'''[[Warcraft: Lord of the Clans']]'' is a novel by Christie Golden based in [[Blizzard Entertainment]]'s ''[[Warcraft]]'' Universe. It was published by Pocket Books. The story of the novel was originally going to be used in the adventure game ''Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans'' until it was canceled. It is the second book released in the Warcraft Universe after ''Warcraft: Day of the Dragon''. It is part of the [[Warcraft Expanded Universe]].
 
 
The book tells the tale of Thrall, a young orc orphaned by assassins who kill both his parents. After being found by a human named Blackmoore, Thrall is taken to his castle, where he is raised to fight in gladitorial games to earn the alcoholic Blackmoore money. After escaping the castle with the help of a human girl, Taretha, Thrall travels to reunite the orcs.

This book contains the following tropes:
 
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The original source for the plot was a [[Full Throttle]]-like game starring Thrall. While never released, all the material release concerning the game indicates that the book is quite an improvement.
** Though never released, someone managed to get a hold of it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ6tg1Id6-c here]. As expected, the game didn't particularly hold up to Blizzard's standards, though the voice acting is absolutely fantastic.
