Full History
The original-era Troll Compendium identifies a witch doctor, Zalazane, who stripped numerous Darkspear trolls of free will and amassed followers on the Echo Isles. ” That account follows Vol'jin; Zalazane as its main perspective. Zalazane seizes control of some tribe members; Vol’jin leads the remaining free Darkspear to the mainland. Sen’jin Village becomes the refuge; the Echo Isles conflict remains unresolved at the story cutoff. Vol’jin commands the remaining free Darkspears to leave the Echo Isles, and they establish Sen’jin Village on Durotar’s coast.
The original-era reading also carries this qualification: Do not apply later 2010 death, earlier Vol’jin childhood characterization or later Zalazane backstory.
The Darkspear struggle against Zalazane is an internal political crisis of a recently displaced people. Their ancestry belongs to the old jungle-troll world, but no source makes this conflict a delayed replay of the war against Kith’ix. Local spiritual authority, Vol’jin’s leadership, and the need to protect a new home are the material causes of the story.
