The entire thing was engulfed in flames, there is no surviving on that and not for that long after. Tyrande couldn’t even help them after 8.0 and wasn’t even able to get there until 8.1, Anduin didn’t want to help the night elves there either so there was obviously no support coming for them until Tyrande showed up.
The only time you get any information on Ashenvale, which is that scenario, it has a large horde presence and no night elves. There were orcs there that Tyrande had killed, demolishers as well, not just undead rogues.
Until they state otherwise the mission tables gave no relevant lore information, just like the WoD and Legion tables that were pointless as well.
Nope, when you kill the undead rogues in search of Tyrande you find dead orcs around a fire (and other places around the beach) when you are searching for clues with her owl and a destroyed demolisher, this is in Ashenvale before you move.
That’s the only part of Ashenvale we do see and it’s overrun by horde. Other than that we don’t know anything about it other than at the bottom of Darkshore it’s called “The Ashenvale Front”.
The mission table would lead you to believe the night elves were doing well in Darkshore, Ashenvale and even attacking Org before 8.1, or still evacuating Teldrassil long after it was a burnt husk. In 8.1 you can see the night elves had no presence in Darkshore and you do the warfront by invading on boat not some night elf foothold. So from that they really have no basis in what was happening in the game.
Mission table descriptions have never held any water unless direclty tied to some sort of quest line. Which they haven’t done, to my knowledge, since the Class Halls in Legion.
Darkshore was the Night Elves Elwynn forest, For a long time the only non-elf presence was a formerly neutral Troll Village that you could not reach from Darkshore itself in the pre-flying days. I’m trying to remember wheteher it was green in the old days of PVP servers but it was not a leveling area for Horde players, unlike Ashenvale.
None of them talk about a foothold, nor are we able to go to Teldrassil to see for ourselves if anything is going on there, so the Darkshore Warfront content does not contradict any of these missions as you claim.
I like the Glyph of Stars, it’s awesome looking. “Flap” works with the glyph, too. Just gets changed to “You descend on starry dust, slowing your falling speed.”
