So you’re telling me that the dragons did not, infact, defeat Deathwing?

Furthermore the Dragon Soul needed the Essence of the Earth given to Thrall in order to defeat Deathwing!
Thrall’s use of the Earth was also needed in order to defeat Chromatus.
Because it destroys dragons from the inside out. Did you not see what it did TO ITS OWN CREATOR?
At this point you are trolling.
All Thrall did was act as a substitute for Deathwing himself, as Deathwing was still the Aspect of Earth. 4/5 of the Dragon Souls power came from the Aspects. 1/5 was a mortal shaman. But sure, give Thrall ALL the credit just because he wielded the thing.

I had no idea why Deathwing was broken. Assumed it was old god juju. Either way this is just more, and more, and more confirmation that nelf druid boi is wrong and the dragons did not defeat Deathwing.

So sad to see Dreadmoore resort to trolling

I think the issue with Tauren, besides what Shadowlands already neglects with them, represents the fundamental issue with “perspective” lore books. It permits jabs at particular groups players may have strong attachment to that might be getting justified as just “in universe author bias” (like in The Elder Scrolls). This does not work well with something that is more or less a lore book, so said biased sections will have more authority to it than some random annoying NPC conversation. We also have to speculate on what is biased.

The current lore team should retire.

I mean also if the writing team had a single (1) Native person on the team, I am 100% confident this chapter would not have been published as it was.

Wait if the runes of domination are inscribed on the Jailer – and we literally see them on Bolvar’s face – how did Jaina undo the Crown’s juju over him?
The lore team should retire.
Bold of you to assume they would not be made fun of for raising the concern, or not be one of the “well I’m not bothered by it” types.

To be fair we don’t have any stories of that at all in the retellings of abuse, and the cases of women of color being laborally abused in specific ways that shows their bosses assume they’re incompetent (e.g. micromanaging, demanding an excuse each time they get up from their desk) recognize it is because they are Black women.
What with the Quest Team of hundreds only having a handful of people of color.
Hasn’t been explained how.
Why would DKs use Maldraxxus runes when Frostmourne’s runes are Domination runes?
Well you see my dear Dreadmoore, the Lich King had free will, but he also had thoughts inserted into his brain, so Zovaal told the Lich King to plagiarize the House of Plagues plague, House of Rituals lich techniques, House of Constructs abominations, and the Primus’s first runic language.
Never mind that the majority of Wrath-era runeblades with discernable runes have “Domination” runes rather than the “Necromancy” runes, which incidentally do not resemble at all the runes on the Primus’s stole.
Also never mind that Death Knights who have the Blades of the Fallen Prince equipped or transmoged also have Domination Runes and fragments of a Mourneblade

Just checked and while the Blades of the Fallen Prince are rather firmly Domination Runes, the Apocalypse blades runes do resemble Maldraxxus/Necromancy Runes.
Diet Mourneblade
Less than Mourning, more than Pain
Sorrowblade.

Does the grimoire serve as good toilet paper at the least?

That’s a character.
On the one hand, sure. It does makes sense for Brokers to look at Elemental Shamanism and think it’s small potatoes. It’s one of the few schools of magic that seems native to the material plane and isn’t tied to to a Cosmic Power.
But as was mentioned, the issue is that this comes on top of… well… everything else.
The Horde has always had a closer relationship with death themes than the Alliance.
Orcs, Trolls, and Tauren worship their ancestors and regularly speak to their spirits from the afterlife.
Tauren had an entire WC3 unit based on the idea with Spirit Walkers.
And the Forsaken have actually died and may have experienced pieces of the Shadowlands before being raised.
But none of that is anywhere. And it’s frustrating.
I appreciate your optimisms, but I just don’t see any of that being true. So far, Blizz has been fairly clear cut as to the reality of Tauren Religion.
The Earthmother is nothing but their name for Azeroth the Titan.
Musha is just Elune.
The only unexplained thing so far is what, exactly, An’she is. And that’s mainly because they just don’t like talking about him rather than an active attempt to be mysterious.
