Because then it cannot be hinted that the Alliance killed them on the spot if we do not know if they reached the Alliance or not. If the Alliance killed them, that kind of insinuates that the Forsaken reached the Alliance. And Sylvanas isn’t the only one with a perspective, as you noted in your very own post. If the Alliance don’t know about the Forsaken, their perspective is that the Forsaken never reached them.
There’s nothing to say what killed the Forsaken. The reason why I said there is hints about it is because the Scarlet Crusade was also opening negotiation channels with Stormwind at that same time period. There is a Scarlet Crusade ambassador in the crypts in Stormwind cathedral, and another one in Nijel’s point. So we don’t know for certain, but it suggests the Scarlets could have been trying to sabotage any relations between Forsaken and the Alliance.
Little known fact…Forsaken were actually pitched as an Alliance race in alpha, but them exclaiming “We are the tolerated!” just didn’t roll off the tongue the same way.
The orcs were a race of warmongers and shamans who chose to become literal slaves to world ending demons with a sell that was pretty easy to see through. Then they went on a campaign of genocidal conquest.
The now Horde race of folks from Lordaeron got merc’d by a dead orc warlock’s dastardly zombie plans, culminating in their prince making the zombie situation even worse.
Can you give me the source for this other perspective we’ve seen? What character?
Outside of the one of Anduin that I just learned that confirms that the Alliance received an outreach of the Forsaken and rejected it?
Much like how the night elves joined the Alliance, this is one of those areas Bliz refuses to expound on. Basically all we’ve got is that “something” happened to the emisaries.
Who killed them (and if so, why) remains unknown. Or maybe they just got lost. Or maybe they got tired of the whole thing and they’re down in Booty Bay drinking dubious rum.
The Burning Legion was defeated. Most of the Man’ari were probably forcibly conscripted by Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, and altered against their will. Why do you think Velen and his group ran? The Man’ari that are being allowed to join the Draenei are probably ones that were forcibly conscripted and used as cannon fodder by the Legion, without being aware of what was really going on.
From the questline, it seems that they joined willingly but didn’t understand exactly what they were getting into, Once they were transformed and actually saw what the legion did across the cosmos they were too afraid for what would happen to themselves if they objected, so they continued to follow the legions orders and slaughtered countless worlds. Now that the threat of extreme punishment is no longer hanging over them, they want to return to their people and do what good they can do.
Ah ok…but my point still stands. This happens in ANY war. Just look at what’s happening in the world today. Soldiers are lied to by their government to get them to join, and often fight without knowing what’s actually going on, while only a few leaders at the top know everything.
I like that storyline…I mean people should be held accountable for the atrocities they commit, “under orders” or not, but even at Nuremberg, people who did commit war crimes due to being under threat of death for themselves and their families were not prosecuted.
So you just gonna forget that the forsaken are in fact twisted af?
That forsaken quite literally plague the land they inhabit?
And that the ebon blade joined the alliance as a faction but they live in ally cities and pretty much keep to themselves away from civilizations
I mean not like that’s even some heinous act, either.
Approaching a society that just made it through a zombie apocalypse with a delegation of… wait for it… zombies is probably a good way to get shot without any questions asked.
Yeah it is very much not surprising and I can’t blame the Alliance for doing so really, just that those zombies will not like their diplomats getting disposed off.
Although this was not about the morality of it, but rather that the person I reply to deny that it even happened.
