and getting lost on said trek for an entire month.
Because the very same elves had already commanded from afar (if not personally took part in) previous raiding parties on the very same lands.

In the first map we can see the grand expanse of four troll empires. We can also see what land the Dark Trolls migrated to.
Map 2 Before we even read about troll combat, we’re shown Azshara’s designs on the world: It is her world, and trolls are, at best, guests upon it. They were intent on taking land, and were taking land, and the trolls reacted to invasion into their homelands.
The Highborne’s journey proved unexpectedly brutal. A ferocious blizzard stopped the elves dead in their tracks for nearly a month as they traveled, with no way to move forward or escape from the mountain passes.

Nevermind that they weren’t following anything but a vague sense of “There’s magic around here…”
That would be the correct way to phrase that were that the case.
They didn’t phrase it that way.
They didn’t phrase it that way because they were trying to find a way out for a month.
Given how much the sundering reset the topography of the world, It isn’t like any knowledge they had before would of been very useful anyways. Even the ley lines would of all shifted around as the second well became their anchor point and not the old one.
Except, they didn’t “get lost”, they were looking to reach the northern ley-lines and they quite clearly did not have ships and there’s only way one land route to reach the northern ley-lines because Quel’Thalas is a peninsula so… it’s really not a complicated story to understand.
