I have a couple ideas, with varying amounts of likelyhood.
- Light Heel Turn
–Earlier in the expansion Sylvanas gets captured by the Aliance, with teh assistance of Saurfang n co. Who succeed taking Orgrimmar and all is good, until they realise it’s not.
–The war is not over and there are parties on both sides greatly discontent with the idea of peace talks. Kaldorei, Gilneans, Forsaken and Mag’har very prominently.The sides that want to make peace have to work, with a heavy baggadge of at times irreconcilable demands.
–And the judgement of Sylvanas Windrunner is a problem. Imprisonment is ineffective since she won’t die of old age and they presume she doesn’t care for people outside herself really. Sentence of death would be seen as mild and counterproductive, because crossing that threshold ahs not even slowed her down in the past really. But then the Lighforged(and perhaps other light aligned people) come up with a solution, which would either see her become a servant of the light or destroyed. That leads to various people on both Aliance and Horde voicing their issues with it, because where do you draw the line then?
–The raid would start out in Stormwind and later move on to a Dimensional Fortress, with the goal of freeing Sylvanas/saving her from the pitched fate. Those who are not loyal do it because of a belief that not even someone like her should suffer such fate.
–Future after that people are much more weary of the Light and it farther sends us down the direction of facing all comers no matter, wich side of the cosmic spectrum they are aligned with.
- Journey into the Shadowlands/Ny’alotha(either is fine)
–N’zoth and the other old gods are free and we are losing bad. Faction tensions are worse than ever. However Sylvanas has made an ally of Azshara, at least to the end of slaying N’zoth, by cutting her bond to N’zoth, because she was mindcontrolled. While Jaina has assumed the role of the Guardian of Tirisfall.
–In the patch Sylvanas would lead a small team into the setting, with the goal of learning, how to pernamently put down an old god and get some sweet weapons in the process, while Lor’themar holds the warcheif chair. The Aliance tries to stop her, but ultimately fails. And when we return it was too late, because of the Aliance. Leading to the next expansion, where we fight to take back our world from the reborn Black Empire, because Nozdormu sacrificed himself to give us a chance to do it.
- Left field Spacestuff
–We need to find a way to kill N’zoth before he fully breaks his seal, but are out of options and time. But a wounded Mana’ri crashes through the cieling to inform the Horde Leadership that someone is coming and passes out. A Void Titan has wrecked the pantheon and is rampaging, because the divided Legion could no longer find and prevent it. So the Blelves and Mag’har steal the Tempest Keep(again) and travel to a distant world, where they find an uneasy aliance and mutual respect in fight against an old god who has never been inprisoned to begin with. bla bla Red Eredar Allied race for the Horde(because i want red eredar damn it! this thread is about wishful thinking!) and giving us a solution how to fight N’zoth.
- Meanwhile Aliance does something… probably oppose them, with an Ilidiggle storyhook or something.
Those are 3 scenarios i kinda like atm… there are parts that could fit between the three.
