Even so, they could not shield the rest of the continent from widespread upheaval. The ground immediately beyond the Zandalari's shield was drawn underwater when Kalimdor broke into separate landmasses. When at last the [[Sundering of the world|Sundering]] was over, the Zandalari saw that their home had become an island. |

| − | == Culture == |
||
| − | [[Troll]]s dominate Zandalar, all trolls, from jungle to ice, consider Zandalar their homeland. It is neutral territory for their kind, so trolls don’t battle each other when on Zandalar. The same courtesy doesn’t extend toward other races, though, and Zandalar’s trolls are a wicked and voodoo-worshipping bunch who delight in slaying their enemies and devouring their remains. As such, not even [[goblin]] merchants are safe on this island, and visitors face stalking, axe- and spear-wielding danger from every green shadow. |

||
| − | Every 6 years, trolls from all tribes from all over the world congregate in Zandalar to discuss matters that affect all trolls. Desert and ice trolls rub shoulders with jungle and [[forest troll]]s. They meet at [[Zuldazar]], their capital city (which looks like a mountain.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most of the native trolls here are [[jungle troll]]s, though [[ice troll]]s live atop [[Mount Mugamba]]’s snowy peak. The trolls here are bigger, stronger and nastier than all other trolls (well almost--the [[Drakkari]] of [[Northrend]] are a bit bigger). [[King Rastakhan]], an ancient and formidable witch doctor and keeper of troll lore, rules from Zuldazar. [[Troll]]s often have trouble working with each other, despite the conferences on Zandalar.{{Cite|LoM|81}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Geography == |
||
| − | Zandalar is tropical and lush. Mount Mugamba is by far the highest peak on the island, rising from its center. Troll ziggurats, the domains of troll [[shaman]]s, [[priest]]s and [[witch doctor]]s, are scattered throughout the jungle, as are troll totems and huts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Zandalar boasts impressive wildlife as well, and is a prime hunting ground. Bright fish, hermit crabs, birds and monkeys dwell in the waters or jungle. In addition, more interesting prey attracts the discerning hunter: [[tiger]]s, [[hydra]]s, [[lion]]s and [[couatl]]. A few [[makrura]] inhabit the area as well. Warm weather and rain are constant (except on Mugamba, where the rain turns to snow).{{Cite|LoM|81}} |

Revision as of 11:16, 26 June 2011
Forums: Village pump → The RPG dilemma
I checked around and didn't find anything about the last news about the RPG, and how to proceed. As you know, CDev questions 2 said the RPG was not canon. Before WP becomes a complete mess with people removing, people tagging or people making new sections, I think we need a policy.
This is my take on it:
- Small lines integrated into something bigger: references should be enough.
- Small lines not integrated into something bigger: moved to trivia: "In the RPG blablabla, although it may not be canon".
- Medium texts that can act as standalone: Moved to a "In the RPG" section with a RPG-section tag.
- Articles that are 90% RPG: bring back the RPG tag in the first line of the article, so people know it's from the RPG without needing to check sources one by one.
Well, that's my suggestion. Waiting for general consensus before everyone starts to do what they want. Would be nice if this was linked as a sitenotice, so everyone is aware.--Lon-ami (talk) 11:08, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
