You need to look at the lore again, the maddess comes from rot, when your undead your body keeps rotting, its just really slow, BTS comfirms this.
Yeah theyâve Forsaken too feeble to clap but then you jump to the cinematics and theyâre busting out of Orc grips and doing backflips that Olympic Gymnasts would kill for.
Iâm read up on Undead lore. Itâs unreliable. Case and point the Forsakenâs racial regenerates them so - just snack on a murloc now and again youâll be fine.

lol cause the lore is the way it is your headcanon of undeath being better than the afterlife is canon? Ok undead
This is objectively wrong. Gilneas pulled out of the Alliance after the Second War because the Alliance wanted to leech off of Gilneas by having them send money and troops to keep the Orcs in internment camps. Greymane was like screw that crap and left because he saw the Alliance needed Gilneas more than Gilneas needed them at the time. (This is a decision Genn accepts and acknowledges was a crappy one.)
So Gilneas built the wall to keep everyone out of Gilneas. THEN the plague and Scourge showed up and the wall basically saved them from becoming more of Arthasâ undead minions. And while it may have been cruel to turn away the Lordaeron survivors you have top realize this was during the zombie outbreak and you didnât know who was infected and all that. Thatâs why they wouldnât let survivors into Gilneas, it was cruel but the right decision for the Gilneans.
Gilneas was also behind Greymane Wall for like 11 years, not 30. Either way nothing about what Gilneas did makes them deserve being attacked unprovoked, and having their citizens slaughtered, enslaved, and their city destroyed with Blight.

Itâs a matter of perspective, really. To the Gilneans Iâm sure it was perfectly reasonable but to the Lordaeronians it seemed perfectly villainous. I also noted the isolationist policies stretch back 30 years, 28 technically, not the wall itself.
Also the Forsaken did not invade Gilneas of their own free will. They were ordered to by Hellscream. This is why Blight was used so casually there when itâs use was measured in Hillsbrad. The Forsaken had no desire to even be there much less die trying to occupy it.

Saving Night Elf souls would be a positive thing for them though and thatâs not allowed in the current writing team.
They already comfirmed it you salty thing
I know weâll be saving them from the Maw but what does that really change? Theyâre still dead. I havenât read all the expansion stuff, is there something after that?
Huh? I canât remember them explicitly saying that we will free all of the innocents from the maw. Also even if they let us do it, I bet they wonât portray it ingame at all.
Atleast it wouldnât pour more salt into the wound by knowing that these innocents only had to suffer for ~2 years and not forever because of the horde.
I guess they would go to Ardenweald if they actually let us save them.
The lore in anything other than the game is subject to sudden and immediate change the moment it interferes with literally anything Blizz wants to do.
Kul Tiras used to be a harbor, now itâs an island. Undeath could be spread by just killing a living human as an undead, then the ValâKyr needed to be involved. Garona had half of her parentage rewritten despite decidedly not having any Draenei features. So yeah I take anything not in game as more of a suggestion. Why should I worry about it more than their writers?
Ignoring the bad that occurs is just as unconstructive as ignoring the good that occurs. At least ĂlĂ«sĂ„na has been being positive from time to time now.
Speaking of inconsistency, Chronicle specified after that Sylvanas was eager to try to conquer Gilneas, so now it seems less that she was forced and more that Garrosh just put into the forefront her opening to do it.

Well they had to hastily rewrite everything she ever did. The Wrathgate was also totally her idea it just happened at the same exact time as a coup which- she probably also had a hand in even if the Legion seemed very disappointed in Varimathras.
Not to mention they retconned what happened in Edge of Night. Which is infuriating because she died again when a level 30 dungeon boss one shot her (still puzzling over that one) and we werenât privy to what she was doing in the afterlife then. Itâd have made perfect sense to slide in that retcon right there.
If they said tomorrow she intentionally got stabbed by Frostmourne because sheâs just that evil and clever as to be 900 steps ahead I wouldnât bat an eye.

That would explain the power slide at least.

I took that as the time honored SinâDorei tradition of being really dramatic for no reason. Hence the random spinning with their jumps. Serves no tactical purpose I can see but it sure looks cool.

I was so glad when they fixed the big preventing Void Elves from doing the Blood Elf spin jump.

Thatâs good. Couldnât have it appear as if they were enjoying themselves. Gotta keep it sad boys club 24/7 for the power of the void to allow for the emo haircuts.
I thought that was the name of the Horde rebels?

Theyâll go to the right afterlife, thats better than being in super hell
ITs literally one of the reasons we go in the maw in the game the salt is really blinding you from the stuff they said at blizzcon
Iâll believe it when I see it so far everytime they did something with the night elves they spat on them I donât expect that to change in the next expansion
