So… Thinking back to the start of this thread, One thing I would be very disappointed in Blizzard if they did not do with Silvermoon is put in a memorial for Anasterian at least the same scale as Lion’s Rest. He is seen as one of the greatest heroes in Quel’dorei history, and gave his life in the face of certain defeat just like Varian did.
They could even use the Canticle of Sacrifice again as it was written in Thalassian for some strange reason and its lyrics fit Anasterian very well as well—Though, likely redone to feel properly elvish.
I suppose they could at least argue with so much damage to the kingdom, at the time they couldn’t spare resources to erect such a site at the time & needed to focus on repairs — Even suggest that such actions is what Anastarian would had wanted for Quel’Thalas
It’s a shame that there was such little Forsaken & Blood Elf closure @ the fall of Arthas, save except the vial to Sylvanas (which is still pretty minimal) given the extent of damage he did to the both of their people — was particularly hoping at the time, we’d see the soul of Anasterian; but we only saw human potential involvement at the end sadly.
That being said, it’d be good to see a large statue & site honouring Anasterian with the repairs of Quel’Thalas when it’s updated in ‘Midnight’
Such would be a good addition I hadn’t put in the thread, which would be ideal and worthy for the lore & significance towards Silvermoon
I remember when Midnight was first revealed I was hoping that Dalaran would’ve been the Alliance’s capital for the expansion. Park it off the coast somewhere. Leave Silvermoon for the Horde.
Unfortunately, Blizzard went and blew up Dalaran, so that option is out. What a shame though… Dalaran coming to Quel’Thalas’ aid would’ve made so much sense, and it would’ve meant not so much as a single inch of Thalassian soil being used/taken/settled by the Alliance.
At this point, we may as well hope/pray the Alliance takes Windrunner Spire for their base, because the alternative IS a neutral Silvermoon.
I personally think using a seed of Thas’alah ( Heart of the forest) instead of phoenix tree it should be a word that mean’s Light of the forest to signify holy magic now mixed in with the sunwell. Thas’alah also was imbued with nature magic so it would be a mix of arcane/ nature and holy now. Light of the Forest would make alot of sense and keep’s its old namesake. To me personally
Depending on how they stretch the map as they scale it, they could keep Shalandis Isle right up near the spire, and then combine the spire, its village, and the isle in a sort of Alliance Hub for both Alliance flavor of elves.
Though, part of me feels they might take the easier route if they use Silvermoon as a HQ and just give me a debuff that says I am being watched and have all the NPCS be uncomfortably unfriendly the entire time.
That monument to the night elf genocider added to Windrunner Spire in BfA might make it a bit of an uncomfortable hub for about half of them. Not that a year or so in the sunniest and gaudiest city on Azeroth, founded specifically to spite night elf civilization, promises them a much better time.
To me personally
