Trial of Garrosh Hellscream

The Trial of Garrosh Hellscream was a hotly-debated event, held in the Temple of the White Tiger, in Pandaria. Because of the relevance of Garrosh Hellscream, his crimes, and the recent events that transpired during the Siege of Orgrimmar, the high-profile proceedings of the trial were observed on an international scale. All races of the Alliance and Horde presided over the case, with Tyrande Whisperwind taking the role of accuser, and Baine Bloodhoof playing her counterpart as the defender of Garrosh Hellscream and his war crimes. The leader of the Shado-Pan, Taran Zhu, acted as judge during the trial.

The Opening of the Trial
The leaders of the Alliance and Horde were called to attend the grand trial of Garrosh Hellscream, which took place in the Temple of the White Tiger, situated in the northern mountainous regions of Pandaria. The leaders of the respective factions were joined by their most trusted advisors and allies, and later by a host of various members of their own races.

Pandaria's local living gods, the August Celestials, were present at the trial, along with the Bronze Dragonflight. The trial also welcomed various neutral factions, who were not aligned directly with the Alliance or Horde, in order to act as a physical buffer if conflict broke out between the two groups.

Hellscream, imprisoned beneath the Temple of the White Tiger, was marched out into the main hall with an escort of Pandaren guardsmen. He openly mocked the trial, comparing it to the Darkmoon Faire in spectacle.

As expected, the trial was marred by constant outbursts and protestations from the crowd of observers, and the trial proceeded initially at a lumbering pace. Both the defender and accuser of Hellscream were assisted by a contraption known as the Vision of Time, which allowed them to render any moment in history visually and audibly in precise detail.

Accuser Tyrande Whisperwind utilized the Vision of Time to depict the Orcs as a race of cold-hearted warriors, showing past events that transpired on Draenor, including the merciless genocide of the Draenei people.
