Ok, where to begin

Firstly, trollish names are earned. Take for instance Zul'Jin, our favourite forest troll from Warcraft 2. Jin means leader, and as for what Zul means... I have no idea. But it must mean something important, as three important trollish areas or cities, Zul'Amun of the Forest Trolls, Zul'Gurub of the Jungle Trolls and Zul'Farrak of the Sand Trolls, all have Zul in their names

Secondly, a Forest Troll could not have been born in southeast Azeroth. That puts him roughly in Stranglethorn Vale. That is FAR out of Forest Troll territory. Southeast Lordaren I could see, as that would be in Silverpine or Hillsbrad, but Forest Trolls haven't crossed the Thandol span. They spanned from Zul'Amun to Arathi, and still do to this day. Though not with the same impact they used to have

Thirdly, most of those human nations you talked about didn't exist back during the Troll Wars. Infact, the only one which sort of did was Stromgarde, known as Strom back then, and quite known for defeating all of the other human tribes and then uniting them under its own banner to help out the elves defeat the trolls. Eventually Dalaran sprung up due to the pact between the elves and the humans, but the nations of Lordaren, Gilneas, Kul'Tiras and Alterac wouldn't spring up until years later, along with Stormwind

The dwarves were still in Uldaman, Ulduar and Uldum

That's basically what happaned during the troll wars

Ug great ur warcraft lore may be but this is like 50 years before warcraft 1 so all the nations are formed and ect.. I think ask terranup
#21
50 years before WC1 the forest trolls were a ruined nation to be soon united by Zul'Jin and then break apart again

And no matter what the time, a forest troll would find it impossible to cross the Thandol Span and be born in Azeroth rather than Lordaren
