| + | '''King Rastakhan''' is king of all [[troll]]s on [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. He is an ancient and formidable [[witch doctor]] and keeper of troll lore. He is ancient and hoary, but his wire-hard muscles speak to his strength. A string of shrunken heads hangs from his neck, and a [[humanoid]] skull is impaled on his spear. He rules from [[Zuldazar]] on the island of [[Zandalar]]. While he technically is the king of all trolls throughout the world, it is not an entirely accurate description. This is because trolls often have trouble working with each other, despite conferences on Zandalar.<ref name="LoM">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 80-82</ref> King Rastakhan is strong, wise, insightful, cunning and visionary. He is a big part of the reason that Zandalar’s influence is again felt in the world, as he is instrumental in organizing the 6-year troll conferences and in sending representatives to work against [[Hakkar the Soulflayer|Hakkar]]. Most other trolls respect him as a powerful and wise leader. Numerous loyal priests and witch doctors assist Rastakhan, and he shows his wisdom in which advice he heeds and which he ignores.

| − | '''Brackenwall Village''', named for its proximity to the [[Brackenwall]], is a small [[Horde]]-affiliated outpost in northwest [[Dustwallow Marsh]]. It is run and populated mainly by [[ogres]], and its population is approximately a hundred denizens including the wind rider [[wyverns]]. |
||
| + | Rastakhan, as king of all Azeroth's trolls, rarely enters combat when not accompanied by a host of [[barbarian]]s, [[warrior]]s, [[shaman]]s, [[witch doctor]]s and other support.

If he has time to prepare before battle, he doles out [[potion]]s and alchemical concoctions to his [[elite]]: brews to increase their defenses and combat efficiency.<ref name="LoM" /> |
||
| − | Brackenwall is the oldest Horde presence in Dustwallow Marsh. It is also the home of the [[Stonemaul]] ogres, who had maintained a village of their own but were driven out by agents of the [[black dragonflight]]. The Stonemaul ogres have remained allied with the Horde since the [[Third War]], when the half-ogre [[Rexxar]] defeated their leader in combat and took command of the tribe. [[Daelin Proudmoore]]’s loyalists harass Brackenwall, but [[Jaina Proudmoore]] keeps her own troops reined in. Most of the Horde members here try to trade with [[Theramore]] peacefully, but there are a few that organize groups to attack travelers.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg 38</ref> |

||
| − | Brackenwall is unique in that it is the only Horde town that isn't of the traditional Horde races. The village was built by the [[Stonemaul]] [[ogres]] after their original village was ruined by the black dragons to the south. The Stonemaul have been allies of the Horde ever since [[Rexxar]] bested their brutal chieftain, [[Kor'gall]], and assumed the title for his own. After the Stonemauls aided in the battle against Admiral Proudmoore's naval fleets, Rexxar handed over leadership of the clan to [[Mok'Morokk]]. |

| Gender | Male |

King Rastakhan is king of all trolls on Azeroth. He is an ancient and formidable witch doctor and keeper of troll lore. He is ancient and hoary, but his wire-hard muscles speak to his strength. A string of shrunken heads hangs from his neck, and a humanoid skull is impaled on his spear. He rules from Zuldazar on the island of Zandalar. While he technically is the king of all trolls throughout the world, it is not an entirely accurate description. This is because trolls often have trouble working with each other, despite conferences on Zandalar.[1] King Rastakhan is strong, wise, insightful, cunning and visionary. He is a big part of the reason that Zandalar’s influence is again felt in the world, as he is instrumental in organizing the 6-year troll conferences and in sending representatives to work against Hakkar. Most other trolls respect him as a powerful and wise leader. Numerous loyal priests and witch doctors assist Rastakhan, and he shows his wisdom in which advice he heeds and which he ignores. Rastakhan is a patient but decisive ruler.[2]
Rastakhan, as king of all Azeroth's trolls, rarely enters combat when not accompanied by a host of barbarians, warriors, shamans, witch doctors and other support. He prefers to remain out of melee, decimating his foes from a distance with his spells. If he has time to prepare before battle, he doles out potions and alchemical concoctions to his elite: brews to increase their defenses and combat efficiency.[1]
While he is the leader of the Zandalar trolls, it appears he is only a jungle troll.[1][2]
Appearence in WoW
He is mentioned indirectly in the titles of a few Zandalar trolls:
- Exzhal <Servitor of Rastakhan>
- Ghaliri <Emissary of Rastakhan>
- Molthor <Hand of Rastakhan>
- Servant of the Hand <Hand of Rastakhan>
- Surkhan <Emissary of Rastakhan>

The Zandalari delegation leader in patch 4.1.0
Standing to Vol'jin's speech outside of Zul'Aman, he would most likely be the leader of the Zandalari delegation that appears at the meeting of the troll tribes in Patch 4.1.0 trailer.
Trivia
His name is likely based on the words Rasta, referencing the Jamaican aspect of Warcraft troll culture, and khan, a Mongolian word for king.
