Yet the Trolls were the ones to Wipe them out not the titan forged. Sure, titan forged broke the back of the empire, but trolls were the ones to hunt down what remained and wiped them out. Trolls are the ones guilty of the genocide as there is no indication that the Titanforged continued to fight after Odyn was locked away as they were more concerned about the curse of flesh affecting them.
Except they didnât. The Aqir still lived as seen in BFA and most splintered off into different off shoots. Such as the Qiraji, Mantid and the Nerubians.
The Black Empire was destroyed by the Titanforged. The trolls did not do that.

i read quest text but I honestly still dont know who the first ones are except what the name says
I guess they were the first ones that created a bunch of stuff
They buried themselves in AhnâQiraj and other places as youâve stated. The Old Gods simply forced them into hibernation and evolved some of them into modified variants that would better blend in with Azeroth so that the Trolls wouldnât attack them.

I actually just read the story. The Zandalari mistook an Aqir general as a loa (as all good zandalari do). The aqir instantly retaliates, decimating all the surrounding trolls and burrows to find more Aqir. The trolls mount a counteroffensive and thus begins the war. The Zandalari unite the other tribes into a confederation-like state and hunt them down all over Old Kalimdor, establishing settlements in the process.

The Black Empire was destroyed by the titans. Unless weâre applying some vague platitudinous âAsgard is a people, not a placeâ standard, once there was no longer a functioning Empire, the Black Empire was over. The Black Empire was comprised of the Old Gods themselves, the vast temple cities that were built around their physical masses, the nâraqi, the aqir, the enslaved Elemental Lords and their armies, and whatever other fleshy/void entities the Old Gods manifested and spawned across the planet (such as the âgiant mawâ creatures from Cataclysm.) The Empire of AzjâAqir that fought the troll Empire of Zul was basically its own thing, being just Kithâix and the dormant swarms of aqir heâd awakened from beneath the surface of Azeroth (and given the timing of his assault upon Volâdun, seemingly Mythrax as well.)
Besides those two Câthraxxi, itâs unclear whether any additional nâraqi or other Old God-spawned creatures were unearthed to fight the trolls as well, but AzjâAqir never really amounted to an actual revival of the Black Empire, though thatâs ultimately what Kithâix likely intended to attempt once heâd succeeded in eradicating the trolls, since heâd have probably turned toward attacking the titan facilities next in order to free the Old Gods.

No worries I wasnât trying to. I actually agree with you I was just setting up the context for anyone who didnât understand because the Titans did indeed wipe out the Black Empire. The trolls just scattered the remaining remnants.
