In a small section yes. And the slaves are outside the section, with the dwarves that are hanging around the rest of the instance.
Unless you’re gonna tell me the entire dark iron city - including Moira and Dagran - were Twilight associates, in which case…not entirely sure that’s the resounding defence of them that you think it is.
We are talking about the 4.0 version of the dungeon. At this time Moira was not even in Shadowforge City anymore, and Dagran was lorewise dead already.
Besides, the Twilight Hammer managed to even undermine the loyalist Dark Irons. Moira’s own ambassador was Twilight Hammer.
I mean, that section is connected to the instance. It’s kind of hard to say anything for certain about it, however, since Blizzard didn’t update BRD in Cataclysm. All we have to go on is the fact Moira was operating out of Ironforge and claims she doesn’t have the full backing of the clan, which implies she also doesn’t control Shadowforge.
I would have to confirm this in-game, but I’m also fairly certain the mobs (the patrolling dark irons, not those chained up) are hostile to Alliance players. That says enough really.
In which case it wasn’t just a “shattered clan”, Moira was on her own. They’re all hostile, aren’t they? Outside of the Thorium 'hood.
Can confirm they’re hostile, and also chilling with a bunch of races from Blackhand’s Horde (though these are rare mobs).
Said rare mob has been in the game since vanilla, so this area definitely hasn’t been updated.
And aside from the few she brought to Ironforge, yeah. I think that was the idea the whole time. Fineous Darkvire’s daughter (her name eludes me) clearly stayed loyal to Moira, as did the new warlock trainers, but it seemed like a relatively small number compared to those that stayed with the Twilight’s Hammer. I don’t think it’d be out of character for Dark Irons to still have slaves, mind, but as far as I can recall that’s always been more of a Twilight’s Hammer thing than Moira’s group.
Judging by the forces she brought to the Blood in the Snow scenario, it seems safe to assume she’s been gradually recruiting more Dark Irons until BFA made them official, but this could also just be another case of Blizzard magically creating NPCs out of thin air.
EDIT: Thanks for the confirmation, Runecaller. I thought that was the case, but didn’t remember exactly.
Apparently not, you where silent when it happened to the gnomes, it was “hilarious”, now that it happens to Horde-aligned goblins, you shout “warcrime”.
Well, you’re guilty of exactly the same warcrime, “champion”.
Also, as confirmed in Warcrimes, civilians are fair game.
I think civilians mining azerite for the Horde military are fair game, don’t you?
Weren’t all those gnomes cursed into insanity?
(also that quest was faction-neutral)
I didn’t comment on that at all - I was replying, as you can see, to someone asking if a ‘civilian’ definition exists in WoW. The lore quote proves that it does.
I’m of the opinion that both sides drench themselves in war crimes galore. Best embrace it.
Are farmers whose produce feeds soldiers?
Oh, so you’re suggesting it is oke to do that to the mentally insane 
?
I didn’t say the Horde alone did it, did I?
I honestly do, can’t wait for the Alliance to do something so brutal that the faction war gets renewed again, I love the faction war!
Yes, actually I am of the opinion that anyone is fair game. You work for the state that I’m at war with? Damn right I’d do my best to destroy as much of the enemies infrastructure as I can, be it civilian or military.
Time to arrest you for warcrimes
void elves that serve n’zoth in the wrathion quest line?
i knew it… hate em
Unlucky Void Elves that thought they had control of the whispers only for Nzoth to be freed from his bonds and snatch you up anyway.
Looking forward to see the Void Elf RPers in Stormwind struggle with this IC as they go about their day to day lives 
you wish
it’ll be void elves continuing to insist they’re really nice and have good intentions (aka how to put me to sleep in 1 simple step)
Better yet they do a brief RP in public in Cathedral Square where they start to hear the whispers of Nzoth.
/y screams loudly and in pain.
But fortunately through the encouraging words and emotes of the human paladin RPers and teenage girl Nelves and their own inner power (encouraged by an anime flashback to a defining moment of their past) manage to overcome the weakest Old God.
Or they’re not a Velf IC.
Looking at the Wrathion questline…
Their Omnia scholars have accumulated centuries of practical expertise in combatting the dark powers of the sha without succumbing to their influence. Given that the sha originated from the essence of Y’Shaarj, the underlying principles of their techniques could prove effective in resisting the whispers of the Old Gods.
[camera awkwardly pans to the entire dungeon where they succumbed to its influence]
It’s actually kinda interesting and gives me some hope that the whole “let’s save azeroth” b-plot might get more interesting than it was before 8.2. I haven’t done all the dragonflight/HoA stuff yet so I’m reserving judgement
That was our bad though wasn’t it?
i just hope y’shaarj - by some really weird shoehorned feat - is not actually dead and gone
that’s the only shoehorning i’ll enjoy
I dunno, the guy who introduced himself by yelling about the filthy foreigners needing to go back to where they came from, getting angry that the filthy foreigners might have actually helped some villages, then getting very angry that the filthy foreigners could go to his special place might not have needed a whole lot of help getting souped up by the Sha of Hatred.
N’Zoth revives all the old gods in Black Empire 2: Electric Boogaloo and we have a full time party babey
He was, understandably, angry at us because everyone thought we made the Sha as active as it was.
Because they do not have wowpedia to check if their biases and stuff is fact.
