Bring the Laughing Skull clan home

To the Alliance! Their long lost allies. The Laughing Skull fought alongside the Alliance in Warcraft 2 during the Draenor Campaign, only to be derailed are negotiations fell free. The Laughing Skull need to come back to the Alliance so SI:7 can have a squadron of fel orc assassins!

In fairness, shouldn’t that also mean that the Horde regains Alterac?

You present a bait request and the reason it shall not happen, at the same exact time!!

Well done!!

Shouldn’t you be posting this under the reversed name of a well-known partisan poster?

I guess we’re going for a blackout on the “[Horde race] should be on the Alliance” bingo card.

Had to literally go back to a 30 yr old game that’s older than most of its current playerbase to dig up some poor rage bait.

And besides, the alliance has the far superior Man’ari. :dracthyr_crylaugh:

I mean we already have the Man’ari. What makes you think we cant try and redeem fel orcs?

Since this post is some deplorable bait, I propose that we repurpose it to a more productive conversation topic. Such as the care routine of more monster-looking races. Do taurens use shampoo to preen their entire body hair? Do some taurens have more luscious hair/fur than others? Do they use any products to give their horns some extra lustre?

I headcanon that Tauren, like Draenei and Man’ari, have beautiful manes/hair and hooves that make others jealous.

I imagine taking care of their hooves is probably more important though. Got to keep them clean and free of debri so infection doesn’t set in

Ok Zerde, you are correct. Fel orcs for the Alliance is a swell idea.

More importantly: why do all male Tauren have butt lice?

Ask our horned poster in tacky beach episode outfit, he might shed some light on this mystery

Personally I dont care enough about this because in a hypothetical situation we did get orcs/fel orcs whatever the Horde will likely get non-undead humans.

Having said that this is certain a possibility if Blizzard wanted to weaken the faction barriers further without totally dismantling it by giving both sides access to nearly all race types in one fashion or another.

Horde lore already gets ignored (see: the fact they were working on a Fel Orc Cure back in TBC, all of BFA, Vol’jin, etc…) so pretending this isn’t a joke/ragebait/early april fool’s etc post, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Fine but then the Horde get the Alteraci. And also they need to be Germans. Those accents have to come from somewhere and the mountain towners have Swiss cheese.

That was reconned away by the Beyond the Dark Portal novel.

I dont think it was retconned so much as just not mentioned. I mean the novel never mentioned the Alliance going to Farahlon but that is canon.

Entry 1) First, an introduction. I am Archmage Vargoth, leader of the first Kirin Tor expedition to Draenor. We have accompanied Alliance forces through the Dark Portal, and now set up base camp - Kirin’Var Village - in Farahlon, near the ancestral home of the Laughing Skull clan of orcs. Such a lovely place!

Forgot about the journal entry and while it mentions that was there was a truce between the Alliance forces in the area and the Laughing Skull, the details aren’t mentioned. Which is a shame because now I’m curious on how that all worked.

Like we know in the game, the Laughing Skull stole the Book of Medivh and gave to the Alliance, after the later helped gain dominance over Draenor’s northern clans. Where as in the novel, the book remained with Ner’zhul up until he left Draenor with his chosen, and then the dying Obris giving the book to Khadgar as an act of defiance against Ner’zhul.

So the Book of Medivh wasn’t involved in this and the main Alliance army in Draenor had split after the siege of Hellfire Citadel. Danath, Kurdran, and their forces chasing after Ner’zhul, while Turalyon, Alleria, and Khadgar led theirs to do battle with Deathwing in order to claim the Skull of Gul’dan.

So perhaps there were hostiles in the region and the both sides just decide it was better to not fight it out and be potentially over taken in the aftermath.
