Southshore Slaughter

The Southwatch Slaughter is the name attributed to the ill-advised attempt at settling in Stranglethorn Vale.

It began when several surveyors and explorers walking into Stranglethorn Vale. After a short period, they were accosted by the Ragetusk Warband. There was a brief demand of intent and a short altercation, during which one of the scouts was forced to kill the other. The remaining people were let go and told never to return.

Despite the initial warnings, humans decided they wished to settle in troll territory. After a second, larger group ventured into the jungle with intent to set up a home, the Ragetusk Warband took offense that their generous gesture of letting the previous group live was so disregarded. This led to an extremely one-sided beachside battle.

Many of the Southshore explorers were slain, though several escaped and some were even let go with varying levels of injury. No attempt to settle in Stranglethorn has been made since.
