| + | '''Fallen Prince Galen Trollbane''' was the ruler of the human kingdom of [[Stromgarde]] prior to the Cataclysm. Galen took leadership of Stromgarde following his father's assassination shortly after the [[Third War]]. Not long after his father's death, Stromgarde came under siege by forces of the [[Syndicate]] and [[Boulderfist]] [[ogre]]s. |
||
| − | {{Warcraft II Hero}} |
||
| + | The Syndicate and Boulderfist won several victories against the weakened kingdom, and managed to occupy much of its terrain, including most of the capital city. Galen took the command of the forces of Stromgarde and has since been desperately trying to retake the ancient, now ruined lands of his people. Recognizing the vastly changed circumstances since his father's time and also acknowledging the incredible odds he faced, Galen agreed to rejoin the [[Alliance]]. |
||
| − | '''Danath Trollbane''', who may have once had the name '''Danath Dungalion''', is a member of the [[Trollbane|House of Trollbane]], the royal family of [[Stromgarde]]. During the Second War, he served as a captain in the Stromgarde militia and later as tactical advisor and second-in-command to General [[Turalyon]], the Alliance supreme commander, during the [[Alliance Expedition]] to [[Draenor]]. Since the sealing of the [[Dark Portal]], he has been the master of [[Honor Hold]], the Expedition's headquarters in [[Hellfire Peninsula]]. |
||

||
| − | With the death and corruption of Prince [[Galen Trollbane]], the heir to the throne of Stromgarde, Danath is believed by some to be the legitimate leader of the fallen kingdom, and hope for his return from [[Outland]].<ref>[[Skuerto#Quotes]]</ref> |
||
| + | Prince Galen Trollbane is the rightful heir to Stromgarde's throne, as son of Lord [[Thoras Trollbane]]. He is also the leader of the city's embattled defenders. Stromgarde's ruins include the [[Trollbane Family Crypt]], which safeguards several artifacts. Prince Galen Trollbane protects the crypt along with the rest of his city. Galen is a friendly, determined but desperate lad. However, Prince Galen Trollbane is hard-pressed to hold his city against his enemies. |
||
| + | The young man has a dark, brooding look about him. His eyes are sunken as if from a prolonged lack of sleep, and his skin is pale. He is dressed in expensive clothes with a silken cloak flowing behind him. He appears to be of noble blood and carries himself with sullen arrogance. A curved knife is sheathed at his belt. Prince Galen Trollbane still reels from the emotional shock of his father's assassination and has run himself ragged trying quickly to form patchwork alliances with other nobles. Not thinking clearly, Galen responds to any perceived insults recklessly, issuing immediate challenges to duel. If he becomes cornered in melee, Galen fights defensively until his bodyguards can come to his aid. Whenever Galen appears about to lose, he attempts to stop fighting, grudgingly issues an apology and offers some gold as compensation.<ref>''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. 88-89</ref> |

| ⚫ | |||
| − | A mercenary captain from the Stromgarde militia at the beginning of the [[Second War]], Danath was made famous for leading the armies of Stromgarde in the final fight for [[Khaz Modan]]. His status as a great general and fighter elevated him to the position of Overseer at the orcish [[internment camp]] system in [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]], based at [[New Stormwind]]. |

||
| + | Prince Galen Trollbane was a level 44 [[human]] located in [[Stromgarde Keep]] in [[Arathi Highlands]]. |
||
| − | === Beyond the Dark Portal=== |
||
| − | Danath was called to reinforce [[Nethergarde Keep]] when the Horde reopened the [[Dark Portal]]. Taking half of the standing forces in Stormwind, Danath headed out to Nethergarde where he was ambushed by the Death knights and the new Warsong Clan. Knowing that the Horde was going to win the battle, the men sacrificed themselves so Danath could warn [[Khadgar]], the wizard in charge of Nethergarde. Against his wish to stay with his men, Danath could not let their sacrifice be in vain and galloped to Nethergarde where they were under siege by the Warsong led by [[Grom Hellscream]] until they were relieved by his friend and commander General [[Turalyon]]. Danath would never forget the guilt for leading then leaving his "boys" as he called them to be slaughtered. |
||
| + | A quest chain involving Galen can be obtained by the [[Horde]] players: |
||
| − | When [[Ner’zhul]] took the [[Book of Medivh]], among other items, to Draenor, Danath joined the Alliance Expedition as second in command and the tactical advisor to General Turalyon. After taking Hellfire Citadel, Danath led half of the Expedition along with the [[Kurdran Wildhammer]]'s Gryphon Riders and half of [[Alleria]]'s rangers led by [[Thalressar]] who became his advisor after Ner'zhul while the rest went after the items. During the chase, Kurdran was struck down by Ner'zhul. Enraged with the loss of his friend, Danath relentlessly pursued the Horde and was determined to launch a full attack at once on [[Auchindoun]] where the Horde had taken refuge but at the urging by Thalressar he quickly calmed down. |
||
| + | *He dropped {{loot|Common|Sigil of Trollbane}} for the quest {{questlong|Horde|42|Sigil of Trollbane}}. |
||
| + | A Horde aligned troll named [[Zengu]] is seeking the sword [[Trol'kalar]], legendary bane of trolls and heirloom of the Trollbane family, so that it can be used against the trolls of [[Zul'Gurub]]. The sword has been sealed in Thoras Trollbane's tomb since his death, and opening the tomb requires several sigils that are guarded by Stromgarde's fiercest warriors, the last one being guarded by Galen himself. After stealing the other sigils from their guardians, agents of the Horde must storm Galen's headquarters in the ruins of Stromgarde Keep, and eventually strike Galen down in order to steal his sigil (leaving the line of Ignaeus Trollbane broken). Not only would the Trol'kalar be stolen, but Galen's death would leave the future of the Kingdom of Stromgarde uncertain. |
||
| − | As they waited, Thalressar and Danath encountered the arakkoa [[Grizzik]]. Learning that Kurdran was still alive, Danath quickly followed Grizzik as he led them into the tunnels of the Auchindoun. There Danath met the draenei priest [[Nemuraan]]. Convincing the draenei that they were going to rid the ancient temple of the orcs, Nemuraan aided them by calling the ancient draenei spirits and leading them into the tunnels and with the aid of his newfound allies, Danath led the Alliance against the orcs there where the humans, elves and dwarves would fight for the first time along side the draenei who would one day be members of the Alliance. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | After rescuing Kurdran, Danath comes face to face with the renowned orc chieftain [[Kilrogg Deadeye]] who barred the way to Ner'zhul. After fighting a fierce but honourable duel, Danath slays the great orc warrior but not before Ner'zhul was gone. |
||
| + | In ''Cataclysm'', Galen Trollbane is resurrected by the [[Forsaken]] by the order of [[Sylvanas Windrunner]]. Quest givers at the aptly-named [[Galen's Fall]], a Forsaken encampment near [[Thoradin's Wall]], indicate that [[Zengu]] - who had obtained Trol'kalar after agents of the Horde had taken the sigils of Stromgarde and killed Galen and his men - was assassinated when he attempted to leave Arathi, and the sigils and sword retaken. Galen himself now gives the quests to take Trol'kalar for the Forsaken. |

||
| − | Parting his new friends, Danath rejoined Turalyon and lay siege to the Black Temple where Ner'zhul was opening new portals. When the planet was starting to tear itself apart, Danath and his friends defended Khadgar against overwhelming forces while the mage close the Portal. Then with the rest of the expedition, he disappeared into one of rifts Ner’zhul created to escape the dying Draenor. |

Honor Hold was left to its own devices in the battle against the Burning Legion and the fel orcs of [[Magtheridon]], until [[Kazzak the Supreme|Lord Kazzak]] reopened the Portal decades later. Danath, along with the rest of the Alliance forces, was presumed to be dead by those that remained on Azeroth. It turned out that many of them were still alive, including Danath. Now, Danath has welcomed the much-needed supplies and reinforcements from Stormwind and Nethergarde. |

Fallen Prince Galen Trollbane was the ruler of the human kingdom of Stromgarde prior to the Cataclysm. Galen took leadership of Stromgarde following his father's assassination shortly after the Third War. Not long after his father's death, Stromgarde came under siege by forces of the Syndicate and Boulderfist ogres.
The Syndicate and Boulderfist won several victories against the weakened kingdom, and managed to occupy much of its terrain, including most of the capital city. Galen took the command of the forces of Stromgarde and has since been desperately trying to retake the ancient, now ruined lands of his people. Recognizing the vastly changed circumstances since his father's time and also acknowledging the incredible odds he faced, Galen agreed to rejoin the Alliance.
Background
Prince Galen Trollbane is the rightful heir to Stromgarde's throne, as son of Lord Thoras Trollbane. He is also the leader of the city's embattled defenders. Stromgarde's ruins include the Trollbane Family Crypt, which safeguards several artifacts. Prince Galen Trollbane protects the crypt along with the rest of his city. Galen is a friendly, determined but desperate lad. However, Prince Galen Trollbane is hard-pressed to hold his city against his enemies.
The young man has a dark, brooding look about him. His eyes are sunken as if from a prolonged lack of sleep, and his skin is pale. He is dressed in expensive clothes with a silken cloak flowing behind him. He appears to be of noble blood and carries himself with sullen arrogance. A curved knife is sheathed at his belt. Prince Galen Trollbane still reels from the emotional shock of his father's assassination and has run himself ragged trying quickly to form patchwork alliances with other nobles. Not thinking clearly, Galen responds to any perceived insults recklessly, issuing immediate challenges to duel. If he becomes cornered in melee, Galen fights defensively until his bodyguards can come to his aid. Whenever Galen appears about to lose, he attempts to stop fighting, grudgingly issues an apology and offers some gold as compensation.[3]
World of Warcraft
Galen pre-Cataclysm
Prince Galen Trollbane was a level 44 human located in Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands.
A quest chain involving Galen can be obtained by the Horde players:
- He dropped [Sigil of Trollbane] for the quest
[42] Sigil of Trollbane.
[42] A Horde aligned troll named Zengu is seeking the sword Trol'kalar, legendary bane of trolls and heirloom of the Trollbane family, so that it can be used against the trolls of Zul'Gurub. The sword has been sealed in Thoras Trollbane's tomb since his death, and opening the tomb requires several sigils that are guarded by Stromgarde's fiercest warriors, the last one being guarded by Galen himself. After stealing the other sigils from their guardians, agents of the Horde must storm Galen's headquarters in the ruins of Stromgarde Keep, and eventually strike Galen down in order to steal his sigil (leaving the line of Ignaeus Trollbane broken). Not only would the Trol'kalar be stolen, but Galen's death would leave the future of the Kingdom of Stromgarde uncertain.
Cataclysm
In Cataclysm, Galen Trollbane is resurrected by the Forsaken by the order of Sylvanas Windrunner. Quest givers at the aptly-named Galen's Fall, a Forsaken encampment near Thoradin's Wall, indicate that Zengu - who had obtained Trol'kalar after agents of the Horde had taken the sigils of Stromgarde and killed Galen and his men - was assassinated when he attempted to leave Arathi, and the sigils and sword retaken. Galen himself now gives the quests to take Trol'kalar for the Forsaken.
