Taurajo if anything was an example of Alliance incompetence rather than Alliance villainy. I applaud Hawthorne’s efforts to give civilians an avenue of escape but many of them still ended up getting killed in one manner or another. Whether it was at the hands of quillboar or some trigger happy Alliance soldiers, dead’s still dead. Some of these foot soldiers went so far as to go AWOL and become grave robbers and corpse looters after it was done. What kind of soldiers were they employing here?
Because there is no such thing as “Horde civilians” anymore, amiright?
Not it doesn’t. It shows a map of expansion by the Night Elf Empire. It never mentions that it was done by way of natural immigration, or organized conquest, nor does it mention the specific targeting of Troll civilian populations, nor does it mention if it happened before or after Azshara’s deal with the Zandalari.
What it does mention is Troll aggression, however.
There was no Alliance in these times when it was just human kingdoms and elven kingdoms vs trolls by themselves. If you explored Azeroth history before the Dark Portal opened, I would not be shocked if it strongly resembled Game of Thrones.
I wonder which of the human kingdoms most strongly resembled House Lannister…
It’s crazy how people completely ignore the fact that the WoT was planned to be about as bloodless of a war as possible, and only ended as it did due to Sylvanas’ going behind the back of Saurfang.
If Saurfang and the vast majority got to do it the way as planned, the Night elves would have been shaken up but relatively unharmed, and their little fait accompli would have resulted in the Alliance actually having to answer for their actions in Stormheim, and setting up for a longer, more durable peace.
But they didn’t… Sylvanas did not act on her own. She gave the order, it went down the chain of command, and not a single Horde Warrior did anything to stop it. They followed their orders to a T, with efficiency and enthusiasm.
