Jintha ' Alor Jintha ' Alor is the capital city of the Vilebranch tribe of forest troll s in the Hinterlands , built by the Trolls of the Amani Empire . It is the second largest city of the forest trolls , second only to wondrous Zul ' Aman . The leaders of Jintha ' Alor are Vile Priestess Hexx and Hitah ' ya the Keeper . Rumors exist of an ancient egg of Hakkar the Soulflayer residing in the city . . . Quest guide . Quests to do in Jintha ' Alor itself . Jintha ' Alor is built in a series of tiers , each populated by a certain level - range and class mix of Vilebranch trolls . Your objective , in most of the quests undertaken here , is to reach the topmost tier where the altar and important people are . Others happen along the way , including ( loot small , slow - respawning bubbling cauldrons scattered around the tiers ) , ( gives a nice reward for melee and hunters ) , and , which involves finding two items on the highest tier . Alliance characters will want to be able to do the chain that eventually gives , which has a popular scripted event at its completion , and both factions will want to run Zul ' Farrak to be able to complete , which leads into Sunken Temple and Lower Blackrock Spire . For people who are not interested in fighting their way through all the levels it should be noted that there is a quick way to skip the bottom tiers ; The hills to the east of the entrance ( near the graveyard ) allow easy access to a piece of wall about halfway up . As an important note , two instances have key boss - unlocking events here . These will be the first and pretty much only unlocking quests a player will encounter before high - level endgame instances , so it ' s strange that one has a very difficult time finding a group for this area . Though all the quests here can be soloed , you should be beware ; the mobs are packed in tight groups , which can cause aggro problems . The Zul ' Farrak Mallet . One of the most popular reasons to run through Jintha ' Alor isn ' t a quest . The quest text for mentions finding a secret out from the trolls . On ancient tablets , a grey drop from the mobs in that instance , one reads that a sacred mallet must be obtained from the far - off Altar of Zul in the Hinterlands and struck against the altar atop Jintha ' Alor . The first part is easy enough , a few mobs to kill and the sacred mallet is yours . Once you have battled your way through the fierce trolls , and conquered the small amphitheater with the altar ( and Elder Torntusk atop it ) , you need to stand next to it and use the sacred mallet from your inventory . It will transform into the Mallet of Zul ' Farrak , the item with which you previously banged a gong to summon Gahz ' rilla . However , after patch 3 . 0 . 8 , the mallet was no longer necessary for summoning Gahz ' rilla and it became a blue mace weapon . Higher - level players will have no problem just running up to the top while mounted . Most of the mobs will stop chasing you once you get there . Everyone else without the epics will have to kill their way to the top . Pulls are usually pretty simple and nice and slow . Just be careful of adds – there are plenty of patrols . In Cataclysm . The Horde now have a very small encampment at the base of the ruins . Further up in second - to - last tier is a pit that holds a large , roped down troll . The top cave now is filled with spiders , while the exterior area is filled with sacrificed Vilebranch trolls . In addition , the area where the bird cage used to be there are now three Wildhammer Clan NPCs .
