The Hideout

History
An inn once stood within Duskwallow Marsh, now burned and forgotten. Long ago, after the Warchief Gorfrunch revolted against Thrall but before it became a military power, Gorfrunch set out to find a hideout to both hide from the New Horde and the Alliance. Coming across the burnt inn in Duskwallow, Gorfrunch began preliminary construction of a perfect staging point for his band of marauders beneath the lonely human inn.
As the Grin grew, so did the hideout. Faquarl had constructed a natural watchtower of marsh trees to keep an eye on Theramoore. Bellmont had constructed a series of tunnels and a large labyrinthine laboratory that only he could navigate. It was from this base the Grin claimed the honor of being the first of the Horde to best Jaina Proudmoore in combat.
Fate
The alliance eventually discovered the Hideout. Gorfrunch led his men against the surprise attack and won, but with the Hideout uncovered, the only choice was to burn everything the Grin had built. Bellmont was forced to blow up his tunnel network for the second time. The Grin left Kalimdor forever after that, moving across the ocean to familiar grounds in the Eatern Kingdoms. From then on the Grin began becoming the strongest military presence opposed to both human and dwarven kingdoms.
