Background

The Village in the evening.

Blizzard's dropcap letter "t"he sun set over Kalimdor, a bruised and livid red on the horizon. Twilight shadows began to creep across the sands, the soft whispering of the waves against the beach muffling the crunch of footsteps as she walked towards the Village. Over her shoulder was a great catch of fish, enough to feed the village for a day. Bom'bay's laughter echoed through the trees, and the light of the bonfire cast dark shadows from the village, with such a beating and flaming heart at its core.

Dancing fillled the village as she approached. The warriors had returned.

She threw down the mess of fish upon a great stone anvil, and set to work cleaning them. Flesh for the fire, guts for the pot. The dancing continued, with booze being passed around. From the shadows at the edge of the circle, the witch doctors watched in silence for a moment more, then joined the celebration. The hunters had made a great kill today. Tonight there would be a feast.

She carried the wet fish guts over to the stew pot, and cast them in. They settled into the boiling gumbo, adding their slimy bulk to the feast to come. She sniffed deeply at the gumbo. Spices and meat. Thick, hearty chunks. Glancing about, she saw that the rest of the village had joined the dance. Drink flowed freely.

Carefully she reached down to the boiling gumbo, and hooked out a chunk of flesh for the tasting. Just a taste. Her tusks ground against the bone within. Tasty. Quickly she dropped the meat - with only four of its fingers remaining - back into the pot, and turned to join the dance.

Life by the campfire.

Blizzard's dropcap letter "t"he vicious Jungle Trolls, who populate the numerous jungle isles of the South Seas, are renowned for their cruelty and their dark mysticism. Barbarous and superstitious, the wily Trolls carry a seething hatred for all other races.

Led by the cunning Shadow Hunter, Vol'jin, the Darkspear Trolls now make their home in Durotar, 'though they have other villages scattered throughout Kalimdor. Their capital village, named after their fallen tribal elder Sen'jin, lies along the eastern coast of the harsh, rocky land, and their eyes are ever across the sea to where the broken Darkspear Isles lie in their jungle home...

As part of the Horde, the Trolls have extended their loyalty to the mighty Tauren, but they have little trust for the manipulative Forsaken and conniving Blood Elves, whom they believe will visit only misery and strife upon their allies.
