The Zandalari Troll Wars, also known as the Zandalari Wars,[2] were local conflicts fought about 12,000 ago[3]. The Zandalari and the Mogu boasted the most powerful empires in Azeroth, and were allied with each other. The Mogu warlords, who ruled Pandaria, kept the Pandaren, the Hozen and the Jinyu as their slaves, along with the Grummles, a slave race they created. When the Pandaren succeeded in leading a revolution, the Zandalari displayed their allegiance to their Mogu allies by attacking the new Pandaren Empire.
The Zandalari numbers were vast, and their bat riders fought in such a way the pandaren had no counter to until Jiang used a cloud serpent to strike them from the sky. The Zandalari's assault lasted several years, even bringing their dreaded dinosaurs into the fight. During the Zandalari invasion of the Jade Forest, more cloud serpents were trained to bear riders, and the newly-formed Order of the Cloud Serpent turned the tide of the war.[2]
