BFA made sense?
Inb4 they make all the Covenant races neutral and able to choose their faction, like pandaren. Because that would make the most sense.
The quintessential druid archetype is literally Night Elf.

Either way if yaungol or Malfurion were the first druids. Lore is fluid in retconning stuff. Malfurion must be really old, we don’t have definite numbers so blizzard would have to clarify timelines. I don’t care for it much since there is a possibility that the emerald dream may be vast and include other solar systems and possible druids. Chronicle is written with the understanding and bias of the titans who are ordered in the arcane. They may yet know sufficient sources of living as they found the emerald dream to be a mystery and there are lore hints the titans never made it. And from we see in shadowlands there is lore t hat predates titans. Prophet Velen suggested that there were other races the Naara had controlled and were wiped out. So the way I see it lore is open to have druids before Malfurion if they choose to do it someday.
If we can call titans classes I would call Eonar the first druid. Since she embodies the essence of life and is a titan. And I would think the first druids would come from Eonar’s planet. Some titan constructs are shown to have life powers I would call them druids.
The titans don’t fit into classes, per se. They’re more like celestial guardians.
In short, Lore, as it currently stands, confirms that Malfurion, as annoying as he is, is considered the first Actual Druid.
Others may have practiced arts that were similar, but what would be considered Actual Druidic Magics had Malfurion as the first practitioner.
Future lore may retcon things, like you said, and show that Eonar’s homeworld had a race that predates all of Azeroth. And thus the entire system of druidism started there.
But for now, Malfurion is still the first official Druid.

by your -10 IQ logic, trolls are responsible for all problems in the world since night elves evolved from that trainwreck of inferior DNA

Because I would say it was bad, like why did they get a SECOND one?
If we get Night Fae and Venthyryryyryryyesyyryy, it is pretty obvious that they’ll got he “safe” route of giving them to the factions you’d expect.
Kul’tirans are actually a unique model.
The first Paladin wasn’t a human but the strongest is a human (Turalyon) because human potential
Azeroth is older than Draenor.
Pretty sure troll shamans existed before orcs even came to be
Source.
The headdress of the first shaman is an archaeology artifact for the orcs and draenor clans. Trolls don’t have this.
The only evidence we have so far of the earliest shamans is an orc archaeology artifact. Nothing for trolls I believe. Trolls existed before orcs did yes, but there’s nothing that says anything about when they adopted shamansim.
What magic do you think the trolls used to create the troll empires? To defeat the bug people of Azeroth?
Their magic was only defeated by the night elf empire arcane magic.
Loa.

Trolls literally call elementals Loas.
Do they? I don’t remember any instance of that. But again, this;
Shamanism has existed since the sapient races first discovered the power of the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. On Draenor, now shattered Outland, the orcs were shamanistic; on Azeroth, trolls and taurenwere shamanistic. Though shamanism on Azeroth flourished and still continues to, shamanism on Draenor was all but extinct by the time of the great crossing of the Hordeinto Azeroth via the Dark Portal.
This is from Chronicle.
I’d like to also add that on Draenor, the ogres ruled with arcane magic until the orcs got the elements on their side.
During all that time the troll empires were flourishing with shaman magic and loa appraisal.
This doesn’t specify when though.
No, the were red back in Warcraft 3. They had a little bit of blue and purple but the main theme was red back then…
I feel the elves should have got a seperate faction.
