What rocks did Cenarius mate with?

All of them. Thatâs how Dyads came to be. He mated with Therazane, thatâs how Princess whatsherface was made. Maraudon was his mess.
No, Zaetar mated with Theradras which resulted in the Centaur. Dryads come from acorns and Cenarius has adopted them as his children. You have your lore mixed up. Besides, thereâs nothing problematic about mating with rocks.

He is a son of Cenarius so same thing.
Does that count as a alliance humiliation than? Since Cenarious is friends with the Night elves? This a fun rabbit hole to go down by the way

Iâd say during the âYrelâs Holy Terrorâ expansion⌠but thereâs Light worshippers among the Horde too.

The unfortunate thing about that, is Yrel might not even count as Alliance in the future, depending on how things play out.
As a Horde Player, defeating or killing Yrel brings little to the table. Being able to kill Genn, or Jaina, or Turalyon, or Alleria would be awesome, and feel like justice. But Yrel hasnât done anything to the Horde or to me, yet. We recruited people who fled from Yrel⌠but what she was doing was out of the context of Factions and more about what ever is driving her.
There is a good chance that even if she is a villain, she might see the Alliance with their Void Elves as needing some hammer time.
What ever you want to say about the Light or Yrel, I am not certain she will be reintroduced as friendly to the Alliance. Sure, it is likely she will be welcomed, and slowly cause a rift within the Alliance, and lead to the Allianceâs Civil War. But it is just as likely that she is immediately a villain to all sides as soon as she pops up again.

Oh nvm it was Malorne that was mating with everything⌠my bad⌠Cenarius was just a by product of him mating with EluneâŚ
But stillâŚ
Night Elves worship a stag that mated with the moon.

Still stands though. Dude had a bad habit. If it had a hole, Malorne was mating with it
Itâs like a genderbent Zeus and the Cow myth. Only it was Elune and a stag.
Druids exist because Elune is into freaky stuff.

And this is why so few Alliance players saw Dazarâalor as any kind of meaningful victory for the Alliance. Rastakan hadnât done anything to us at that point. Sylvanas, Gallywix, Nathanos, etc⌠those wouldâve been meaningful blows.
Anyways, I feel your point about Yrel is spot on.
I also think that a lot of players either think, or are hopeful, that Yrel joins the Alliance and corrupts it from within via zealotry. Most Horde players Iâve spoken to are sick and tired of being the villains and would like, just once, to feel justified in a faction conflict when fighting back against the Alliance. By the same token Iâve met a lot of Alliance players who wouldnât care about being the instigators of a new faction conflict if it meant inflicting actual pain and loss on the Horde for a change of pace.
For these players, Yrel represents that hope.
The thing is I donât see Yrel ending up as a raid boss. I would imagine such an expansion to end with her becoming the leader of the Lightforged Draenei after being freed from AU Xeâraâs influence, and replacing Turalyon who does end up as a raid boss just because heâs had death flags on him since BC.

But can we have âAlliance as aggressorsâ without Yrel?
For the Horde to have justification fighting back, wonât that mean the Horde will have to take yet more losses? (sweeping the AU Draeneiâs experiences with the Iron Horde under the rug⌠because the writers seem dead set on doing that)
Why would Turalyon become a raid boss/fanatical when heâs been moving further away from fanaticism? (eg; his contention with Xeâra over Alleria, his âLet the Light guide us, not command usâ exchange with Faol, Genn and Anduin, having Faol and Velen by his side to be voices of reason)
How is Xeâra supposed to be a threat when one elf high on fel juice can one-hit kill her? (even Kilâjaeden and that no-name Pit Lord from the âHarbingers: Illidanâ cinematic were tougher)
So Horde fans want Yrelâs Holy Terror as reason to fight the Alliance? Alliance players want to use that to hurt the Horde? This âLight Crusadeâ expansion sounds like itâs built on hate and the Conflict Ball trope.
Heâs had death flags on him since BC. I fully expect AU Xeâra to show up and Lightbind him, reducing him to a mindless puppet. Of his own free will, Turalyon would sooner fight against the tyranny of the Light than support it.
Illidan taking out Xeâra happened under some very specific circumstances. For one thing, sheâd been deactivated for who knows how long, since her heart had been sent to Azeroth to carry a message. For another, who knows how vulnerable she is while in the middle of forcefully Light-forging someone/something? This is also passing over the fact that Illidan is highly unique in terms of his power and the path he walked to get there.
Just making discourse based on observations Iâve had interacting with others on the forums and in-game for a while now.

At some point the HordeâŚer The Forsaken, are going to kill Genn Greymane, heâs already prepping Tess to take his place as the Queen of Gileans.
Itâs not a matter of âif,â but âwhenâ at this point.

While I donât think the executionâs going to work out as well as some think and I still dislike/oppose the idea, your observations/theories have some merit.
I think this âLight Crusadeâ idea (possibility of author agendas aside) sounds like a catharsis factor.
Thatâs all well and good, but psychology experiments suggest that catharsis - releasing strong emotions onto a âsafeâ or âacceptableâ target to is not as cut-and-dried as popularly supposed. While cathartic actions do make people feel better at the time â hence their popular appeal â they donât really make them less tense or angry and they donât actually let people âvent offâ emotion, especially when they stop doing them and go back to whatever it was beforehand. Using such actions regularly or frequently will more often than not make people even more prone to stress and anger fits, since it becomes a habit that gets readily associated with tense situations. In other words, if you punch a pillow to deal with stress, it wonât make you less stressed, but will make you more likely to hit something at an inopportune time when stressed.
So using âLight Crusadeâ as catharsis would be unlikely to help in the long run when it comes to placating fans, and more likely to make people care less for the characters and plot and make the lore even more inconsistent (why get invested in group X or group Y when they can get the villain bat further down the road to âkeep the âwarâ in 'Warcraftâ?)
I mean, long as I as a worgen player get to retaliate afterwards, thatâs fine.

We can Duel. Iâm okay with that.
Nah I like trolling Genn I hope he sticks around for a while. The Stormhiem scenario where we blow up his boat and he runs around like like an angry dog. Love it.
