I mean, keep in mind that AU Draenor is literally an alternate timeline, it has several things on it that our Draenor did not before the destruction of Draenor, not to mention there were things and creatures on our Draenor that did not exist on AU draenor. It is quite possible that AU Draenor never experienced the Red Pox.

Both the Arakkoa and the Draenei, when inflicted with the curse, lose connection to the Light. They’re both races - directly or indirectly - very connected to the Light. Without it, they wither like a hollow from Dark Souls, only without any humanity available to restore it. It’s a sad existence. The Orcs, meanwhile, weren’t and could recover, especially thanks to the diluted nature of the red pox disease. Their bodies simply expelled the cursed blood. The Draenei and Arakkoa were not so lucky. Arakkoa, upon contact with the blood of Sethe, almost instantly transform and break. The Draenei don’t have a much better chance. But their transformation, I believe, is much slower, again likely due to the diluted nature of the blood they inhaled.

Best head canon I can think of is that the Gul'dan infected the Orcs with red pox to try and cut them off from the elements, the same way that the Arrokoa were cut of from Rukhmar, and the Draenai from the light. That way the Horde would be more willing to embrace the fel.

I guess Guldan's trick was that he promised that drinking the Blood of Mannoroth would make you immune to the Red Pox disease which might be true, as demon's don't really seem to get sick of any diseases.

Even I remember in old tbc servers (not the relaunched version) there was a chain quest in nagrand explaining the brown color of maghar orcs its an aftermath of the red pox (remember in the old lore orcs are green from birth)

7:09 If you refer to the original event of known Azerothian history and redescribed from the draenei survivors, then wasn't it Temple of Karabor that orcs raided, which used to be the center of draenei city before Shattrath was even formed?
@BrendanAurabolt
@BrendanAurabolt Жыл бұрын
No. Shattrath City and Karabor were both raided. Karabor (present day Black Temple) was far more important to the Draenei culture and religionwise but the biggest concentration of their people lived in Shattrath City. Shattrath fell first and it was during that battle for the city the Draenei first learned the Orcs had devised a way to sever their connection to the Light. You have to keep in mind to that point, those who sided with Sargeras were the only kin they knew who were no longer connected to the Light. You also need to remember for a while, they treated the Broken like outcasts and...yeah.

I remember why gul dan released the red pox on the orc’s. During that time there was some religious conflict with the dranie entering the forbidden grounds of the orcs which is that large stone on the middle of Nagran, and they discovered a Naruu in that stone and when leaving the orcs caught them and forbid them from entering their sacred grounds. This happened the same day they were celebrating the Kosh’harg festival with all the clans and of corse gul’dan saw this opportunity the release the red pox on the orcs and “BLAMED IT ON THE DRANIE!” yeah that’s how big of d$&k gul’dan was. And so the orcs believed this and after drinking the demons blood they happily raided on of the dranie cities believing their claiming vengeance for what they did to their people... Yeah before I remembered this I was mixing the original lore with alternate universe of Draneo where after the red pox incident Garrosh was lied to about the alliance preparing an invasion to slave the orc which in theory I believe garrosh had no choice but drink the demon blood to get stronger since their shorter in numbers and that completes the circle of gul’dans control over the orcs. But that’s was when I remember what happened before alternate universe and before we had the Warcraft chronicles. 😁
