+ Absolutely hate Blood Elves.
+ Blood elves and Forest trolls waged war, perhaps blood elves and Horde alliance will make the Trolls seek alliance with the Alliance.
+ If Forest Trolls don't ally themselves with some pretty strong allies the former High elves (Blood elves) will surely wipe them out once and for all (High elves/Blood elves want all Forest Trolls dead).
+ Like Blood Elves, they are a slightly different version of an established playable race.
+ Once allies to the Horde, were betrayed by the Orcs and now harbour a grudge - Thrall quote: “Forest Trolls. It shames me to think they were ever a part of the Horde.” Sylvanas quote: “Forest trolls! I hate them even more than those cursed dreadlords. Slaughter them all!”
- Humans were involved with defeating the forest trolls with the high elves, in exchange for the elves teaching 100 humans the art of magic.
- No obvious connection to the Outland.
- Forest Trolls live in the southeast region of Quel'Thalas, just below where Eversong Forest (the Blood Elf starting zone) will be. It is highly unlikely Blizzard would place both new races and starting zones right next to each other.
