Right, so a few quest in game means that it is lore support of Alliance invading Quel’thalas.
Yet, you don’t even know me. And funny to call me an Alliance player, considering I only started playing Alliance this year. Here, want a link to some of my toons?
Yeah, I was once an Anti. And made up any bias too. I would rethink about the bias that your making too, and actually find real lore supported sources to back up your facts.
Why people are talking about azuremyst? I don’t see a problem with attacking Eredar race that crashlanded at our planet currupting everything around them. I would attack them as well
The fact is, the main story in Quel’thalas is reclaiming there home from the scourge. The Alliance quest that are there is just side quest, not apart of any story. There is nothing relevant to the actual story to why some Night Elves and a Dwarf is there in the first place.
Okay and that is relevant in what way exactly? They were there. They featured in several quests and more importantly their presence establish the hostility between the factions.
“Weeellll the main story in Wrath was all about beating back the Scourge and killing Arthas so I guess those poor guys in Sholozar Basin aren’t canon”
That’s pretty much how this sounds to me and it’s absurd.
Blizzard colored suramar quest line where night elves help nightborne with a red brush. How disgusting that is.
No one expected highmountain to join the Alliance for instance
A large part of the questing is beating both the scourge remnants AND Alliance invaders, the very last quest when you first deliver a letter to Thrall at the time, specifies that you having beaten both scourge and Alliance determines that the Blood Elves are worthy to join the Horde.
So the main story is both stopping the Alliance invasion and the hunting down of a still living traitor (Dar’khan).
The exact reason for the night elves spying on the blood elves before they even joined the Horde is rather unclear, considering the help the two people gave to each other during the events of the ascension of the Lich King. Since Tyrande Whisperwind was shown as having no qualms with the blood elves, it is possible this expedition was sent by Fandral Staghelm.
Speculation from the WoWPedia on the Night Elf spies.
I suppose he went to Ironforge and conscripted that Dwarf too then?
Not that it really matters anyway since it’s all speculation but it would speak to the staggering incompetence of Tyrande (The actual leader of the Sentinel Army) and the entire Alliance if such a high ranking authority could assemble a personal army right under their noses and launch an unprovoked invasion on a neutral party.
But again. It’s nothing but speculation and the game mechanics are pretty telling when you juxtapose it with how the Blood Elves at Draenei HQ behave towards Horde players.
When you do the Draenei starting experience, you discover that the Exodar was sabotaged and you’re attacked by Blood Elves mentioning Kael’Thas and Quel’Thalas/ Silvermoon.
These Blood Elves are a part of Kael’s Sunfury Blood Elves, his most devout followers who followed him to Outland, to search for a new future for their people(originaly anyway). As Dainara pointed out, they’re hostile to Horde players too, whereas the Night Elves are friendly towards Alliance players.
If you follow the chronology -> Dreanei meet the Night Elves, tell them about what happened and who they ran across -> The names trigger memories for Tyrande, since she met Kael’thas and she knew about Quel’Thalas -Malfurion told her about it- So she sents over her Sentinels to investigate, maybe from the Draenei she knew about the use of fel magic in the Crystals or otherwise(Although there was a night elf around that was interresed in how fel exposure led to changes in Blood Elves).
Clearly the Alliance was notified aswell, as the Dwarf Ambassador is there too, who ‘may or may not’(but more than probably did,it explicitly read they were in Dwarvish) give the schematics and assignment to the Night Elves, as to how a Arcane Sanctum works, and to observe what happend should it ‘coincidently’ happen to malfunction.
I don’t think Fandral himself would turn to the Alliance, if I recall correctly he was opposed to joining them in the first place, let alone ask Dwarves for help - More likely that Tyrande notified the Alliance and asked for their assistence to help investigate…and subsequently deal with the matter.
Tyrande Whisperwind and Shandris Feathermoon lead the Sentinels, not Fandral Staghelm.
