You’re gonna be really mad when the Dreadlords make a comeback as an altruistic resistance against Order magic in TLT.
Sargeras is freed without repercussion or redemption to stop the Void Lords because it looks really cool. With the Voidlords and their misunderstood incursion gone, the Light sneaks in trying to conquer Azeroth to exploit the Void’s power vacuum. Then the Titans show up to order all cosmic forces and stop the squabbling by recruiting Azeroth. She accepts until the Titans impose their will on her. It is then revealed that the Dreadlords had an exact contingency plan for this scenario orchestrated by the Jailor and Denathrius all along. She beats the Titans and the Titans learn to share. Azeroth rejects all cosmic forces and decides she will be the master of her own fate.
TBF! If the visions that Alleria were having are actually true - they are from the void afterall - then something along those lines is exactly what is going to happens. In the absense of, or just in terms of no balance between the comsic forces, the other will take over completely and kill the universe.
I really hate when bad writers try to do the: “There needs to balance” narrative.
Fanfics already ruined Star Wars with their: “Their needs to be balance between dark and light”.

It originates from the concept of Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light).
Incidentally Yin is Rest while Yang is Destruction!
Of course too much Yang in one person leads to too much Yin in others.
The Light imbalanced would constantly throw everything else into Darkness before erasing that Darkness in favor of absolute Light!
The notion of One True Path actually agrees with such a notion as a Light that believes in One True Path will eventually declare all other Lights as false and destroy them.
A violently militant Darkness in Yin and Yang Philosophy is Yang painted over with a very thin layer of Yin.
An overly passive Light is Yin painted over with a very thin layer of Yang.

From my understanding, Ying and Yang do not represent good/evil, right? Like Male/Female, Light/Dark/, Summer/Winter don’t have to be tied to any moral state. Even creation and destruction can be both good and bad. I can see parallels between the concepts, but they can exist independently of what is good or evil.
I think that is where writers get confused where they assume balance must also mean a balance between evil and good.

The Light only represents inherent good for players who desperately want it to be christianity in more than superficial trappings.

Oh wow sounds like someone didn’t play wrath of the lich king.
We literally already allied with Nerubians in wrath to help them clean their fallen kingdom of scourged Nerubians and take it back.
And people like kobolds and Nerubians. The answer is simple when you’re not being a cringe hater for the sake of it

Average interaction between Kobolds and people from the Eastern Kingdoms:
Because it makes sense and makes the world feel more fleshed out.
Xal’atath barely even counts as a Void Elf. She’s an eldritch entity of unknown origin stuffed into the corpse of a Void Elf.
The ACTUAL Void Elves were never portrayed as a straight-up “villain group”, as they were a playable race for the Alliance upon their introduction in BfA.
you’re like… 14 years late to the party on this one.
We literally do quests for living Nerubians outside of Azjol-Nerub in Wrath of the Lich King to help them reclaim their home from the Anub’arak and the rest of the Scourge.
Maybe it’s just a matter of personal taste, but how on earth is “some of [Group/Race] can actually be not evil” more bland than "[Group/Race] is always evil so we must kill them"?
Last I checked, I’m pretty sure things like nuance and culture help to… y’know, expand and flesh-out a story’s worldbuilding in interesting ways?

Well no, she was placed into a body of a blood elf but the void energy within her turned the blood elf purple.

Ah, my bad. Been a minute and thought that the Elf corpse used was already a Void Elf.
Careful, in a world built on different prospective, its scary to think there might be.
(Sorry my PC didn’t want to add that in the same sentence)
And thusly, mass extermination is wholly justified.
Like any enemy we fight if these guys stopped attacking us and leave us alone we wouldnt be attacking them.
This has applied to any enemies since well Vanilla.
It’s funny, I don’t remember many instances of Kobolds attacking Alliance or Horde settlements. In fact, I don’t remember very many instances of them away from their caves. I think there’s… now, in the Ringing Deeps, where they’re being strong armed into attacking the Machine Speakers by their “king”, and then… I think every now and then a Venture Co mob can be a Kobold. Seems exceptionally rare that Kobolds aren’t on the defensive in their caves.
Sorry, OUR caves. Those caves belong to us and we’re fully justified in scouring any undesirables from it.
What I am about to tell you could cost me my life. The Defias gang is up to something big. Last I heard they were working in conjunction with various gnolls, kobolds and even goblins.
Take this note to Stoutmantle. It explains as much as I know on the subject.
Yet no kobolds ever actually attack during westfall questing
Not I can recall anyway. It was mostly gnoll attacks and the defias.

And kobolds are almost universally still confined to their caves or just outside it as far as I know. If anything this just goes to prove that kobolds are open to working with humans. Seems like Stormwind just resorted to killing them when they decided they wanted those mines.

They are not “caves” they are mines made by various races that the kobolds decide to squat on.
They are being killed because they are working with a group of murderers and thugs who’s entire goal was to bring down the Stormwind government.
