Lore Bending and Lore Abiding
The Stormpaw Tribe has a pretty lax policy surrounding "lore bending." Generally speaking, we consider things like the Shadowlands expansion to be something we just don't talk about—a collective decision we made upon returning to the game.

There’s always going to be a difference between lore bending and lore breaking. Breaking the lore is usually on the more extreme end, where it makes collaboration impossible. Bending, however, is often just a matter of personal flavor.

Tor'nau Island: Our Home
Settled a few miles off the south-eastern coast of Kalimdor, near the shores of Tanaris, rests Tor'nau Island.

This small island has been designated as the permanent home for all those who walk under the tribe’s banner.

The main settlement, Tor'nau Village, is situated on the southern edge of the island, featuring a modest port that manages...
