So the new Silver Hand was essentially dissolved? Does that mean the Argents are nw Alliance? I mean… the center of their order is also the central chapel of the new Silver Hand. And the argents held quite a lot of land by now…

Just putting a Silver Hand banner behaind Turalyon (who was never part of the Legion order, was he?) and a Silvermoon banner behind Liadrin doesn’t explain anything, it just brings up more questions.

Apparently.

Nope.

He was part of the original order, though.

She’s matriarch of the Blood Knights, we pretend Legion did not happen.

Need a revamped Scarlet Crusade lead by Turalyon. C’mon Blizzard make this happen.

Maybe they will implement it seeing how nicely you ask.

So… putting the Silver Hand banner behind him doesn’t have to mean anything for the order that was founded in Legion, does it? So… it would even leave the possibility open that the order was never dissolved, but that the paladins are now playing for their home teams, while there is no order business at hand that gets them to play in the azerothian national team?

That would make the initial question open again.

If flattery doesn’t work then I will try something harder.

You can always try to act like Yosemite Sam ; )

WHEN I SAY I WANT SCARLET CRUSADE, I MEAN I WANT SCARLET CRUSADE

In the lack of sources, I can only answer you with headcanon. Some paladins probably went home to engage in this war, some remained with the crusade. Those who did, play for their home teams.

As for the status of the Silver Hand, I think it is effectively disbanded and once again only the Argent Crusade. The Alliance paladins are using the symbol of their old order over the one of the reunited organization.

Can we somehow prevent this forum from becoming Night Elf Forum even further?

I thought you’re mixing English and German for shock value.

I guess someone should use the fact that our very language strikes fear into the faint of heart!.. But it wasn’t my intention this time.

I see what you did there.

it did strike a lot of fear into me when I got my German exams graded.

It wasn’t my best foreign language.

I find the idea of having to learn german as a foreign language horrible. Arbitrary sentence structure and loads and loads of irregular words are more fun when you don’t have to think about them, or that’s what I would think at least…

Try Polish :wink:

I found it easier than French, and whilst it took getting used to, at least English and German are both, well, Germanic languages, so there is that. My school was really weird with Languages, we had compulsory French lessons from the age of 12 and only -if- we were good at French were we allowed to start learning German. Just struck me as strange, I mean I’m pretty sure they didn’t do that in Music lessons
“I want to learn the Piano”
“Ah, well, school policy is that we can teach you the Piano, but first you have to learn Guitar to an acceptable standard”
“But I don’t -want- to learn to play Guitar, I want to play the Piano, I mean, OK, if I have to learn Guitar, can I also learn Piano at the same time?”
“Nope, only after a few years of learning Guitar will we maybe teach you Piano”

Just seemed weird. Was a weird classroom dynamic as well, I was the only boy who had opted to learn German, which was just a little strange.
Was cool having to watch Das Boot in the original German version as part of our coursework though!

Oh, I’m sure there are a number of languages that are harder to learn… but there are also much easier languages, and I would count English among them. I’ve never been that great at languages myself. When I had the opportunity to learn French in school, I opted for Latin instead, and I didn’t elect to use the Spanish or Russian courses my school offered, either… Though I did learn a bit of Swedisch later, which seemed very easy with some knowledge of English and German… germanic languages again, I guess. Probably not the most useful language though, since the Swedes all seem to speak English, German or both anyway.

I kind of lost my train of thought there… erm… I think I wanted to say something about not being in the best position to evaluate the difficulty of another language.

You’re talking to the King of rambling and forgetting what I was meaning to say… :smiley:

I think you’re right that we can’t always imagine how different our own language is to learn, as, well, we don’t -really- have to make a conscious effort to do so. I guess I found it easier because there are certain words that you innately can just pick up, like the whole names for family relations, same with animals, many of the names are similar enough in German and English, I mean it is easier to retain the knowledge that ‘Mouse’ in English is ‘Maus’ in German, rather than ‘Souris’ in French.

You’re right about the sentence structure though, that was hard to learn in German. I think I remember reading somewhere that one of the toughest languages to learn as a non native is Arabic, not sure if that is true or not.
