Zul' Aman (Capital of the Jungle Trolls)

Background

It takes place in the universe of World of Warcraft (Video Game)

History

Before the rise and fall of the kingdoms of men, the Amani trolls of Lordaeron built a vast troll empire. After centuries of war and hatred, the alliance of elves and humans finally dealt a fatal blow to the Amani when they defeated a great troll army at the foot of the Alterac Mountains. The empire never recovered from the defeat, and the trolls never founded a nation again. The forest trolls who survived nursed their hatred of the elves in the dark northern forests for thousands of years. During the Second War, the Amani trolls and the Revantusk trolls were allies of the Horde. The forest troll Warlord Thresh'jin was the greatest hero the trolls had ever known. After the destruction of the Amani Empire during the Troll Wars, most forest trolls settled in areas within a comfortable distance of Quel'Thalas. However, the Amani tribe mocked these precautions and displays of cowardice. Beset by the potent sorcery of the high elves, Zul'Aman was greatly reduced in size, but the Amani tribe remained entrenched on the easternmost fringe of the enchanted realm. When Arthas led the Scourge to Quel'Thalas during the Third War, the Amani tribe witnessed the ensuing slaughter with glee. Acting quickly, the trolls launched a series of attacks against high elf settlements in Eversong Woods. To the trolls' surprise, the few high elves who survived the invasion seemed greatly weakened and proved no stern opponent. The Amani reclaimed a significant portion of the forest before the elven Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider arrived in Quel'Thalas.

Forest Trolls

As their name suggests, these trolls can be found in forests, or at least in forests not dominated by elves or other humanoid species. Forest trolls hold other races in contempt, especially the high elves, whom they consider the despoilers of their ancient homeland. (The Forest troll civilization of Lordaeron predates that of the high elves by several thousand years.) They only work with others if it means eliminating a hated enemy. They allied themselves with the Horde during the Second War, thus abandoning the orcs after their defeat. The culture of the forest trolls is tribal and more primitive than their dark troll cousins. Although not as violent as the dark trolls, forest trolls have a terrible reputation in battle. They are known for their disregard for life in battle, and, as good warriors, they always fight for their people even if it means death.

Appearance

They are tall, slender, green-skinned, agile, and have large, boar-like lower tusks. Their cities have an Aztec-like architecture. They use axes and magic known as Voodoo and Loa, and some can transform into animals.

Warcraft
