We are already there, boyo.
Total War would not be had if the Horde had the moral uprightedness to NOT defend Sylvanas. Yet, they did… We had an entire expansion showing us they did.
It’s not about the “Evil tendencies” of the normal, everyday person.
Normal, everyday people do not burn children alive.
I talked about this awhile back, so I will just repost that.
the Night Warrior was about the Kaldorei reclaiming power and purpose after it is taken from them by Sylvanas with the Burning of Teldrassil. I mean, the Terror of Darkshore cinematic actually made me emotional when I first saw it, because it is really the only time in WoW where the Kaldorei are presented in a powerful and scary way. And that is really important for the Kaldorei as a whole… I mean, their whole thing savage amazons, the “perfect warriors” according to Grom Hellscream. The whole appeal of playing a Kaldorei is the duality of barbarism of civility. Tranquil forests, Temples of monolithic marble. Women, muscular and scarred from battle, dressed in elegant, moonlit white gowns with fangs and a steely gaze like that of a Lioness, blood soaking her claws and the scent of wine lingering on her lips.
The “Renewal” of the Kaldorei involves a reclamation of power. I don’t necessarily mean in the sense of armies or hero power levels.
What I mean to say that “renewal” for the Kaldorei is impossible when the one who took everything from them can do so with impunity. Vengeance, in this case, is fundamental to the reclamation of Kaldorei power and thus fundamental to Kaldorei renewal.
The Night Warrior should have never been a tradeoff. The Night Warrior should have never been presented as if it were a bad thing.
After facing tragedy and trauma… finding power and purpose is fundamental for survival. And really… the only suitable end for Shadowlands is Tyrande killing Sylvanas. Sending her to be with Nathanos.
