So with 9.2.5. We get a little tease that Calia is advocating that the Forsaken should return Gilneas to the Alliance.
Does anyone have opinions on this?
Horde/Forsaken: Would this be a loss for you what with all the sacrifices made to conquer the land?
Alliance/Gilneans: Does such an offering for peace ease the animosity felt against the Horde or does this give the Alliance a new foothold to resume their crusades to reclaim lost lands for the Alliance?
Is this a step forward for peace or will a new Warhawk sabotage the occasion?
This video is six minutes of a man having no idea what “CONFIRMED” means. Clickbait. The questline is interesting though. In practice, the Forsaken have given up nothing, not even a promise, just a hint. In return, they might blunt the aggression of the faction of the Alliance most hostile to them. They might not all trust Calia, but she’s already getting work done for them, even if by accident.

I love Gilneas from a lore and aesthetic standpoint. My guild and I just had an RP session there a few weeks ago and I was just saying that Blizzard needs to do something with it because it is such a great zone and it shouldn’t be deserted anymore. The buildings, the gloom of the place, the lanterns – I really love the feel. I am really hoping that the rotbrains do give it back to the werewolves. Maybe as a token of good faith since the Alliance helped with cleaning up the blight from Undercity?
A tactical withdrawal from gilneas could be a lot of things.
If you ask me, the invasion seems to have cost the forsaken more than they bargained for, seeing as Greymane’s vendetta gained the Alliance another ally and promised that all forsken affairs would be personally meddled with on Wrynn’s dime.
Part of it is still contested territory, if the battleground is still considered canon and wars eat up soldiers and rescources like popcorn.
At this stange of the forsaken game, with the recent shake-up and recentering of power, withdrawing makes sense. The sunk-cost fallacy isn’t worth it, the extension of an olive branch (even if it’s only a theoretical one) has the potential to povide mode long-term advantages at this point of global politics.

Let’s just get one thing straight here. The Forsaken are doing NOTHING good here. The destruction to Gilneas, the blighting of the Undercity, it is all their fault. Sylvanas didn’t labor to fill hundreds of barrels of blight toxin herself. The Forsaken have their hands all over their own problems. They created these problems, and only now are they working to try and undo them for their own self-interest. Correcting their own mistakes should not be seen as generosity. THEY. OWE. US. And they have a long way to go before that debt they have incurred to the Alliance and Gilneas is anywhere close to being paid off.

My my, look at the poor exile. Clearly you are still angry that you and your fellow traitors are unable to return to the golden woods of Quel’Thalas. But, perhaps you should stick to your pity corner instead of trying to understand Lordaeron and its people. Instead of continuing with your seditious acts, you should swear off serving your Alliance masters. Then, swear fealty to the Regent-Lord and the people of Quel’Thalas. Perhaps then your transgressions might be forgiven.

A Forsaken telling me to stick to my pity corner… If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black. Your people once sought to join the Alliance too, Corpse. Yet the very instant your first peace feelers failed, the Forsaken declared undying war upon not just the Alliance, but all living beings. Your people could not get enough of being at war. The Alliance did you an injustice, this I will admit. However, your retaliation was so severe, so grandiose and spiteful in its scale that it takes my breath away. I confess I am beset by a momentary pause in my writing when I think of all of the innocent deaths the Forsaken have caused. Humanity recoiled in fear from you, and you so eagerly decided to play the role of monsters. Your response to our having slighted you was monstrous, murderous, wasteful, and a complete overreaction. You are the basest hypocrites. You call yourselves Lordaeronians, yet you invade sovereign Gilnean territory. You invade Stromic territory. You claim neutrality with Dalaran, and then murder her citizens on her own soil. You preach the Forsaken have free will, and use Banshees to control people, or re-educate them beneath the ruins of Capital City. You claim there is no joy in your curse, yet seek to inflict it upon as many people as possible. Do not speak to me of forgiveness, Forsaken. For you will toil for eternity before earning mine.

Gentleman… I do love the gumption but in the interest of avoiding derailment, let’s keep the attacks brief. Weapons are not sharp enough if your opponent still has a retort.
I’m sure that others would like to let loose a volley on the topic.
Ahhh, just when it was getting good.
