Draenei (Golden Horde)

The Draenei of the parallel Azeroth live as vassals to the Golden Horde. First fighting a war to resist the marauding warband of Chinggis Khagan, they were defeated and ordered to surrender. Since the conquest, the Draenei Eredar lived under the yoke of the warlord. Their capital is the Exodar, ruled by the Council of Exarchs reinstated by Prophet Velen's last will to follow the Khagan of the Golden Horde.

History in the Golden Horde
The Draenei fought as part of the Alliance against Chinggis Khagan. Their strength and numbers did not however match against the fearless Centaurs and the Khagan's tactics to win. Kalimdor burned as the warband advanced, eventually able to seize Night Elf boats and Goblin zeppelin into the Exodar.

Velen slain
Velen saw the Khagan march the Centaurs, but upon seeing his sword visions came of unknown shadows from him; darkness then light coming from another warrior that was wielding the same sword; finally what look like the Khagan wielding the same sword but in light, and another sword of fire leading warriors bathed in the Light against the evils of the Burning Legion.

Knowing what the visions meant, he ordered the leaders of each Draenei sect to meet him. To them, he spoke of the vision, and reinstated the Council of Exarchs.

The Prophet walked to the Khagan's army that was just outside Exodar alone. Seeing he was alone, the warlord met with him, only to duel. Although he was as matched, Velen asked if the Half-Elf will spare his people if they surrendered. The Khagan responded that if they submit to his rule, they will be protected as long as he lives. Assured that the bloodthristy warlord will keep to his word, he allowed himself to be struck down with his body disappearing into the Light. Chinggis Khagan kept his word not to kill the remaining Draenei as Exodar surrendered.

Government
The Council of Exarchs rule the Draenei from the Exodar. The Exarchs are selected from within the sects of Draenei society through series of trials. Leadership within the council is rotated:
 * Sha'tari Proconsul.
 * Rangari Prime.
 * Chief Artificer.
 * High Vindicator.
 * Speaker for the Dead. Vorallus holds this position, and current rotated leader.

Military
The Draenei has no formalised military, relying on the sects for defence. During the war they established unofficial militias by training everyone to be combat-capable in case of an invasion, and provide additional manpower when needed.

Demographics
The population of the Draenei are divided between the uncorrupted, and that of the "Broken".

The Draenei are overwhelmingly followers of the Light of the Naaru, with a few with ancestral shamanism.
