It's a common practice in EQ, because they don't want to "break" old stuff when they add new stuff. They did the same with Chardok 2.0 (goblins got moved out to Frontier Mountains), LoY (trolls got moved out of Grobb when the Frogloks took it over), etc.

Well it was a big part of the story in this case though, they put a big theme on this lore, as it was changing origional bad level design.
Instead of admitting that they blew it with that zone, they said, the new Splitpaw Gnolls eradicated the curse of the the Tesch Mas Gnolls (or visa versa?) that were delving too deeply into dark magics, and expunged their leaders and their and in their escape, they now roam the south karanas.
Not saying there isnt story for chardook, as this came months after launch, it was a very big deal, this inspired a lot of people to think the entire world of norrath was going to be a living changing place with GM interactions and stuff, annnnnd then that never happened haha
But at the time, it was no small change, it was an event!
