Editor's Statement: There are two [Cataclysms] in the history of the world of Azeroth, the first refers to the Elven Empire of Kadore, after the fall of Queen Aishara, the two brothers of Fury Wind and Tyrande blew up the Well of Eternity, which caused the ancient continent of Kalimdor to split into 4 pieces, also known as [Heaven and Earth Crack]. The second refers to the elemental invasion and the great changes in the continent's landscape caused by Deathwing's shattering of the World Pillar. In addition, the cataclysm that Deathwing did was really weak compared to the explosion of the Well of Eternity. The reason why I posted this popular science knowledge is because when I posted the first draft in the QQ group of the Warcraft Guild, I was sprayed with dog blood by those game dogs, saying that my brain was pumping, and the trolls were so tiger before the cataclysm (Deathwing version)? Hurry up and go heads-up, plant a flag 1000G or something, let's do it. This chapter focuses on the history of trolls and has nothing to do with the main story.

Probably 4,000 years before the first invasion of the Burning Legion, trolls had ruled over most of Kalimdor (referring to the continent of Ancient Camlido, which was more than seven times the size of Kamlidor in the current game), where there were two twin empires of trolls - the Gulabash Empire in the southeastern jungle and the Amani empire in the central forest.

In the far north were inhabited by smaller tribes (present-day Northrend) who founded a small state called Gudak, but by no means comparable to the size and prosperity of the Southern Empire.

The two empires did not like each other, but wars rarely broke out. At that time, their greatest common enemy was the third largest empire in Kalimdor at the time, the Azyaki Zerg Empire. Azyaki, an intelligent insectoid creature that rules the far west. These intelligent insect-like creatures are eager to expand their territory and are very evil, and they are dedicated to eliminating all non-Azyaki worm creatures from Kalimdor.

The trolls fought against it for thousands of years, and eventually, under the trolls' tenacious will, the Azyaki Zerg empire was dismembered, but the trolls did not achieve a real victory. This was because the exiled Azyaki had established two city-states of the Azyaki Empire in the south and north - Eldraine-Nirub in the northern wastelands and Angela in the southern desert. Although the trolls suspect that there are still the remaining Azyaki wormholes in Kalimdor, the fatigue of the millennial war has also made the trolls less interested in the Azyaki worms.

After the victory over the Azaki Zerg Empire, the two Troll Empires returned to a peaceful life. Although they were victorious, neither empire expanded their territory much on the original basis, and the population declined greatly due to the war. There are no winners in this thousand-year war involving two races and three empires

It is said that some of the trolls broke away from the rule of the Amani Empire and migrated to the central part of the continent of Gukamlidor at that time. There, these intrepid pioneers discovered the Well of Eternity, whose power transformed the trolls into a new species of powerful power------ Night Elves. But considering that it was the Night Elves who ended the troll empire's glory, this claim is debatable.

About 1,000 years after the end of the Worm War, the man of Camlido, a race that discovered the creation of the Titans, rose to prominence, and the first emperor of the Mogu tribe, Thor, overturned the mantis demon, the lizardmen, the pandaren, and other opponents within the Mogu, establishing the fourth empire in the history of Azeroth.

During the period, because the world is invincible, the trolls who have lost their enemies in addition to various primitive gods, but also inexplicably believe in the blood god (the translation of the original English word should be the soul snatcher, but it is not domineering enough, and I personally tend to the national service translation: blood god) Haka, in order to provide blood sacrifices, the two empires have friction with each other, and the dispute is gradually expanding, and the overall strength of Gulabash should be stronger than Amani.

When the Mogu Empire bordered the Gulabash Empire, the rulers of the Gulabash Empire, fearing that a two-front battle would lead to the defeat of the empire, signed an alliance treaty with Thor.

When the Night Elves rose, the Amani Empire faced the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and the empire's territory continued to shrink. During this period, the fourth emperor of the Mogu Empire was a tease comparable to King Zhou You, so the panda people launched an uprising, and the Mogu Empire was in danger, and the trolls led by the Zandalar tribe decided to fulfill the ancient covenant and go to the south to support the Mogu Empire. At that time, the Mogu Empire had fallen into the quagmire of warlord scuffle, which was a model for pig teammates, and as a result, the Mogu and the trolls were beaten by the fat pandas, and the main force of the trolls' expedition suffered heavy losses.

At this time, the Night Elves took the opportunity to launch an all-out offensive against the trolls. The rising Night Elves have gained the power of magic thanks to the Well of Eternity. Using magic that the trolls who believed in voodoo and the blood god Haka never imagined, the Night Elves did what the Zergs failed to do: upend two of the world's most powerful empires.

The Night Elves systematically destroyed the trolls' defenses and supply chains. Unable to resist the devastating magic of the Night Elves, the trolls surrendered under the onslaught of the Kadore Empire. The Night Elves were not guardians of nature and balance, and they were just as resourceful and murderous as the savage trolls. The Gulabash Empire and the Amani Empire, which had existed for thousands of years, collapsed in just a few years.

Both troll civilizations declined after the destruction of their primordial realms, although there is no evidence of the Burning Legion attacking the trolls. But in that cataclysm, trolls were not spared. The indomitable trolls have rebuilt their cities in what is now Quel'Thalas and the Valley of Thorns, and set out to regain their former strength. But until the second invasion of the Burning Legion, the trolls remained marginal across the continent.

Today's trolls have long since lost their former civilization, and are roughly divided into four varieties: Sand Trolls (mainly represented by Zulfarak of Tanaris), Forest Trolls (Hinterland, Zuaman's gang), Jungle Trolls (mainly Zulgrab), and Frost Trolls (Zuldak's group of Digimon-playing guys and Ironforge's newbie village are a little bit more funny, and the difference in combat power of the Frost Trolls is too great)

There is one tribe that must be brought up again, and that is the Zandalar tribe.

The people of Zandalar preserve the history of the troll race, which is first known to belong to the Zandalar tribe from ancient texts, which is the point of origin for all other troll races. Since the collapse of the Troll Empire, the Zandalar clan has been working towards the goal of troll unification.

The cataclysm turned the place where the Zandalar tribe was located into an island, which is now Zandalar Island, and the Gulabash Empire established by their separated people (not the one that just faced the Zermen back then, but the one in the Valley of Thorns).

At first, the Zandala tribe was still happy about the revival of Gulabash, but when the Gulabash Empire began to expand dramatically, Zandala's joy turned to unease. Through an in-depth study of historical documents and ancient myths, they were shocked to find the answers.

The name of the blood god Haka is not for nothing. He immersed his followers in the emotions of their dark side and subjected them to a state of extreme danger and rage. As he devours the blood shed in his name, Haka's power grows stronger, and Haka's connection to the real world grows stronger.

At that time, Haka's incessant demands for sacrifices had caused internal turmoil in the Gulabash Empire. After hearing the news brought by the Zandalar tribe, the jungle troll tribes joined forces with the Zandalar tribe to openly fight the bloodthirsty blood gods.

Eventually, Haka's avatar was destroyed, and Haka's priests, Atalai and Hakkale, were hunted down to extinction. The survivors of the two tribes fled into the Swamp of Sorrow and established the Temple of Atahaka there in preparation for summoning Haka's main form into Azeroth, at which point the Blood God would destroy the entire world (there is some discrepancy in the official novel as to whether Haka is Sargeras's subordinate, but I personally think it is not, because the style does not match). Haka is obviously weaker than Sargeras, and it is estimated that not to mention Akmund, Kilgadan can beat Haka itself. But for Azeroth, Haka is still at the Destroyer level).

The guardian dragon Ysera intervenes, and Haka's resurrection plan fails.

But the remnants of Attalai and Hakalai are still planning the next resurrection of the Blood God.
