Sadly, a dark day came. A group of thugs and wizards raided their home, destroying their crops and claiming their machines as their own. Harrik's parents tried to stop them, but they were slaughtered by blade and fire. Harrik ran as fast as he could, causing rain all around to turn the ground to mud so the thugs could not follow. He ran until meeting a traveller, who in turn took him to Stormwind. These days, he can be found either guarding Goldshire and Stormwind from attack, or trying to take back Westfall and avenge his parents from the Defias thugs.
