Bloodlust of the Frostwolves?
#1
Bloodlust is defined as "a strong desire for bloodshed." (Quoted from the wiki)

A while back, before reset, I remember when Mowg was chilling with his Orc homies. I recall hearing the Frostwolves were immune to the Bloodlust that affected the Orcs. Yet, lore seems to state otherwise. I this still the general mentality of the server, or was it just the group I was with, or did I miss something in lore?

My reasons they do:
One theme of Lord of the Clans was Thrall fighting to control his bloodlust, and ultimately beating it. He, his parents, and his grandparents were Frostwolves. So if his clan was immune, due to not consuming Mannoroth's blood, why would he suffer from Bloodlust?

If you're the type to ignore the novels for some reason, let's look at Garrosh. Saurfang warned him that if he didn't control himself, the horde would fall down the "Dark Path" again, relating to the bloodlust. Garrosh is a Mag'har, who clearly seems to suffer from the bloodlust.

The Blood Curse, differant from Bloodlust, caused the Frostwolves to turn green through exposure. Similarly, they were mutated, even if they restrained themselves better.

Is this still the mentality, was it the group, or did I miss anything?

I was reminded of this when I was re-touching up on Orc lore.

I believe it is a mentality thing. The majority of Orcs, other than the Chieftains, were greened through exposure. I don't know, Orc Bloodlust is tricky. That's my thoughts.

The dark path meant the path of fel.

The bloodlust was given to them by fel exposure or drinking demon blood.

Here's my two cents.

There's two different types of Bloodlusts.

The 'natural' bloodlust an Orc feels. Being a barbaric race, it's normal for them.

The 'fel' bloodlust. It's much harder to control than the normal bloodlust, and causes them to go even crazier than usual. This all depends on whether you've tasted fel blood in your life, and if you're still under its influence. The 'fel' bloodlust becomes more and more distant and faded over time, but never truly subsides.

The orcs weren't always barbaric, the felblood made them this way.

Orcs were always barbaric. They knew/had their limits as Mag'har, but they still fought tribal wars, and had blood-line disputes and tribes built primarily of warriors (Thunder Lords, Warsong, Blackrock, Bonechewers, Shattered Hand... debatably anyways, Laughing Skull). This much I do know. My main question is, if the Frostwolves do not have a bloodlust to control, then why did Thrall struggle to control it? I know the blood curse made the Orcs more agressive, larger, and physically stronger, but that's not the concern.

Could be some way the Frostwolves were raised?
