A lesson from Akama

We all know the Horde leadership is taking them down a dark path…and that is where Akama found himself after helping install Illidan as ruler of Outland.

Akama was wise enough to know he backed the wrong side but didn’t act right away. So perhaps we are being overly harsh on those who seem to go along with Sylvannas, perhaps they are just waiting for the right moment to strike. Although i have my doubts about that.

Akama’s forces were massively outnumbered and he didn’t have the strength to act right away…but he timed it well and was invaluable in taking down Illidan. The Horde leaders aren’t at the massive disadvantage Akama was…yet they haven’t struck.

Wasn’t Illidan the reason ehy the burning Legion was defeated?

No, not at that time. At that time he was doing some really despicable things. Not sure if that is retconned or not to be honest. However when that video was made Illidan was ruling as a Tyrant and was barely a step up from the burning legion.

You have to keep in mind this was before they decided to give Illidan are redemption story. So at this point he is evil as they come.

While I agree hes still pretty damn awesome in WoD.

Kek, a lesson from Akama. Good one. I just can’t wait for Sylvanas to be white-washed like Illidan.

I can’t wait for something like this to hit us next expansion:

I wept when I touched your consciousness in the Great Dark, mortal. For I saw her fall, and I saw you, your shadow casting a dark pall over her broken body. I felt hatred in your heart as it corrupted your mind.

It was not Light’s Heart, but you, that needed preparation. Now you know the truth. Are you prepared to do what must be done to save your world and all others?

When the time is right, I will call upon you to begin the hunt for Sylvanas’s soul.

Her rebirth will be the story of your redemption.

Oh, if you didn’t kill Sylvanas, you get this:

Though you did not strike a blow against her, you were complicit in her fall.

I showed you Sylvanas’s life so that you would understand why she fought and made the choices that she made. Yours was the vessel that needed preparation.

If the hatred and doubt in your heart has subsided, take your place at the side of the Light. Soon I will call upon you as we begin the hunt for Sylvanas’s soul.

But Demon Hinters got a dialogue too, where Xe’ra said that they’ve done everything right.

That’s for the players who picked the Sylvanas option in the Saurfang questline.

Forgive me, noble soul, veteran of Brennadam. I mislead you. Light’s Heart was not the vessel that required preparation, it was yours.

You, who sacrificed everything for your world, and served your mistress dutifully until the end. These memories will serve to strengthen your resolve. Look to them when the dark temptations of not killing civilians surrounds you and let them grant you the strength to resist and rise against the corrupters.

We will save Sylvanas and once more you will battle at the side of your Dark Lady for the fate of all worlds.

We just have to keep repeating how bad it would be to have a Sylvanas redemption arc. Maybe Blizzard will not do it.

MAYBE.

My eyes just glazed over trying to read that. The worst part is, I could see it happening.

If Sylvannas gets any sort of redemption arc…i vote Exterminatus on Azeroth

I vote exterminatus on stormwind to end the human potential meme for the greater good. Guel’a.

This is the truth.

Jealous much? Slave of the corpse emperor.

With the Endgoal of destroying the Legion, so it was all FOR THE GREATER GOOD!
We just didn’t know back then and fought him because we were stupid…
At least that’s what the Lightbulb said before he blew it up :stuck_out_tongue:

The Dragonmaw orcs and Naga were under his command, he had the Naga in fo coilfang trying to deny everyone else water and the dragon maw attempting ti enslave Netherwing . He was not good at all…however i think maybe those things just vanished from the timeline… nice job Bronzeflight…
