Troll Compendium/Sand Trolls

This article is a copy of "The Troll Compendium," an official article by Blizzard Entertainment. It presented a variety of information about trolls. The original article, formerly located at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/trolls/sandtrolls.html, did not survive the overhaul of the World of Warcraft Official Website.

Historical capital: Zul'Farrak

Known tribe: Sandfury

Description: The sand trolls' skin is coarse and cracked, and its color tends to be brown or gold. Sand trolls also have thinner manes of hair than their brethren. Sand trolls mostly keep to themselves and attack all outsiders.

History: The chaos of the Great Sundering isolated one of the tribes that had been living in the fringes of the Gurubashi empire. The relentless desert sun of Tanaris beat down on the trolls, who gradually adapted to their harsh new environment.

The sand trolls have never formed an empire. In fact, they have gradually been forced to surrender much of their lands in Tanaris, though they are defending their current territory with great tenacity.
