Thunder Bluff rises above the plains on a sequence of broad mesas and functions as the political and religious center of Tauren society. The region supports farming and herding, complemented by horse and cattle-like domesticated animals.

Druidic and shamanistic traditions are prominent, and the people are generally portrayed as peaceful and hospitable towards travelers. The landscape of Mulgore reflects Tauren values of steadiness, community, and a strong connection to the land.
