The Darkspear Tribe (aka Darkspear clan) is a tribe of jungle trolls that are one of the primary races of the Horde (The Horde is one of the two major political factions of the mortal races in Azeroth, its counterpart being the Alliance.).
IntroductionDuring Thrall's exodus from Lordaeron, the Horde rescued the Darkspear tribe of jungle trolls from the mysterious Sea Witch. The Darkspear tribe owes Thrall and the orcs a great debt, and allied themselves with the Horde in gratitude. Their relationship with the noble orcs and tauren has begun to change the Darkspear trolls' savage natures. Darkspear trolls, however, deny their dark legacy. The Horde has taught them camaraderie, restraint and, to a lesser extent, kindness.WoWRPG 50
History As tribal rivalries erupted throughout the former Gurubashi Empire (The Gurubashi Empire was once one of the most powerful forces of Azeroth, controlling much of the southern part of the Eastern Continent.), the Darkspear Tribe found themselves driven from their homeland in Stranglethorn Vale ( Skullsplitter troll (1,500) Gurubashi troll (1,500) Darkspear troll (1,000) Goblin (2,000) Orc (600) Naga (400) Ogre MurlocSea Giants
The Stranglethorn Vale is a vast jungle south of Duskwood.). Having settled in what are believed today to be the Broken Isles, the tribe soon found themselves entangled in a conflict with a band of murlocs (The murloc is a bipedal, amphibious, ichthyoid (fish-like) race residing along coastlines, lakeshores and riverbeds.). Their fate seemed sealed until the orcish Warchief (Even the Horde has had its share of "false Warchiefs".) Thrall (Thrall, son of Durotan, is the Warchief of the restored shamanistic Horde, and ruler of the red land of Durotar in Kalimdor.) and his band of newly freed orcs took shelter on their island home. Controlled by a Sea Witch, a group of rampaging murlocs captured the Darkspears' leader Sen'jin (The spiritual leader of the Darkspear Tribe, Sen'jin was an enigmatic witch-doctor with a deep and profound link to the spirits and his eternally rain-swept island.), along with Thrall and several other orcs and trolls. Thrall managed to free himself and others, but was ultimately unable to save the trolls' leader. Although Sen'jin (The spiritual leader of the Darkspear Tribe, Sen'jin was an enigmatic witch-doctor with a deep and profound link to the spirits and his eternally rain-swept island.) was sacrificed to the Sea Witch, he was able to reveal a vision he had in which Thrall would lead the Darkspear from the island.
After returning to the island, Thrall and his followers managed to fend off further attacks by the Sea Witch and her murloc minions, and set sail for Kalimdor once again. Under the new leadership of Vol'jin (Vol'jin is a level ?? faction leader located in Grommash Hold in the Valley of Wisdom, in the orcish city of Orgrimmar.), the Darkspear swore allegiance to Thrall's Horde (The Horde is one of the two major political factions of the mortal races in Azeroth, its counterpart being the Alliance.) and followed him to Kalimdor. Now considered enemies by all other trolls except the Revantusk (This tribe of forest trolls has constructed a well fortified village on the coast of the Hinterlands.) and the Zandalari (The Zandalar trolls have come to Yojamba Isle in the effort to recruit help against the resurrected Blood God and his Atal'ai Priests in Zul'Gurub and in the Sunken Temple.), the Darkspear are held in contempt to this day. Yet, the Darkspear have not forgotten being driven from their ancestral homes and this animosity is eagerly returned, especially towards the other jungle trolls. Having reached the orc's new homeland, Durotar ( Troll (4,200) Tauren (3,150) Forsaken (1,680) Human (420)
Sen'jin Village (2,000)
Durotar, the land named after Thrall's father, Durotan,[1] lies on the eastern coast of Kalimdor.), the trolls carved out another home for themselves - this time among the Echo Isles (The Echo Isles are a handful of small islands off the southeastern Durotar coast.) on the eastern shores of the new orc kingdom.
However, with the coming of Kul Tiras ( Dwarf (1,000) High Elf (300) Goblin (200)
HistoryOver one thousand years ago, the city-state of Kul Tiras was founded upon a large island west of Khaz Modan and in between Stormwind and Lordaeron.) and its navy, the Darkspear were forced to retreat inland under the onslaught of the misguided commander Daelin Proudmoore (Admiral Daelin Proudmoore was the "Lord Admiral"W2Man 43DotD 4 and king of Kul TirasAPG 161ToD 72, 73.). The trolls, fighting alongside their Horde brethren, defeated the enemy and reclaimed their new homeland. Shortly thereafter, a witch doctor by the name of Zalazane (Zalazane is a level 10 Darkspear troll found in the Echo Isles, Durotar.) began using dark magic to take the minds of his fellow Darkspear. As his army of mindless followers grew, Vol'jin ordered the free trolls to evacuate, and Zalazane took control of the Echo Isles. The Darkspear have since settled on the nearby shore, naming their new village after their old leader, Sen'jin. From Sen'jin Village (After the Trolls of the Darkspear Tribe were forced to flee the Echo Isles, Vol'jin relocated his people to the southern coast of Durotar.) they, along with their allies, send forces to battle Zalazane and his enslaved army.[1]
