Guided by his mentor, Morok, an old orc hermit, Baraad learned to communicate with the elements. Together, they traveled through Draenor, far from his village, to find elemental artifacts.

Even though he was far from them, he missed his family every day. Before leaving, he promised to return to them as soon as his training would be over.

However, destiny chose otherwise.

 As he was on his way back home, Baraad heard a voice whispering terrible news to him. Panicked by the words, he hurried on, helped by the elements. But he arrived too late. Before him stood a village in ashes, riddled with inanimate draenei bodies. None was left alive... except an orc in tears, carrying a dead body in his arms. It was Yarruk, the lover of his sister, Eraa. After explaining to him what had happened, Yarruk swore he would get revenge.

Since that day, united by sorrow and by the love they each had for Eraa, they are travelling Draenor once more, but this time in search of justice.
