Full History

Vol’jin commands the remaining free Darkspears to leave the Echo Isles, and they establish Sen’jin Village on Durotar’s coast. ” 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. 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.

The original-era reading also carries this qualification: The original 1.1 starting world retains this conflict unresolved; never presume Zalazane defeated.

Vol’jin’s withdrawal to Sen’jin Village should be understood as a practical survival decision after the Echo Isles became unsafe. The ancient Gurubashi connection is a distant heritage, not a statement that Zandalar ordered the evacuation. The original-era world preserves this uncertainty and conflict as part of the player’s starting environment.
