genn is technically a human and a member of the original Alliance, where he did have to answer to the king of Lordaeron like all the other eastern kingdoms, Anduin being High King means he controls ALL alliance forces. if its a military organization, they should administer military punishments.
Then genn did the same thing and basically got a pat on the head? yeah I remember.
No.
Read BtS.
High king is a honorary tile where others alliance nations DONATE troops so it can be used where the high king decides is necessary.
but he has NOT control over alliance nations or leaders. they basically can do whatever the hell they want.
He only can punish those troops under his. but not other leaders.
Garrosh ordered Sylvanas and her Forsaken to invade Gilneas in an attempt to create a Horde war port that would have become a Horde equivalent to Theramore to even the odds in the war between the Horde and Alliance.
Gilneas at the time was both an inactive and neutral, inactive because of the events of the Worgen curse and neutral because of leaving the Alliance at the worst possible time. Because of this, you can make the argument that whither Gilneas is active anymore and their lands are fair game to claim for anyone.
Should Genn have attacked the Forsaken when he did? Probably not, though I can see arguments for it.
That said, the war was still officially not on until Sylvanas attacked the Night Elves later on. So if we want to isolate a reason, she chose to reignite it with a pre-preemptive strike.
But sure if i can blame other nations for leaving the alliance i can blame pretty much the entire world like quelthalas or kultiras leaving the alliance.
but the thing is, i really canât considering that each nation have their own sovereignty.
From what I understand, Gennâs agents in Asuna found about Sylvanasâ plan for Stormheim. So that whole operation was to deny Sylvanas her victory while everyone else was distracted on Legion.
Which from an Alliance perspective.
Good job Genn.
I did not want Odyn and all his warriors at our throats.
