They basically stopped chasing the trolls beyond the surroundings of Zul’Aman itself, or they’d have besieged the city itself. The humans and elves were pretty much too exhausted by the war to follow up breaking the Amani army with an actual military assault on their heartland.
It’s heavily implied that the humans didn’t actually wipe out the Drust, but rather Gorak Tul likely killed the last of his remaining people (though being a fanatical death cult, they may have wilingly allowed it) as part of the rituals for animating his replacement army of constructs.
Where does it imply that they were wiping them out though, I Mean sure they fought each(as i said these tribes were hostile with everyone) other but again there are still frost trolls in dwarf starting zones and arathi, They weren’t wiped out.
Sure Daelin wanted to kill the orc’s, I mean this was after Ogrim horde tried to wipe them out and they had escaped from prison. He had reasons to believe they would try again.
Yea, again doesn’t mean they actively were wiping out non hostile troll tribes. they were fighting the once who were attacking them.
Then I retract the demon blood statement, I just recall every official artwork before the movie of both characters had them being green.
But the original point of what I said remains. Doomhammer was just as complacent as Saurfang in everything The Orcs did, he was just more vocally against it and eventually tried to do something about it.
The Drust were openly hostile to the Kultirans after they had already settled on Kul’tiras. As Raselle stated the drust following Gorak Tul seemed to be fanatical and even though they were almost defeated the fought to the last and summoned golems to fight for them so they were still a threat. There are still some Drust that allied with the humans against Gorak tul who taught the Humans Druidism.
The Humans came to the aid of the Bloodelves who were going to be wiped out by the Amani, Again they weren’t hunted to the last nor and after they defeated the Amani’s army the humans left. The humans also didn’t settle in any of the Amani’s territory that was all the Bloodelves.
But the first thing he did when landing on Darkspear’s home was to fight them.
And ‘troll hunters’ are just roleplayers pretending to be different race and class.
And after the Troll Wars where Chronicles specifically highlighted humans “Hunting remaining trolls like a sport”.
The orcs started the conflict by attacking the citizens of Stormwind and Doomhammer was focused on destroying Lordaeron largely because he knew that the razing of Stormwind would prevent any chance of the humans nations leaving the Horde alone. He also saw the destruction of Lordaeron as a way to shatter the human spirit due to how Lordaeron was seen as the most powerful of the kingdoms. Furthermore he was completely surprised by Alterac’s betrayal because he genuinely didn’t think that any human nation would turn cloak or even go neutral for the Horde.
As for Silvermoon…Doomhammer honestly didn’t care about it. He simply saw the Horde invasion of Quel’thalas as way to honor their new alliance with Zul’jin and the forest trolls, though that did have limits as he prioritized the conquest of Lordaeron over destroying Silvermoon.
Durotan and Doomhammer never drank the demon blood. Durotan refused to let the Frostwolves drink due to receiving an anonymous message about the dangers of accepting the blood from Ner’zhul, while Doomhammer refused because he starting suspecting that something was going amiss.
While orcs who drank the blood of Mannoroth gained green skin over time the constant use of fel magic turned even those who didn’t drink the blood into green skins.
Understandable; while drinking the blood basically made the color change instantaneous, the orcs in general turned green - including those who didn’t drink it - due to ambient exposure to large concentrations of fel being slung around by the Horde’s warlocks during the conquest of Draenor.
It’s also feasible that the change may have been contributed to by them having to eat meat and vegetation on Draenor that was increasingly being contaminated by said fel energies.
Only the Mag’har were spared it, because they were quarantined in Nagrand where the Horde’s fel magics hadn’t significantly corrupted the landscape, and they weren’t regularly in contact with other, fel-contaminated orcs.
This land is where orcs and humans first spilled each other’s blood. Not a mile south lurks Stonard, where the orcs first grouped to invade our lands.
It was here they amassed their armies before we even knew they existed. It was here that they started the first of three wars with their attack on a small Alliance to the west.

I wish more characters Horde-side had the kind of story arc Doomhammer did, but on a smaller scale. Some critical thought, overarching development, and justifiable reasons for what they do.
Not just certain Charcters, Maybe for once the Horde can act actually not follow some brutal leaders command to commit genocide and actually either turn on them or walk away from the battle. Show that the common horde has a conscious instead of blindly follow commands.
Have the common horde argue back if they are ordered to do something that would compromise their honor. one thing I liked in the movie was the horde stopping guldan from killing Lothar.
Sen’jin had already committed the Darkspear to the Horde by then, The darkspear were probably already showing Horde colors when Daelin came across them.
I can’t find reference to that at all in chronicles, I can see that they pursued the defeated army but not anything about hunting them for sport.
I mean the Horde have more outposts in hostile troll territory than the Alliance does . Stranglethorn, Silvermoon are right in the middle of Gurubashi and Amani territory. They also been killing them just as much as the Alliance has been.
The playable Horde… technically Blackhands Horde considers him a traitor to the utmost.
I don’t believe in this kind of absolute relativism, especially in real life. (George Washington was a colonial thug and his success in 1776 was to the detriment of the most down trodden people living in the Americas at that time, such as Africans and Indigenous people. That’s a fact, objectively.)
Thrall (wanted what was best for everyone, but too wishy-washy to be forceful enough on his own side, letting guys like the Warsong and Defilers provokethe Alliance)
Vol’jin (probably, killed off too soon)
Orgrim Doomhammer (wanted what was best for orcs above all else, but willing to cut deals and work fairly with non-orcs. F### everyone else though)
Alt Grom Hellscream (too battle and conquest hungry, not an effective ruler once the Iron Horde starts facing real setbacks)
Garrosh (smarter but less honorable than his father, eventually goes full orc-Hitler)
Sylvanas (possibly- probably the single most intelligent Warchief, but completely amoral and using it only as a tool to her own ends)
Ner’zhul (He started out fairly sympathetically, seeking yet another new world for his people stuck on a dying world (since Azeroth proved too strong). He did well with what limited resources he had, but spent his short tenure undergoing a slow mental breakdown that ended with him exploding his planet)
Blackhand (just a thug getting puppeteered by Gul’Dan)
Trolls killing (and eating Trolls) of other tribes is perfectly in character for the species. The idea of a Troll Trollhunter is far from abnormal. We have Humans who hunt Humans… generally for bounties and that’s what they call a living.
Ah, Doomhammer… the last true Warchief of the Horde. If only we could convince the Bronze Dragons to pull one last wibbley-wobbley, timey-whimey shennanigan and bring him back.
