Yeah that’s odd, hence the technically
Does this mean Darkshore is officially Alliance again or that they gave up on it? No clue, we need some timelines
We don’t know who succeeded on which warfront yet. You’re welcome to speculate that the Alliance won them all based on the “alliance is winning” stuff after Dazar’alor, but that’s still just speculation.
It seems that Darkshore is a fight between a homeland for Night Elves and Forsaken. Arathi is for human, so they will probably win. Darkshore ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Can you imagine the reaction of elf-posters if the Forsaken canonically win Darkshore, the warfront that was meant to be the Kaldorei’s big comeback and Blizzard’s way of making night elves look powerful and savage again?
They would be really disappointed. It would be justified cause the Night Elves never won anything in WoW. They received loses only.
The amount of forum-shrieking would be apocalyptic. There would be so much of it that I think that it would stop being amusing and start to be irritating. For that reason, I honestly hope that the night elves win it. Besides, Felwood would be a better choice for a new home for the Forsaken. It’s got all of the green goo they could ever want.
They could also build a necropolis
That would just fuel more Scourge comparisons.
Undercity was also only a underground necropolis which was build from Nerubian for the scourge.
Undercity was supposed to be a sewer system for Capital City, which included a strong cell network for the worst criminals of Lordaeron.
Doomhammer was imprisoned there.
And yes, it’s understandable if Night elves do win in Darkshore, although it’s kind of irking how Blizzard hasn’t bothered giving Forsaken players a mirrored situation after the loss of their starting zone too.
It would be interesting to know if they want to decide for the bigger population or not. Who knows? Maybe they can get Lordaeron back somehow.
In the end 2/3 succeeded but we got 1 extra so in the end we accomplished 3/3 goals. It’s just too bad Rasthakan didn’t even surrender when it was just him, 3 strongest guards and nobody. You see it the whole figth, even Bwonsamdi got sick of him! First Talanji does? Investigate why Sylvanas is beyond crazy.
Looking at how even CC is helping, how can the Horde even win:
-Feralas and Stonetalon, no change, probally getting reinforced now
-Felwood, Winterspring and Hyjal tighly into CC and/or NE hands
-Ashenvalle had lots of pockets retaken, tons of querilla warfare
-Darkshore, same as Ashenvalle and thanks to it’s distance getting supllies from the Barrens to Darkshore is suicide or atleast very dangerous.
Drakshore will be bloodbath, Horde will push their army into it fully while the NEs do it from Darkshore. And Tyrande is already missing and rumored to be in Ashenvalle helping out the querilla troops. Which is a shame bcause Tyrande should have been at Darkshore and Malfurion (not at wimpy power level, btu at full power) in Ashenvalle. My prediction the entire western half along with the land near the entrance of Felwood (Forest’s Hearth which us very important to them) will be retaken by the NE. Eastern stays Horde and heave fighting around/near the pass to the Barrens.
I wonder if the war will eventually lead us back to fighting in stormwind and Orgrimmar before the end of the expansion.
I know Sylvanas is quite willing and capable of taking it to the capital. I seriously doubt that the boy king would be so bold to venture out of the eastern kingdoms though.
He ventured out to Kul Tiras
Or is Kul Tiras a part of the Eastern Kingdoms?
What is the logic behind the attack on Dazar’alor?
“alliance players are complaining that whenever the horde go on the offensive, they tend to win, while whenever the alliance do it ends with a partial victory at best!”
“how do we fix this?!”
“well, let’s let the alliance go on the offensive!”
“against who? not orgrimmar - we’d never be forgiven for SoO 2.0.”
“silvermoon?”
“no! all my characters are blood elves! i don’t want the alliance to ruin their lovely homeland!”
“… zandalar?”
“yeah, why not. the layout sucks anyway, it’ll give us an excuse to change it.”
and that is the story of how the alliance destroyed the zandalari fleet and killed king rastakhan.
… what’s that? “why did the alliance attack the city in the first place instead of just blowing up the fleet, throwing up a naval cordon with their vastly more powerful navy, and try to starve the zandalari (and all horde present on the island) into submission?”
well, i’ll tell you - but first i need to use the restroom.

You’ve just cracked the code of Blizzard’s "story"telling.
the alliance seems to lose even when winning in this expansion, horde fanboyism isn’t even hidden any more, also shown by the fact that horde gets interesting conflict and choices who to follow and we get a dumb child that barely made the switch from “peace for everyone” to fighting the horde.
looks at the smouldering ruins of dazar’alor behind him, with dead horde soldiers everywhere and mourning zandalari
yeah! bloody horde fanboyism! god dammit, when is the alliance gonna get the spotlight?!
Points to the still-intact Dazar’alor and then points to the smouldering tree stump that is Teldrassil
We got off easy, my brother.
