From Quel'Danas in the North Sea to the Cape of Stranglethorn in Booty Bay, an Iron Curtain has descended across the Eastern Kingdom. Behind this line lay the capitals of the Amani and Gurubashi. Zul'Aman, Zinzaror, Zul'Gurub—all of these weather-beaten cities and their inhabitants were within the Zandalari sphere of influence and had not only succumbed to Zandalari influence in one form or another. Influenced by Zuldazar's increasingly high-handed control. Only Zul'Farrak exudes the glory of its democracy, freely deciding its future in the eyes of every citizen of the night elves, humans, and goblins.
If Carlos were asked to write an anti-Zandalari speech, he would write it like this.
Because Zandalar at this time has not yet unveiled his mysterious veil. Even the night elves have forgotten their most terrifying enemy over the years.
The ancient trolls had only two empires, one was the Amani Empire and the other was the Gurubashi Empire. The Zandalari clan was never an empire.
The original meaning of the word Zandalar is the preserver of knowledge.
Before the cataclysm that shattered the earth, or even further back, before the night elves found the Well of Eternity, the main theme of the ancient continent of Azeroth was the long war between the trolls and the aqir.
The two troll empires of Amani and Gurubashi divided the troll empires into two parts due to geographical barriers. One part belonged to the trolls north of the Zandalari Mountains, the Amani trolls; the other part belonged to the Zandalari. The trolls south of the mountains, the Gurubashi trolls.
As for the Zandalari clan, because Zuldazar, the city where they live, is the only gap in the Zandalari Mountains that stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, it has naturally become the center of communication between the two troll civilizations, the Amani and the Gurubashi.
Therefore, Zandalari naturally became the record and inheritor of troll civilization - the priest clan.
Don't be fooled by the night elves' boasts. Although magic is awesome, it's not that awesome.
The reason is very simple. Even with the help of the bronze dragon, the night elves were not able to completely win the battle of quicksand.
You know, the Ahn'Qiraj were only an insignificant branch of the Yaqir back then, and the Amani Empire and the Gurubashi Empire were fighting among themselves while rubbing the Yaqir on the ground.
It was only after the defeat of the Aqir that the many evil consequences brought about by the worship of the Blood God corroded the foundations of the two empires, and the night elf Kaldorei Empire rose.
You must know that when the troll empire fell, the night elves killed more trolls than the two empires used for blood sacrifices.
The culprit who destroyed the Troll Empire was Hakkar, the spiritual corruption of the Soul Reavers for tens of thousands of years. The night elves were just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Unfortunately, this piece of history has become a legend with the explosion of the Well of Eternity.
Except for the surviving Zandalari clan, the other trolls have forgotten their former glory.
When the Cataclysm occurred, the ancient continent of Kalimdor was torn apart, and the area where the Zandalari clan lived was thrown into the endless sea. The Zandalari Mountains, which used to be continuous, became a group of islands in the vast ocean.
The Zandalari clan, which had lost contact with other clansmen, split the conquests between the night elves and the emerging Kaldorei Empire, but also fell on the verge of civil strife.
Just like I mentioned before, don't believe the night elves' boasting, let alone the Zandalari trolls' self-promotion.
What kind of successor to the imperial civilization is nonsense.
After discovering that they had lost contact with the Amani and Gurubashi, the Zandalari clan, which had elected overseas, naturally split. The four largest clans have been fighting against each other for thousands of years to compete for dominance. No one can do anything about it. After completely conquering the other three families, they finally had no choice but to form a coalition to govern.
Despite constant internal friction, the Zandalari trolls have survived thousands of years.
It was only in the past few hundred years, when their overseas territories were exhausted, that the Zandalari trolls remembered their former relatives.
As a result, I rowed a small boat and searched all over the world...
Huh? !
You say I am a priestly clan, a civilized troll who talks but does not take action, how come I have become a beacon of hope?
Stung by the plight of their poor relatives, the Zandalar clan began to vigorously support other trolls scattered across the land.
It is a pity that Zul'Aman, the successor of the Amani Empire, was defeated in one fell swoop by the coalition of high elves and humans. After six hundred years of repeated purges, Adou was no longer able to support him; the shadow of the ascendant blood god Zul'Gurub in Stranglethorn Vale has always shrouded On the heads of the Gurubashi successors; Zul'Farrak, the desert troll city south of Thousand Needles, directly killed the Zandalari messenger. These real descendants of the Gurubashi trolls have not forgotten for thousands of years. The sins of Zandalar before.
At this time, the Zandalar clan really wanted to help their compatriots, but they were both used and rejected by their compatriots.
Until they discovered the existence of Sinsaro.
To be more precise, it was the existence of the Evil Moss Clan's conquest of the Sinsaro Evil Branch Clan on behalf of the Human Alliance.
Cause and effect cycle and natural retribution.
It was Carlos's crusade against the Hinterlands that purged a large number of superior trolls who believed in the LOA god. As a result, in a short period of more than ten years, the Hinterlands trolls, who had suspended their blood sacrifices, actually restored their population to even greater numbers than before.
Sure enough, trolls are more professional when it comes to killing trolls.
It was precisely because of the incompleteness of the ruling class that Zandalari saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to integrate the Evilmoss, Evil Branch, and Deadwood clans.
Therefore, Zandalari sent an expedition team thousands of miles away to help Luther King, the leader of the Badmoss Trolls, complete the troll unification of the Northern Kingdom of the Eastern Kingdom.
The right time, the right place, and the right people are all on the side of the trolls this time.
First of all, it was Terenas's dog-eat-dog strategy that gave Luther King the opportunity to gather strength openly.
Secondly. The Hinterlands are surrounded by high mountains to the north and south, with the sea to the east. Only the winding mountain trails to the west connect it to the Hillbrade Hills.
Finally, because of Zandalar's endorsement, both Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub came to the aid of Luther King, not to mention that Zandalar also brought a large number of Moss Trolls. Spellcasters in urgent need.
With the right time, right place, and right people, as long as he completes the gathering of forces, Luther King can turn his guns, sweep the Eagle's Nest Mountain, and block the Hinterland Pass before the Human Alliance can react, and then the whole game of chess will be successful.
With the support of the entire Hinterlands, Zul'Aman in the north will have an easier time, and the trolls' revival has taken a crucial step.
A very realistic and feasible plan.
In the Hinterlands, a storm is gathering. The Alliance of Lordaeron is about to suffer an unexpected blow. Luther King and Zandalari are thinking about the future.
And Carlos is planning how to get rid of these more than a thousand Zandalari trolls.
I can kick my dog, but you can't touch it.
Luther King calculated a lot, but the only thing he failed to calculate was that his master was back.
