      17:59, to be honest this is the best what could have happened to trolls. Having a dungeon/raid in almost every expansion kept them relevant to the story and give us a lot of lore. If you even think about it trolls and orcs have the most expanded and flash put lore and history. Compare to humans who were relegated to "adventures of Wrynn family and friends," "lol, poison gas" Forsaken and "safe us mighty human" night elves, being turned into loot pinata isnt the worst fate.

    One thing I would like to add to your video is that, despite Vol'jin eventually regaining his regeneration at the end of it, in Shadows of the Horde, Vol'jin does in fact not regenerate the huge hole in throat because of his own self doubts. So, perhaps, despite his engagement, maybe Zul'jin had doubts about his ability to squash the high elves even though he continuously rallied against them.

      The only reason the horde exists at all is due to plot armor because by all rights the alliance should be able to take them out with just the dwarfs at this point.

    Zul'jin never healed his eye or regrew his arm for two reasons:
    1: He was pretty old, so his regenerative powers ain't what they used to be.
    2: Especially traumatic injuries can hinder their ability to heal. Even in the real world this happens, such as after people taking a blow to the head the hair growing back white or not growing back at all because of the trauma. Whether it be emotional trauma or hatred, Zul'jin's healing was scuppered by his inner turmoil.

      No, blizzard are just terrible at their own lore. In BfA there are clear situations where a troll has regenerated massive damage in mere seconds during combat, such as an entirely shattered jaw or disembowlment. It has nothing to do with emotional trauma. In lore it states a troll can regenerate at will, this means they can literally regenerate anything with a thought. Unless a troll suffers a killing blow to the head or heart, they will regenerate should they want to. This even goes for fire, fire damage DOES regenerate, but at a slower pace.

  • @protonevoker891
    @protonevoker891 3 роки тому +44

    An interesting fact to take into consideration: the troll language is composed of many short words, often compounded together. This shows in troll names as a short given name (i.e. "Vol") and an honorific tagged on to the front or back (i.e. "'jin": elder or chieftain). Zul'jin isn't a name, it's a title: "zul" meaning the great and "jin" as seen above. Therefore he is "the great chieftain".

    I memorized the literal words and can recite it on command for patch 2.3 "Gods of Zul'Aman". Not only do I not believe Zul'jin did anything wrong, I hold him up as one of the shining kings of the Old Horde... and why Trolls are one of my all time favorite races in the game. Yes, every criticism leveled against them (being losers, not having really much in the way of relevance in the current meta)... everything about them is why I first fell in love with the game. In my old Vanilla days, I was named the Loremaster of Lordaeron (specialty: Trolls) and gave tours to the young uns on the lore. I loved the lore and I specifically fell more and more in love with the game over time as these characters showed up. Zul'jin is still one of my top favorite characters in the lore (to the point I still play HoTs so I can play him and get my team to rage quit because I am objectively shit at that game).

      Anybody else realise that Trolls are one of two (playable) races, along with Tauren that are actually native to Azeroth?
      Orcs and Draenei are from Draenor originally, Dwarven, Gnomes and Humans (and therefor also Undead) were originally titan constructs afflicted with the curse of flesh. Technically the Elven races could qualify, but they were originally Trolls that evolved due to their proximity to the Well of Eternity, which was the result of, you guessed it, the battle of Titans and Old Gods, therefor also not a natural native species of Azeroth.

    Random student of International Relations passing by to say, now that the Amani are a client State of the Zandalari Empire, and with their alliance with the horde, this has some massive geopolitical implications, the horde is pretty much a superpower in North of the Eastern Kingdoms, and at the sea, having easy access to Zandalar and Suramar, and don't forget about Highmountain, which would give them across to resources, and land, and the North of the Jade Forrest, which is close to Zandalar giving them a thigh gripe in the region... The horde is a fucking superpower now, and Zandalar, and the old troll empires are key to that.

    This was a solid video, kudos there, I am heartened to see the Amani getting some respect & sympathy.
    Though I'll note that if I recall the Amani didn't attack the elves until they'd settled on sacred lands & that the Sunwell originally had no Light magics. Also I am surprised Zanza and his "Arcanum" wasn't mentioned.
    On the subject of other videos on trolls, I hope the highly advanced magic and sustainability of the Drakkari gets some regard. They got screwed in canon, but if you actually look at their accomplishments they built a city the size of a country as big as Gilnease under incredibly frigid circumstances & yet somehow produced a surplus of food, had epic sized homes, a functional military, & incredible magics. They even brought down a Necropolis when it attacked them and seemed to only start losing to the Scourge thanks to internal betrayal & sabotage from the Argent Dawn & Zandalari, & even then, before the latter got there, they had seemingly been able to drive off the Scourge or stop its advance.
