Then this should have better been communicated in BFA or Shadowlands rather a “Oh by the way footnote.”

For all the suppose human potential we still have Theramore in ruins and Lordearon is now forever no mans lands.
The gnomes have the unfortunate luck of having their city be a dungeon and that Ironforge is stone throw away that Blizzard seems hesitant to give the entire thing to them.
No other race, at least on Azeroth, was victim of genocide during that period.

“Human potential” is the story forum meme because everyone assumes that human fan get everything they want but nobody has actually bothered to ask any human fans for their opinion
And your numbers were wrong, as I explained also. You’re not making a very compelling argument with this. And when you say things like “they were obliterated in the maw” I have to come in and shed clarity on that because it implies they all were, which they weren’t. Your wording is always done in a way that implies things that didn’t happen.

Again, not true. Souls being sent to the maw was not a thing until it actually started happening. You can be as over dramatic as you want about this but its not going to change the truth.

Definitely not forever, as the blight is not fading away bit by bit according to the Exploring Azeroth book.
The lead there was J. Proudmoore. She is currently the lead of Kul Tiras. The original “plan” was to give Dalaran in exchange for Theramore being taken. Didn’t last long.
IMO a lot of it is a questionable resource management.

Wow night elves just can’t catch a break. Elune being unable to stop the burning is fine. Because if she did that would just raise a lot question why she didn’t intervein other atrocities. But you would think she would be a top of the knowledge that ALL the souls were going to the maw. Unless their is something I missed.

Depends on who uses that.
I use it to highlight the bias in the narative to favour some characters and treat everything else as a tool to push the stories of those selected few.
Like mentioned before: Uther (while blaming Devos for leading him the way he followed) being the one who shows the right™ path to the ancient kyrians, who might (some) exist longer that the physical reality of the Warcraft universe. Like, one can’t make this up.
(and a number of other arguably ridiculous choices)

Come to think of it, Uther is the only one that personally “fixes” the Covenant.
- Renathal doesn’t learn anything from Kael’thas, but does think he’s cool
- Winter Queen doesn’t learn anything from Ysera, but does choose to give her “life”
- Primus doesn’t learn anything from Draka, but does value her
You’re misunderstanding me.
What named characters are stated to have died in the fire/war of thorns?
While Renathal does not learn much, we discussed at one point how problematic it is to have Revendreth (which is an “extention” of the pantheon of Death) as an ultimate judge of what is sin and what is not. So, this covenant is through and through seems to be intertwined with the mortals’ morality in general.
Another example of HP would be Anduin. Even when MCd, he did not kill anybody, because how could he. Even when a “titan ++” is at full power Anduin can just drop the compass in the right place.
Kind of comical IMO.

Unless you decide that only “big” NPCs are allowed to have meaning in WoW, there is no misunderstanding. There is a bunch of stories “forever lost” with some of those deaths. From priestell sad about killing the “beloved of Elune” (when such statement had some meaning) to exploring the use of dream catchers on local druids, etc.

Yup, and the problematicness is rooted in the lack of clarity on WoW’s Soteriology and Harmatology.
And don’t forget Bolvar’s centrality

Go to the wowpedia. Tell me names of npcs who are confirmed dead from the War of Thorns/Burning.
If this is your evidence of human favoritism or whatever then it’s even weaker than I thought. Tyrande is doing ninja flips, channeling gods, and conjuring titan artifacts two zones over but really it’s Anduin that’s ridiculous because he dropped a compass

Elune’s only connection to the Shadowlands is her sister. And if Winter Queen is one side of the coin, then Elune is the Life of Nature, while WQ is Death of Nature. Remember that WQ didn’t even know what was going on, or why the anima was short, only that souls weren’t coming in to Ardenweald. It wasn’t until we showed up and saw what was happening the Maw. So if the First Ones in Shadowlands didn’t even know what was going on, how is an entity not so related to the Shadowlands going to know about the soul funnel being broken?

Also Bolvar has done absolutely nothing this expansion aside from get repeatedly owned.
Address his point rather than doubling down on your point again.

Don’t worry everyone. It’ll make more sense a few financial quarters later when they release an Elune book.
Yeah it seems now like she’s just an idiot who let her darlings get massacared to essentially bail out her sister’s failing business, then never even bothered to check if they’d been deposited in the correct account.
But this is nothing a literal novel length explanation can’t fix. Months later when everyone has stopped caring.
