I have a question for Blizz story writers even I know they will not answer or care.
Why any Horde member especially a Troll or an Undead should protect the World Tree. Why should we care about Elves new home. This politically corecteness is the most stupiest think I have ever seen.

Actually this is seemingly about the dragons regaining their powers, don’t ask me what those powers are cause I kept seeing them using time travel and magic and … crap. The nelfs making it their new home is sort of incidental. But come on, it’s a tree. Who else would live in a tree?
Anyway, it makes no sense. I think lore-wise the Forsaken aren’t even there except for Lilly.
Because we are family

It’s a “world” tree and you’re on the world?
Isn’t it sorta self explanatory?

Ehm… not really? We have had plenty of those yet mainly just elfs near them.
It would kinda be like a certain group of ppl would suddenly decide to protect another group of ppl they have tried to kill for decades because they share the same place. It just doesnt happen, and yes, i reffered to something happening currently. You can decide who is what here.

The Horde and Alliance have Morales to a certain extent. As you seen in the Shadowlands the Horde didn’t agree with what Slyvannis did to the Tree. The Horde have always had morales embedded in them(Mainly orc) They follow a set of standards and they have a line. The horde have clearly shown they don’t agree with what has happened with the Night elfs in the recent expansions as their own morale codes have been crossed towards them. It’s just like real life. Many nations who are normally enemies have came together to fight something that’s went to “far”

But its twice now in a very short timespan. Half the horde (or more) sided with Garrosh and not even a decade later, half the horde (or more) sided with Sylvanas. And with Sylvanas i didnt get the feeling that most of the forsaken dissagreed with her. The very few that did were killed of when Calia died and that should have been a VERY red flag for them, yet they remained.
If you say they stayed out of fear… remind me again what a forsakens racial is.
The only conclusion i can get to is that very few of the horde has a good moral and if they did, even fewer had the principle to follow their moral!

You would rather Fyrakk just got his hands on it?
You know, um…it’s called WORLD tree…not Alliance Tree, not Horde tree. WORLD tree…and as it so happens, both factions exist on this world, so…yeah…it might have a bit more purpose than just being a new home for the night elves.
Well didnt say that but tbh, this wasent the hordes fight. What would have happened if the “world tree” thats not IN the world burned? If the Emerald Dream burned? Would the world have followed?
Is it?
Even I – someone who reads the novels and lore books and all that – am not quite sure what the function of a World Tree is.
It may have been mentioned here and there, and there’s likely a lot of background lore for it, but it’s not information that Blizzard have presented front and center so everyone is perfectly well-informed.
Blizzard recently hosted a video on their YouTube page on World Trees by Platinum, and he goes through a lot of the story pertaining to the ones we know in World of Warcraft. But even that video comes short of the deeper background lore.
But since you seem so wise on the subject, would you care to offer the “self explanatory” explanation?

Sorry did I reply to you directly. Was meant for OP. My bad!!!
Fyrakk has arrived in The Emerald Dream, intent on exacting his evil plans with the help of the Zaqali Djaradin and the resurgent Druids of the Flame. If he claims the World Tree, Amirdrassil, it will deliver a time of fire and chaos to Azeroth.
maybe it’s like a community service for horde after sylvanas
Tell me you haven’t read the quests without telling me you haven’t read the quests.
If Fyrakk gets his hands on the tree the corruption will spread through the Dream into Azeroth and everything will burn. Since the Horde exist on Azeroth it is in their best interests to help out a bit.
Ah kk… But its kinda weird how they know what effect some things will have while never having done someting of the like prior.
“If i burn this magic tree in this blueprint state realm i burn the real world as a whole… source: trust me bro!”
What magic did all the other world trees have? Could he just not have aimed at them? All i know about them is that they are big and only one of them gave them some second hand imortality because it was blessed by most of the aspects.
As far as i know, all a world tree is is a very big tree.

Sounds like the forums 
What if I tell you that Bel’ameth new nelven city, might actually end up NEUTRAL and the horde can visit it anytime. How do you feel, is the sky started falling or we can still do our things before it falls?
Like I said, “world” tree says it for me.
If you need to read books, refer to youtube or pour through obscure references outside of the game to infer more then the dev’s have missed a trick.
If you want to change my mind, do it ingame not through books. So until they are renamed to “nelf trees” or somesuch I’ll work on the assumption they matter to the world.

I’d imagine the flames of war and war on the Night elves the Horde has done. Will take more than a Shandris and Lillian becomes friends questline in the lore and long terms of things.
That Amirdrassil is cross faction friendly should be treated as a ingame mechanic sort of thing… Rather than present lore accuracy when it comes to Horde and Alliance relations.
Its made this way for endgame and questing purposes.
From prison?
