Trol'kalar

The Trol'kalar (aka Trol'Kalar) was the legendary blade of Lord Ignaeus of Strom, also called Trollbane.

History

The dread sword known as the Trol'kalar (troll slayer, in the ancient tongue), was first known to be wielded by Strom's most capable warlord, Lord Ignaeus Trollbane, during the Troll Wars. After the war and with the departure of Thoradin's ruling descendants the Trollbane family ascended to the throne. The Trol'kalar image changed by also becoming a true emblem of power in that region, being rightly wielded only by the direct descendants of Lord Ignaeus as a symbol of rulership over the glorious Kingdom of Stromgarde.

The Trol'kalar's fame (or infamy) is probably attributed to its ability to easily dispatch any troll with a few slashes. From there came its name, Trol'kalar, and very possibly Ignaeus' own nickname which later became the new name of his bloodline, the Trollbane family.

After the Third War

With the mysterious death of Stromgarde's last ruler, Lord Thoras Trollbane, and because of the fragile condition of the Stromgarde nation, the Trol'kalar was sealed with Thoras in his tomb awaiting for the day when a new champion would rise from the people of Arathi Highlands and bring honor and glory to maybe the greatest Kingdom Azeroth ever knew.

A symbol of power or a tool of destruction? Why not both? The very name Trol'kalar is capable of making the mightiest troll tremble. So amazing this sword is that the very trolls, quite aware of the power of the dread blade, entrusted its acquisition to brave members of the Horde, so it can be used against the trolls of Zul'Gurub. For they alone wouldn't dare to risk facing the Trol'kalar ever again.

Description

This bastard sword is notched and old, but its appearance belies its sharpness and balance. Trol'Kalar pulses with a dim white radiance, almost as if alive. The weapon’s name means “Troll Slayer” in an ancient tongue. The scion of the Trollbane family, Prince Galen of Stromgarde, wields Trol’Kalar against forsaken, the Syndicate, murlocs and ogres instead of its traditional foes. The blade still proves deadly.Template:Cite

Powers

When a troll is slashed by this bastard sword, it cannot regenerate as it would when hurt by a common melee weapon. The wounds heal at their normal rate, just as if the troll victim didn't count with additional regeneration powers at all. The Trol'kalar also procs additional holy damage to all evil creatures (trolls included).

The Trol'kalar curses any evil creature attempting to use it with one negative level (debuff). This curse inflicts the wielder as long as the sword is wielded. This one negative level curse cannot be cured nor dispelled, it will affect the wielder as long as he has the sword at hands.

Quotes

Nimboya: "With Thoras Trollbane dead and Stromgarde in ruins, Vol'jin has instructed that we make every effort to spirit the legendary sword Trol'kalar from the humans' hands, so that we might use it in our coming battles against the trolls of Zul'Gurub."

Zengu: "In ancient times, trolls fought against the Arathorian Empire and our most capable adversary, Lord Ignaeus of Strom, named Trollbane. He rode into battle wielding Trol'kalar - troll slayer, in their ancient tongue."
