Hello
I have a question for everyone who knows lore of the game
Which faction is controlling which zone according to the lore?

Are you expecting us to go through every zone in the game ?
Lorewise alliance controls most of the eastern kingdom and horde half of the kalimdor.
Hard to tell. Unless we get an actual world revamp sometimes in the future, I think it’s always just gonna be in the realm of speculations.
I’m confused for example about Silverpine, Hillsbard, Ashenvale
About that subject, Darkshore belongs to the Kaldorei once again and most likely all of Ashenvale !

Since Alliance won the Arathi warfront and it is near gilneas and stormgaurde it belongs to alliance.
Since Alliance won the Darkshore warfront it belongs to Alliance.
Ashenvale had always been contested at best, since we have Zoram Strand which is a big outpost at two more outposts in the Zone.
Plus in “A Good War” Horde conquered all of it and pushed into Darkshore.
So at best, its contested again

Which Horde? The Sylvanas loyalist one? the one that has been dismantled?
Same as before with the Alliance making at least one new gain with Stromgarde. Hammerfall likely still exists though, and it was recently reinforced. So it’s safe to say the Arathi Highlands remain contested.
Tirisfal is probably almost completely abandoned though a few Forsaken and Scarlet hold outs will still be around in the west and east in Deathknell and the Scarlet Monastery respectively, separated by the scar the Alliance left.
Hillsbrad and Silverpine are likely a complete mess though, unless the armistice resolves that problem. I doubt the Alliance would let those zones go easily though.
On Kalimdor, Darkshore is back in Alliance hands and so is much of Ashenvale if I remember correctly. Teldrassil is obviously still gone.
I imagine the rest of the Kaldorei’s lands are in the same state as pre-war though with perhaps a large refugee presence.

When was the Horde dismantled? In your dreams? Cause last time Anduin and Saurfang managed to gather an army ( half Alliance and Horde Rebels)that was weaker than the one Sylvannas had (Horde only).
So now that Horde is united good thing you have that armistice going for u…

Hillsbrad and Ashenvale I guess will remained mirrored: contested areas but tilted towards the Horde and the Alliance respectively.
Silverpine will probably be Forsaken full, to mirror Darkshore.

This is the best political map you’ll find:

Note that the Dark Iron Clan is also affiliated with the Alliance, so they control Blackrock and the Searing Gorge (which isn’t show in the map), and that it needs to be updated for post-BfA (we know the Alliance now controls both Arathi and Darkshore).
Beyond the two main continents, the Alliance controls all of Kul Tiras while the Horde controls Suramar, Highmountain, and Zandalar (except for Nazmir, which is under Blood Troll control, and the northermost region of Vol’dun, which is under the Sethrak Empire).
All of this should be troll lands.

As the latest info goes, Gilneas seems to be simultaneously contested and Blighted. Sources contradict themselves in that regard.
So painting it all blue seems like a stretch.
And is tendentious to throw about that the Blood trolls or the Sethrakk would still hold any kind of claim against the Zandalari rulership in their island, whereas the Kul Tiran have an apparent uncontested claim across their whole territory.
Naga, Drust/witches, the pirates of Freehold, the Quilboar,…
If you are going to leave Zandalari enemies as testimony that they aren’t holding their entire island, same should apply to Kul Tiran.

No. It was already painted blue in the BfA trailer.
The Sethrak Empire and Blood Trolls are independent from the Zandalari Empire and that has always been the case. Zandalar hasn’t been united fully under the Zandalari in a long time. Whereas Kul Tiras is no longer fractured since the civil war is over and all noble houses swore allegiance to the Lord Admiral once again.
That means jack.
If we are to hold on what the trailer shows in a colour (lol), that means Ashenvale is Horde. And Feralas. And the entirety of Tanaris.
Regarding the rest, no.
If you are going to hold on to separate races/tribes as testimony for Zandalari not holding their own island, same applies to Naga, Quilboar, the pirates,…
So Kul Tiran aren’t completely in control of their island neither.

Neither Tanaris nor Feralas were ever painted in red, also a huge part of Ashenvale is painted red in the map I posted.
The naga never had a foothold in Kul Tiras to begin with, they attempted to get one by destroying Fort Daelin but were defeated. The Quilboar control a minor camp in Stormsong, not an entire zone like the Blood Trolls. With the death of its founder and leader Harlan Sweete and the return of the Kul Tiran fleet, as well as the end of their partnership with Ashvane, it is very unlikely that the Irontide will still be a presence in Kul Tiras, whereas we know that the Blood Trolls are very much still active despite G’huun’s death (see 8.1).
All of Lordaeron seems to be in a contested state and so is Gilneas. Ashenvale is also contested but the Night Elves have taken back Darkshore and restored their outposts, including Astranaar which has been fortified although there isn’t much civilian life there. Stromgarde is in the hands of the Alliance but not places such as Hammerfall, mainly because Stromgarde from an Alliance military standpoint was simply a means of giving the Alliance a port city from which they could keep sending reinforcements to the contested Gilneas.
