there is that whole warcraft 3 period as well where their capital was destroyed by the legion/scourge, and they lost their world tree and immortality to boot…
seems to be a reoccurring theme sadly.
Every time they incur these losses, they give up something. First it was the arcane magic their race was gifted with. Then it was their immortality and finally it was their lives and souls. they don’t have much left to give…
Oh wait their strongest defender and leader is giving up his life for green dragons…
