The Gordok Ogres are one of the orc clans that fled after being crushed in the second Orc War. They are considered a relatively formidable clan among the ogres.
In those days, the evil Magician Guldan used the nodes of the high elves to establish an array, in an attempt to reverse the declining tide of the war. Not only did he summon ogre clans loyal to him from across dimensions, but he also used magic to catalyze them, turning them all into two-headed ogres.
After their defeat, the ogres scattered and fled. The Gordok landed from the Dustwallow Marsh, prepared to take root in this dim swamp along with allied clans.
However, their territory was defeated by the draconid army of the Black Dragon Princess, forcing them to continue southward migration. They eventually discovered Dire Maul and settled north of it, finally stabilizing.
