History

Deep within the numerous islands of South Seas dwell the dark and superstitious beings known as Jungle Trolls. Though not much is known about the history of the Trolls; we do know that in ages past, a Troll tribe known as the Darkspear lorded over the lands of Stranglethorn Vale. Their kingdom has long since fallen, and like many of the races of Azeroth, they desire to reclaim that lost glory.

Though the Trolls have a hatred for all beings, the Darkspear tribe was forced to overcome these prejudices when they encountered Thrall and his Mighty Horde. The Darkspear tribe was in the process of being wiped out by the aquatic beings known as Murlocs, when Thrall and his soldiers came to the rescue. In return for this deed the Darkspear tribe swore an oath of eternal allegiance to the Horde.

Characteristics 

Trolls in general, are tall and muscular, with large tusks jutting from their mouths. Their skin can range from a light sky blue, to a dark, almost purple, blue. Their manes come in a variety of colors, ranging from green to purple. Trolls are suited more for quick and dirty combat unlike their Orc and Tauren brothers.

Lifestyle

The Trolls live in a tribal society, led by the cunning Shadow Hunter, Vol’jin. In general, the Troll thirst for war and proficiency in battle has often led them to be mercenaries to the highest bidder. Currently the Darkspear tribe owes allegiance to the Horde, and they are not ones to break their bond. Their society is based on superstitious beliefs, and black magic. The Darkspear Trolls makes their home in Durotar along with their Orcish allies in the village of Sen’jin, which is named after their fallen tribal elder and rests on the harsh rocky eastern coast. The Darkspear tribe also calls home to the nearby lush jungles of the Echo Isles.

Technology

Unlike the Humans and Dwarfs who rely on technology, the Trolls are wilderness survivors, and given the most rudimentary of supplies they can fashion base camps. Though they may live in “crude” quarters, their smiths are able to fashion the deadliest of weapons.

The Art of War

The Trolls, like the Orcs, favor a much more offensive stance in combat than the other races. When facing a Troll you will merely see a torrent of voodoo magic or spears thrown your way. The Trolls are indeed peerless when it comes to ferocity.
