I mean, A and H have mauled each other countless times now. This is what Taran Zhu meant about each reprisal itself being an act of aggression etc

Eh, is it?

Anyhow, most of Warcraft 3’s ‘‘good story’’ is immediately thrown in the bin in WoW when the Alliance/Horde are okay with having Warlocks/Shadow Priests/Forsaken ( for the Horde ) which go against every development they had in War3.

the twist here was that it was the most obvious answer instead of anything crazy you might’ve thought of

I’ll be honest, I just want to get the Void Lord expansion out of the way so they’ll have no choice but to make new lore or do another Scourge expac. Undead > More Void garbage

Yes.

The lesson would stand up better if either side ever regretted or reflected on what they did as potentially bad.

I mean, it’s in character for Lor’themar. He has been playing Kael’s game minus the subscription to the Burning Legion Weekly Gazette.

That’s gonna be a ‘yikes’ from me.

Looking forward to Jaina rejecting him too

My personal guess: It’s not Sylvanas who goes through the Kerrigan-style redemption story but Azshara, after we liberate her from the clutches of N’Zoth.

The curse of Jaina and the overriding narrative of a strong female character who has all the consistancy of my enthusiasm for life.

Hold on. What?
Develop your idea…

After we save her life despite all of the awful things that she has done and the fact that she has earned any suffering she receives at N’Zoth’s tentacles, she will side with the unified Horde and Alliance against the evil that N’Zoth represents, wielding the secrets that he has granted her against him.

Is this out of character for Azshara?
Yes.
Is this bad writing?
Yes.
Is this the sort of writing we can expect from Blizzard?
Yes.

She could be doing it for self preservation and an opportunity to escape and rebuild on her own. Which would work… Poorly, but slightly less jarring.

Just saying, if this comes to pass, I demand forum brownie points.
