Yep, I have.
She wanted power, and she got it. That was the reason.
It’s pretty cut-and-dried.
Fine, I’ll say it. I find the lore boring.

Listen, man, you’re not paying attention.
It’s pretty damn crazy to kill him for no reason when if she HAD NOT, she would have had an equal amount of power as Queen of Lordaeron, but also not created a bunch of division between her people and their living relatives.
There is also no meaningful lore about how a people that had been engaged in bitter war against the Orcs would join their Horde.
lol no she wouldn’t.
You feel very strongly about all of this, I can tell because you keep yelling. I’m going to leave you to it because I see the story in shades of gray and I don’t think we’re going to agree.

How so?
What, you think Magni or child Anduin would have somehow put her under their thumbs?
Human are like chimp jealous and evil. So i rather be something else when i play
Not at all. I don’t think Magni or Bolvar Fordragon would have accepted an undead elf as “Queen” of Lordaeron. She did what she needed to do to survive.
But that just isn’t supported nor even alluded to in the actual story.
They never even got the chance to accept or reject her.
Can you really see a culture of light-worshipers accepting a culture of undead? Apparently that’s what’s happening in your head. That’s just not how the story goes, though.

Who were their relatives.
Versus joining forces with alien invaders that they had just fought a war against.
THINK, man.
Because this game is fundamentally about faction war. That’s the underlying thread that spans Azeroth. In such a war I would prefer to be the savage creatures who give no quarter than the prissy pretties who run from conflict.
If I saw this game as primarily about slaying dragons, I would have never have even tried it out.
Interested to see how you relate to horde lore
Yes absolutely.
No problem with a faction war.
The issue is that in the pre-existing story, it does not MAKE SENSE that the undead would be in the Horde.
You’re trying to make the lore into what you want it to be, not how it actually is (in the early days).
If you want reconciliation between humans and undead, you’ll have to jump forward in time to the reappearance of Calia Menethil and the start of BFA.
Eh, no not really.
If people who are human and forsaken have relatives with each other then, by definition, that was true before hand.
Try again.
I relate to the Forsaken on a very primal level because of my personal history of losing everything I’d known, and falling into a deep depression for years. Of having friends and family turn away from me because I’d been fundamentally altered in body and mind. Then coming back, a changed person determined to go on.

Honest question.
Why would you want to play human in a fantasy game, where you can be literally anything else.

That’s only half the story though.
You’re conveniently ignoring the fact that Lordaeron had just fought and won an apocalyptic war against the Orcs.
Yes, and for a long time, the humans were led to believe that the undead were monsters, even their relatives; while many undead cultivated a deep hatred for the living.
Being related doesn’t automatically ensure acceptance.
