High treason? Sylvanas was torturing Derek and brainwashing him for an impossible asassination mission (which we know is true based on Jaina’s reaction to seeing him). Baine freed this innocent man being totured by the state due to the insanity of its leader. How is this “High Treason”? Why should be be executed for holding the Horde up to the most basic moral standard? If anything, his act helped the Horde, as Jaina may now be more reluctant to harm them.
Although I’d say that some might argue against Baine because of the death of Rastakhan and the fact that he told Queen Talanji that she should seek negotiations right at the funeral of her dad.
Eh…not the best time for such talks, Baine…I’m just sayin’ mate.
However, even Queen Talanji is uneasy about the force raising of Derek Proudmoore, which makes me think that revenge against the Alliance should have been done on Talanji’s terms…not Sylvanas’.
But the clear fact does remain that any forms of vengeance against the Alliance should have been done on Queen Talanji’s terms.
She is the Queen of Zuldazar and she makes that quite clear to Sylvanas, which is fantastic. We need a leader with a backbone.
I’d say that crying for bloody vengeance against the killers of the dead guy involved, is still heaps ahead in ‘politeness’ than arguing for surrender regarding said killers.
The grieving family may welcome cries of vengeance for their loss. But hearing about submitting to the murderers…
But that still doesn’t sit well with Queen Talanji and she’s the priority character in all of this.
What happened after the battle should have been done on Queen Talanji’s terms. Not Nathanos. Not Sylvanas. Not anybody other race of the Horde, barring the Zandalari.
I mean, sure, if you’re that Bloodthirsty and cold-hearted, sure. Like Nathanos kek.
I’m not saying either is good, but there’s a better time and place. It’s all about courtesy. I would neither enjoy talk of strategies, movements, vengeance and even peace negotiation at that time.
They were literally next to his body with Talanji within earshot.
And two friends approach you at his funeral. The first one hugs you firmly and whispers that he will help you hunt down the ones that killed him and make them pay.
The second one approaches you tentatively and says that maybe it would be time to approach submissively said murderers and ask them to not kill any other member of your family.
The former obviously, but if the former starts doing something that sits uneasy with me, such as raising Derek Proudmoore, that is only symbolic on what Yazma forced on Rezan, then I will question the former.
