Left unchecked, they would absolutely rebuild their empire and push for world domination.

Elves have been the only thing to keep them in check but even they couldn’t do it alone. An alternative solution is required …

I think it was Romuul or that Exarch who got killed by Socrethat in WoD who said that on Argus, magic, art and technology were one (if someone has the actual quote, it would be awesome).
On top of that, at least in Rise of the Horde, draenei were described as species that used Arcane extensively (possibly comparable to high elves in terms of how prevalent it was in their society).

This is just an idea, but what if Arcane became so widespread among the population that it lost its status as something extraordinary and is just something anyone who works with technology can use? So even though there are pure mages, they don´t have special social standing because it´s just a normal job for draenei that nobody throws a fuss about.
“Oh, you are a mage? How much do you earn per month?”
“Listen, Daavid, I did not choose to do it for money, alright?”

To be honest that book jumps all over the place, timewise, Supposedly Troll Wars, then post Second War, then post Third War/during Third War… It has some useful information as to what the Sunwell’s destruction actually meant, and how people survived or didn’t, as well as the formation of the Blood Knights, and actually clears up who -did- kill Dark’han Drathir. I should probably grab myself an English copy, the German was quite heavy going.

Yeah, wipe out all the elves and let the trolls have the lands the humans and elves stole from them.

“Embrace glorious troll leadership” seems like a good plan. Why fight it?

You watch your mouth pretty boy! >:(

I sneeze towards you

look at ice trolls

k

lmao is that real? legit didn’t know that

Not completely, but most trolls can’t deal with the Cold that well, but Ice trolls can.
Vol’jin mentions it in ‘‘Shadows of the Horde’’, but it seems they can get used to it a bit at least.

Shadow of the Horde says that trolls can’t survive in the cold for long, they’re naturally really weak to it and exposing yourself to it for long leaves a troll dead really quickly. Only exception being ice trolls who underwent a freak genetic mutation that still remains a mystery to other trolls. Khal’ak tried to achieve that mutation by eating ritually prepared Drakkari flesh to no effect.

I don’t remember this part, but she was a bit angry.

The other trolls are just jealous…

Man real shame about those Drakkari trolls getting wiped out. We moving into the mountains boys, they can’t get us there.

The Drakkari tribe, sure.

There’s still other Ice troll tribes out there.

Forgot about those damn ice trolls in Dun Morogh. Someone better sort them out real quick so I can sleep soundly.

There’s other Ice troll tribes but the Frostmane.

c:

Khal’ak refused to huddle beneath the tiger-fur cloak, though she was glad for its warmth. The storm had long since shrieked away its fury in battering the wooden ramparts surrounding the harbor on the Isle of Thunder, sharp breezes and brisk gusts still cut at her exposed flesh. She’d hoped she’d actually consumed enough ice troll flesh that their comfort with the cold would have been transferred to her, but this was not the case.

Huh, how about that.

Wowpedia’s got nothing - do we have any indication as to what the vulpera language sounds/looks like?
