No matter what doubts he harbored, Saurfang was an honorable soldier.
He prevented both a civil war within the Horde and the potential destruction of the Alliance. He brought an end to Sylvanas's reign and saved many lives at the cost of his own.
We will withdraw our forces from Durotar. Our purpose was to defeat Sylvanas. Though she yet lives, she no longer leads the Horde. Hopefully, we can now unite against N'Zoth.
King Anduin has asked for us to join him in honoring Saurfang.
Thrall says: He led the charge against the Lich King. He defended our world from the Legion.
Thrall says: Saurfang inspired all of us to strive for true honor. And his legacy will live on in our deeds.
Anduin Wrynn says: When the Alliance and Horde marched on Ahn'Qiraj, it was Saurfang who valiantly commanded our combined forces.
Anduin Wrynn says: Today, his courage saved thousands of lives... on both sides of the battle.
Anduin Wrynn says: His sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Thrall rests a hand on the slab.
Thrall says: You have earned your warrior's death, old friend.
Thrall says: Now, greet your son... with honor and glory.
Thrall salutes Saurfang, and Zekhan blows a war horn as the assembled Horde all kneel. Anduin, Shaw, and Valeera all depart through a portal opened by Jaina to Boralus.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: This is how war always ends for us... with blood on our hands, mourning those we lost. No amount of fighting can ever bring them back.
No matter what anyone says, he was an honorable orc. A legend in his own right, the ideal to which all warriors of the Horde aspired.
He gave his life to heal the rift in the Horde and give us the chance to forge a new path forward. His was more than a death befitting a warrior. It was the death of a hero.

Years ago, I spoke at Orgrim's funeral after he died liberating our people. Today, I did the same for Saurfang.
We don't get to hide. That was the last lesson he ever taught me. But I have been away from Orgrimmar for a long time, and much has changed since I last walked upon its walls.
I don't know how best to serve the Horde. But I will fight for it to the bitter end.
My people are new to the Horde, and there have been times in this war when I wondered if joining it was a mistake.
But then I would think of Saurfang, and what he represented, of the Horde he fought for. That is the Horde my people joined. That is the Horde we must strive to be.
I can think of no better way to honor his memory than by continuing that journey.
Saurfang... were it not for his courage, I would have died at the hands of Sylvanas. It is a debt I can never repay, except by honoring his memory and carrying his legacy forward.
The Horde cannot remain divided. We must reflect on all that we have endured and choose our next course of action with strength and wisdom... united as one.
Sylvanas was a strong warchief. But she was not the Horde's warchief. Everything she did was for herself. Saurfang sacrificed everything he had for the Horde.
Strength and honor. A true warchief must have both.
Never had a good feelin' about dis war, mon. I been followin' orders, tryin' ta make da best of a bad situation. But I always thought dat Sylvanas be havin' da Horde's best interests at heart.
I was wrong. Shoulda trusted me instincts. Shoulda done more for Saurfang.
Too late for dat now. Loa guide us, <name>. We gonna need it.
A part of me will always wonder if this would have happened had I acted sooner. If I had confronted Sylvanas in the early days of the war. If Teldrassil hadn't burned.
It is not an easy thing to watch a dear friend tread a dark path, to recognize when they have gone astray. I thought I knew her, and Saurfang has paid the price for my error in judgment.
I have tasked the Farstriders with tracking down both Sylvanas and Nathanos... though I am unsure we can find them at all. They were Farstriders themselves, once.
But I cannot simply stand idle while they are out there. Not anymore.
