Trol ' kalar The Trol ' kalar ( aka Trol ' Kalar ) was the legendary blade of Lord Ignaeus of Strom , also called Trollbane . History . The dread sword known as the Trol ' kalar ( troll slayer , in the ancient tongue ) , was first known to be wielded by Strom ' s most capable warlord , Lord Ignaeus Trollbane , during the Troll Wars . After the war and with the departure of Thoradin ' s ruling descendants the Trollbane family ascended to the throne . The Trol ' kalar image changed by also becoming a true emblem of power in that region , being rightly wielded only by the direct descendants of Lord Ignaeus as a symbol of rulership over the glorious Kingdom of Stromgarde . The Trol ' kalar ' s fame ( or infamy ) is probably attributed to its ability to easily dispatch any troll with a few slashes . From there came its name , Trol ' kalar , and very possibly Ignaeus ' own nickname which later became the new name of his bloodline , the Trollbane family . After the Third War . With the mysterious death of Stromgarde ' s last ruler , Lord Thoras Trollbane , and because of the fragile condition of the Stromgarde nation , the Trol ' kalar was sealed with Thoras in his tomb awaiting for the day when a new champion would rise from the people of Arathi Highlands and bring honor and glory to maybe the greatest Kingdom Azeroth ever knew . A symbol of power or a tool of destruction ? Why not both ? The very name Trol ' kalar is capable of making the mightiest troll tremble . So amazing this sword is that the very trolls , quite aware of the power of the dread blade , to brave members of the Horde , so it can be used against the trolls of Zul ' Gurub . For they alone wouldn ' t dare to risk facing the Trol ' kalar ever again . Description . This bastard sword is notched and old , but its appearance belies its sharpness and balance . Trol ' Kalar pulses with a dim white radiance , almost as if alive . The weapon ’ s name means “ Troll Slayer ” in an ancient tongue . The scion of the Trollbane family , Prince Galen of Stromgarde , wields Trol ’ Kalar against forsaken , the Syndicate , murlocs and ogres instead of its traditional foes . The blade still proves deadly . In World of Warcraft . With Thoras Trollbane dead and his kingdom in ruins , the troll hunter Zengu was sent to the Arathi Highlands by order of Vol ' jin himself , instructed to make every effort to claim Trol ' kalar from the humans for use in the coming battle against Hakkar the Soulflayer and his legions in Zul ' Gurub . Zengu dispatched agents of the Horde to hunt down the portions of the Sigil of Ignaeus that would open the tomb . After locating the four sigils and slaying Prince Galen , Thoras ' son and leader of the remnants of Stromgarde , the Horde agents were able to bring Trol ' kalar back to Zengu , who would then depart for Stranglethorn Vale for its use in the battle against Hakkar . In Cataclysm . Zengu did not get far , however ; according to Dark Ranger Alina at the camp known as Galen ' s Fall , Zengu was attacked and killed by Stromgarde troops before he was able to leave Arathi with his prize . The Stromgarde soldiers took back Trol ' kalar and the Sigil of Ignaeus , dividing it once more among the surviving troops . Prince Galen , resurrected by the Forsaken , now directs Horde soldiers to once again find the divided sigils and reclaim Trol ' kalar . The player reclaims Trol ' kalar and gives it to Galen . In Legion . During the death knight campaign quest line , we see that Galen has taken Stromgarde as his base . He proclaims himself as a king and states that not even Sylvanas can oppose his rule . The death knights , including Thassarian and Nazgrim , slay Galen and retrieve Trol ' kalar which they use to open the tomb of Thoras Trollbane . They then ressurect Thoras as a death knight . It is uncertain who now wields Trol ' kalar , but the player hands in the quest to Thassarian , who may have given it to Thoras , but as a death knight follower , Thoras wields a weapon of another appearance . Powers . When a troll is slashed by this bastard sword , it cannot regenerate as it would when hurt by a common melee weapon . The wounds heal at their normal rate , just as if the troll victim didn ' t count with additional regeneration powers at all . The Trol ' kalar also procs additional holy damage to all evil creatures ( trolls included ) . The Trol ' kalar curses any evil creature attempting to use it with one negative level ( debuff ) . This curse inflicts the wielder as long as the sword is wielded . This one negative level curse cannot be cured nor dispelled , it will affect the wielder as long as he has the sword at hands .
