Revantusk tribe The Revantusk tribe of forest troll s have constructed a well - fortified village on the coast of the Hinterlands . After learning of Thrall ' s new Horde and his noble goals , the Revantusk trolls agreed to a pact of friendship and mutual assistance with the Horde . Their relation with the other forest trolls of the Hinterlands is mostly in the form of conflict . Never one of the larger tribes in the Amani empire , the Revantusk tribe was nearly wiped out by the Troll Wars . Reluctantly , the trolls yielded to practicality and moved a safe distance away from the elven invaders . Like other forest trolls , the Revantusks swore that one day they would have their revenge . Background . The Second War gave the forest trolls that opportunity . Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer asked the trolls to ally themselves with the Horde . In return , Doomhammer promised that the Horde would vanquish the high elves and assist the forest trolls in reestablishing the Amani empire . As leader of all the forest trolls at the time , Zul ' jin eventually accepted Doomhammer ' s offer . A few tribes of forest trolls joined their new allies on the battlefield . Shortly thereafter , the Horde burned down the borderlands of Quel ' Thalas and slaughtered many high elf civilians . Furious at this wanton destruction of life , the elves subsequently committed all their resources to the war , which the Alliance ultimately won . Several additional battles later , most of the vanquished orc s on Azeroth were rounded up and placed in internment camps . In the war ' s disastrous aftermath , the Horde was shattered , and many forest trolls deserted their former orc allies without a moment ' s hesitation . The Revantusks had little choice other than to flee as well , for their numbers were far too few to liberate the captive orcs , particularly when the orcs themselves seemed uninterested in freedom . Because they continued to feel some loyalty toward the Horde , the Revantusks were the target of many attacks from other forest trolls . Eventually the Revantusk tribe relocated to the coast of the Hinterlands , where they hoped to avoid further notice . Then the courageous orc Thrall began reassembling a new Horde . He resolved that his people would return to their shamanistic traditions and establish a nation of their own . Word of the revitalized Horde and its noble goals soon reached the Revantusk trolls , who were still dwelling in Lordaeron . The news stirred the trolls ' interest , and the tribe immediately dispatched its speediest runners to make contact with the orcs . Thrall was wary of the trolls at first , but he came to see that the Revantusk trolls were unique among forest trolls in a fundamental way . The Revantusk tribe had never had much in the way of the fighters or resources , and so it had instead decided to specialize in the trickier art of negotiation . By the time they spoke with Thrall , the Revantusks had acquired a reputation for trustworthiness that was well deserved . The trolls were impressed by Thrall and his dream . Even so , they remembered the recklessness and corruption of the Old Horde . Thus , the Revantusks declined to rejoin the Horde , but they did agree to a pact of friendship and mutual assistance . Today the Revantusk tribe continues to live in a village along the southeast coast of the Hinterlands . Due to the tribe ' s small size and the Revantusks ' pact with Thrall , all other forest trolls regard the Revantusk trolls as weaklings and enemies . Similarly , the honorable Revantusks regard other forest trolls as traitors to the New Horde . A long - standing enmity exists between the Revantusk tribe and the Wildhammer clan of dwarves , who dwell in the Hinterlands and are considered enemies of the Horde . Part of the Horde . Thrall has been in communication with the Revantusk forest trolls , who agreed to a tentative alliance with the Horde . Relationships . Though not officially allied to the Horde , they get along well with it , having respect for Thrall and the orcs . They find it hard to relate to the Darkspear trolls though . The presence of Lard seems to imply they get along well with ogres . Although this could be an individual case . It is unknown what they think of the blood elves . They seem to willingly tolerate them and in - game don ' t express prejudice ( this could likely be a gameplay mechanic ) . In - game faction . Revantusk Tribe was a faction introduced to " World of Warcraft " in patch 1 . 5 . If a Level 60 Horde player were to complete all the quests with the Revantusk trolls , they could reach 340 / 3000 with them . However , after patch 1 . 11 , the trolls were removed as a faction and are merely to Horde players , like the Brackenwall Village ogres . Before patch 1 . 11 , there were many rumors about the future of the Revantusk trolls as players speculated on what would become of the faction . The two most popular beliefs would be that the trolls would become a Battleground faction , in combat with the Wildhammer Clan , while the other theory saw the trolls becoming a part of a new instance to be introduced to the Hinterlands . Neither rumor became reality as the faction was removed from " World of Warcraft " . The Wildhammers ended up as part of the Twin Peaks battleground but despite the great enmity between the Wildhammers and the Revantusks , the reintroduced Dragonmaw Clan takes the place as the Horde faction for unknown reasons .
