It wasn’t one guy. They left during the second war. Garithos was the third war and it was only when Kael was trying to help and find a solution to the well. He wasn’t rejoining the Alliance. And it was good thing in the long run.
Well he was to blame. He took his dark turn before even becoming possessed.
We still live in our city. Not mud huts.
It was for faction balance, but also Belves were already out of the Alliance. The most they would have become otherwise was independent NPCs.
I can only imagine the mud and spikey huts are the Orc version of high fashion. If not, then why not get a few Belf interior decoraters and architects to “modernize” things a bit.
I know a guy selling a canon real cheap. Let’s go halvesies on it and we can just start shooting them out into the ocean in hopes of finding an island for them. Will they even survive the initial blast? Maybe, eventually. Last I checked Elves weren’t quitters.
The newly mortal Night Elves owed much to Jaina’s Humans and Thrall’s Horde. It doesn’t make sense for the Night Elves to hold Thrall’s Horde in such vitrol, at the very least, that they align themselves with the Alliance of Khaz Modan and Azeroth and fight the Orcs largely on their behalf while Jaina’s humans sit on their hands for the most part and don’t really venture out of Dustwallow Marsh.
Forsaken don’t owe allegiance to anyone, doing their own thing (like Sylvanas was doing) should have been their whole thing. They’re outcasts, and absolutley no faction in the established lore of the time would have aligned themselves with monstrosities long term.
Blood Elves wouldn’t have ever sided with the Horde because Sylvanas shouldn’t have been a Horde character and she was their “in” to begin with
Whoever necro’d this thread is a bit off, but yeah, I also feel this way. Blood elves have absolutely solidified themselves as core members, and people who stick to the whole mentality of “blood elves don’t belong in the Horde” are just not wanting to adapt.
