Are these new Green Trolls Raventusk? Amani? Or have Darkspear now been retconned to have green skin?
Basically, are the Amani tribe and the other troll tribes now part of the Horde after being hostile to them for so long? Yes or no?
You will, if the other player is a role player theyâll likely include that in the context of their TRP profile.
The starting isle you can choose in Shadowlands allows for more options without necessarily providing a full story introduction to that particular customisation but that leaves more to the player to determine.

Maybe they broke off from their tribe, exiles, or wanted to explore the world.

My main concern here is: Are the Amani tribe at large now part of the Horde. Yes or no.
Simple as.

Yes youâre right, lore-wise they are hostile.
However in their profile it could be that they have proven their loyalty.
Although it isnât an option, there are Kul Tiran NPCs which are loyal to the Horde even though a player-made character of that race cannot be friendly to the Horde.
To that last question, no.
What about the Farraki? Dark Trolls? The other tones. Are these supposed to be outliers who abandoned their tribes to join the Horde or have the full on tribes somehow gone Horde at somepoint between BfA and Shadowlands.
We donât actually know what their intent is here, Iâd like lore context.

We donât have any yet, Shadowlands is still only in Alpha testing. Youâre going to have to be patient and wait like the rest of us.

We might not get any lore about this though.
I think Blizz is relaxing the lore a little bit with some of these new custom options. Like the sand troll skin, dark elves or the asian humans. Rather than giving lore answers to everything theyâre leaving it open to let players have more free reign to create and RP how they want to do it.
So there might not be an explanation or an official answer here, but itâs providing more options and letting players figure it out to just have fun with things instead. Unless Blizz actually says something on it then itâs probably best to not overthink it too much.

Thatâs right, we might not.
Some are clear but many are not. Itâs more likely to be player determined than ever before. Itâs understandable if thatâs something thatâs upsetting.
Okay, and you think the players have more idea whatâs going on than Blizzard does when it comes to these new options? Best advice I can give; donât overthink it.

Take this from someone who started with WC1 and has played WoW since release. The âloreâ in WoW has NEVER made sense and has ALWAYS been full of plot holes and lapses in logic. Expecting otherwise at this point is inane.

As an RPer, when someone chooses one of those ghastly new lol-lore options, you can ask them âwhat kind of troll are you supposed to be, a mint troll?â

Or, from one roleplayer to another, BE HAPPY WE HAVE MORE CUSTOMIZATIONS RATHER THAN THROWING A FIT

Look dude, ICly my main hates Amani. If the tribe is now part of the Horde than she basically canât be anymore as itâd go against her character. This is what Iâm trying to figure out right now more than anything.

Then dont associate with Amani. Roleplayers have been wanting more customizations for YEARS and now that weâre finally getting them you wanna get upset because of your character? Simple fix. If youâre character hates them, dont associate with them. Even if they are now part of the horde. Simple fix.

Okay great. But thatâs not what Iâm saying.
I donât know if my main should consider the Horde as a whole enemies or not. I just want some bloody clarification as to whether the Amani tribe are Horde now or not.
