 The Battle at Crazy Woman Pass
ATTLE AT The battle for the defence of Crazy Woman Pass was fought in the Mithral Mountains region of the eastern Santharian province of Manthria (former Avennorian kingdom).
The resistance the orcs encountered at Crazy Woman Pass was very important as the pass leads over the central Mithral between the prominent double-peak, the Chalbern, on the southern side and the massive Archare to the north, and therefore constitutes an essential connection to the region of Mossy Rocks Cove.
At this battle the orcs were finally repelled from crossing the Mithral and further orcish attacks during the war focussed on the west instead, leaving the Mossy Rocks Cove area generally unharmed.

 World of Warcraft OGaming - The Orcish Horde Part II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Orcish Horde Part II rcs have forever been the mistempered race which has payed dearly for its mistakes, had the greatest consequences and in my opinion, has suffered the most anguish and agony of all the races in WoW.
