Zuluhed spent a peaceful week at an inn near the port of Zandalar.

During that time, no Troll came to bother him.

Accustomed to life in exile, Zuluhed found the sudden peace a little difficult to adjust to.

The prophet Yazir had spoken of treated Zuluhed as an honored guest. He was thoroughly satisfied with the food, lodging, and transportation. Each night, Zuluhed could even enjoy services of a different kind.

In his spare time, Zuluhed often took a stroll around the harbor.

Zuluhed gathered a great deal of information about Zandalari Troll history at the harbor. This ancient Troll tribe could trace its history back tens of thousands of years.

The glory of the past had given rise to Zandalar's splendid Troll civilization. Whenever the commoners spoke of Zuldazar, they proudly called it the oldest city of gold.
