while, the Darkspear trolls lived here, but when the Kul Tiras fleet attacked their land, they had to flee. They evacuated with the help of the Mok'Nathal Rexxar.
After the Third War, when the Horde settled in Durotar, Thrall made these islands off the southern tip available to the trolls. Recently, a Darkspear troll named Zalazane decided that the trolls did not need the orcs as allies and began practicing necromancy. He drove the Horde-loyal trolls off of the islands, converted followers, and created the zombies who now inhabit the Echo Isles.
