I agree, never trust a troll. Unless it's a Darkspear. I would highly recommend rolling a Horde toon and learning some of the lore from their side. You'll see that the Darkspear are unlike the rest of the trolls, and work on a strict honor code.<br /><br />The reason you earned that Zandalari rep? That was Vol'Jin, working with both factions for the better of Azeroth. The reason you're disrupting Garrosh's forces now? Vol'Jin, for the better of Azeroth.<br /><br />Next, your comment on Varian being a "wimp" for chiding Jana about her reaction to the Blood Elves of the Kirin Tor, and trying to bring them in? He wasn't being a wimp, he was actually working to strengthen the Alliance against the Horde with more allies. Deal with problem people, not the race as a whole. Varian is finally being the leader everyone asks for on the Alliance side, and yet everyone is pissed that he is finally acting the part. That's just silly.<br /><br />To catch up on lore for both sides, I'd recommend the Know Your Lore article on the WoW Insider blog. Pick and choose the articles as you want, but it will definitely help you understand the story a little more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233897446046688337.post-15125489216210116282013-08-16T13:45:09.823+01:002013-08-16T13:45:09.823+01:00Indeed Cygnia, war is hell.

In fact, the Alliance General (General Hawthorne) allowed the civilians in Camp Taurajo to flee. You can meet many of them in Camp Una'fe, if you don't believe me (seek out Tawane for her side of the story). <br /><br />When conscripted convicts start looting, General Hawthorne also ordered the looters to be arrested. <br /><br />How many tauren died in Taurajo? According to Winnoa Pineforest, there were four deaths: Omusa the flight master, Yonada the tailoring supplier, Dranh the leatherworking trainer and Krulmoo the skinning trainer.<br />Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233897446046688337.post-65936491473420198412013-08-15T22:43:11.901+01:002013-08-15T22:43:11.901+01:00Maybe beforehand, but then in Cata the Alliance sl...Maybe beforehand, but then in Cata the Alliance slaughtered everyone in Taurajo...K.

Now Thrall is no longer around, and Cairne is gone, what keeps the Tauren allied to the Forsaken?

Garrosh did indeed know that Vol'Jin was a traitor, but he didn't act upon it until Vol'Jin gave him proof. It's only after it's obvious that Vol'Jin isn't going to give the orcs the secret of the Mogu magic that Rak'Gor tries to kill him.<br /><br />As for racism, Trolls aren't a race of Orc. They're a different species. They aren't even from the same planet.<br /><br />Anonymous, I, too, am keen to see how they get out of this one! Perhaps, like the Battle for the Undercity, it will be more in the nature of a raid (in the normal sense of the word) than a siege: a commando strike to take out Garrosh and the top orc leadership.<br />Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233897446046688337.post-31407043540955031112013-08-13T16:36:24.288+01:002013-08-13T16:36:24.288+01:00My question is: when the alliance has invaded Orgr...My question is: when the alliance has invaded Orgrimmar and defeated Garrosh...are they going to just leave?

If it were up to me I'd be busy retaking conquered territory - maybe up near Forsaken land, that Gilneas place or, oh, Stromgarde? - and letting the Horde go at each other tooth and nail.<br /><br />But we can't have that, the Alliance is here to provide a canvas for the Horde, none of this active role stuff for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
