What ever happened to her in the story? She went missing during the events of the Dark Portal of WC2 and came back during the Argus patch and then got benched immediately after. With how much focus has been given on Sylvanas you’d think her family would be more involved somehow. But no, her sister’s seemed to have vanished.
I wonder if they are saving Alleria so in like 10 years time they can reignite Sylvanas nostalgia by having her sister go corrupt and trying to destroy the world but this time from the Alliance’s side?

She’s involved in Shadows Rising. It’s a pretty good book.

They’re pretty clearly saving both her and Turalyon as main focus for next expansion with inevitable light vs void story, but both she and Vereesa definitely deserved to be a bigger part of the current storyline given the relevance of their sister.
Especially given they’re shifting to a sympathetic angle with Sylvanas, not having either of them there to offer a perspective outside of “bad evil elf, kill” seems sorely needed. Really would have rather brought them along than people like Calia or Baine to make the upcoming story arc less of a tonal whiplash.

Alleria had a weird role in BfA. 
The bigger issue is how little time WoW’s style of storytelling doesn’t give time for these sort of character interactions. The occasional dialogue between NPCs stands out for this reason.

They’ll never do that. The “ticking time bomb” characters never do actually “explode.” And they already blew any possible surprise by showing us exactly how it would look, back in the Horrific Visions.

She’s already corrupt. She tortured innocent civilians and refugees invading their minds with the void.

Doesn’t Anduin use their status as Alliance heroes to go “you should trust them”?
Which is really dumb when you realize all that is is showing their ability to fight enemies.
It’s necessary regarding the situation. I have no problem with that.
The point is they supposely know where the proverbial “line” needs to be drawn.
Physically said civilians didnt get hurt. Yes, pyshcologically it was likely they will be scar, maybe permanently. But the question has always been how far the “line” and if crossing it is worth it.
Even ingame we players have used actually torture before.

I suspect it will be covered exclusively in the Sylvanas book.

They’ll probably bring back Alleria when pull the supposedly-subversive-but-actually-contrarian-cliché move of making Alleria the hero who tries to redeem the villain-batted Turalyon for the “Scarlet Crusade 2: Electric Boogaloo” Light-bad expansion.

Just popping in to mention that if anyone’s interested in what Alleria was up to between Warcraft II and Legion, I highly recommend checking out the official audio drama “A Thousand Years of War”. It’s rather well done, over two hours long, and is free on the WoW website.

Alleria is busy on Azeroth torturing innocent Orc mothers in front of their children. Her hubby is tying them up with Light magic while she is using Void magic to torture them.
I am serious.

See, i have no idea what the plan with Alleria is. Like at all. She is one of the only characters Alliance Side (The Other being her Hubby) that i could see being an Alliance villain in a faction war expansion, but im mixed on if i even want another one of those.
Shadowlandswise though the issue is that we got 6 characters that weren’t dead before the expansion, them being Sylvie, Jaina, Anduin, Tyrande, Thrall, and Baine.
There is nothing wrong with that. I would do same in that situation.

Never said it’s wrong. Blizz is just building her up to be the next Jaina/Sylvanas-tier boss for the next Light themed expansion. Only difference is Alleria might actually end up dead, which I think would actually be some good story telling after all these years tbh.
Turalyon even says it himself. Using the light and void to torture innocents made them no better than Syvanas:
"… Give me a chance to pursue this the right way. Though time be short and our task dire, let us not forget who we are, what principles separate us from Sylvanas and her ilk.” – Shadows Rising (p. 89).
But they did it anyway.

With Sylvanas on the road of redemption, the next expansion will have a Sylvanas, Alleria and Vereesa pairing, and we’ll follow the three on a long questline where they will use the power of sisterhood to defeat a great evil.
This is legit.
They really did that.
And then they causally went to a dinner party at Jaina’s house because Jaina didn’t agree with thier methods and gave them a stern talking to.
That’s how the Alliance handles it’s war crimes.
