By definition, Alliance is a organization brings together many members with common interests or goals. But what about times when they have nothing in common? When there is no war, no world threats? During such phase, Alliance members should be more concerned about their own individual interests. Although they may form friendly relationships, their main motivation is not to seek their own place in the world like the Horde or to deepen bonds with other members. Each of them should have their own ambitions, matters and opinions.
The title doesnât literally talk about the collapse of Alliance, but I feel that internal division would greatly help refresh blue faction. Now all members seem to be henchmen of the Wrynn family, they have to run to the High King of the Alliance with every decision, send him troops without question (when this title become hereditary?) and panic when any human character is in danger.
Let Stormiwnd try to unite humanity perhaps even by force. Survivors from Dalaran and other places should seek refuge in Stormwind, but they promise help only if they pledge full loyalty to the kingdom. Prohibition to make own decisions without Alliance consent, and the ban to cooperate with Horde are conditions that many may not like. Let this infamous and terrible Stormwind nobility finally shine.
Increasing importance of Ironforge. Dwarves are in the best position to rival or even surpass power of humans, and Council of the three hammers should be aware of this. Let them put pressure on other alliance members to transfer title of the High King to Dagran. Bring the shady Moira back!
Gnomes: let them finally get Gnomeregan back. As the Dwarves closest allies, their support for Ironfoge should be absolute. Their reunion with Mechagnomes would be a cool reason to entire race slowly transitions to being more mechanical and emotionless. Let them create a new religion based entirely on machines/titan worship. Create our own version of Adeptus mechanicus in Wow.
Night Elves: Feeling betrayed after the 4th war all Kaldorei forces should return to Kalimdor and go into semi-isolation. Distancing themselves from the rest of the world wonât be so drastic like before wc3 but military assistance outside of Kalimdor and nature related threats is completely out of the game.
Draenei : make them a bit more fanatical. Humans worship the Light wrong, Kaldorei worship its strange filter, the coexistence with Eredar, dark iron and VE is pure heresy. Let such voices appear more often on the lips of some npcs. Make the cultural divide between Broken, draenei, Lightforged and Eredar more visible, causing problem for Velen. Itâs impossible for everyone to just get along. Division in society is inevitable. At this point, the Draenei are a bit too perfect as it is.
Worgens : Some worgen shoudnât not see the new queen as a worthy leader. Let Tess make mistakes. Her lack of Goldrinn curse has become a topic of discussion as to she truly understands her cursed people. Retcon Heritage quest. Let the dilemma of becoming a worgen return.
The two general things affecting the entire faction I would most like to see, are struggle for the crown of the high king. The human kingdoms and the Draenei would side with Anduin. On Dagranâs side, all the dwarven clans and gnomes. Part of the story would be about trying to gain support from other members and the competition between these two candidates. I donât want it to be too brutal and a cold battle only about power, both sides believe that their vision of Alliance is simply better for the entire organization.
Of course with Scarlets causing chaos from the shadows.
The second thing is the territorial aggression of the Night Elves on Kalimdor, especially when it comes to North. Let them take over Warsong Clan role and with some more extreme members of society invade the Horde outposts in the Azshara. Bring back these aggressive Night Elves from Season of Discovery. Show dissatisfaction with the presence of other races in Cenarion Circle and other parts of northern Kalimdor. Removing Goblins from Winterspring and Felwood would reignite faction tension.
Both of these threaths can be connect in interesting ways.
Kaldorei support for both candidates would be a key element of the campaign. But they wonât vote for you without getting something in return. Officially acknowledging and support for Kaldorei aggression would be a ticket to having most of the Alliance on your side. But this would risk damaging long-repaired relations with the Horde. This would be very interesting dilemma for both camps. Is it worth risking world stability to seize power at the price of a better future for the Alliance according to your own beliefs?
This is the kind of conflict I would like to see inside Alliance.
Of course, I am in favor of the Dwarves winning the crown. From the beginning, wow, Humans rule the Alliance, which is terribly boring, especially if we look at the warchief representation of the Horde. During competition, I wouldnât mind if some characters died or became bosses.
