In the memories of netizens from another world, Azeroth is expanding bit by bit.
In the early version of the game, there were only two continents in Azeroth: Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.
Northrend, Kul Tiras, Zandalar, the Broken Isles, and Pandaria were all added little by little in later updated versions.
Some netizens joked that the world known to Sarlayan today may still be incomplete.
Kul Tiras, the Broken Isles, and Zandalar are all relatively close to the Eastern Kingdom, and there may be some hidden islands between Kalimdor and the Maelstrom.
Sarlayan himself was not sure about this.
There are no satellites in Azeroth's space orbit, as netizens from Earth have said, and it is impossible to accurately scan the entire planet's landscape.
It is said that Ulduar contains a real-time planetary map of Azeroth, but at least for now, Sharlayan has no way to view it.
To take a step back, even if it is possible to scan the surface of the planet, there is no 100% guarantee that Azeroth will only have so many areas.
You know, the underground world and the water below cannot be scanned. Nazjatar, where Azshara now rules, is located in a trench thousands of meters deep below the water.
The former Guardian of Tirisfal, Aegwynn, could cast a spell to sink the Tomb of Sargeras to the bottom of the sea. Who can guarantee that Azshara can't raise the entire Nazjatar from the bottom of the sea?
During the journey south to Pandaria, considering the historical conflict between the pandaren and the Zandalari trolls, Sarlayan specifically asked Shenzhenzi to circle around the outside of the maelstrom to avoid the location of the Zandalari Islands. .
The Zandalari Empire was once allied with the Mogu Empire that owned Pandaria, and the Pandaren were originally slaves of the Mogu. They rose up after the death of the Thunder God and worked with other races in Pandaria to get rid of the gradually weakening Mogu. Slavery.
After the pandaren came to power, the Zandalari trolls invaded Pandaria in an attempt to seize territory.
The newly established Order of Cloud Serpents by the Pandaren played an important role in this war to drive out the invaders.
In the end, the Zandalari, who were ambitious and wanted to expand their territory, were driven out of Pandaria by the united pandaren.
Until the invasion of the Burning Legion and the collapse of ancient Kalim, the Zandalari failed to invade that rich land again.
Before the War of the Ancients began, Shaohao, the last pandaren emperor, transformed into mist and completely enveloped Pandaria.
In the next ten thousand years, except for Liu Lang and other panda adventurers who used Shenzhenzi to travel to and from their hometown, no one could find any trace of Pandaria.
Ten thousand years have passed, and Zandalari has long since recovered from the suppression of the Dark Night Empire.
The only thing that worries them is the extremely aggressive blood trolls in the Nazmir Swamp south of Zuldazar.
A few years ago, Sarlayan went to the Zandalari Islands to cause trouble in order to rescue Inas.
Due to the changes caused by Sharlayan's actions, Zandalari launched a general attack on the blood trolls many years in advance.
After years of hard work, Zandalari paid a lot of losses, but finally took advantage of the blood trolls' weakness to deal a major blow to them.
It is unlikely that the blood trolls will recover for at least a generation.
With their worries eliminated, Zandalari can intervene in Azeroth's situation more frequently.
After a period of cultivation, King Rastakhan adjusted his external strategy and tried to unify the three wandering troll empires.
Unfortunately, Zandalar spent a lot of time fighting the blood trolls. When they turned their attention to the outside world again, the Amani Empire had fallen apart and was unable to recover.
The clan leader Amani only has two or three kittens left, living in the moss-rot troll's camp and unable to be used for much purpose.
After the decline of Amani, the most powerful clan among the forest trolls today is undoubtedly the Evil Branch clan, which occupies most of the Hinterlands.
After Thoras Trollbane, the meritorious king of the Kingdom of Stromgard, passed away, the newly elected Garin Trollbane was an out-and-out idiot. He only cared about having fun and drinking, and did not touch the state affairs at all. .
The deadwood trolls wandering in the Arathi Highlands saw the opportunity and quietly grew up, and after several years of secret development, they built up a considerable fortune.
The high elves and the forest trolls have a hatred that can never be reconciled.
Although the Amani clan has collapsed, other forest troll clans still exist.
The Backlight Blade's thieves focused on the Rotten Moss Clan, the Evil Branch Clan, and the Deadwood Clan.
The Evil Branch clan is restrained by the Wildhammer dwarves who are also in the Hinterlands, and the Rottenmoss clan is also overwhelmed by Lordaeron, which still retains the afterglow of the sunset.
While Thoras was still on the throne, Stromgard maintained good trade relations with Quel'Thalas.
After Garin came to power, Kael'thas, the new king of Quel'Thalas, noticed the rise of the witherwood trolls and sent letters to Garin Trollbane many times to remind him of the trolls' movements.
Unfortunately, straw bags are just straw bags after all.
Garin ostensibly thanked Kael'thas for informing him, but he took no actual action and continued to enjoy himself in Stromgarde.
Under the secret communication between the envoys sent by Zandalari, the deadwood trolls, who are neighbors of each other, have exchanged information with the Evil Branch clan in the past year, and seem to have the intention of forming an alliance.
This bad omen has aroused the alarm of Quel'Thalas, and Kael'thas is actively contacting the Wildhammer dwarves and Dalaran to deal with the matter.
At the same time, the Drakkari trolls in Northrend also connected with the Zandalar envoys.
When Sarlayan went to Wyrmrest Temple to seek help, he took the time to learn about the latest battle situation on the front line.
Unable to attack for a long time, the Drakkari trolls have slowed down their attack pace. Recently, they have been planning something secretly.
Sylvanas, the ranger supervisor who was sitting on the northern frontline, had a bad feeling that a storm was coming.
The Drakkari trolls still have a lot of strength left, and they shouldn't give in at this time.
There must be something fishy when something goes wrong. Recently, the Backlight Blade has stepped up its efforts to penetrate Zul'Drak, trying to find out what the Drakkari trolls are up to.
The Zandalari's influence is not omnipotent, and they suffered greatly from the Gurubashi Empire.
The three major clans, Skullsplitter, Bloodscalp and Gurubashi, who were able to fight against each other, ignored the mediation of the Zandalari envoys and caused a bloody storm in the northern part of Stranglethorn Vale.
After rescuing the Darkspear Trolls led by Sen'jin, Sarlayan used the Backlight Blade communication channel controlled by Valeera to establish contact with this group of atypical jungle trolls.
The Darkspear clan was still very weak and was not noticed by Zandalar at all.
Instead, Sen'jin knew all about the Zandalari emissaries' activities in Stranglethorn Vale.
Having received enlightenment education from the Zandalari clan in his early years, Sen'jin was very familiar with Zandalari's behavior. He could see through Zandalari's attempt to personally control the three troll empires at a glance.
If the Gurubashi Empire were led by a more visionary Sen'jin, he would not mind working with the Zandalari to increase the power of the jungle trolls.
It's a pity that the Senjin people today are so soft-spoken that they can't attract the attention of the Zandalari envoys at all.
Sen'jin did not overestimate his ability and take the initiative to contact the Zandalar envoys. Instead, he continued to focus on development and quietly won over the small jungle troll clans that were struggling to survive in the Cape of Stranglethorn Vale.
News came from Drakkari, Amani, Gurubashi, and even the tauren as far away as the southern seaport of Tanaris that the Sandfury Trolls seemed to be making some strange moves recently.
The Zandalari's activities span the entire Azeroth, and it is inevitable that Sharlayan will not be vigilant against them.
Fortunately, Zandalari has a "good neighbor" who is always watching over them.
With the Kul Tiran Admiralty's tight defense, the Zandalari's golden fleet cannot move around unscrupulously.
The angry King Rastakhan tried to break through the encirclement. The Zandalari gold fleet and the Kul Tiras navy had recently had many small-scale naval battles at sea, but they were still unable to break through the island chain blocked by Kul Tiras.
[Daelin: In a simple naval battle, Kul Tiras has never been afraid of anyone. 】
[One thing to say is, indeed, as long as the Zandalari do not dispatch Loa on a large scale, it is unlikely that they will win Kul Tiras at sea. 】
[It is useless to mobilize. There are not many Loari worshiped by Zandalari who are good at naval battles. 】
[Quel'Thalas has also been paying attention to the latest trends of Zandalar. Once they find signs of using Loa, with the relationship between Quel'Thalas and Kul Tiras, the Red Dragon Knight can be killed in a matter of minutes. Sent here to help. 】
[Zandalar: The blood troll has fallen! I'm free! 】
[Quel'Thalas: No, you didn't. 】
