Hello, visitors of the library 👋 Embark on a journey into the heart of the jungle. While some of you might be familiar with our previous tales of the Stranglethorn Vale, that video is now outdated and doesn't align with our current storytelling. It has been reimagined, offering you a renewed exploration of the jungle's lore in this Season of Discovery. Here at the library, we aim to craft tales that resonate with your interests, making your feedback incredibly valuable. Feel free to comment down below if you have any suggestions and feedback. Best of luck in the jungle! ⚔🌴🐅

[@BeatMessiah]

Great zone to explore. I used to feel like STV was a milestone when leveling back in the day. It always felt nice to start questing there.

[@DPH_Psychosis]

Troll lore is among the best lore in the franchise.

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

Indeed, there is much more of it to come 🌴

[@Meatblasting]

Wish they didn’t do Vol’jin so dirty

[@DPH_Psychosis]

@@Meatblasting no kidding

[@westcoast9285]

Agreed

[@westcoast9285]

@@Meatblastingthey have a real chance to bring him back as a wildseed resurrected loa of kings of all trolls. He could bring the Amani in the new expac and be this god warrior figure and give all the Trolls and Vol Jin the respect he deserves. If they’re gonna unite the elves they gotta unite the Trolls. And having the Amani join the Horde would basically bring all the main Trolls in the Horde and back to respect. He refused to form a troll empire and to stay in the Horde so it would be due justice for him to bring all the Trolls into the folks especially if the elves are in nearby Quel Thalas.

[@Alexekaj]

A video on the Bloodsail Buccaneer faction would be awesome

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

Scripting as we speak my friend ⚔️🏴‍☠️

[@frantictoast3741]

You flow between topics in your videos so fluidly

[@Shadowhunterclub]

Man you do amazing work!

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

I extend my gratitude. King's honour friend ⚔️

[@mattiashellstrom4682]

Hey! Another intriguing video! This place hold alot of memories for me. ALOT of world PvP battles and lots of great tales. The one part i misss however in this zone is Zanzil the outcast and the fact that he even has ties to other zones outside Stranglethorn (i will let your mind work on this one). This content is realy great and it is presented in a wonderfull (and to my personal liking) calm and precise way! Best wishes from Sweden!

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

Indeed, Zanzil is an intriguing character. We had hoped to incorporate additional elements into this narrative, such as stories from the Gurubashi Arena, but unfortunately, time constraints impeded our ability to do so. Thanks for the comment once again, plenty more tales to come. 🏝️🦜🌊 🦍🐒

[@seanmoore5205]

I always thought how cool it would be if the darkspear tribe were to have a campaign to take back the Gurubashi zone as their new capital city and Voljin as a loa cleanses Hakkar from the land once and for all

[@IceCaller01]

Your videos are so interesting and well crafted!! :)

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

You're very welcome! Many more tales are currently in progress🗡️

[@willhendrikz8035]

Subbed. Please keep them coming you rival nobel

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

Wow, I appreciate the feedback. Achieving a level of success akin to Nobel's is certainly a wish for many. Safe travels friend 🌴

[@kyleellis1825]

I still think the part of stranglethorn that got split by the cata, should have been turned into an underwater subzone to explore. Stick some emerging Naga/Murlocs in it and have it as a practice Vashjir.

[@alexanderdavis7749]

Pure chaos!😊 That's what I liked about it though.

[@danieltodorov7753]

Thank you for becoming a better person. It's nice to see it wasn't a one off thing, you really improved.

[@n4te08]

i feel like ima enjoy this

[@DJK827]

Also remember this place being way too diverse and big! Was way too many questlines seemed like I was there for a month leveling from 30-40 back in TBC . A lot of quests lore with the trolls there was a temple everywhere you went. I remember being stuck at 39 and just outside of booty bay and somehow the questline I was on just stopped so I farmed to 40 and left. One of the happiest moments I got my first mount and I couldn’t wait to leave that god forsaken place lol didn’t like it at all except for the dwarf that hunts quests can’t remember his name.

[@BlacKFooTBiggS]

You should have more viewers great stuff. May I watch on twitch stream. ?

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

Thank you friend, it's a free world out brother 🔮

[@BIacklce]

It's all that troll who gave medivh a headache's fault.

[@NedayIsOnline]

Oh yeah, it's time

[@seanbrunsvig9100]

hakar the hound master

[@harmagedonFR]

Hey, is this possible to make a French version of this kind of video?

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

By employing text-to-speech AI, the potential for translation exists. However, venturing into the realm of AI usage is not a current direction we wish to pursue. Our current approach involves incorporating subtitles in various languages, including French, German, and Swedish. These subtitles can be activiated in the video settings. We will use this method going forward, thanks for the comment. 🌴

[@danielgarlock2074]

Interesting lore. I remember just coming down here to an instance that had certain rewards and soloing it. It was fun, epic even, But I don't get this, this strong identification with a fictional race. Take a walk, take a deep breath, meet your neighbors, wtf

[@Tootswilligers]

Lol played since BC. Never made a troll before lol. They just look like crap.

[@orlandogloom5409]

Depends on how you picture a character. Each race and class got their own charm. I'd argue that calling something ugly in this game is right and wrong at the same time. Again, depends on what you're going for and how you execute that. Some transmogs just don't fit on most classes and you gotta choose wisely based on that. Others have better customization options in this and others in that. And so on. Ultimately, anyone who's chosen to play this game and keeps complaining about ugliness is basically braindead though. In the sense of still falling in love with something that they say they dislike, at least...

[@orlandogloom5409]

Oh, that last part wasn't directed at you. I had those who keep complaining about 90% of this game's looks in mind while typing that. But I do disagree on any races being ugly, ngl. Always depends on what option of a variety you find more beautiful each time you roll a character, imo.

[@darkfangulas]

Is this Ai voice over of Ai generated text?

[@TheKarazhanLibrary]

No my good sir, my own voice is recorded on audacity and edited down, all in-game footage is captured with OBS, script is written in word and all graphics and on-screen text are produced in photoshop

[@darkfangulas]

@TheKarazhanLibrary ok that's cool just making sure because your speaking is so consistent and perfectly suited for story telling I thought it was engineered, take it as a compliment I suppose

[@That_kind_of_orc]

Trolls are very cool but let's be real they are the biggest punching bag race and losers in the lore. Only darkspear tribe and zandalari are doing good and that's because they are part of the horde

[@DPH_Psychosis]

Funny because I think the same thing of the Undead lol

[@Billionman99]

Bc they are the indigenous population

[@Lizard1582]

Only in relatively recent lore. They beat the Aqir in all-out war and only started dwindling once displaced by elves who evolved from them. Basically anyone who didnt join the alliance or horde is in a bad place. Scarlet Crusade, Grimtotem, Dark Iron, Gilneas, but with trolls there was so much of them that theres dozens of different tribes we see get clobbered.

[@That_kind_of_orc]

@@Lizard1582 yeah but elves made trolls betas already before the sundering which was over 10 thousand years ago
