I’m going to just reply to this right quick about the Alliance High King thing.
Muradin, unfortunately, is part of a Council of Three Hammers compromise. Him assuming kingship of the Alliance would mean invalidating that compromise in some way.
The reason Stromwind and its de-facto leader lead the Alliance is because of the past human-led Alliance (i.e. Lordaeron.) The reason Genn is attached to Anduin is because of the loss of his son (most likely,) and their shared human-ness. The reason Genn and the night elves get along so well is because of their shared other-ness (and by this I mean the worgen half of their people that coincides with not being fully human.)
So, while many people may very much dislike Anduin being the “leader” of the Alliance, it is only because no one has risen up to challenge that–until Tyrande, and that’s important. If anyone has the right to lead the Alliance, though, I’d think it might be Jaina at this point–for a host of reasons. She led Theramore, then Dalaran, and now Kul’Tiras. With the Kul’Tiran navy, she has secured the seas for the Alliance in a lot of ways. And, …she’s human. I could also see advocating for Mekkatorque, as he’s currently the High King of gnome-kind. And even Genn, as worgen as he is, could serve, but we haven’t seen them desirous of that role.
For the most part, Anduin has managed things pretty okay. Hell, he went to war in Undercity to destroy the Forsaken for what they did to Teldrassil. If that’s not being supportive of the night elves, I don’t know what is. But there were darker forces at work in the world, as we now know, and I really don’t see that Anduin was wrong in his choices with Tyrande. They’d just suffered a blow in Zandalar; in spite of accomplishing the defeat of the Golden Fleet there, they ended up killing Rastakhan which sent the Zandalari straight into the arms of the Horde. Both Jaina and Mekkatorque were gravely injured. The Alliance forces were committed in KT and Zandalar, and getting what was left of them to Darkshore would have been a difficult undertaking and leave Kul’Tiras undefended. He made a tough call. But maybe it was the right one, since the night elves prevailed in spite of it? Or was that something darker at work here, too?
Believe me when I say that I get the frustration about there being very little in the way of, “Why is an 18 yr. old leading us?” But the writers have …sort of just done that by having both Genn and Turalyon defer to him. Even Magni does this; Wrathion does this. Hell, even Velen, Jaina, Mathias Shaw, and Mekkatorque do. So, if others who are supposedly loyal to them start questioning things, they are, in effect, questioning their own leaders. Would I have liked to see some of that occurring? Do I think Anduin should be having doubts about his fitness as a leader? …maybe? Would it have added anything to the story they were trying to tell this expansion? I don’t know, but I’m inclined to think the doubt might have been interesting from an Old God meddling perspective. That we didn’t see that save for Anduin losing his cool before Wrathion shows up seems a little sad to me. But we don’t get much of that on either side, really, unless it’s from somewhere or something written or produced outside of the game.
Anyway…I mostly just wanted to address Muradin and the Council of Three Hammers and devolved into other things. So I will leave it at that.
