The 1000 years of war actually already established and dealt with the void whispers issue. From her own head perspective.
Blizz can always retcon random stuff but at that point we’re in a random speculation scenario.
A lot of random dialogue did seem to indicate that they wanted the Alliance to attack Silvermoon though, from Umbric, to Turalyon wanting to retake more warcraft II stuff.
Not a third faction, just them not following her. Seeing tauren captaining airships dropping blight on stuff on Sylv’s orders was messed up.
Well i admit, they can do whatever but it would be a first as far as updating cities and zones go.
Wanna also talk about how many times I’ve had to remind people that for the Alliance to “retake” Lordaeron, it would have needed to be part of the current Grand Alliance to begin with?
If I recall correctly, the Horde version of the Uldir raid is the canon one.
It was pretty dumb and out of character, but it would be a logistical nightmare in terms of gameplay and unlikely in terms of lore (and small faction trying to break away from the Horde while Sylv was still in charge was going to end up dead…quick like)
The smart thing to do would have been…Don’t erase the character development from MoP and WoD and Legion with Garrosh 2.0.
It’s… a really dumb story point and it made me feel nothing but tired.
It is.
The whole story of Zandalar leads up to it and Horde get a quest to stain Vol’jin’s blade with Ghuun’s blood while Alliance get no quest.
I feel this in my bones.
The problem with this is that it was a big part of the alliance classic story. Which was pretty dumb but it was a way to create conflict with the forsaken…as if the zombies attacking and kidnapping alliance wasn’t enough lol.
It’s pretty stupid that to this day our pv symbol is Lordaeron’s crest.
The Alliance doesn’t even have a version of it really, none of our gameplay leads to it.
“Hey champion, wanna explore these ruins with Brann?”
I think we should have just skipped all that anyway. They can’t write wars properly, they should have focused on the void instead.
“Nah fam, last time I was there we found an eldritch horror that has left me scarred for life. I’m good.”
Or orcs.
Well i was thinking of the one with the golden troll boss, i think it’s obviously canon that the horde would have dealt with horde problems in zandalar. but in game alliance can still do their dungeons.
I think this is for gameplay reasons. Horde can do Alliance dungeons too. Heck, Horde can even do Stormwind Stockade iirc.
Atal’Dazar? The Alliance canonically go there to confront Gallywix during the war campaign, if I recall correctly. Not sure if they do anything else there.
I’ve also seen people using the “We can cleanse the blight and take over” thing with that too.
Far too many Alliance players want Horde areas to be “developed” by being “saved” by them.
That wouldn’t be a problem if people could finally move on.
It’s not the second war anymore.
High Elves are not in the Alliance anymore.
Lordaeron is no longer part of the Alliance anymore.
The Troll Empire it’s long gone and the tribes are completely different now.
If some Alliance players can’t get on with the times, that’s something they should have to deal with, not have the Horde affected by it.
Oh yeah, how dare Blizzard diversify the world instead of having humans taking over everything… 
Or literally anything else.
Look I’m one of the rare folks who liked large parts of BfA, but the big war thing was:
A) Lackluster at best
B)An unnecessary retelling of the Garrosh story, but even less believable and
C) Dumb…really really really dumb.
That final cut scene with Saurfang and Sylvanas was cool to watch though. Even if it makes as much sense as a tune and jelly taco.
The dungeon itself was done by the Horde, the Alliance have a stunt there briefly but that’s all they do.
On fire more than usual today Midare omg.
