The Shatterspear tribe split off from the Gurubashi Empire after the defeat of Hakkar the Soulflayer. The various tribes claimed territories in the vast jungles of Stranglethorn Vale but quickly began fighting one another.
The Shatterspear tribe has since settled at the northeast edge of Darkshore, a continent away from Stranglethorn. Highly reclusive and apparently uninterested in claiming further territory, the Shatterspear trolls live in a small village that is almost entirely surrounded by jagged hills. Visiting the secluded village is a difficult endeavor, and a number of adventurers have fallen to their deaths in attempting to scale the steep hills around the Shatterspears' home.
The trolls' purpose in living here is unknown at this point in time. Certainly it is a strange location for any troll to choose to live: surrounded by mountains and, beyond that, the trolls' ancient enemies: night elves.[1]
Cataclysm
The Shatterspear tribe and their village have recently become accessible and are the subject of a genocide perpetrated by night elven forces.
It is revealed during the questing experience in Darkshore that Garrosh Hellscream has recruited the Shatterspear tribe into the Horde. It is also revealed that the Horde plans for the Shatterspear Tribe to attack from the north, while the armies of Orgrimmar will push from Ashenvale. [2]
The tribe comes into conflict with the night elven forces during the Darkshore questing experience.
