The Post-Fourth War World

Where the hell would they have founded it?

Alliance players are fond of ripping into the Horde for trying to expand into Alliance territory; but the only regions in all of Azeroth that weren’t Alliance territories … were the places so barren and destitute that the Alliance didn’t want them. Pretty much boils down to, the Horde races should have just gone extinct … because they have nowhere to go.

Mulgore is pretty nice. The Tauren didn’t even want to settle down until Thrall convinced them to.

Now that they have a steady supply of Dinomancers, the Horde taking Un’goro feels fitting and would solve plenty of their issues, no?

Also I particularly don’t mind the Horde moving into Dustwallow. Just leave the arcane mess of Theramore isle alone.

don’t think there is enough room for both Tauren and orcs and their does need to be consideration for gameplay

You’re not wrong. Thousand Needles; Tanaris; and Ungoro would allow for a little less dependence on external intracontinental sources of lumber. If we could get some Shaman and Druids working on making the Barrens/Durotar more sustainable towards supporting life … that would also help. On top of this, Northrend has a lot of things the Horde needs. Space to grow; Resources of many types; and now with the Helm of Domination gone … the Forsaken’s best chance at continuing their race in a way that is not antagonistic to the Alliance.

The Horde already has the Broken Isles all for themselves, and you want Northrend too?

Not really. Alliance has Val’sharah and likely Azsuna, too.

Aszuna’s entire population is ghosts, and I don’t remember the Night Elves of Val’sharrah being aligned with the Alliance. They’ve been apart from their Kalimdor kin for 10k years, no?

The richest parts of Northrend were already Troll Territory. Zul’drak and much of Grizzly Hills fell under their domain. However, what really makes Northrend important is the Scourge. With the Helm of Domination gone, it has left an opportunity for the Forsaken to get back to their roots and start freeing those Scourge who’s minds can still be freed. Those they can’t save, are cattle for parts … something the Forsaken are portrayed as needing to sustain themselves.

To say the now Lich-King less Northrend is important to the Forsaken in their current state would be a massive understatement. Unless Blizz intends to do something absolutely horrific with Calia Menethil of course.

And the Drakkari are extinct. Unless you mean Troll Tribes are interchangeable?

Alliance gets Theramore (rebuilt). Horde gets Stonemaul Village (rebuilt). Devs that suggest another faction war get to walk the plank.

No, but I seem to recall a lot of Troll tribes that have sort of pushed to the brink of extinction by this point. It has not escaped my notice that the Trolls have continually been pushed into smaller and smaller territories; retaining only what is convenient to let them have. A giant, empty Kingdom in the North, with plenty of resources in the largely empty regions surrounding it … there could be worse places to resettle if they were forced to.

Ghosts that might associate themselves with the Darnassian Night Elves now. In the Stormwind portal room the Nar’thalas Mages have the Darnassian Faction tag (and no, not just for pvp reasons, as not all the portal NPCs in the room have faction tags like that).

They’re lead by Malfurion and Tyrande.

can theramore even be rebuilt I though it was unfixable lore wise

Yeah, until we get more confirmation I’ll chalk the ghosts as neutral

I mean, Malfurion also leads (lead?) the Cenarion Circle.

They might follow Tyrande as High Priestess of Elune, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they follow the Kalimdor kaldorei in politics

As long as the ghosts have the Darnassus faction tag I will assume the opposite of you then.

And now it seems the Night Elves are basing themselves on Mount Hyjal, because Cenarion Circle land is Night Elf land, even if they do happily have Horde Cenarion Circle members there as well.

Sweet. Move out Tauren, the Nelves are coming for desolace

And we’re bringing our forest with us!

(Really though, I want to see more biome diversity with druids. I wanted Karnum to be more about growing grasslands.)

So Alliance gains, like, 15 zones and 3 cities on the Horde? No thanks chief.

One of my (admittedly far-fetched) hopes for BfA was this being a point of no return for factions. No more neutral groups were everyone holds hamds, each faction is getting its own class-blased sub-factions with their own unique themes

In my defense the only info I had at the time was an illegally misleading trailer, and Legion wasn’t that bad
