It’s contextualization of the “end result”, which throughout BfA turned out to not be much of an “end” result at all.
That Rezan WENT to Ardenweald at all is surprising considering that he died to old god blood magic which made everyone question his soul’s existence and the fact that everyone was being funneled into the maw at the time. Is he in the Maw? Is that where we encounter him? Would be cool to get there and he’s just eating everything that comes near him until he sees us.
It seems all wild gods go to Ardenweald independent of the Arbiter, just go straight there
Point in fact we see no Wild Gods in Revendreth
and Hi’reek should definitely be in vampireville! I wish that were the loa death in the cinematic instead of ursoc.
I like how applying an ounce of strategy to move enemy forces out of position means those forces no longer “count”.
Yeah, I remeber when the NEs got their capital city and World Tree back and no NE ever complained about losing them again.
Darkshore and I assume Ashenvale. The NEs were not taken off Kalimdor, regardless of Teldrassil burning.
You didn’t say getting wiped off the continent. You said managing. I dunno if I count losing your capital “managing”.
Also, has it been stated that the NEs recovered Ashenvale? Or are you just assuming?
I would still say the fact they have a strong presence on the continent managing, yeah.
I said it right there lol. No, I don’t believe there is any dev confirmation, so it’s technically up in the air… unless the book says something about it that idk. The mission board thing at the very least shows they still have a presence there throughout BfA. They also still have a presence in Nordrassil and I assume Feralas since nothing happened in Feralas during BfA.

But trolls are not 120.000 years old, only 17.000^^
And Darkspear magic wiped out Lightforged and their supposedly superior machinery in Drustvar. From that point they’re perfectly capable of standing up against “oh so advanced” nations.
Why?

Hi’reek sided with G’huun. He knew better. Any loa knows better. He got power hungry.
He didn’t side with G’huun he was corrupted like Ursoc was. Hi’reek was not power hungry, he was benevolent Loa. Read it up in Loa tales.

The “Army” was composed of City guards we even have had a quest to recruite them, a few dryads and treeants that happend to be living there …
So yeah …
Canon is the entire sentinel army was dispatched to Silithus in order to fight the entire horde army there alone.
That tells you a bit more about the actual might of the NEs.
It is allways teh same, the horde pulls out some stuff from their buts to succeeds … it is a major deus ex machina all the time.
Yeah, your army got outmaneuvered. It’s called strategy, and it’s a huge part of warfare.
The fact that the Horde was able to lure enough of your defenders away that you could no longer defend means you weren’t able to manage the Horde.
Well … yes we got worfed again by writers. Huge deal … you even go physics bendig for it to work … nothing to be really proud of … you basically had the story of a 6years old who wrote “and then they won, end”
Still doesn’t say anything about the actual strength of the military force.
That’s a weird take. I could say the same thing about every accomplishment the NEs have ever had. Or anyone for that matter. It’s all because of the writers, we’re not responsible for any of it.
I don’t think the Legion sits around going, “Our infinite empire is undefeatable! We only lost cause bad writers!”
Not saying they don’t have a strong military force. Just saying that military force failed to manage the Horde during the War of Thorns.
Actually this brings up a great point! If the infinite armies of the Legion can be defeated by like one lil planet and one Edgelord… then I don’t see why the Farraki couldn’t be written to be stronger in Kalimdor.
No reason they couldn’t. All they need is one ridiculous mcguffin they unearthed in the desert and they can deus ex themselves wherever the writers want.

That is another thing that bugged me. It is clearly stated in the shrine to Rezan that Zul used Rezans “essence” (essence has been used to mean soul before, for example Eonar refers to her soul as her “essence” in her encounter in ABT) to revive Dazar.
“His essence was consumed by the Prophet Zul in an effort to perversly resurrect the first king of Zandalar.”
Blizzard is even retconning things that happened in BFA. Do they have no shame?
That has been done before with Kazzak digging up some “artifact” that allowed him to reactivate the Dark Portal, thus starting TBC. Thereby making his vanilla world boss encounter non-canon, as he would’ve returned to the twisting nether when killed. Instead he found that artifact, activated the portal and got promoted by Kil’jaeden. Then given the task to lead the Legions forces on Outland.
Correction: His soul was used to reanimate King Dazar, it was not destroyed.
The speculation was if Dazar was put again to rest would Rezan reincarnate.
