** Even some of the Pandaren are guilty of this. Some Pandaria natives look down on Pandaren born on the Wandering Isle or those of their own land who develop a wanderlust or "chasing the turtle." Some go so far as to call these pandaren [[FantasticSlur "wild dogs"]].

* BilingualBonus: The monks begin to call Vol'jin "Vol'''jian''" as he starts to train with them. Chen states that the word "jian" has many meanings, mostly about greatness. It started out towards Vol'jin's blunders in his training, but would come to mean more.

* HealingFactor: Somewhat downplayed; Vol'jin has one but it still takes a fairly long time to recover from the wounds that almost killed him. This is actually something of a plot point, as the book seems to imply the trolls' regeneration ability is tied to their worship of the Loa, their gods. [[spoiler: Vol'jin begins to realize he has been doubting himself and not thinking of himself as a true troll, and once he gets past this, his wounds heal faster.]]

Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde
Warchief Garrosh's assassins strike at Vol'jin, leaving him at death's door. But fate smiles on the wounded Darkspear leader when renowned brewmaster Chen Stormstout transports him to the safety of an isolated mountain monastery. There, Vol'jin wrestles with old hatreds smoldering between the Alliance and the Horde as he struggles to recover alongside a mysterious human soldier.
Yet this is only the beginning of Vol'jin's worries. Soon, he becomes embroiled in an invasion of Pandaria launched by the Zandalari, revered trolls driven by dreams of conquest and power. This ancient tribe offers Vol'jin a chance to seize the glory that is the birthright of all trolls... an offer made even more tempting after Garrosh's brazen treachery.
Amid these troubling events, Vol'jin is rocked by intense visions depicting his race's grand history. As he questions where his loyalties lie, he knows he must make a choice about his own destiny that could save his people or damn them to languish under Garrosh's heel.
