Is Calia Menethil a traitor?

Not much on the whole history but wasn’t her father a founding member of the Alliance?

Why is she helping the Horde?

Because the writers are trash.

More in-depth, the writers probably actually planned on pushing that stupid “now the undead work tirelessly to save the living!” garbage but when they got so much backlash, they fell back on “hurr hurr, it was never meant to go in!” excuse as if some rogue intern typed all that in without anyone noticing while someone was up from their desk. Now undead are stuck with Calia wanting to save the living but an undead playerbase that likes the old undead theme.

She ain’t helping the Horde, she trying to steal the Forsaken from the Horde. Death to Calia!

One could say it is because the undead were shunned. Which is the reason the forsaken joined the horde in WoW. However, Calia is a lightforged alliance abomination that has no place in the horde and feels no pain like the forsaken does. It’s so dumb that they are trying to make her a forsaken leader. Keep her away from the forsaken they deserve someone better like Voss who actually understands the forsaken.

Calia hasn’t been a member of the Alliance in a long time and never of the current Alliance. Since the Third War she’s always maintained neutrality as just a priest and never cared about the factions.

But events have pushed her to want to help her people, the forsaken. She’s not out for power, she just wants to support them in their deathly lives. Now that Sylvanas is gone Lilian is speaking for the forsaken right now, but Lilian wants Calia to return to the throne so she’s involving with the Horde now. Since the forsaken are part of them.

Blizzard should just kill her off then. It’s obvious nobody but the alliance likes her.

I don’t really think she is undead, but yeah, I think she might be the first of the new “undead-like” allied race for the Alliance.

The Forsaken are the people of Lordaeron. Lordaeron joined the Horde. Calia is from Lordaeron. So theoretically, Calia belongs in the Horde.

I’m willing to give her a chance as a horde faction leader myself. However, she better not just be an alliance spy. Until the writers actually have her do something that strictly benefits the horde or marks her as a horde character. I’m not really fond of her. But I’ll still say give her a chance at least.

I don’t think Blizz will go that direction. Wouldn’t make any sense.

Eh, after BFA I don’t trust blizzard with horde story.

You definitely got shafted on the story. Went in a weird direction.

That’s how placeholders work though.

She’s Lightforged Undead.

She was brought back to life by a Naaru, a Paladin and an Undead Priest. She’s not lightforged. Shes kind of a mixture of both.
