So in thinking about the allied race unlock questline, although I haven’t fully thought of it completely, there are a few things that should be in it:
-
Lor’themar should be the one to start the questline. Liadrin did recruit the Nightborne, but in this scenario, Dreven and his San’layn posse would go back to Silvermoon at some point, wanting to learn more of what has happened with Silvermoon. They would hit it off very well.
-
The questline should involve the Alliance making a push across the Ghostlands and Eversong Forest and by ship. They want to remove the Horde off the Eastern Kingdoms. This can lead into the warfront rumored to be there, but this also shows how loyal the San’layn would be to earn their trust with the Horde members and how valuable they would be as allies.
-
Part of the questline involves Sylvanas planning to blight Silvermoon if it becomes overrun with Alliance. This makes the battle even more tense, shows that the San’layn and everyone involve keep fighting to prevent it, and adds more to Sylvanas becoming Looney Tunes. The San’layn even more than ever, once they join the Horde, have a good reason to help a coup if one happens.
-
Every Horde race should be represented in some way, including new ones. Nightborne especially need to be there. If Vulpera have joined, have them led by Nisha in the attack as they help scavage items, with even a quest to collect items for them. If Gilgoblins have joined, have them assist at beaches to attack Alliance ships or in water areas in Ghostlands as an ambush. This also goes for the Alliance. If Mechagnomes have joined, have them as mooks you fight and tie in that they don’t have blood.
-
At the end of it, all the leaders support the San’layn, which is a reason Sylvanas induct them into the Horde, even if she might start to be dubious about it with Dreven’s attitude. After that, he can act the way I had him the last few times just to act as her foil.
I still think before this, there needs to be a meeting of sorts to find where all the San’layn currently are in Northrend, but I honestly will admit I’m not currently qualified to work out the details.
Also, I want to say that I hope that I am not stepping on your toes, Fallynn, as I realize that a lot of work has been done by you, and I know you mentioned thinking about making a video with your own ideas for questlines, and as such I don’t want to upstage you if you had ideas of your own.
In the future, I may try to flesh out the allied race unlock questline whenever I can. This Greek Art and Archaeology term paper is, sadly, not going to type itself up. x_x
