“Nothing boring about Borean”

Yeah Blizz, have you actually played through the area? its pretty dang boring.

Say what you will about how entertaining Borea is. I dig how it looks at least. The Horde and Alliance bases in the Tundra look dope and the zone ain’t that bad either IMO.

i even hate the looks of it, some patchwork of different tilesets looking bum boring zone

you go from ice to crops to brown land to gray to red to yellow to ice to blue to water to black tar to gnomes like a pollock painting on acid

it has no cohesion and im just glad they decided to probably dump on the zone instead of the neighbouring sholazar basin which is the best zone ever.

You say this, but I would love for Blizzard to tell us what is ACTUALLY going on in Azeroth rn. Just tell us where the Scourge are. We’ll do the rest. Please.

I mean sure, absolutely, but they can do one without the other!

Hey, I like Borean Tundra. As Alliance, at least. It’s atmospheric and perfectly sells that frontier fantasy, especially when you go far from Valiance Keep and see how tiny and insignificant it looks surrounded by a cold, uncaring, and hostile environment.

There are only two things I don’t like about it: the mechagnome questline, mainly because of how annoying it is to listen to “WARNING! WARNING! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!” again and again, and the torture quest, especially the fact that it’s mandatory to unlock Coldarra without flying.

Thank god Maldraxxus was there to stop the Aqir, those trolls wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Turns out Broxigar was actually an agent of Maldraxxus that got transported through time back to the War of the Ancients (and then conveniently forgotten about), as cleverly hinted at in Knaak’s novels through him being an Orc, like Draka

Because shadowlands is outside of time, Draka actually was also involved in the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago.

In fact loads of maldraxxus orcs were!

Orcs actually saved the world from the Night Elves/Highborne, and that’s why Cenarius forgave them in Cataclysm. You thought it was just a weird plot contrivance so that Horde could take part in the Firelands stuff, but ACTUALLY it was clever writing all along. Don’t you feel stupid.

Also you thought it was Sylvanas behind the Wrathgate because we said it was even though that doesn’t make any sense, and actually we tricked you, again, you got pranked. Maldraxxus was behind the Wrathgate. They specifically needed a lot of soldiers as raw materials to flesh out (heheheh) their army, so they sent someone in disguise as Putress to carry it out and plaguebomb a bunch of soldiers.

BUT THERE’S MORE

Putress and Varimathras were also working together and WERE planning on doing a Wrathgate and ALSO Sylvanas was planning on doing a Wrathgate, separately. They all planned to do it. But Maldraxxus got there first.

Now, you see, the Primus is such a genius tactician because he has a friend with time powers or something right.
Who do we know with time powers? Nozdormu.
Maldraxxus actually helped defeat Galakrond (subtly hinted at by the fact that there are skeletons in Dragonblight) and allied with Nozdormu there.
But then Maldraxxus also corrupted him into Murozond, for reasons. You might’ve thought it was the old gods who did that, and you’d be correct. Maldraxxi were actually actually the original soldiers of the black empire (or the Morally Grey Empire as they prefer it to be called) and so it all links together.
The evil houses of Maldraxxus were also behind Chromie’s death.

Maldraxxus also helped move Garrosh to AU Draenor… it all makes sense now

You thought that the asspull puppeteer of everything was Denathrius but it was actually the Primus. God, we’re so clever.
