== Objectives ==

Long before the rise and fall of the kingdoms of men, the [[Amani Empire|Amani]] [[troll]]s of [[Lordaeron]] had built an enormous troll empire. After centuries of war and hate, an alliance of [[elf|elves]] and [[humans]] finally dealt a crushing blow to the Amani when they defeated a great troll army at the foot of the [[Alterac Mountains]]. The empire did not recover from the defeat, and the trolls never rose as one nation again. Yet some '''forest trolls''' survived, each generation nurturing their hatred of the elves in the dark forests of the north for thousands of years. During the [[Second War]], the Amani trolls were briefly allied to the [[Horde]], and the forest troll [[Zul'jin]] was one of the greatest heroes the trolls have ever known.

== Description ==

We need to place pressure on the assault camp at Sethria's Roost. Ragnaros' minions are using this area as a point to push their battlefront beyond the bounds of Hyjal. I'm putting you in charge of a small squad to deal with them.

As their name suggests, these trolls are found in forests — at least, forests not dominated by elves or other humanoid species. Some forest trolls are jealous of their jungle and ice kin, as these forest trolls have never known the glories of their own kingdom. Forest trolls hold all other races in contempt — especially high elves, whom they consider the despoilers of their ancient homeland. (The civilization of the forest trolls of Lordaeron predates that of the high elves by several thousand years.) They will only work with others if it means the elimination of an even more hated enemy. They allied with the Horde during the Second War in this manner, abandoning the orcs after their defeat.

I have selected an elite group of fighters to assist you. Travel to Sethria's Roost. Your compatriots have been instructed to meet you once you arrive. Then put an end to the elementals' assault.

Forest troll culture is tribal and as primitive as their dark troll cousins. Though not as violent as dark trolls, forest trolls nonetheless have a fearsome reputation in battle.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{ref book |author=Borgstrom, Rebecca |coauthors=Eric Brennan, Genevieve Cogman, and Michael Goodwin |title=[[Manual of Monsters]] |isbn=978-1588-4607-07 |pages=100}}</ref>

===In the depths of time===
  
−
Forest trolls are native to northern Lordaeron. In the time before the rise of the night elves, the trolls ruled the vast Amani Empire. Together with the jungle troll's [[Gurubashi Empire]] they fought the [[aqir]], eventually disrupting the insectoid empire into two nations. It is rumoured that exiles from the Amani Empire journeyed to the [[Well of Eternity]] and were transformed into the first night elves, though this has never been proven.
  
   
  +
== Progress ==
−
With the arising of the night elves the [[Amani Empire]] was all but dismantled with the primitive magics the [[Kaldorei]] wielded. With the arrival of the [[Burning Legion]] the forest trolls retreated into the wilderness and took no direct part in the conflict.

===The rebuilding and the Troll Wars===
  
  +
...
−
In the aftermath of Kalimdor's shattering, the forest trolls began to once again expand their lands across the newly formed [[Lordaeron]], naming their new territory [[Zul'Aman]]. However the arrival of the [[high elves]] lead to a burning rivalry that would last millennia. The high elves founded their new Kingdom on an ancient troll city that was sacred. This led to the forest trolls attacking the fledgling elven kingdom for the desecration of their city. The stubborn elves, by using magic, drove the trolls back and for a time no conflict arose between the elves and trolls.
 
   
  +
== Notes ==
−
After two thousand years had passed the Amani warbands struck out of [[Zul'Aman]] determined to destroy the high elves once and for all. They scored victory after victory against the elves, pushing them slowly back. The desperate elves forged an alliance with the human empire of [[Arathor]], teaching a hundred humans the way of magic. The combined human and elf armies met the trolls at the base of the Alterac Mountains. For days the trolls assaulted the allies' lines until at the right moment, when the human and elven [[mage|magi]] unleashed a fury of fiery magic onto the forest troll army. The searing flames stopped the troll's wounds from regenerating and then the human knights charged, slaughtering most of the troll army and driving them back into [[Zul'Aman]]. The trolls suffered a defeat from which they would never recover.

At the time of the [[First War]] [[orc]]ish warchief [[Blackhand]] sent [[Orgrim Doomhammer]] to invite the forest trolls to join the horde. The trolls declined, having little interest in anything beyond their own forests. However at the beginning of the [[Second War]] orc forces rescued the trolls leader, [[Zul'jin]], from Alliance soldiers and in gratitude Zul'jin pledged the forest trolls to the now warchief Doomhammer. Zul'jin had done what no other forest troll had done since the [[Troll Wars]]: he united the numerous tribes of [[Zul'Aman]] under one banner and joined the [[History of the Horde|Horde]]. He hoped that by joining the orcish invaders they could attempt to retake Quel'Thalas from the elves.

== Patches and hotfixes ==

The forest trolls contributed their axe throwers, berserkers, and destroyer ships to the forces of the Horde fighting with the Orcs throughout the Hinterlands and Quel'thalas, slaughtered thousands of humans and elves and rased to the ground all villages they found in their way. Ogrim Doomhammer and Zul'jin attacked the elf homeland and made it to Eversong Woods until Alliance reinforcments could arrive. Doomhammer however focused his strenght on Lordaeron and did not destroy Quel'Thalas as Zul'jin wanted. When defeat for the orcs seemed inevitable, the trolls abandoned the Horde as suddenly as they joined.<ref>''[[Tides of Darkness]]'', Chapter 4</ref>

In the aftermath of the [[Second War]], the forest trolls returned to the old ways of rivalry and fighting between the tribes. Two tribes, the [[Smolderthorn]] and [[Firetree]] joined [[Rend Blackhand]]'s [[Dark Horde]] and have taken up residence in [[Blackrock Mountain]]. During the [[Third War]] the forest trolls stayed away from the main conflict however a fair percentage of forest trolls fell to the [[Lich King]]'s powers. They have lost their will and are [[undead]]. The recent fall of [[Quel'Thalas]] and [[Lordaeron]] led to a unique opportunity to once again attempt to reclaim their ancestral lands, in the wake of the loss of the [[Sunwell]] several tribes attacked the weakened elves. Zul'jin also returned after years missing to lead the trolls against the elves and their new allies- the horde.

One tribe, the [[Revantusk tribe|Revantusk]]s who still felt some loyalty toward the Horde agreed to a pact of friendship and mutual assistance with the new Horde under [[Thrall]], but declined to rejoin them as they also remembered the recklessness and corruption of the first Horde.<ref>''[[Troll Compendium]]''</ref>

===Magic and religion===
  
−
Like other trolls, forest trolls practice [[Voodoo]] magic as well as [[shaman]]ism and [[priest]] magics. The forest trolls also worship a serpent goddess named [[Ula-tek]]. She appears to be one of the [[Loa]].
  
−  
−
A small minority of forest trolls also worship [[Hakkar the Soulflayer]], though his cult never achieved the dominance it enjoyed among the [[jungle troll]]s.
  
−  
−
===Relationships===
  
−
Forest trolls are vicious and cunning. As cannibals, they eat the flesh of their enemies and even sometimes each other. Forest trolls have few allies, they hate [[orc]]s who they see as weak and who failed on their promise to return the forest trolls to their former glory. Many of tribes of forest trolls are also hostile towards each other. The Revantusk tribe is the only tribe friendly towards the Horde. Relations between the Alliance and forest trolls is unknown as it has not been stated anywhere, but they no doubt hold a grudge towards the [[human]]s for helping the [[high elves]] at the end of the conflict between the trolls and high elves.
  
−  
−
===Forest trolls and high elves===
  
−
Forest trolls and [[high elves]] see each other as sworn enemies. The trolls hate the elves as they invaded their lands and almost wiped them out, and the elves see the forest trolls as barbarians intent on destroying their homeland. The high elves had been in the dominant position for centuries since the [[Troll War]]s. However, with the recent destruction of their homeland, the elves are weakened and the forest trolls see a chance for revenge.

==Appearance==
  
−
[[File:Vilebranch Aman'zasi Guard.jpg|thumb|In-game forest troll model.]]
  
−
Forest trolls resemble their jungle troll cousins, but are taller and more muscled. Their hair ranges from blood
  
−
red to midnight black, while their skins are a deep olive green. Forest trolls decorate their bodies with ritual scarring and piercings, and they prefer white or dark warpaints symbolizing their power and glory.<ref>{{ref book |author= Bennie, Scott |coauthors= Richard Farrese, Bob Fitch |title= [[Horde Player's Guide]] |isbn= 9781588467720 |pages=10}}</ref> These humanoids are easily seven feet tall, with an impressive build and mottled, dark green skin covered with moss. Yellow teeth show under a large, hooked nose.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
  
−
Due to a mutation that took place many millennia ago, the forest trolls' bodies can support plant life to a limited extent. A thin layer of moss inevitably grows on the skin of forest trolls shortly after they are born and gives them their characteristic green coloring.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/troll/foresttrolls.html</ref>

−
*The models for Forest trolls have the hands and feet a different color then the skin. It may be because the hands and feet are covered with moss while the body is moss free or the body may be covered with moss and the feet are uncovered.
