The few Blademasters who still exist are now loyal to the Horde. They have sworn oaths to free their people from demonic corruption, and they usually do this through example: If they can be as formidable as they are without the Legion's help, other orcs can as well. Blademasters lead their people into melee combat unhesitatingly seeking the most vulnerable champions - magi, druids and the like. Blademasters willingly go toe-to-toe with other melee experts as we well, drawing from ages of tradition to fuel their combat prowess. their sashimono banners allow their troops to identify them on the battlefield and move to where the action is thickest. Many act as bodyguards for other Horde champions.

The new Blademasters gain their speed and agility as blessing from the spirits, marking them as ones familiar with the arts of shamanism. Yet even on their own, a Blademaster's skill equals that of batallions of their foes, making them a most formidable opponent. They fight with honor, making battle with swords an artform, using their combat prowess only to protect the new Horde, and forever loyal to Thrall.
