In order to understand what the capital looks like, we need to establish the most important aspects about the Kaldorei society and what they need to have in terms of logistics, upkeep and functional.
… You know what, it doesn’t actually matter when it’s going to get burned down and its residents reanimated as Forsaken devoted to the Horde.
Anyone else looking forward to the unavoidable outcome of Forsaken Tyrande serving Sylvanas as a dark ranger and every last living night elf being exterminated, to the point where they’re deleted as a playable race and players are forced to buy race change tokens in order to play their (previously) night elf characters again?
Give me Gilneas back and you can do what the hell you want with the Kaldorei.
I’ll built an even taller and thicker wall this time that will surround all of Gilneas and I’ll watch the world burn.
Yes Taxania, we get it. You are making a counter thread because you want to show how its not nice when people attack you for playing a certain race or desire dramatic consequences and humiliation on players who had no call in the creation of the story.
We do understand and we are sorry Blizzard is doing this to the Horde and the Forsaken, even though we do not always see it through our own pains and frustrations.
The night elves will likely be without a capital for years, going by the Gnomeragan/Gilneas example. By the time we do, too much of the world will have changed for any real predictions of a new capital.
It’s also rather fun to play the part of the big evil Horde player who is beloved by Blizzard and who always gets their way, while the poor, trodden-on Alliance get nothing.
I’m honestly looking forward to the Forsaken Night Elf allied race that Blizzard’s guaranteed to make. I’m willing to bet it’ll even have some neat undead druids, complete with rotten, plagued animal forms.
Umm…
Just to address the title question, I’d like japanese-inspired buildings. That’s sort of their architectural style, but I’d love to see it on a grander scale. Something akin to the Himeji Castle or Matsumoto Castle.
I’m sure that we doesn’t get anything because they always had a city which you can still visit & because blizz it’s too much work for Blizz. I don’t think that we get another elven Race again.
I guess it depends on where you see the story going. Personally I think both races will have a “story chapter” where they re-build and re-imagine their identities.
I fall into the camp of people who think Calia Menethil will be the new leader of the Forsaken, and I think they’ll get a new home and a new identity under their new leadership.
Likewise with the Night Elves. I think they too will get a new home and embody more of their Night Warrior identity.
Or they could create homes that are shared by several races. You could easily imagine some dark, spooky place that embodies both the Night Elves, Worgen, and Void Elves.
No one says the Night Elves must have a place of their own, alone.
It may take time to get there, but I don’t think Blizzard intends to just leave either race out in the cold, so to speak. There’s a lot of possibility for world-building.
Ugh no to Calia. I know Alliance characthers tend to earn respect and power without actually doing anything but there is no reason for forsaken to follow her.
“Wow she is the Sister of the Prince Who doomed us all and then she ran away and was hiding for 30? years without contacting us. We should rise against Sylvanas Who saved us and follow her instead”
Possibilities are endless. But it doesn’t mean that Blizzard is going to use any of them.
I’d prefer all the races to live separately, somehow, to enhance their identities, just like heritage armour is supposed to.
Worgen need to reconquer Gilneas. Gnomes need Gnomergan back or at least a part of it, that could actually serve as a mini-city, not just a starting zone. Void Cuties have their Telogrus Rift, Night Elves could populate Hinterlands or even Duskwood.
Well historically speaking, many wars have been fought over “rightful heirs” to a crown.
The monarchy has for many years in human history been an institution that people have been very devoted to. Kings, queens, emperors and empresses, they’re titles worn by people that have had an elevated, almost God-like, status amongstt men.
And Warcraft – at least for its Human kingdoms – plays very much into that traditional, medieval monarchial rule and society.
See, it’s like Jito said, it’s not about who do common people prefer. That’s not how monarchies work.
No one is saying that Forsaken are to forget Sylvanas and embrace Calia just because. It is only a possibility, because Calia is, technically, a rightful ruler and Sylvanas is, technically, an usurper, even if a beloved one.
