Alternative lore discussion: Horde ceases to exist and the Troll empire takes his place

[Wimbert-die-aldor]

I proposed something similar a while back, although the scenario was more the Horde falling apart than losing militarily:

Idle thought: Integrating the Horde into the Zandalari empire. (spoilers included)

As the lore talk confirmed once again yesterday, BfA is another addon about the same identity crisis that led to SoO. Blizzard is convinced that the underlying issues haven’t been solved in the slightest, and that the Horde needs to face them openly again, and find a common perspective to move forward. The honor vs “pragmatism” issue needs to be resolved, we are told. At the same time we can see an interesting thing on the PTR data. The Zandalari seem to join the Horde as equal partners, and no…

So… I obviously am all for it. Especially since I think the Zandalari are a nice middle ground between the opposite poles of the Horde.

I’m not into destroying cities, though, and would hope OG would be left standing anyway.
