News spread quickly through the tauren capitol city this morning that Gordo, a level 54 orc shaman and a pillar of the alchemy community, was taken into custody by armed guards in the middle of the night for an alleged sexual relationship with an under-level druid.

Mr. Gordo, a prominent figure and self-proclaimed “family orc”, was charged by the Thunder Bluff tribunal with ‘having a sexual relationship with an inexperienced spell caster’ and ‘exposing himself in a place of worship.’ Hardcasual has learned from several trusted sources that Mr. Gordo probably became involved with the under-level druid – whose name we have omitted to respect her family’s right to privacy – after meeting her at his weekly group grief counseling, which he has attended since the night his entire raid was wiped out by M’uru.

Mr. Gordo was not available for comment, having been polymorphed into a tiny white sheep while he awaits his trial – standard procedure in the Thunder Bluff community.

“It’s shocking,” said Lynnane Runetotem, a schoolteacher who has lived in Thunder Bluff since its founding. “He was such a normal orc. Good dad, respected businessman. I guess they say it’s the ones you least expect that end up being the sickos. He transmuted Arcanite for me every Wednesday!”

In a statement released this afternoon, tauren chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof had this to say: “I speak for all tauren when I say we are incredibly disappointed that this greenskin was able to commit such explicit savagery beneath our snouts for so long. I swear to the great Earthmother, I will not let this kind of thing happen again. We are not animals. Please, please, please do not cancel your vacation plans to Thunder Bluff.”

While Hardcasual was unable to learn the current whereabouts of the level 16 druid, Mr. Gordo can be found in a bamboo cage near the southwest elevator, where this reporter spotted him enjoying some delicious grass and playfully nuzzling at the bars.
