| abstract | - Janzama was a Witch Doctor and second in command to the tribeleader; Ana'thek. The Skullsplitters were always in conflict with the tribes of Stranglethorn vale, it was a war they were unlikely to win. Word then reached the tribe that their old enemies, the Darkspear tribe, had increased severely in power after joining the Horde. The Skullsplitters themselves stood at the brink of total annihilation. No one questioned Ana'thek. Janzama, who was Ana’thek’s Witch Doctor and advisor, had grown tired of the endless struggle that only resulted uncountable casualties, both for themselves and for their rival tribes. Janzama asked his leader to change their ways and form an Alliance with the Horde and seek peace with the Darkspear. Ana’thek did not listen to his Witch Doctor, he blindly waved off his request and continued his delusional rule, the thought that the Skullsplitters were the strongest of all stuck in his mind. Janzama never spoke about the matter with his leader again, but he soon realized that there were more trolls in the Skullsplitter tribe who understood and followed his vision. As the months passed, Janzama gathered followers in the shadows, away from the gaze of Ana'thek. Janzama's plan was to gather enough people to overthrow Ana'thek and declare himself the new chief. However, as Janzama’s followers grew in numbers, his true intentions became more and more difficult to hide from Ana'thek. Eventually, Ana'thek saw what Janzama have been doing behind his back. Before Janzama was able to organise a revolt, Ana'thek executed Janzama publicly for all Skullsplitters to see. This act made many of the followers of Janzama return into Ana’thek’s fold. Ana'thek ordered his loyal subjects to him to slaughter any troll who stood against him. In a matter of days, Janzama's followers were only a handful. Those who were able to escape death were sent into exile.
