Weekend Warcraft Lore General

garathose is the leader of the alliance forces in wc3, he pretty much has the same rank as lothar. Obviously he is a man of power and influence and his death would have ramifications.

Clearly he knows who the naga are, he calls them by their preferred racial name "naga"

So is Kael'Thas but Garathos has no issue sentencing him to death for doing what he literally has the right to do. He's the sovereign of a nation, he's allowed to make diplomatic deals with people.

Then he'd also know that they've never actually fought the alliance. Ever. WoW hasn't even included any of it's 'Back in time' stories including the Alliance fighting the naga.

he isn't. Quel'thalas does not exist at that point, just a bunch of refugees

Apparently he does, because he does it and the kirin thor + dwarves let it happen. Kael'Thas was %100 justified for his actions but from the PoV of the alliance they only know what garathos tells them and that the naga are clearly an enemy faction.

You don't know that, they could be known "raiders" or something. They show up all over the coast line in many wow areas and are pretty hostile

>garathose is the leader of the alliance forces in wc3, he pretty much has the same rank as lothar. Obviously he is a man of power and influence and his death would have ramifications.

Considering we've seen the aftermath? Not really? The guy's only legacy is 'Managing to lose the alliance the elves' due to his racism. He's also hypocritical enough to want to execute his allies for making an alliance with a race they had no conflict with to fight the undead but personally wiling to team up with the undead and somehow expect them to keep their deal.

> Prince Kael'thas: "Hail, Lord Garithos. The observatories have been repaired as you requested. We were just about to--"
> Grand Marshal Garithos: "I received ill news from the front line. Is it true that you've consorted with the vile naga?"
>Prince Kael'thas: "Well, yes, milord. They helped us cross the lake. I assure you they pose no threat to us or to--"
>Grand Marshal Garithos: "They are inhuman and must be crushed like any other enemy! Be careful where you place your loyalties, blood elf. I will not tolerate treason in my ranks. Now I must return to the front. You will remain here and wait for further orders."
looks like you didn't play the game

Neither does Lorderan at that point so that would go just as much to Garithos as Kael'thas if that is the argument.

>You don't know that, they could be known "raiders" or something. They show up all over the coast line in many wow areas and are pretty hostile

WoW also occurs after WCIII and that's a pretty big jump when they'd shown literally zero hostile intent in the campaign until after the blood elves were lined up for execution. This is also after the humans had teamed up with 'Stone Giants, Chimeras, Tauren and Orcs' to avoid death and Orcs have a pretty concrete history of trying to kill humans, unlike the Naga.
