    Thoradin's Wall mystery !!

    So Thoradin's Wall was built to protect the kingdom of Arathor and its capital Strom from the Amani empire, i assume.However, the ramp going up to the top of the wall is on the Hillsbrad Foothill's side which is strange because thats where the trolls were while the humans were in the Arathi Highlands,giving the Amani more access to the wall than the humans.Which begs the question,did the humans build the wall to keep the trolls out or was it the trolls who built it to keep the humans out ?

    Possibly the ramp was a later addition.

    The trolls could have built that ramp to get over the wall.

    The humans definitely built the wall. But it is very ancient and it is likely that the ramp is a much later addition, once the troll threat was less than it had been, and a single ramp would have been easier to defend.

    I believe that because part of the wall is destroyed you got confused
    the Humans was fighting the Amani for short time

    Thoradin starts with T. Trump starts with T. Coincidence ? I think not.

    OT: given that there are no trolls in hillsbrad, but there are quite alot of them in arathi, i would say that ramp is in a good place.

    If anything I would think that the particular lore of the wall did not exist when Blizzard made the zone.

    I also expect that even if it did, Blizzard just built the wall model without thinking.

    Trump has 5 letters, what also has 5 letters? Troll. What happens when you remove the T from troll? You get roll. What also rolls? A Monk. What word can you make with Monk? Monkey. What are the last letters of Monkey? Key. How many letters are in key? 3. How many points in the illuminati? 3.

    Illuminati confirmed.

    no no
    I remember an in-game book about the wall, they may retcon the reason of the wall, but not the existing of the wall

    You obviously did not if you think the Trolls were South of Thoradin's kingdom... At best you forgot.

    All the way in Stranglethorn... That is EXTREMELY FAR AWAY! I know it is only a few minutes of flight time in-game, but in lore that is, at the least, a few weeks journey on horse-back.

    Oh yeah, I am sure the Humans are scared of a small band of Trolls. Oh no!

    Lore wise the Trolls are far stronger than Humans, with Body-regeneration, the humans were wining when they used the High-elf's magic, the trolls "every troll" was dangerous on all Humans Kingdoms until Magic become part of the War.

    Trolls cannot regenerate when they are dead in Warcraft, unlike Dungeons and Dragons.
