And some of you just like to insult others for no reason.

No, trust me, my insults serve a purpose.

I mean, itā€™s Bolvar. We all knew it was going to happen as soon as the Death Knights started coming back into the spotlight, just like if Illidan returns again heā€™ll have more ties to the Alliance because of his relationships to Tyrande and Malfurion as well as Maiev following him around (and maybe caring about the Night Elves killed in Teldrassil, though not the tree itself).

The only issue Iā€™ll have is if they make the entire Ebon Blade lean Alliance after they jacked Nazgrim and the Horde Death Knights from us.

Well, I wouldnā€™t have anything positive to think of it, at least. I mean, the guy pulled Dalaran out of the Alliance in the first place, then didnā€™t even bring it back in defense of, or after Teldrassil. If he did come back, itā€™d be way too little, way too late for me to care.

Itā€™s why I donā€™t care about Magni or Bolvar or any of these other supposed Alliance-leaning neutrals, either (at least Ysera says she would have defended Teldrassil if she had still been alive).

Heā€™sā€¦heā€™s going to die or become the Jailerā€¦isnā€™t he?

Yes, as a self-serving ego boost for yourself, just like any Troll.

Yeah itā€™s what these ā€œ_ neutral character is actually _ factionā€ thread turn into.

Weā€™ve already seen the Silverhand go Alliance. I donā€™t take issue with it, but theyā€™ve set a precedent.

Bolvar should not be stating heā€™s sworn to the Alliance when Darian was Highlord of the Ebon Blade and Bolvar instantly replaced him.

To be fair. He only replaced Darian as Highlord because Darian is one of the Four Horsemen. Darian is still a high ranking Ebon Blade member.

Again, itā€™s not that serious or a commitment to anything. Heā€™s just interjecting a personal reason for this instead of a weird ā€œI donā€™t care about anduin despite basically being his father figure at one pointā€. it just makes sense this way.

Darion still bears the rank of Highlord in Legion. Head over to Acherus.

Stating ā€œI was sworn to the prince. No, the King.ā€ would convey the same idea without setting up the precedent for an Alliance-Controlled Ebon Blade.

He does? I thought he gave up the position when the Deathlord took over? Iā€™ll have to go check it out again.

Deathlord outranks the Highlord, but he keeps the rank the entire time.

The Silver Hand ā€œGOā€ Alliance? The Silver Hand hand is LITERALLY an Alliance Organization, Started BY Alliance to fight against the Horde.

They went Semi-Neutral with the Argent Dawn to fight against the Lich King but you canā€™t get more Alliance then that.

Guess I miss remembered him keeping the title. And I did just check in game, slip of the mind on my part :smiley:

And then went Alliance.
And now thereā€™s a precedent that my favorite subfaction is going to go Alliance, and I donā€™t want that to happen.

Honestly itā€™s something I was figured was on the table ever since Blizzard decided to keep Bolvar alive in the first place. It was either that or raid boss him in the future. I donā€™t think heā€™d serve any other story purpose than one of those.

I liked him as Lich King. He was a great anti villain.
