Addendum to this:
The Horde fears the moment the combined Gnomish people of Gnomeregan and Mechagon start to fully throw their lot in the betterment of the Alliance as a whole.
Gnomes and Mecha-Gnomes working together would make Mechagon a true bastion of technology even most Goblin Cartels combined would not be able to match, let alone their ability to mass-produce airships and submarines should the Gnomes ever opt to start producing those in Mechagon.
Edit:
For the Alliance, Bel’ameth has actually become a very important trade outpost; serving as their main port into trade on the Dragon Isles, this give the Alliance better access to trade with the locals on the Dragon Isle’s, aswell.
The Kaldorei on the other are making sure no Horde-aligned race is capable of growing a port city on those shores themselves, as rumours of mysterious accidents and explosions keep happening to those that try, alongside rumours of mysterious green-cladded warriors and giant bears wreaking havoc.

On the topic of air forces, the recent additions to them on both faction are a disturbance for the Order of the Cloud Serpent as well. Mostly accustomed to fighting mantid swarms, Zandalari riders and mogu-enslaved cloud serpents, they have no practical experience against the flying fortresses both Horde and Alliance have only grown keener at employing over the decade past. And with there being no movement towards dismantling the colony towns in Krasarang, one can seriously wonder whether their original purpose as military bases would be remembered someday.

Unfortunately the recent Exploring Azeroth book covers the current status of Kul Tiras. It’s currently the first and only nation to have fully recovered from the Fourth War, and they’ve rebuilt their fleet along with training a new generation of cadets. Katherine lets Lor’themar know this as a not-so-subtle threat to the Horde Council that Kul Tiras is ready for another war, and they’ll be watching them for any slip ups. They abide the armistice, but have not forgiven the Horde. Brennadam remembers.
Also Kul Tiras’s economy is churning strong. With all of the corrupt Ashvane middlemen removed who were skimming profits, the factories are more profitable than before. After the Great Houses disassembled Ashvane’s holdings for parts and sold them off, many of the factory workers in Kul Tiras collectively bought their factories. This lead to an increase in productivity due to safer working conditions causing less accidents that slowed down production in the past. Rebuilding a nation is good for the economy.
That used to be my headcanon for years, but now the book confirmed it as canon. Kul Tiras bros just stay winning…

Much like Illidan’s loyal demons sustained via the Reliquary of Souls, the repentant man’ari eredar are subject to a sort of fel detox that, among other things, reverses their truly demonic nature. They may no longer reap the full “benefits” but neither are they vulnerable to some trifling gnome summoning them or being hit by a banishment spell.
This explains why their hands and hooves lack the characteristic fel cracks and burns along with the prominent warped head crests. They’ll never turn blue again, but the fire in their veins has been drawn out.

Thats a pretty good Headcanon!
Although I still wish we get these cracks and a Light version for LFD as customisation options!
