The guardian of lordaeron magically transformed from a raven into a mage and the king of lordaeron was too stupid to realize it was the guardian.

I dunno if it’s silly, but you cannot convince me that the Kul Tiran that are playable are not part Drust. Humans do not grow to be 8 feet tall and a wall of muscle. Those are half-giants.

Dude, transmogrification spells are a dime a dozen. And again, even the leader of Dalaran didnt know he was Medivh. Why would a non-magic user like Terenas know it was him? And if Terenas has know he would have asked his guards to lock him up or worse.
Considering the Bronze Dragonflight, it doesn’t matter.
Terenas could’ve agreed to an exodus at the whims of the Guardian and set sail with Thrall, but then a bunch of Gold-scaled dragons would have shown up and obliterated everything like Marvel’s TVA.
Terenas’ only purpose was to prepare his son Arthas to eventually betray him and destroy his kingdom, and for his daughter Calia to tie a portion of the remnants of that kingdom to the Orcish Horde he had spared after the Second War.

The guardian of lordaeron magically transformed from a raven into a mage while wielding atiesh, which bears raven iconography that Karazhan bears.

Apperently the staff Medivh was using during Warcraft 3 was a forgery and not the real one:
Following the assassination of Medivh, the staff was found by the Kirin Tor and brought to Dalaran. This was followed by a series of tragic events, leading to the death of every Kirin Tor mage that came into contact with Atiesh. The staff was put behind impenetrable barriers of magic and mage Angela Dosantos was appointed to watch over it.[2]
That makes Medivh even more suspect in his raving when he carries around a forgery of a powerful artifact.
The king of lordaeron was too stupid to recognize the guardian of lordaeron, or that atiesh was a forgery because he didn’t recognize the staff it was a forgery of to begin with.
Terenas is hella stupid.

Nah, it was Medivh being too stupid to say he was the reincarnated Medivh. Heck, Terenas even says “who are you?” and Medivh just doesnt answer.
Why would he? Medivh was never a guardian of Lordaeron. If anything the guardians was suppose to be the super secret weapon of Dalaran against Demons. In fact, no one was suppose to know much about the guardians because it would have turned the non-mages into even bigger anti magic user then they already were.
The only one with hella stupid ideas here is you. And Medivh, I guess you have that in common with him.

- Warcraft III level designer David Fried acknowledged Medivh’s warning to Terenas was extremely vague and that he should’ve mentioned the Burning Legion and orcs as well.

I always liked to imagine that the Horde has an annual festival, sort of like a “You’re now part of the Horde! Here’s everything Horde! Try them all!”
(I was inspired by that cutscene of the Horde leaders eating dinner together in BFA.)
I also like to imagine that there’s a ridiculous game that the Orcs and Trolls invented — in which the smaller races (Undead, Blood Elves, Goblins, and Vulpera) are the literal balls. Some individuals love it (that is, being the ball), while others hate it.
I also like to imagine that the whole “Blood Elves have no males” thing is a long-running joke in the Horde — that when the Blood Elves first joined, the Trolls (and Orcs) pretended that every single Blood Elf was female. The Blood Elves hated this… until they saw an opportunity to prank new incoming races (Goblins, Pandaren, etc). And so, it becomes a traditional form of hazing — how long could they fool their new Horde members before they finally wise up to the fact that, yes, there are male Blood Elves?
TL;DR — I like cute, silly, and family-style headcanons. I have zero regrets.

My most self serving head canon : That there is some sort of analogy regarding Vulpera:
Vulpera are to Mogwai as Goblins are to Gremlins
Like, Goblins came about because of Vulpera being mistreated. Sort of like Tolkien included a possibility that Orcs were originally Elves who were mistreated.
As far as Goblins and Vulpera, it would depend on which race predated the other - but there was a fox wild god in the War of the Ancients, so that could give the Vulpera some history.

Did Medivh screw up by not mentioning the legion?
Yes.
Was Terenas a class five dumby who couldn’t put one and one together?
Yes.

Some orcs weren’t in the joke and got really confused why there weren’t more half-sin’dorei half-orcs walking about in Orgrimmar after a few decades.

How do you even expect him to figure it out? As far as most of Northern EK was concerned Medivh was dead and he literally asked this random dude who he was and Medivh refused to answer.
Medivh was an idiot and so is this hairbrained idea of yours.
I also figure elf eyebrows have to work like whiskers or antenna. Some sort of sensory vibrissa. Or maybe they waggle them around to attract mates. Something.

Mages decompose very rapidly 15 minutes after dying.
This is because all conjured food and water, any conjured substance, will dissipate into raw mana after 15 minutes of no longer being in use. That means any conjured food and drink in their system is still being used, even while asleep. The nutrients, etc… it’s all there, still in their bodies, until expelled in some manner.
So, once they die, these nutrients and liquids are no longer in use. Fifteen minutes later, doesn’t matter what it’s become by being absorbed and purposed in the body, it all vanishes.
This is also why most mages ended up being used as Liches or Skeletal mages in the Scourge: only those who ate actual food had enough flesh on their bones to be a zombie.

Dracthyr are dragons.
Yeah cause resurrection has never happened and would never be achievable by the guardian of tirisfal.
The king of tirisfal didn’t recognize it’s guardian, not the raven, not the image of atiesh, because he was stupid beyond all belief.
When he transformed from a raven into the guardian right infront of his very eyes.
In universe A lot of crafters and artisans (blacksmiths, leatherworkers, so on and so forth), will make a big buck out of creating replicas of very famous or unique weapons.

That would certainly cut down on waste management. If I was a city manager I would be strongly encouraging the use of conjured foods and drinks. All of that disappearing 15 mins after being flushed would make it so much easier to manage.
I thought that was a given. Neltherion made them from something. His other experiments were modified dragons, so Dracthyr kind of have to be as well.
