From the current raid: “King Rastakhan of Zandalar…I order you to submit! You will bow before your new master, King Anduin Wrynn, and you will deliver your daughter to us as a hostage!”
It’s nice that Genn thinks of Anduin as “master.” He’s a good boy!
PS: Worst surrender demand ever. It’s almost like Genn wanted to make sure there was a fight to the death.
To summarize Etheldald’s link, what you’re seeing is, ‘Unreliable Narrator.’ A Zandalari Troll is embellishing the events of what transpired. Genn doesn’t call Anduin, ‘Master,’ when he actually speaks to Rastakan.
If we are suddenly believing unreliable narrators then that means Jaina was right in her Warbringer video and it was actually the Horde who are agressors, not Daelin! That works for me.
Did we really need the introduction of an unreliable narrator into the narrative? Isn’t Blizzard doing a bang up job of unreliability without extra steps?
Well let’s be honest. There were more than a few people genuinely thinking Blizzard might do just that with the Daelin hero worship in Kul Tiras and Blizzard’s tendancy these days to whitewash anything that might make any act of the Alliance look dubious.
Oh come on, I send people on a one-way vacation to the Void and practice Void-Fueled Necromancy as a form of psychological warfare. There’s no white-washing that.
I’d like to think the Void Elves could be Masters of Interrogation to be honest, and not just because of psychological horror/torture. I could see the Void Elves using their power to peel back the layers of the mind and unearth the secrets within. Not just that either. I could see Void Elves re-wiring the minds of captives, planting commands like, “Kill Sylvanas on Sight,” or, “Each week write a detailed report of the Horde’s plans and give it to a Void Elf in Booty Bay.”
Honestly, the Void Elves are not being used to their fullest possible extent.
