The '''Gurubashi Empire''' was once one of the most powerful forces of [[Azeroth]], controlling much of the southern part of the [[Eastern Kingdoms|eastern continents]]. Their former capital of [[Zul'Gurub]] is located in Stranglethorn Vale. Eventually, this great nation{{cite|LoM|59}} splintered into separate [[tribe]]s.

My WoW account expired on February 12, 2007. My main character is a human mage named [http://www.warcraftrealms.com/char/1137980 Skyfire] on [[Server:Shadowmoon US|Shadowmoon]]. I did not know about [[wikipedia:Jetfire|Skyfire]], [[wikipedia:Skyfire|Skyfire]], [[wikipedia:Skyfire (Canberra)|Skyfire]], or any of the various [[jewel]]s which include the word Skyfire (which came after my name did, tyvm).

About 16,000 years ago (long before the [[Highborne]] called down the wrath of the [[Burning Legion]]), Trolls lorded over much of [[Kalimdor]] (then a single continent). There were twin troll empires — the Gurubashi of the southeastern jungles and the [[Amani Empire|Amani]] of the middle forestlands.

There were smaller tribes that lived far to the north (in the region now known as [[Northrend]]). These tribes founded a small nation known as Gundrak, but never achieved the size or prosperity of the southern empires.

The Gurubashi and Amani empires had little love for one another, but rarely warred against each other. At the time, their greatest common enemy was a third empire - the civilization of Azj'Aqir. The [[Aqir]] were intelligent insectoids who ruled the lands of the far west. These clever insectoids were greatly expansionistic and incredibly evil. The Aqir were obsessed with eradicating all non-insect life from the fields of Kalimdor.

The trolls fought them for many thousands of years, but never succeeded in winning a true victory over the Aqir. Eventually, due to the troll's persistence, the Aqiri kingdom split in half as its citizens fled to separate colonies in the far northern and southern regions of the continent.

Over a thousand years ago the powerful Gurubashi Empire was torn apart by a massive civil war. An influential group of troll priests, known as the Atal'ai, called forth the avatar of an ancient and terrible blood god named [[Hakkar the Soulflayer]]. Though the priests were defeated and ultimately exiled, the great troll empire collapsed upon itself. The exiled priests fled far to the north, into the Swamp of Sorrows, where they erected a great temple to Hakkar in order to prepare for his arrival into the physical world.

In time, the Atal'ai priests discovered that Hakkar's physical form could only be summoned within the ancient capital of the Gurubashi Empire, Zul'Gurub. Unfortunately, the priests have met with recent success in their quest to call forth Hakkar -- reports confirm the presence of the dreaded Soulflayer in the heart of the Gurubashi ruins.

It is told in [[The Fall of Gurubashi]], that the last chief (or emperor) of Gurubashi was one [[Var'gazul]]. From his capital he prepared plans of war, an invasion on unknown enemy. However his plans were thwarted by appearance of [[Neptulon]] and his [[Krakken]], who destroyed all of the land west of [[Zul'Gurub]] and sunk the city (or region) of [[I'lalai]].
