As I said, we can’t assume complete ignorance of the population, nor we can assume how much their leaders would tell them.
But if Tyrande and the NE leadership tried to re-integrate the Darkfallen into kaldorei society, I think it’s a safe bet they would explain Elune, Ardenweald and the cosmic forces of life and death being entwined and part of a cycle of rebirth.
IDK, I think that assuming the NE wouldn’t be open to welcome their brethren, specially with some PR from Tyrande, is a weird take that doesn’t track with we have seen of them.
I really do love that they added that in.
Feels so much more immersive that way
And it was such a small and unnecessary addition that they really didn’t have to.
But my point is how the leadership can influence the opinions of the people. And I think in the case of the fallen Kaldorei a far more sympathetic spin could happen.
Again, we can’t really pretend to know how the overall populace, specially kaldorei, would react. My point is that we can’t discount Tyrande’s influence in her people, or pretend alliance races are high wired to hate undead even now. It just doesn’t ring true to me.
Indeed. So the context with the fallen kaldorei is not the same, so I don’t think it’s safe to assume the alliance would see them exactly the same way.
But they influence them, specially when your leader is also a religious head of state. We can’t pretend Tyrande’s opinion doesn’t heavily influence NE politics and culture. She was the one that readmitted the arcane users, and we saw heavy pushback, but it happened nonetheless.
Maybe, personally I can se an scenario where they would be treated with compassion.
Liadrin asked a similar thing to Thalyssra later on, but Blizzard just kinda glossed over it. Because much like what Tyrande asked - it’s a legitimate question.
Agreed, tyrande had been always on the judgemental and unforgiving side of things. It’s malfurion that always reeled her in on that, and he was not in sl.
Perhaps, but we could look at that as she not knowing who he was and the fact that she was in foreign lands as possibilities as why she did that. She also mentioned during that she wanted to return the favor to the alliance for aiding them in need.
Still doesn’t make a great deal of sense to me though that people would just immediately be accepting.
Especially since the Darkfallen turned against their own on the heels of their people getting massacred.
Tyrande could easily go too far beyond what her people will take.
I’m sure blizzard will just ignore it, but I cannot see her people just easily accept Renewal instead of Vengeance for instance. Certainly players don’t seem to feel that way.
The Darkfallen Kal’dorei turned on their own in their darkest moment. That wouldn’t be forgotten by most.
I can see blizz force that on us. I don’t see it as likely for the Kal’dorei realistically.
