Since the Vilebranch Trolls had gained their advantage through sheer numbers, Yu Lin Bloodhawk needed to find a way to eliminate that advantage. What the head of the Vilebranch Troll Armed Police had told him about troll tribes accepting members from other tribes had given him considerable inspiration.
He thought he could try letting Evil Spikes, Evil Fang, Broken Tooth, and Zuga divide all the future Shadowpine troll prisoners from Zul'Aman among the four of them.

Besides, if Evil Spikes, Evil Fang, Broken Tooth, and Zuga all wanted to become chieftains, Yu Lin Bloodhawk certainly could not let them do so here in the Hinterlands! That left only one possible location: Hakkari Island.
