kurenai are very wary of strangers as I recall and they are the friendliest of the lot. Will be interesting to see which tribe these belong to. If it’s Murkblood they are definitely in trouble.
I really like the leaves, leather and fur details on this trio btw. They definitely look like they live in the swamp.
Also, love the lighting in the panel where Vidyala makes her hammer flare with light.
Are the skulls from any specific animals or humanoids?
The skull helmet is of reptilian origin, likely one of Zangarmarsh’s hydras. 🙂
As for the shoulder skull…well, #42 should give you a pretty good guess as to what type of skull this fellow might be wearing as armor. 😉
Man, of all the things for a draenei to defend an orc from, this is perhaps the most awkward.
