I know it’s a meta-take but I assume Broxigar’s inclusion was meant to be for horde fans to give a crap about the book series, for the same reason why Vol’jin ends up having a human friend during whatever his book was called. And there kinda wasn’t a horde back then, nor did the playable tauren even have anything to do with it, so…
Broxigar probably shouldn’t have existed anyway, but then I’d question why you’re writing a book only one race’s fans would care about.
because some people would like to read about the past of the world…and want to know what happened back then.
Since the Tauren were involved they could have played the Horde perspective.
That was seriously so dumb. You’d think Thrall, a former slave gladiator, would be real fing sensitive about that topic.
But that’s the sort of craftsmanship we should expect I guess. The Horde are slavers now. And the Alliance would never do that, because despite Stormwind being a feudal monarchy they have the same sensibilities as - well certainly not actual 21st century America but an idealized version of it.
I think it adds a couple layers of disconnect if you’re involving a tauren tribe unrelated to the playable ones that all died eons ago, compared to focusing on night elven characters that survived to the present day in the game.
I remember having a similar feeling when Meryl Felstorm showed up for the mage class hall. I had looked him up again, saw he was actually-not-a-forsaken from the awful Me’dan comics and didn’t know why I was supposed to care about him. Because he looks indistinguishable from one, I guess?
Ahem…because you forget…that stormwind isn´t the entire alliance and to focus allone on sw is one of the biggst problems of this entire story (from alliance pov)
We have Darkiron for example, they have no problem with make prissoners to slave.
One orc in the past doesn’t make up for a bad first impression?
If they’re still doing that after becoming a playable race it’s only because someone forgot they do that.
The Alliance can take in an exiled Cult of lunatics who have infused their very being with voiceless, maddening whispers from eldritch darkness and it turns out they’re just misunderstood good boys and girls who just need some patience and guidance.
Meanwhile I’m sure it’ll turn out the Vulpera actually engage in ritual child sacrifice or whatever when someone remembers there’s a Horde race not at least complicit in atrocity.
i have no information or sources who speak about that enslavement in the darkiron culture is something from the past
And the voidelves are one of the more interesting races in the Alliance, they showed the Zandalari horror and abused their entire Culture to seed fear and hopelessness in their heart, i´m not sure any other race of the world would do this with such a …efficiency and without a second thought.
Didn’t the folk tales book say that vulpera children occasionally kill each other over competition for food or something like that?
Jop, but it remember me more of real fox-puppies, they do the same thing.
Okay now you’re just being dishonest.
On the Alliance that is unambiguously depicted as an act of psychological warfare designed to actually reduce the amount of bloodshed.
That’s certainly more Batman than Superman but it’s still done in an effort to spare even enemy lives.
What? What do you think causes trauma, they may have saved lives but what good is it if their opponents are deeply traumatized and I’m sure voidraptors and a void-trex are not the greatest thing a Zandalari troll experiences when they go marauding through Dazar’Alor?
Plenty of deeply traumatized people live rich, fulfilling lives. I’ve yet to hear of anyone who went on to have a wonderful family and career after overcoming death.
I dunno; all things considered, Kel’thuzad still seems to be doing what he loves.
Hot take but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. We need more racial books.
Honestly I think they should hire a writer for every race. We really need some sort of creative congress with representatives.
No that was incorrect information some troll account fed the forums out of spite.
The wailing bone is the spirit of one of their dead group members generally, replaced via the previous bone spirit claiming a new person.
In an ideal world there is:
3-5 lead encounter devs who coordinate all the encounter teams and dungeon design
1-3 lore and questing dev per race (and double for Pandaren) that are the point people for all quests
A team of 5-10 lore experts who check all the quests for consistency and grammar (internal lore QA)
1-2 class design point dev per class that manages all the numbers guys
It is also stuff done to get at that terrible, terrible Horde. Because for some reason the sole war motivation for the Alliance has to always be vengeance and self-defense, so they get to play at being morally grey except the dark stuff doesn’t land as dark because its always in response to Evil Warchief with an army of complicit fodder.
