No Forsaken Representation Is Better Than Having Calia

Depple has a assumption that the Forsaken are unkind to the name Menethil because of Arthas. THIS is the actual initiating hypothesis.

I simply pointed out that the solitary thing bearing the Menethil name on the primary path into the Forsaken’s capital city beneath Lordaeron does not show any sign of deliberate tear. Then I pondered about the implications about that.

Then you came in and equated the tasks of maintaining or leaving a altar alone, and compared it to the herculean task of restoring half of Quel’thalas (stuck in Burning Crusade chronologically, the Plaguelands updated in Cataclysm would be a stronger case), and straw manned my position as saying that the Sin’dorei don’t care about their homeland more than Forsaken care about a single shrine.

I have zero doubt now that you have never seen it or paid it any attention. Because it is not a statue.

No, I am inferring lore-based ideas from subtle cues. But more importantly, I’m pointing out the dearth of evidence for your claim that the Menethil name is despised by default by indicating that the thing with Terenas’ name on it and dedicated to his name is curiously intact in the middle of the capital of the people that hate his guts.

I mean, if Blizzard wanted to indicate distaste towards the Menethil name, the simplest thing would’ve been a passing mention in a pertinent book or short story, or just a simple texture change to Terenas’ shrine. But in the expansion where they revamped the entire world, including small details aplenty, Terenas’ memorial remains unmarred by Forsaken hands.

By the way guys, the easiest way you can counter my line of thought here is finding a simple lore passage that contradicts me (and supports your original premise). Rather than inferring in the opposite direction that I’m wrong with even less evidence than I got, even if my evidence is minute.
