    The Zandalari also had conflicts with the elves. First with the night elves shortly before the War of the Ancients. The Zandalari lost many of their northern territories to Queen Azshara, but managed to hold the areas surrounding Zuldazar. The second time was during the Troll Wars where they aided the Amani against the high elves. As the war turned to the high elves' favor, the Zandalari didn't want to sacrifice anymore warriors, so they returned to their ships and sailed home. The Zandalari have been involved in many key events of the Warcraft lore.

    If one had to choose as a player the choice is between humpback stick figures (Dark Spear clan) (excluding the females) whose only real worthwhile skill is a 10% haste buff that last 12 secs with a CD of 3min. The Zandalari trolls are more muscular, stand straight and tall with several racial skills as well as choosing a Loa to worship offering different benefits to fit anyone's play style. Zandalari after all have their own city/zone where the Dark Spear are more or less refuges.

    Yes, you bring up a very legit point. They've been mortal enemies since...forever. Seeing as how Blizz has kinda given up on panda lore since MoP, I don't really think they'll bother to rectify this :( which I'm sad about. I think pandas have the potential to add a lot of flavor to the game, even if the player base might not really like them. Pandas are the only race in both factions. BfA is a massive expansion of the battles that took place on Pandaria, battles that the Panda were vehemently against. Why they would support this in any way shape or form...really doesn't make much sense.

    That's right! Copy pasta from wowpedia: wow.gamepedia.com/Dark_troll Gradually, many dark trolls started to migrate towards the labyrinthine groves at the heart of Kalimdor, encountering creatures such as dryadsand faerie dragons and eventually discovering an enormous lake filled with magical energies at the very center of the continent. Calling the lake the "Well of Eternity", the dark trolls settled upon its shores. Over generations, the energies of the Well transformed them, elevating their forms and transforming them into highly intelligent and virtually immortal beings. The former trolls gradually abandoned their ancient heritage, and the tribe's mystics started worshipping "Elune", a nocturnal moon goddess which they believed slumbered in the Well's depths during the day. The former trolls also discovered the name "Kalimdor" and other titan-forged words from communing with Elune and investigating strange artifacts scattered around the Well. Influenced by this newfound language, they took up the name kaldorei - "children of the stars" - or night elves. So time line wise it would be anywhere around 16000 years ago, plus minus a couple thousand :)

    Yea, you bring up a great point that's been irking me too. Blizzard seems to have just forgotten entirely about Pandaren Lore after MoP. They've been mortal enemies for thousand and thousands of years. Don't just see them shaking hands and making up. Plus, the entire BfA conflict is antithesis to what Pandaren believe in. They were already so against the battles occuring on their island between the Horde and Alliance during MoP. Not sure why if ever they would now agree to take part in a world war.

    Same here, I agree with you. The lore is pretty important. But I guess it is a game, first and foremost. So unfortunately they'll have to put gameplay reasons first, I understand. Still, sometimes they do seem to abandon strong lore reasons for very weak gameplay ones, which is when it gets annoying ;)

    You are right, novels are usually treated as the most canon of lore. Blizzard like to retcon stuff though, and it gets pretty confusing. In chronicles, Dark Trolls were already a separate group from the Amani even before the aqir war. In the original lore, all the troll tribes gathered together under Zandalar before breaking off after the war.
