I mean, Zul’jin’s only dead in the first place because Thrall’s Horde allied with his mortal enemies and killed him. Vol’jin, our proposed mediator, even added the guy who took Zul’jin’s eye to the raid group when we scoured ZA the second time. I can’t imagine the Amani, let alone Zul’jin’s ghost, giving the Horde the time of day without some serious equivocation on the part of its diplomats.
Well I apologize.
Zul’jin could have had his revenge if he didn’t stay in Quel’thalas when the Horde went for Lordaeron. But he ignored Doomhammer and kept fighting while being outnumbered.
Anyone who thinks the Amani aren’t going to get a redemption in Midnight is delusional. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re playable hordeside by the end of the expansion. Which is about the only reason i could see for them not to add green to the darkspear skin color options back when they added shatterspear light purple and sand troll tan to the options.

We just redeemd Nerubians and Kobolds in TWW and Eredar in Dragonflight. Nothing is off the table anymore.

Well, living Nerubians didn’t really need redeeming. The one time we met them before, they were friendly. Kobolds also never seemed all that evil, just a pest.
Eredar were pure fanservice though. Not that I personally mind.
Amani however, are definitely going to be redeemed. Anyone who doesn’t believe me can feel free to save this post and come back to it after you’re proven wrong.

Other old god Spawn like the Mantids and Aqir or Qiraji were evil because they still served the tentacle monsters.
I always missed a greater reflection on how they were the natives of an area forcibly colonized by the elves. I doubt that will be in the game tho.

Other way around, the trolls tried to colonize the elves because they few them as the mutated offsprings of themselves that needed to be put under.
Hence why the high elves/highbourn/ united with the humans to get rid of the tuskers.
Stop the racism. Elves are not native to Quel’thalas
The ones that were born there and lived there their whole lives in Quel’thalas sure are native to the area. It’s the only area they’ve known.

If someone is born in America and lived their whole lives here….than yes Doness.
We’re not our ancestors. Some people don’t seem to understand that. So I just laugh at them instead

Bingo, that’s like saying a black German isn’t a native German because of their skin color, regardless of they were born there and their whole culture is dutch based.

No one’s blaming people for the actions of their ancestors. You just don’t get to call yourself native, at least by that definition.
Immigrants and their children are obviously not native either. I’m the child of immigrants. I never call myself native.
Edit: Wow, that’s a lot of typos.

But I do get to call America my home. Not that I would call myself native. That’s obviously silly. Besides, even the natives weren’t native if we’re being technical about it. Their ancestors immigrated over the ice land bridge from places like Asia and africa
But mainly, my point is that the elves born in Quel’thalas have every right to defend their homeland and be proud of where they’re from.
Edit: Everyone alive today can trace their ancestry to somewhere else if they dig far back enough in the family tree.

What exactly do the Amani need redmption from? The fact that they hate the Horde especially the Elves? They aren’t withered, Scourged, or any of the other fallen states.

The only thing the Amani need is better writing. Something that makes them actually sympathetic and moving them beyond being tribe that wants to murder everyone else, because they can’t or outright refuse to get along with anyone

I’m not my ancestors, but INEGABLY, being white in my country gives me material and symbolic advantages that black and indigenous populations don’t have access to. But instead of pretending that not being my ancestors means that racism isn’t my problem, I take on the discomfort of this ancestry and try to see what I can do to help reduce it. Thinking that this isn’t a problem is like allowing things to continue as they are.
Yep.
