Allied Race "Leak": Could it be Sethrak?

If you did the stories of the drustvar you missed the Lore of the Kul Tirans and where it comes from period

Pity they ran away from the Horde, almost as if they don’t like them.

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Citation needed.

It was said they ran to the Northern Barrens. We own the Northern Barrens.

Plus, the saberon came to this planet with the Horde, not the Alliance.

Slight tangent but while we’re on the subject of AU races, having the Botani run north after that scenario and join the Alliance would be dope as hell.

Some nature-gone-rogue murder plants joining up with the Night Elves to help them get some of their wild savagery back would absolutely make my year.

[Tovi-moon-guard (Tovi)]

I like the way you think.

[Bullkano-quelthalas]

Long live the new models of gnolls and tuskars

Botani would be interesting for sure. There are quite a few classes that make sense for them too. Their druid forms could be… interesting.

Let me just go ahead and give you some Word of God on this one.

Kul Tiran (playable)

Non-playable Kul Tiran human models include thin, normal and fat body types. The playable Kul Tirans use the fat body type. They are not intended to be a separate race, they are simply variants on Kul Tirans made because Blizzard wanted bigger and smaller models to fit the various NPC roles and add more flavor to the world. They are not biologically different from other humans.[7][8]

WoW Q&A with Senior Producer Travis Day and Senior Concept Artist Jimmy Lo

Travis: So, Thin Man and Fat Man are what we call them internally. And no, they’re not intended to be a different race, [they’re] just variants on Kul Tirans.

I rest my case. They are humans, just fat.

Botani would be interesting for sure.

I almost forgot too, that Genosaur plant-monster came through a portal just north of Stormwind in the Everbloom dungeon and touched ground on Azeroth before we killed it. It 100% could have dropped some Botani spores there, the lore on the Sporemounds is absolutely wild.

[Bettywont-illidan]

And plenty of them definitely survived because nobody ever stepped on them when he shot them out… lol

[Kassarus-moon-guard]

There’s already a Sethrak thread.

With that said, I would die for playable Sethrak. I would literally pay full price to race change my entire 50 character account to Sethrak.

I may be wrong, but didn’t they head south, towards the Overgrowth? I always figured it was probably laying the groundwork for a newer version of the Wailing Caverns.

Can’t say its my cup of tea, but why not? Botani and Saberon would both make good additions to the Alliance. They’ve both got more than enough reasons to hate Orcs.

[Tovi-moon-guard (Tovi)]

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

hate Orcs.

Just wanted to point out that the Horde is made up of races that used to hate each other.

Funnily enough, so is the Alliance.

[Bettywont-illidan]

We can all hate each other equally. It’s time we blur the faction lines and hate all people as one.

[Tovi-moon-guard (Tovi)]

Like who? I’m drawing a blank.

Not being snarky, I’m truly drawing a blank.

[Briselody-lightnings-blade (Briselody)]

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Not sure, though them holing up in the Wailing Caverns does make sense. I’m not sure the direction they ran in the scenario has much significance, since they seemed like they were just trying to hightail it away from any visible orcs lol

Even if they do barricade themselves in there, just their presence on Azeroth could be enough to activate whatever big boy left behind near Stormwind if their whole plant hive-mind thing still works from Chronicles.

[Solarion-wyrmrest-accord]

@Tovi-moon-guard

Like who? I’m drawing a blank.

Let’s see… Well, Humans hate: Orcs, Forsaken, and Trolls.
Gnomes hate Goblins, generally speaking.
Dwarves hate Orcs, Trolls, and Forsaken.
Night Elves hate Orcs, Trolls, and Forsaken.

[Cinderpetal-stormrage]

If we’re not giving Jinyu/Hozen as a package deal, then go Gnoll/Quillboar.

[Briselody-lightnings-blade (Briselody)]

I think she was referring to races within the faction historically hating each other.

Like Blood elves and orcs, or blood elves and Forsaken, or blood elves and trolls, or

well, blood elves and other blood elves, let’s be honest.

[Lytrox-stormrage]

Every new allied race from here on out should be neutral. Kill this forced arbitrary faction system now. It should be story/lore based and nothing more.
