Ignaeus Trollbane

Ignaeus Trollbane, or simply The Trollbane, was a legendary Arathorian warrior that was the friend and close ally of Emperor-King Thoradin. Wielder of the dread sword, Trol'kalar, a special blade enchanted to kill trolls in as little as a single swipe, Ignaeus was one of the greatest warriors known to human history. Leader and High General of Arathor's military, The Trollbane led the warriors of Arathor during the Troll Wars and held the line as the one hundred human magi unleashed their torrent of energy alongside their elven teachers at the Battle of Alterac Mountains.

A daring cavalier and shrewd warrior, Ignaeus was seen as the right hand of the Emperor, serving loyally from the then chieftain's ambitious plans, to the founding of Strom and up until his death. It is unknown who died first, Ignaeus or Thoradin, but it is known that Ignaeus' bloodline continued to serve the House of Lothar for generations. So deep was their loyalty to Arathi, that even when their close allies the Lothars departed to form the Kingdom of Azeroth, the Trollbanes remained to guard what had become of Strom. From Ignaeus' bloodline, the House of Trollbane became kings of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, dedicated to upholding the legacy of their forefathers and defending the once great heart of the fallen empire.

Ignaeus is buried alongside the other Trollbanes and Lothar kings under the Sanctum of Stromgarde.
