So you’re making the claim they weren’t controlled by the Lich King?
points at Forsaken, Void Elves, and Death Knights
When he was pushed into a corner and they were all being slaughtered, he didn’t do it for funsies.
And? Death Knights aren’t just a mechanic that doesn’t exist in Lore. They’re there and and they to constantly inflict suffering to keep from losing their sanity.
It didnt actually.
… how can you claim that that there’s more than what we’ve seen but then say the opposite in regards to the San’layn when no Blizzard official has stated as such?
This is assuming they’re innately evil.
They’re not kicking out the Forsaken and Death Knights are they?
One San’layn did that. One. Do we need to point out all the other evil orcs and trolls and tauren and goblins?
You seem to be operating under the assumption that San’layn are Chaotic stupid Evil beasts, when they’re not.
That is not what a state sponsored religion is and also from what ive seen Goblins view it as more business with contracts than anything spiritual.
It is not. It is a family of outcasts.
That was a chunk of the horde’s forming but it is not the entirety of it.
Vampire elves don’t “fit thematically” the faction made up of monster races that are traditionally seen as evil?
And again with the San’layn are unthinking murderous beasts assumptions.
They have done no such thing.
They would need to state they have an inherently evil nature before they could “retcon” it.
The Orignal Horde, Thrall’s Horde, Garrosh’s Horde, Vol’jin’s Horde, or Sylvanas’ Horde?
Also points at Forsaken and Death Knights and Warlocks
No, thats an example of him doing something evil in desperation, it is not a race wide damnation. No more than Garrosh was for the Orcs or Zul was for the Zandalari or Magatha for the Tauren.
And yet without the Lich King’s control you claim without evidence that San’layn would also not do the same.
That doesnt make them not exist.
Death Knights need to inflict suffering to keep their sanity and plenty of Warlock spells revolve around draining life and using souls.
You mean like how the Forsaken lived in Undercity away from the rest of the Horde till it was destroyed?
The Forsaken would disagree on that. And Death Knights are not “more for gameplay”, they exist very thoroughly in lore, same as the other classes.
You said most, i gave my dissent.
