Jintha'Alor

Jintha'Alor (also spelled Jintha'alor) is a forest troll city of the located in the Hinterlands. Jintha'Alor was built by the trolls of the Amani Empire, and named after Jintha, a leader of the Amani in ancient times. It is the second largest city of the forest trolls, second only to Zul'Aman. It was ruled by the Vilebranch tribe for many years and used as a fortress to sacrifice others.
The Totem of Akil'darah can be found here. Both the Wildhammer clan and Revantusk tribe laid siege to the city, seeking to end the Vilebranch's incursions upon their land and claim vengeance for their fallen kindred. In the aftermath of this attack, the Revantusk took a step further and claimed the city for their tribe and the Horde.It's Ours Now (Horde)
==History==
Jintha'alor was ruled by the Vilebranch tribe, where they often warred against the Revantusk tribe and Wildhammer clan from within. They were ruled by Vile Priestess HexxTroll Compendium/Forest Troll Tribes, a follower of the blood god, Hakkar the Soulflayer. The Vilebranch would often prey upon the weaker Revantusk tribe to use them as sacrifices for their dark god, including one of the tribe's leaders, Elder Torntusk.Kidnapped Elder Torntusk! During the attack that claimed Elder Torntusk, the guard captain of the Revantusk, Huntsman Malkhor, was also captured. He was executed brutally, with his remains fed to wolves and oozes within the city.Separation Anxiety (quest) Adventurers of the Horde later came through and saved the Elder, killing the insidious Hitah'ya the Keeper to free the elder as well as avenge Malkhor.Recover the Key!Job Opening: Guard Captain of Revantusk Village
Jintha'alor was also used to hold the gryphon, Sharpbeak, captive. Adventurers of the Alliance aided the Wildhammer clan in freeing the gryphon so that he could reunite with his mother and father, Sharpbeak and Keenclaw; the most powerful gryphons of Aerie Peak.
The city was also the site of the Ancient Egg, a relic of Hakkar that was secured by hapless adventurers being deceived by Yeh'kinya, a follower of the Blood God.The Ancient Egg This egg would eventually be used to rebirth the Blood God himself. The altar at the top of the city was also used in an ancient ritual to create the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, which was used to summon the demigod Gahz'rilla.Ancient Tablet
===Cataclysm===
The Vilebranch continue to hold the city, though both the Revantusk Tribe and Wildhammer clan have begun a crusade to avenge their fallen as well as root the tribe from the city. The Revantusk tribe has claimed a small section by the entryway to the city, setting up a camp there with Primal Torntusk, Kotonga, Eliza Darkgrin, and a number of Revantusk Watchers. Down the road from the city, the Wildhammer have set up a camp including Doran Steelwing, Fraggar Thundermantle, Tracker Yoro, and several Wildhammer Sentries.
The Vilebranch have turned from worshipping Hakkar to worshipping the spider god, Shadra, drinking her blood as they once did with Hakkar years ago.Dark Vessels As the Witherbark tribe had years ago, the Vilebranch took over the nearby area of Shadra'Alor and prepared sacrifices within Jintha'alor to summon her. To aid this goal, they hid one of Shadra's tablets with Morta'gya the KeeperHunt the Keeper and committed a mass suicidal sacrifice atop the city.Summit of Fate
The Horde curried favor with the loa, Akil'darah, after reclaiming her idol.Kotonga#Quotes This allowed them to teleport on the eagle's winds through the tiers of the city. The Wildhammer had returned with Sharpbeak, who was now grown enough to ferry travelers and reap vengeance for their previous capture. The Revantusk dire troll, Ongo'longo, was captured by the Vilebranch and kept in their fighting pit. Adventurers freed Ongo'longo, who went on a murderous spree of revenge on his way back to his people.Ongo'longo's Revenge By the end of the bloodbath within the city, the Wildhammer and Revantusk unveiled the plot to once again revive Shadra. The Wildhammers sought to prevent her revival, or at least kill her, while the Horde wanted to allow Shadra to be revived and slain so they could claim her venom yet again.The Eye of Shadra
The Revantusk, however, claim the city for the Horde and their tribe, while the Wildhammer seemed to have no care for it in the aftermath of destruction.
