“Tyrande we need some of your sentinels and druids to sail across the entire ocean to spy on the blood elves and also maybe sabotage their infrastructure, it’ll be great because you are also elves.”
Alliance High Command beginning the slow and steady decapitation of night elf agency that would culminate in MoP.
This comes off the backs of the night elves being witnesses to what was going on on Bloodmyst, mind. But we’re probably erring dangerously close to moving to the faction spam thread.
I would sooner believe that there was some unknown Old God called Z’dhuun who right after BfA or Shadowlands began influencing people by removing their emotions of hatred, anger and so on thus pacifying the populace in preparation for an attack under the cover of peace between factions. Meanwhile those who held the strongest of grudges realize that they’re being manipulated by an unseen force and seeing the most extreme of examples such as sapping even their ambition, motivation, their very spark of life…
But that’s too subtle, too unremarkable and they would probably make a joke out of it such as the Sha’s influence in Krasarang.
To add to the silliness. It looked like an even sillier thing for the blood elves to get upset over in hindsight when Kael’thas and outland belves hijacked the Sunwell and tried to summon Kil’Jaeden.
Yeah, at this point I’m going to have to play wannabe-Discord-moderator and tap the faction warfare thread I made, since there have been around twenty to thirty posts about BFA allied races since anyone last discussed upcoming content.
Though the reason for that is there hasn’t been anything on the PTR aside from the lacklustre Kirin Tor quest line, I guess. 11.0.7 still looks like it’s going to be mediocre and we’ve barely got anything concerning 11.1.0, unless anyone wants to rummage through all of the interviews for any relevant lore information.
The army of the light composed of the united forces of all that is Good and the final confrontation with the great Darkness is fundamental to draenei understanding of the Light and the future by way of Velen’s visions.
Imagine the biblical end of days rolls around and it’s just this push to topple a belligirent superpower with the assistance of the surviving navy seals after their APC hit a landmine. Then it just kinda fizzles out and the pope steps down.
I don’t mean to pull it that way, instead I think it’s more interesting to see how early on the writers were willing to morph factions quite heavily to fit narratives rather than the other way around, especially when it comes to night elves for some reason. It would be like having tauren infiltrators in Duskwood.
Jaina is Leader of the Reformed Kirin Tor and Khadgar is retiring from what we know now with the different text strings attached to the proper characters. Incredibly funny decision Blizzard, possibly the funniest option 10/10.
Nothing out of the logic here. Of course the one who left Kirin Tor to deal with the Legion on its own a few years after enlisting it into the war on the Alliance side is the best suited to lead it… along with an entire kingdom of Kul Tiras. Humans should mantain their leadership wherever possible, after all.
Why the heck are they putting Purge McAlliance back in charge of what’s now supposed to be a neutral organization (as evidenced by all the Horde Kirin Tor NPCs in Dragonflight).
And when will she find time for that when she’s also Lord Admiral of Kul Tiras.
The real answer for why they did this is so they can keep putting Jaina in ‘neutral’ scenarios and say noooo she’s not Alliance, she’s here as part of the Kirin Tor.
Just like noooo Anduin isn’t Alliance, he totally abdicated!
Well, I think that should be examined. Is there such a thing as a Horde Kirin Tor? There are members of traditionally Horde races in the Kirin Tor, true, but last I checked Alliance nations can decide for themselves who to let in and who not to (I look at Velen and his Man’ari).
The obvious exception is Aethas and his bunch, of course, but then there are historical reasons for that. I believe Aethas is still more a member of the Kirin Tor than he is of the Thalassian society. He was one of the big pushers for neutrality back in the day, after all.
I do agree it is funny that Jaina would step in, while also leading a kingdom. maybe she will abdicate in favour of Tandred? But tell me, where is Modera? She supposedly made that chair for Khadgar, but still shines through absence.
Bizarre that Kalec stepped away from the Kirin Tor due to conflicting interests with leading the Blue flight. Yet Jaina is leading a kingdom and a city state, one blue and one ‘neutral’. Me thinks the triangle block fits through the square hole again.
