Full History

Forest trolls pursue their ancient struggle against Quel’Thalas with orcish assistance. ” That account follows Zul'jin as its main perspective. A forest troll warlord sees the Horde as a means to avenge centuries of defeat. His hopes unravel when the Horde abandons Quel'Thalas. The forest kingdom is ravaged but Silvermoon resists conquest.

The Amani alliance with the Horde grew from Zul’jin’s immediate aim of striking Quel’Thalas. It did not revive the ancient Zandalari coalition against the aqir: the orcish Horde and the forest trolls had different objectives, and their partnership collapsed. The separation of these episodes helps readers understand the persistence of territorial conflict without inventing an unbroken troll imperial command structure.
