Kerriganus still lives as a concept, I suppose.
I always knew that someday, “Dark Lady watch over you” would be in reference to not a queen, but a goddess!
Gaze upon her and despair, ye living. For her apotheosis came even before Anshe’ was fully introduced into the story, much to the anguish of the Tauren fans.

I do feel like they are setting up her coming back from the Maw and I do feel like she will save Alleria.

We already know about the Twilight’s Blade. They can be summoning up stuff in all corners, stirring up trouble for the pre-patch before we seem to trounce them in Zul’Aman. And probably beyond, I mean the Primalists kept showing up for patch after patch after patch.

Void attacks the whole world ~~allegedly(because it isnt)
but only the alliance forces can spare people to help
How coincidental isnt.
Same way against the legion the horde didnt get to help, besides orcs having the same or more gudge than other races
Same way the horde was complete absent from the dragon isles, despite they dealing with dragons, shamans and elementals, you know, quite the horde expertise

Yeah at this point we know it’s just because this is how the writers think. They write everything from Alliance perspective. That’s why Alleria tells me in K’aresh that I’m the only one she can trust.

To be fair, telemancy on a continental scale would be kind of extreme.
But we kinda already jumped that shark by implying off screen the Draenei have space pirates and other space ships LMAO so.
He’s already responsible for moving the entire Horde military when its fleet was destroyed.
Jaina, likewise, moved an army large enough to invade and conquer the Undercity.
lol

even before the draenei had functioning fleets of ships, the gnomes had a space laser the shark was kinda jumped long ago.

I was certain that she’d become the new arbiter. I think they only changed their minds on that when Alliance players screamed out a cacophony all at once.

It’s gotten to the point that this nonsense is just exacerbating. You make an expansion literally located in Silvermoon City/Quel’Thalas, the Isle of Quel’danas - without a SINGLE Horde NPC that isn’t Sin’dorei. How. Just, how, how, how? And to make matters worse, I’m getting bossed around by light-fanatic Turalyon, while also patching up his son’s “absent father”-induced BPD.
Jesus Christ, I never thought I’d be missing Alleria this hard, compared to her husband and son.
Blizzard, you GOTTA hire writers for the Horde side. You can’t keep this whole, “Oh, it’s IN Horde lands, but told through the lens of Alliance” BS anymore. The, “told through the Alliance lens,” is constant, it’s every expansion, and it’s beyond exhausting.
It’s causing widespread apathy amongst Horde players because if they’re not playing a Blood Elf right now - they’re basically just fanfiction since the narrative itself doesn’t even bother to show any other Horde members showing up to defend one of their cornerstone cities.

They would if nuBlizzard decrees it.
Trolls and Tauren and Orcs are just to yucky and gross for these writers.

I actually lost Arator on the beta. I started his quests but they bugged out and so I dropped the quests to pick them up again, and I don’t think I can get back to him nor Faol because they are in a special instance of the Scarlet Monastery and apparently I cannot enter that instance again. 
At least for BfA, we had an explanation for the Alliance being surprised. Of course Blizzard would take pains to flesh out Alliance story.
We had a whole build up to a ruse - the Alliance sent spies, Sylvanas fed them false information, Sylvanas kept most of the Horde in the dark - even the soldiers initially thought they were heading to Silithus. The Alliance was preparing a force, while Tyrande volunteered her armies - which meant the bulk of the Alliance remained on the Eastern Kingdom while Tyrande’s military headed to Silithus - leaving Teldrassil open to the surprise attack.
Sure, the Alliance leaders look gullible and stupid, but at least we have reasons for what happened.
I am hoping we get something similar to explain the absence of the greater Horde forces for the initial moments of Midnight - like maybe the Horde were baited somewhere else, far away, but Lor’themar kept most of his forces at home. Like he wanted to during WotLK until Sylvanas bullied him.
At least some explanation, instead of “we wanted to give the Alliance screen time”

Even in BFA, the night elf forces made it back. They were in Lor’danel before the horde forces got there.

Not to dismiss the issue overall, but there are Tauren Sunwalkers and Zandalari Prelates at the Sunwell, summoned in by the Light with everyone else in the opening scenario. The focus on Light-wielding characters definitely results in the Vanguard leaning more Alliance, though.
The Ren’dorei are staying away from Silvermoon City for the most part because neither Rommath nor the Vanguard want them around. The Silver Covenant has not been anywhere near Silvermoon City from what I’ve seen on the alpha/beta so far, and haven’t even been involved in the quests we’ve had access to. Thalyssra is in Silvermoon, and both Oculeth and Valtrois are in the database, so I’m hoping they’re involved in the max-level campaign, which has not been available for playthrough yet.

She’s there hanging out with Ex-Scarlet Crusaders at the Sunwell because she would rather redeem the super racists than do anything for her own people.

She’s such trash.

The Scarlets are as much her people as the Forsaken. Like her initial goal was bridge the gap between the living and undead Lordaeron citizens, which fun fact, the Scarlets also happen to mostly be living Lordaeron citizens.
As I recall Midnight finally mentions this again.

The Scarlets have always wanted to kill the Forsaken purely for being undead. That plotline would be better served with Lordaeronians who haven’t done this, such as those in the Argent Crusade.
