Full History
Thrall met Sen'jin's Darkspear trolls while his Horde was traveling toward Kalimdor. Stranded for repairs after a difficult crossing, the orcs found a people facing attacks from human forces and other dangers. Cooperation against those threats began a relationship that would eventually carry the Darkspear into the new Horde.
The Darkspear were not Amani forest trolls; they belonged to a different branch with its own island home and leaders. Their immediate concern was the survival of Sen'jin's people against enemies that threatened their settlements. Thrall, meanwhile, needed to keep his followers alive and moving toward the western continent foretold by Medivh. Working together offered practical help before either people could know the full consequences of the encounter.
The crisis on the islands deepened when Sen'jin was captured in a struggle involving hostile murlocs. The Darkspear survivors would leave with the orcs and seek a new home under Vol'jin. Their entry into the Horde grew out of an episode of shared danger and loss, not merely the invitation of an established empire.
