No more warchiefs for the horde

So it is now decided that the horde will not have a warchief anymore but a council.
Do you guys think this is a good idea for the story not having a single strong leader for the horde or will it be better with more voices to lead us forward?

Lor’themar: The Alliance has sent word. They have agreed to the armistice. This bitter war is finally over.
Baine: At last we can begin to heal our wounded Earth Mother… and the wounded Horde as well.
Lor’themar: One question remains. Who will serve as warchief? Perhaps, you, Thrall, would–
Thrall: No. I told Saurfang I would not lead the Horde again.
Thrall: But perhaps the question is not who will become warchief… but whether there should be one at all.
Lor’themar: Though the Horde has changed through the years–for good or ill–our people have always looked to a warchief to guide us forward.
Baine: That legacy must end. The war nearly cost us everything. There is no place for a warchief in a time of peace.
Thrall: It is true–the Horde has changed. Our ranks have grown, and new voices have stepped forth to lead.
Thrall: This is what makes us strong. All of us, building a new future–together.

Rokhan: Since da death of Vol’jin, da Darkspear been lookin’ ta me ta guide dem.
Rokhan: I been fightin’ for dem a long, long time… but dat don’t mean I deserve ta be deir chieftain.
Baine: I felt much the same when my father died. It happened suddenly, and I feared that I was unprepared to take his place.
Baine: But I was ready, just as you are. You proved that in Zuldazar and at Stromgarde. The Darkspear have faith in you, and so do I.
Rokhan: Heh. Ya best be stoppin’ da flattery, Baine, before it be goin’ ta me head.
Rokhan: But… da Darkspear do be needin’ a leader. A voice on da council. And if it gotta be me… den it be me.
Baine: Trust your judgment, Rokhan. It has led you this far.
Rokhan: It be havin’ a lotta help. From da Darkspear, from da loa… and from da Horde.

This part below is extra spicy :smirk:

Lor’themar: Thank you again for leading our forces in Nazjatar alongside me, Thalyssra. Your insight and courage were key to our victory.
First Arcanist: It was an honor, Lor’themar. I am relieved the war is finally over. Now you have no excuse to refuse my invitation to visit Suramar.
Lor’themar: Well, uh… I have been away from Silvermoon for some time. No doubt my people require–
First Arcanist: Halduron has assured me that Quel’Thalas is quite secure. And Rommath said that if you put up a fuss, he will teleport you to the Nighthold himself.
Lor’themar: It seems my closest allies are conspiring against me!
First Arcanist: Would it really take a conspiracy for you to spend time alone with me?
Lor’themar: No, my lady. It would be my pleasure.
First Arcanist: A suitably chivalrous answer, Regent Lord. There may be hope for you yet! Perhaps I can even teach you to relish the… simpler joys of life.
Lor’themar: Perhaps you can, First Arcanist. Perhaps you can.
First Arcanist: I will accept, if you will stand by my side, as counselor… and friend.

I mean, no one really wants to see more Garrosh-/Sylvanas-esque warchiefs, which brought the Horde into very bad spots, so I’d say that this definitely prevents it from happening ever again + the Horde cannot lose another Warchief, if they do not have one! :smiley:

So let’s call the Horde Council “Council of the Three Axes”…argh, no, too similar to the one of the Dwarves…Council of the Six? Uhm no there’s the copyright of the Kirin Tor on that one…Desolate Council? Oh no there’s Forsaken copyright…

Oh, I know it! Let’s call it…

The Savage™ Council!

That is certainly a possibility :smiley:

But with Gallywix leaving only let’s say more rational leaders remain, so the Horde might be stable for a while.

No more ‘warchief of the week’?

The Council of the Many Spikes.

Well yes it would be stupid to appoint another warchief since it has failed so massively several times now :smile:

If you elect a ‘WAR chief’ you will get another stupid war obsessed leader who will create more conflict.

With more people, aka a council then there are safety measures and more views before any drastic action is taken.

Even with a normal ‘Chief’ (NOT a WAR chief) there would still be the risk of electing another complete moron. But a chief would be better than a war chief.

why isnt gallywix in the council?
everyone knows that all great councils need at least 1 corrupt person, that seeks to have the other council members leave by ̷f̷o̷r̷c̷e̷ asking them nicely and then replace them with more like-minded people

Maybe the … Honor Council. Cause there’s plenty of that, right?

Or the Blue Council.

Or let’s just call em Anduin’s Fangirls.

Obviously just a take on the loot council that we know from loot distribution.

And whilst that system has pros and cons, can we really afford a situation where the best loot gets funneled to friends?? (read Anduin)

The grizzled alcoholic voiced elf has fallen for the thotlyssra’s charms and now there will be on oversight over this council. Just Baine and his yes men.

We should just start having personal warchief as the only option

He is currently with sylvanas I found out last night.

What was the name of the Mag’har female orc leader ?

Pretty sure she was siding with Sylvanas as well in the war campaign. Has she went the same path as Gallywix ?

I watched bellular last night and and on it, she is back in the fold again. rejoined the rest of them.

I thought Lor’Themar was going for Anduin’s embellishment. Somebody needs to spank that boy king and show him the real deal.
