Recent History of the Jungle Trolls

Excerpt from "An Encyclopedia of the Troll Races", by Shell_Kracker of Boomshaka Tribe

To outsiders, the Trolls of Azeroth are the most enigmatic and fearsome of species, they are the very fabric of legends and terrifying stories, a threat to many, and a mystery to all. They have been the focus of racial war with the Humans, Dwarves and Elves of Azeroth since the beggining of memory. Indeed for the people of the Alliance, Trolls are the definition of monster - before Orcs invaded Azeroth, and before the Burning Legion was even known of, Trolls were the arch-enemies of the races of the Alliance, the traditional ancestral foe - at the same time the most familiar, and the most unknown. But for those who know the history of Azeroth, and who have visited the massive walls of old Troll cities - megalithic and antidiluvian in their antiquity - Trolls are more than the secretive stuff of fable who cover all four corners of the planet - they are an ancient race beyond comparison, with society and religion so old that humans were but cave-dwellers when the golden age of the Troll Empires was coming to an end. Wherever on Azeroth one travels, there is always Trolls - divided into five races, who broke away from each other in the detphs of history - Trolls are the most diverse and widespread of all civilisations.
