To suggest that King Terenas Menethil could, or should, have spoken for his family’s actions after he was murdered is nonsensical.
There is actual quest dialog within the game that shows Calia is still beloved by her former subjects.

Seems Calia went ahead and took all the kingdom to herself. heh
I’m ok with it, but it looks more like a typo.
That’s just more of Blizzard screwing up the story. There’s absolutely zero reason for the people to love Calia. She did nothing to earn that love.

Well lore wise most of the Forsaken are her fallen peoples. So they referring to her in such a manner wouldn’t be that odd either. Matter of fact in the book that covered the gathering between the Alliance and Forsaken is was clear that many present still respected her and understood that what happened to them was not her fault and that she suffered at the hands of Arthas as well.
If Calia was true to her people she would hold a huge grudge against the alliance, you know the ones that hunted the forsaken as animals

You played both sides but you’re Alliance.
If your blood runs Horde you should hate all Alliance transplants.

LOL yes it would. Before they died the king stripped her of her title.
Respected her for what? She did nothing while she was alive but princess around the castle and have a princess fit when her father arranged a marriage for her, which is what nobles always do.
How so? She hid the entire time Arthas was rampaging the country side.

“Earning” and monarchy hardly have anything to do with one another.
And I wouldn’t attach the word “love” to Forsaken either. They just seem perpetually bitter.
If Forsaken are supposed to be all about the “real people of Lordaeron”, it makes sense Calie would be the ‘real queen’.

The king stripped her of the princess title when she married a commoner.
All you guys saying she’s the rightful heir have no idea what you’re talking about.

House Menethil was and is highly esteemed. The monument to Terenas still stands in undercity.
You don’t blame the group someone used to belong to when he goes rogue.

Has anyone seen an NPC directly refer to her as Queen?
Other than to be murdered by Sylvanas when she showed how much she does care for Lordaeron’s former subjects.
Understand…I am not defending Calia’s ‘right’ to any throne, because there IS no throne…but there is a lot of personal bias being used here to discredit her, and not enough actual fact being presented. And I agree that the recent quest text referring to her as ‘Queen’ is faulty…or perhaps, premature.

You very much do. It doesn’t make sense but it’s how people work.
There’s no bias, not with me anyways. I’m reading her backstory, which is more then most people in this thread are doing.
The only notable thing Calia did before and after she died was run away from an arranged marriage. Then she was in hiding for years. Those two things do not equal love and respect from the people.
The situation you’re talking about happened well after the fact when all the residents of Lordaeron were already Forsaken. Why would they have love and respect for a monarch that did nothing for them while she was alive and when they were going through the hardships of being Forsaken?
That’s what I mean by that was just Blizzard screwing up the story again.

I know what you mean. But that’s not the case here, because the group he has betrayed is itself one of the victims.
its funny to read everyone so upset about Calia
Did they do the same when:
- Moira married the hated enemies of her people
- Tess stepped in and replaced Genns the only living heir

Seems like there are some interesting RP opportunities here for little cultural rifts amongst the forsaken about how they view Calia (an outsider, a leader, the leader).
Both inside and outside the forsaken, I could see NPCs mistakenly attributing titles to her from time to time when talking to or about her. It seems very natural to be some confusion out there.
(so even if it was a slip-up, I have no problems rolling with it)
Nether of those situations equals an Alliance plant being a Horde racial leader.
Pretty sure that’s the big difference.
