Leaving the Animal Gods to discuss matters, Patrick took a careful look around Gundrak. He had to admit that the Drakkari Trolls' city was far superior to Zul'Aman and felt much more urban.
From his observations along the way, Patrick discovered that the Drakkari Trolls were the only Trolls who had mastered farming-and farming in Northrend's freezing climate, at that. Zul'Drak's terrain ran northeast to southwest overall. The Trolls had built an irrigation canal that began at Mamtoth's altar, passed through the entire central region of Zul'Drak, and ended at Zol'Maz Fortress. The water flowing through it led directly to the Drak'Sotra farmland.
In the end, however, Malakk and Galdarah had split over the Scourge invasion. Having seized sole power, Galdarah began slaughtering the six Animal Gods who had once sheltered the Drakkari Trolls, and the Trolls' division left almost all of Zul'Drak in ruins.
Had Malakk and Galdarah not split, the Drakkari Trolls might have been the strongest Trolls in all of Azeroth. If their productivity improved dramatically, their population growth was no longer restricted, and they stopped dividing themselves into races such as Forest Trolls and Frost Trolls, the Trolls should have been the strongest force in Azeroth.
The founding of Quel'Thalas had involved countless battles with the Forest Trolls. Back then, the Trolls of Zul'Aman had not known how to farm, and their population had grown slowly. Sometimes, Trolls slaughtered their own kind and sacrificed their souls and flesh to the Animal Gods, slowing their population growth even further.
But in terms of individual strength, a Troll warrior was definitely far stronger than a human, High Elf, or Night Elf of the same rank. The difference in height and build alone made that obvious. Trolls were the tallest and largest creatures in Azeroth.
And judging by Zol'Maz's
