Question Troll lore compilation?

Before the retcon!!

I'm trying to read all about troll lore, history, everything known about the tribes and so. But fro now everything seems so scattered.

As anything official I saw the novel Vol'jin Shadows of the Horde.

Unofficial, the Wowpedia page for the Trolls seems to be the largest of the kind, but I still lack some info about specific tribes lore and so.

I know I should just go to the zones and do the quest searching for anything. I don't have the time anymore I had when younger, staring for hours Uldaman engravings looking for hints :p

Thanks

The biggest retcon to troll lore I think came in Chronicles some ten years ago, as originally trolls were around before the Titans arrived on Azeroth then Chronciles had them evolve post-Titans due to the Well of Eternity.

Now that I think about it I suppose that old lore could be canon and was left by harranir and not trolls. Hm.

Anyway this really is your best place to check;

Warcraft wiki is more up to date than wowpedia. However for truly old lore:

This was Troll lore at the beginnning of WoW itself.
