Bestiary & Troll Lore Updates

[Warlock]

Blizzard has once again updated their <A HREF="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/bestiary.html">Burning Crusade Bestiary</a>, this time with the Eredar. Not really anything we didn't know (or couldn't read on the Draenei page) but nice anyways.

They've also updated the Troll Lore section with <A HREF="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/troll/foresttrolls.html">info on Forest Trolls</a> including their History and the various tribes.

Be sure to check both of those out.

[Timolas]

Pity they didnt include many Troll tribe leaders.

[Yuber8900]

Wish they would have listed all kinds of Trolls, how annoying.

I think they are working on that (one species at a time)

[Creative]

Yes, and as Forest Trolls are the biggest one, I think that's why they took them first.

And therefore, I would guess next is Jungle Trolls.

[Tysar]

hopefully we'll get some cool info on Dark Trolls too...

[Smeedle]

This troll stuff is really cool but on the other hand we already knew a lot about the trolls. How about some more background lore about the gnomes, Blizzard?

[Timolas]

Hopefully they didnt forget they exist. :sweatdrop
Maybe they'll tell us whats up with their location.

[Creative]

Trolls HAVE the most backround story, therefore it is they that comes. I mean, gazillion Tribes, worship of Hakkar... I think they are just putting all info about that on the websites.

[Kerrah]

Maybe they'll tell us whats up with their location.
Maybe they have builded an underground civilization, and then a Portal Opens in the middle of their Capital and BL pour out and they quickly escape into an abandoned tunnel and mine it until they reach an unused cave under Stormwind and they build a city and emerge from the Canals of SW and they realise that their forms have been changed by the escaping and the darkness and now they are...

CENTAURS!!!!

No, centaurs are not an evil race, once they were good but they were corrupted by Teh Old Gods and the Trolls set apart becouse they didnt like Worshipping old gods ( :p ) and then the two races became seperate and nobody knew that they had once been the same and now they find themselves widely accepted by the alliance couse they know the Taurens hate Centaurs and they are the Sixth Alliance race!

While the Horde gets Undead Elves.

Nah, dark elves who were once actually Quilboar (its found out it wasnt the trolls whom the elves came from).

So, how did you like my Dranei Dublication?

[Smeedle]

Well, dark trolls are mentioned in the troll lore section so they didn't completely forget them. But somehow I doubt that we will get more info about them.

Somehow... I can see it happening o.o

I think we will get a little info about all Trolls, so I think we will get alittle info about Dark Trolls...

Seriously i think that Dark Trolls will have an instance of their own in wow some day.

[Ravenclaw2099]

I would have to agree w/ Kerrah on the instance thing. For some reason I get the sense the Dark Trolls are up to something badass, and are likely more insidious than any other tribe out there (kinda like a counter to the Zandalar).

And in terms of Desert Trolls what other possible tribes could exist besides the Sandfury? I have seen no trace of any other Desert tribe.

[Kerrah]

Maybe the recent Silithid uprisings have driven them out from their homelands.

If they are released as an instance they better not be worshiping some serpent god. Because frankly I think we have enough evil deity worshipping Troll instances out there (Zul'gurub, Zul'Aman)

You forgot Farrak.

It will however be MOTHAFUCKING LAME if every troll capital will be an instance!

[Vicious]

Forest Trolls are coolest out there, this was a very nic update.


Notice that even though pretty much all the tribes hate each others guts but they all revere Zul´Jin?
He really did something.

Sen'jin Village :) But thats a WoW size screw up :p

[Warlock]

And therefore, I would guess next is Jungle Trolls.

I *hope* the next is the Jungle Trolls. The main reason is people don't realize they have a pretty cool history. In particular, if you are ever doing quests in Stranglethorn you should really read those four Troll Legends (the tablets the guy at the Rebel Camp asks you to collect). They are pretty awesome. One talks about an ancient Troll city that was swept under the waves by a mighty Krakken (described as a servent of Neptulon). I think that one was the best. But they are all pretty cool.

The Gurubashi have a pretty neat history. I just hope when they are telling it they aren't superficial about it. By which I mean something like this:
-Gurubashi split off during Sundering
-Darkspears exiled
-Hakkar summoned
-The end

The problem is that there is a big tendency to focus on Hakkar since he is such a big part of their history, but they have a lot more that can be talked about as well. So I hope they at least don't make this yet another "The Story of Hakkar" :)

P.S. - can someone who has War 3:TFT handy look up the tribe of Forest Trolls in the campaign where Illidan has to rescue Tyrande from the Scourge? (last NE one I think) They specifically gave them a name and I'm curious if Blizzard accidentally forgot, or if they were the Mossflayers (it was Moss *something*).

Edit:
Nah, dark elves who were once actually Quilboar (its found out it wasnt the trolls whom the elves came from).

OMG Kerrah is really WootZoot in disguise!

[Timolas]

Warlock :)
They are "Shadowglen Trolls" led by Krag'Jin. It also says they're Dark Trolls!

EDIT: Nvm about Dark Trolls, was only looking through and misread "Dam Trolls". So theyre Forest Trolls. :)

[Creative]

Why the hell is they named the same as the Night Elves starting region?

[Yuber8900]

Gah, how annoying.

[Timolas]

Gah, how annoying.

Maybe Malfurion was inspired by his stay in Lordaeron and told Fandral aaaaall about it. Fandral in turn got turned on by the idea of Dam Trolls and decided to call part of his sexy new tree, Shadowglen.

[Kerrah]

Isnt there a character named Deathknell as well?

I once killed the guards there for an hour, not a single Horde came. Not even any new guys either.

[FreeLancer]

Morbent Fel in Warcraft III is one of the names for the Scourges Liches, as opposed to being the Necromancer of Duskwood in World of Warcraft.

Lol, i did the same man, killed the flight path guy and everything, not one guy came.

[Kerrah]

There isnt a flight path in Deathknell.

[Timolas]

I bet he's talkin about somewhere else.

Anyway; how the hell did you solo a flight master guy he gets all his angry pets xO

[Kerrah]

CHEATS! Lets report him!

Yeah, i was talking about Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest and i was with my paladin friend, he distracted the bats, i killed the guy and we then cleaned up the rest.
