Typo on my part, because spellcheck pointed out that un-unifying isn’t a word, but that’s what I meant:
“In what way is that un-unifying?”
Which doesn’t affect unity, as we see with Shandris still being unified with the rest of the Alliance upcoming in Nazjatar. As I said, not mutually exclusive.
Over all the Alliance is unified on that the fight has to be continued, and taken to Sylvanas to end the war, not the Zandalari:
- Malfurion Stormrage: Tell her: We are coming.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore: Press the attack as the Zandalari mourn their fallen king? That would make us no better than the Banshee.
Master Mathias Shaw says: She’s the real problem here. I imagine she is already finding ways to turn this to her advantage.
Anduin Wrynn says: We must continue the fight. But as we push towards victory, we must never lose sight of who we are and what we stand for.
You’re free to present your own analysis if you want.
Though, of course, that will only be your reading.
I argue that it isn’t irrelevant, since, as also stated up above, the Night Warrior ritual enhances the Worgen as well.
Because it would be Elune saying that Malfurion and Teldrassil is more important than the Gilneans or Gilneas, which by Sylvanas’ logic should upset Genn enough to make him want to leave the Alliance.
I’ve come to find conversation with you rather poor, yes, and actually admitted that to Imerus in that conversation as well:
I generally do not agree to disagree, because that’s just the death of a conversation right there. But if what you’re reading different from what I’m reading then we’re not even having the same conversation in the first place.
Same applies to Sylvanas, as was my point:
That Sylvanas found some success in her tactics and strategy, her failure comes in not even understanding the people she was trying to break in the first place. Not Genn, not the Night Elves. Now, to say that Sylvanas being wrong about one thing makes her wrong about everything is no more true than saying Sylvanas being right about one thing makes her right about everything. But it does show she has a fundamental misunderstanding of the people she went against.
The quest before that, The Warchief Awaits, covers that this conversation with the player was something that Sylvanas could not have in public and had to be said in secret because of all the SI:7 spies, and no where else does she say this. Not to Saurfang, and not to the Horde soldiers. Which was Spuddyc’ point with this thread.
Which is part of Saurfang thinking emotionally rather than logically, as the grieve would that would split the Alliance was the Gilneans leaving the Alliance if it prioritized Teldrassil over Gilneas. Saurfang was caught up in Sylvanas’ throwing the baby out with the bathwater when he just started emotionally focusing on the “grievous wound” and jumbled it in his mind into the literality of the burning tree before him rather than metaphor it was supposed to be. Saurfang never actually says the grievous wound of killing Malfurion or burning Teldrassil would split the Alliance. Opposite, he says it will unite them, as they all will be coming for the Horde now. And Sylvanas admits it as well:
- “They will come for us now. All of them!” he said.
“I know.” She was calm, as though nothing were wrong.
Because Genn was never going to leave the Alliance in the first place, not because Malfurion survived.
