Sandfury Trolls and Dark Trolls

So first off, it’s perfectly lore viable to have Sandfury trolls as a playable faction provided they’re in service to the Zandalari Empire, which we’ve seen is entirely the case since the last General to sit on the Zanchuli council was a Farraki. The General of their forces AND seated on the Zanchuli council, that’s no small position to hold especially considering he is not even apart of the Zandalari tribe and the fact that the Zandalari tribe hold themselves as superior to every other troll. Looking at the Farraki tribes situation in the lore it seems to be that most of the tribe are situated in Zandalar and alligned with them.

That’s the situation prior to Jakra’zet and Zul’‘s betrayal though. We did fight the Farraki afterwards. Right now we have no clue how Talanji pledging the Zandalari to the Horde will impact the lesser tribes’ allegiances… It would make sense that they start having a more neutral, less murder-based relationship with the Horde. But they could also have the opposite reaction and decide to distance themselves from the Zandalari Empire as a consequence.

There are Fel Orcs loyal to the Horde, since Cataclysm, at the Dark Portal and Thrallmar.

Red skin and everything. So yea, those should be added.

Oh yeah what about those guys ? Were they ever confirmed to be Fel Orcs ? It would be interesting to know that Fel Orcs are not totally beyond sanity and redemption, but I don’t think it was ever addressed.

Anyway. I think it’s safe to say the Sand and Dark Troll skintones were only added because they looked cool and devs thought they would be popular. I don’t believe anything can be drawn from their addition lorewise.
