Adding Sethrak to the alliance, and sparking up the Vulpera Sethrak conflict would go a long way. I know that might not be popular.
Just have the Alliance bring in the worst Sethrak war criminal to help them build a lightning machine like project paperclip, then have the Vulpera Mussad come take him out in Stormwind during a science prize acceptance speech. You can even have the Alliance not know he was a shnotzi so they can feel better about it.
One of my favorite parts of Dragonflight is the very beginning, where you meet up with the Vulpera Pathfinders.
When they jumped off the platform and used gliders, I was like hot damn!
That little moment with the Vulpera was the highlight of Dragonflight for me.
Anyway, I could totally see Vulpera Pathfinders descending from the Cathedral and Rogues popping out, causing a ruckus in Stormwind.
Too bad we need a reason. Yours works.
Vorrik tries to fix the status between Vulpera and the Zandalari. Joining the alliance would burn alot of Bridges.
I was looking them up again because it’s been a while and my conclusion is, the Sethrak are so cool you almost can’t screw them up. Make them evil AF and I will be evil AF. Give them paladins and white wash them and I’ll get on my holy krolusk charger.
I am actually surprised they haven’t formed in an alliance to the Zandalari yet considering they lived in the same place for thousands of years.
They could introduce a new faction of playable Sethrak who are mad about the disproportionate response of the Vulpera “freedom fighters” during BfA. Some of those faithless probably had children who are now orphans. Brides who are now widows.
Oh no we killed Slavers. The horror. Lmao. Vorrik is a negotiator so if anything joins the alliance it will be a Korthek successor.
I find it absolutely adorable that a bunch of lil fox people teamed up with the horde and beat the snot out of the Faithless Sethrak.
But to be fair, the faithless Sethrak deserved everything that happened to them. They wanted to enslave everyone else and turn Zandalar into their own little empire
Absolutely.
That doesn’t stop a younger generation of Sethrak from being angry.
Of course. But I would also imagine there also Sethrak, young and old, keeping an eye out for such people and dealing with it quickly.
Vorrik and the Devoted will rebuild their people. That includes ties to Talanji and the rest of vol’dun.
They aren’t the rabid monsters of the Order of the Pack… They are a civilised people who got tossed a curve ball and have dealt with it. Slasher Nation, no matter how much it might appeal to the Hammer crowd, doesn’t work in this setting.
tbf, Genn was trying to be the big bad werewolf in Cathedral Square during the escape from Stormwind.
I love the escape from Stormwind. It was very reminiscent of escaping the Death Star - saving the princess from the heart of the evil empire.
Or other fantasy tales - saving the Princess from the clutches of the Ice Witch, the Werewolf king, and their wicked boy king.
Thank god somehow Talanji had the foresight to bring that crazy arsonist Zul along with her.
I have stated before that it feels like blizzard completely canned the caravan aspect of the Vulpera, just as badly as they canned the technology of the Mag’har/Blackfuse and the sheer power of the Shal’dorei.
Things that they could fix if they just move things around it in orgrimmar by including some iron stars mixed in with the demolishers, and a chrono orchard tended by shaldorei.
For Vulpera just simply adding a few escort quests related to trucking caravanning between outposts to restock goods would show they have a cultural place within the horde.
Wouldn’t hold my breath; the smart thing to do would be to overhaul Kalimdor/EK to show a post-post Cataclysm world where they can add in stuff like that which reminds you that by now some of the “newer” Horde races have been members for like 10 years, more if you count the timeskip briefly mentioned in DF.
But idk maybe it’s intentional. Just because you’re a member of the Horde doesn’t necessarily mean you want to have anything to do with Durotar/Orgrimmar, and I wouldn’t blame anyone for avoiding that dump when you’ve got like in the case of the Nightborne, an eternal magical awesome city with guards and vineyards and magic stuff.
A city that will be perpetually locked during legionfall and you can only tangibly interact with 15% of it.
But hey at least they have a playable city.
Lmao worgen.
Guards that will kill you on sight, just that slight bug in the ointment.
Good god really? I haven’t been back there in ages, they didn’t do an instanced version where the guards are neutral?
Ah what am I saying it’s Blizzard. Stratholme is still on fire lol.
You can interact with like 5% of the city in the instanced version. It’s a small very specific area of the city.
