Now would be a great time for Silvermoon to do the logical thing, and launch a massive offensive on Zul’Aman and wipe them out once and for all. All the local troll gods are dead, all their troll hero’s and leaders are dead. Zul’Aman is practically just an inhabited ruin at this point.
Its clear the Amani will never stop trying to kill the Elves, as shown when the honor less Amani attacked the Elves right after the Scourge invasion. The only way to resolve this situation, is to regrettably put all of the Amani to the sword.
Its unlikely the Amani could mount much of a defense of their city, meanwhile the Elves have the Blood Golems, Siege weapons, the Blood Knights, The Farstriders, maybe Grand Magister Rommath could even finally show his power and burn down Zul’Aman with massive fireballs.
As far as we know the Amani are still in there, its never been stated otherwise. We’ve only raided the city with small teams, not taken it with an army.
Sure the trolls in the horde would love this. I means there is no warchief to report to now guess they could just spin it like they always did and claim the trolls attacked them first.
The Trolls did attack first, just because it happened several thousands of years ago makes no difference to a people who live several thousands of years.
Actually, it was the Elves settling Silvermoon on top of a troll Holy site simply because of the leylines that were underneath it. So They wiped out the trolls they found there when they made their city.
Actually X2, the troll “holy site” was already in ruins and abandoned by the time the Elves arrived. Apparently the Trolls weren’t “outraged” when their “holy site” was in ruins, but suddenly get outraged when the Elves try to turn the area into a productive civilization.
Its also worth noting that when the Elves arrived in Lordaeron the Amani immediately sent out warbands against the Elves unprovoked. This was literally right after the Elves got off the boats, and before they had even touched any Amani ruins.
Righto, where you getting that from? cause everything I can see seems to refer to it as a troll holysite, not one that was abandoned or in ruins. The High elves drove the Amani off and then the Amani came back with a vengeance, Hence the troll wars.
Chronicle Volume 1. Page 121. " The high elves had built their new kingdom—a kingdom centered on the Sunwell, the heart of their new culture—atop ancient Amani ruins, ruins still considered hallowed ground by the trolls."
Ruins=“reduce (a building or place) to a state of decay, collapse, or disintegration”
Clearly the Trolls didnt care at all for their holy site, otherwise they wouldn’t let it crumble into ruins.
It’s not like the Elves knew it was holy ground. And by that point they’d travelled through one of the most bitter winters of their lives. This was as far North as they could get. It was either stand their ground against trolls who, from their perspective, were attacking them for no reason or die.
You cant abandon a structure (or temple/city in this case) for thousands of years. (Ancient implies thousands of years). Let the place completely fall apart, then claim to get mad when some one tears it down and builds a thriving civilization on top of it.
No one lets their “holy sites” fall to ruin, unless they just dont care about that “holy site”.
It’s funny how no one cares about genocide when it’s happening to trolls, but when you burn down one night elf tree full of civilians everyone gets all shocked.
We attack and kill them just fine in Zuldazar, the Amani are a hostile people squatting on Thalassian soil, removing them should be fine. If the Zandalari don’t like it then though. They can have the refugees.
