After the [[Battle of Mount Hyjal]], the [[troll]]s settled on the [[Echo Isles]] off the coast of [[Durotar]], but Rokhan remained in [[Orgrimmar]] as a scout for Thrall. When [[Rexxar]] came to Orgrimmar with [[Mogrin]]'s report, Thrall asked Rokhan to accompany the [[beastmaster]]'s trek through the wilds. |

| + | Rokhan and Rexxar found [[humans]] on the coast of Durotar after they got to the observatory in [[Gar'thok|Gar'thok's Outpost]], and when they reported to Thrall, he sent them back to find the outpost ruined, and the humans quite hostile. |
||
| − | The Kirin Tor is ruled by a ruling council of six archmagi. Beneath the ruling council is a larger council of archmagi, each of whom is given tasks as the council see fits. Magi are the lowest members of the Kirin Tor, and answer to the archmagi. The "Head of the Kirin Tor", [[Antonidas]], was a member of the ruling council and was seen as "Kirin Tor's true ruler, and the Sect's public face".{{Cite|APG|155}} |
||
| + | Rokhan began to worry about his own people on the Echo Isles, and thought that perhaps they should come to the mainland to avoid any danger. Thrall agreed, and sent Rokhan and his band to the Echo Isles to warn [[Vol'jin]] and see them off the island. |
||
| − | The Kirin Tor is also referred to as the '''Magus Senate''' or '''Magocracy''' of Dalaran, which is is divided into two sections, the ''council'' and the ''archmagi'', each of which is itself divided into two sections. The councils are comprised of the ''ruling council'', the ''Six'', and the ''Twelve'' archmagi under them. - the Six being based on seniority, the Twelve elected (usually votes go based on magical power). The Archmages are divided into the ''Mage's Union'' and the ''Sorcerer's League''. The Six and the Twelve do not always agree, this may lead to cases where the right hand does not know what the left is doing, though the internal political disputes have never resulted in violence. |
||
| + | After destroying the battleships that blocked their path and lighting signal fires for the outlying village, Rokhan and Rexxar were sent to a summit in Thrall's place. When they were ambushed, Thrall, hoping to finish things peacefully, sent Rokhan and his friends to [[Theramore Island]] to secretly parlay with [[Jaina Proudmoore]]. |

| − | One of the tasks of the Kirin Tor was to safeguard and wield the [[Eye of Dalaran]] in defence of their city. However it was captured by the Horde for Ner'zhul. |

Finally, the human and [[orc]] forces clashed in a titanic battle at [[Tidefury Cove]], and when the orcs emerged victorious, they chased the humans back to Theramore. Rokhan helped to lead the [[A Blaze of Glory#Theramore City|raid]] on Theramore, and battled Daelin Proudmoore's elite forces beside Rexxar. After Proudmoore's defeat and the end of the war, Rokhan was honored by his people and Thrall's. |

Biography
Old Hatreds
Formerly led by Sen'jin on the Broken Isles, Rokhan joined Thrall and his Horde when he saved them from the Sea Witch and led them to Kalimdor. After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the trolls settled on the Echo Isles off the coast of Durotar, but Rokhan remained in Orgrimmar as a scout for Thrall. When Rexxar came to Orgrimmar with Mogrin's report, Thrall asked Rokhan to accompany the beastmaster's trek through the wilds.
Rokhan and Rexxar found humans on the coast of Durotar after they got to the observatory in Gar'thok's Outpost, and when they reported to Thrall, he sent them back to find the outpost ruined, and the humans quite hostile.
Rokhan began to worry about his own people on the Echo Isles, and thought that perhaps they should come to the mainland to avoid any danger. Thrall agreed, and sent Rokhan and his band to the Echo Isles to warn Vol'jin and see them off the island.
After destroying the battleships that blocked their path and lighting signal fires for the outlying village, Rokhan and Rexxar were sent to a summit in Thrall's place. When they were ambushed, Thrall, hoping to finish things peacefully, sent Rokhan and his friends to Theramore Island to secretly parlay with Jaina Proudmoore.
With Jaina's aid, they discovered the invaders were led by Jaina's own father Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, who was determined to wipe out the Horde in Durotar. Rokhan battled alongside Rexxar as they hastily traveled around the Barrens enlisting aid from their allies.
