Yet, we have Dark Iron Dwarves. While I know not all followed Deathwing, etc. There is that history and still we have them on The Alliance. And I’m sure some of the DI are reformed Twilight Hammer cultists, etc.
I do not think all of the Faithless Sethrak are evil. Just misguided and misunderstood. Their tyrant Emperor is dead. And if they do not rejoin The Devoted, maybe a leader not so Garrosh 2.0 will step in.
Hey I’m fine with Horde Sethrak. I just want the darn snakes.
I’d imagine the Horde is interested in rooting out any remaining Faithless. It’s not wholly impossible (though very unlikely) for a group of Faithless to seek out the Alliance to flee.
I also want to point out that I’m well aware just making them horde makes a whole lot more sense and is easier.
I don’t mind them Horde I just think if blizz wanted they could make em Alliance. I also overall think they’d fit the Alliance well and give us a loa connection.
Purple Blood Elves say “Hi”.
Honestly, it is enough that sethraks are a playable race in the horde.
Can we forget the alliance? Blizzard tends to forget anyway.
And in fact, I even fear for another mockery made for the alliance.
Sethrak going to the horde means we should expect another shower of cold water in the alliance’s sense of self-love.
But then, it’s not as if they could leave the image of the alliance as a ridiculous and uninteresting group, whose only thing they can hope for and be a “light” version of the horde, even worse.
Because a snake can’t have limbs or it isn’t a snake. So you just have a weird lizard man with a goofy neck. Easy pass.
They’re missing some key features that would make them lizards.
Let me introduce you to the word: humanoid.
Sounds more like the colonialist alliance.
My theory is they had their population decimated. We basically genocide them on that pterodactyl quest.
I think the remnants of the Sethrak are broken and possibly dispersed. Even the ones that were friendly got hurt bad in the fighting. Doubt they would be joining anyone anytime soon.
They would have to get the Mogu treatment and pop up in the future in a new area…now I want an underground nerubian/sethrak empire expansion.
But humanoid makes them all the less snake like, oh whatever I’m team saurok.
DID are also being lead by the daughter of the king of Ironforge. We don’t have any such leader of the Faithless that the Alliance would trust.
While the Purple Elves say “Hi” (and they were never really Blood Elves, having left at the end of the Second War), I don’t recall them trying to release an Old God…
What’s your source on them leaving then?
This is not true, the void elves left sometime after the end of burning crusade, the reason they even were exiled is that they studied the research left behind by Dar’Khan. The greatest traitor in all of Thalassian history that destroyed the barrier protecting Quel’thalas and let the scourge in.
Also that their research into void magic could endanger the Sunwell, which only got reignited at the end of of TBC.
Yes, they are blood elves! Painting a blood elf purple does not change his past or his convenient policy change on the alliance.
They only left Silvermoon after their search for the void threatened Sunwell, who went on to have the holy attribute after a Naaru sacrificed himself to clean up his corruption.
Umbric’s crack squad only left Silvermoon after that.
Before their search for void powers threatened sunwell, they were pretty much living with the rest of the horde, unlike the High Elves (who didn’t change their names) and who wanted nothing to do with the Horde.
And honestly, a creature that becomes the extension of the void, is an unholy presence and if we can tolerate something like that, then I don’t see what other excuse there would be against anything else.
If we have dark irons who were enslaved by Ragnaros (which are now rehabilitated) and committed various atrocities in his name and if we are going to have a bunch of purple blood elves pretending that they now care about the alliance, then we can have a group of sethraks in the horde.
Not least because not everyone wanted to play with void powers, like the purple blood elves, stupidly believing that they could get away with it.
As someone said, source?
I was led to believe they had left Khadgar behind before the Dark Portal was opened the second time to what is now Outland.
Admittedly, I didn’t play Burning Crusade when it was current, only rushed through with a Death Knight the first time I went to Outland, because I was eager to hit Northrend.
The entire void elf recruitment scenario.
Also Umbric explains it pretty well if you speak with him in BFA.
What is your role in this campaign, magister?
"As a magister, my duty has always been to Silvermoon and its people. When the mad Arthas devastated our lands, I knew we must harness every power available to ensure our survival.
Prince Kael'thas proposed one way. I sought out another."
So you sought the power of shadow?
"My followers and I felt no loyalty to the Horde. When Grand Magister Rommath forbade our Void research, we did not hesitate to break away and follow our own path.
So they didn’t even start to to research the shadow and Dar’khan’s teachings until after the third war, and as they were exiled for risking the Sunwell that was destroyed during the third war, it had to have been sometime after TBC.
For real? That’s awesome! I’m glad they didn’t just completely forget about Sethrak after BfA. I really hope they do more with them in the future.
My source is logical reasoning.
Umbric would only be expelled if his void research threatened Sunwell’s holy energy. Before that, he and his group of irresponsible blood elves had no need to be removed from Silvermoon.
If they had left before, with the High Elves who did not want to follow Kaelthas, they would not have been expelled from Silvermoon.
They had to leave, after sunwell changed their attribute from arcane to holy, which made blood elves who used this power source acquire their eyes no longer green (fel) but golden (holy).
Before that, they were very comfortable on the side of orcs and trolls.
After insisting on continuing to play with powers that they do not control, they went in search of what they wanted and not even the alliance they sought, because they had the same opinion as others about the alliance and about humans.
Sethrak are neutral with both Alliance and Horde, if you’re talking about the few left in that temple. If you’re talking about the Faithless, who are vast majority of Sethrak, they hate Vulpera and the Horde with all their guts, so that’s a no go.
Because Ogres are ahead them in line.
After both factions slaughtered millions of them, surely there would be no qualms with joining a faction?
