Night elf druid, just after the war of the ancients so I don't have to deal with that shit. I guess I'd just hang out and chill in the barrow dens. I wouldn't have much political power but maybe I'd encourage some more peaceful processes rather than RvB, maybe with the night elves being a more neutral, if not alliance-favouring, power
Adrian Robinson
It's fucking thursday!
Connor Mitchell
>If you were in Warcraft, which time and location would you want to be in? (You keep all your current knowledge) Right after one of the major ancient wars when the planet chilled out for a few thousand years. Either right after the sundering or the Troll victory over the bugs.
>What race and class would you want to be? (assume you're around the level of a decently powerful lore character- maybe not as powerful as say Turalyon or Arthas, but something like Danath or maybe Valeera)
Either an Elf magic user for that greedy long life span or some kind of Troll warrior for an epic death at some point.
>What would you do with your knowledge and how would you try to change things?
If Elf, warn them they need to do more to prepare for the next invasion.
If Troll, do more about the well to keep the legion out.
Adam Ross
Why is this so hot?
Asher Miller
It's the implication of the pure elf being interested in savage primal lifestyle and thus most likely being a very promiscuous elf that's willing to sully herself to the savage fantasies you might have.
Isaac Moore
Basically Tar'zul and Janeiel
Josiah King
>Basically Tar'zul and Janeiel
What?
Nolan Wright
Tarzan reference...
Xavier Taylor
That makes much more sense. I was think about someone else. . .
Jason Brown
Human mage. Spend all my time fishing in Vanilla Loch Modan. Would be a mage so I had easy access back to the capitals if I need it. Minimizes time spent not fishing.

Get out of here Margoss
William Sanders
Time for Warcraft alt-history.
I would like to see an Elven Commonwealth.
Jayden Cook
Male Belf on Female Troll or Male Troll on Female Belf?
Cameron Smith
Snu Snu vs MOJOED
Kevin Foster
I'm amenable to any submissions
Isaac Brown
Did the High elves grow smaller and become paler due to the influence of the old gods in Tirisfall?
Owen Thompson
Their change has only ever been attributed to the Sunwell's influence.
Easton Bell
And lack of the Well of Eternity.
Thomas Cruz
"After landing on the Lordaeron continent, they moved inland and formed a settlement in the Tirisfal Glades. After a few years, however, many were driven insane. The belief at the time was that something evil slept beneath the Glades, so the high elves abandoned the region and moved northwards.
Around this time, they had become completely severed from the life-giving energy of the Well of Eternity. This meant that they were vulnerable to the elements and had not received immortality from Nozdormu and the World Tree. Over the generations they had shrunk in height, their skin had become a peach hue similar to most dwarves and humans, and their hair golden."
Change happened before they even founded Quel'Thalas.
Isaac Martinez
Well then,
must be
Christian Green
Pandaren monk on Pandaria before MoP happened. Would try to help prepare people for the incoming shitstorm of Alliance and Horde's dick measuring contest, or at the very least find a way to stop Garrosh when he chimps out on everybody
Noah Nelson
Female troll on female blood elf.
Luke Torres
did dalaran ever respond to the Forsaken attacking the small towns and houses they had that got left behind?
could this convince Dalaran to go full Alliance in bfa?
Wyatt Adams
...
Brandon Scott
This has somehow become a forever discussion. Which mostly ends with the same shit people bitch over.
Why is anyone part of this faction. Who started what. Who is best waifu.
Connor Diaz
I always assumed that stuff was stranded outside the bubble and got wiped out while the city folks tucked their heads in the sand.
Matthew Morales
No, because if Dalaran joined the alliance a certain outspoken element of the fanbase would have a conniption
it's the problem with MMO storytelling, you have to maintain narrative fairness or else people will get upset
Liam Howard
Dalaran had been fully apart of the Alliance during the events of MoP and WoD. They only recently let the Horde back in, and that's because Khadgar reminded Jaina that she's not the soul ruler, but a member of the council.
Dylan Harris
Basically this.
Dalaran was neutral in Wrath because the whole point of that expansion was the two factions setting aside their differences to fight the Lich King. It helps that Jaina and Rhonin were both sympathetic to the Horde.
In Legion, they went back to neutrality at Khadgar's request. Consider he just got finished with a successful multi-faction offensive into Draenor, he had some clout on this.
This discussion can go nowhere good.
Liam Cruz
Since this is linked to the last Warcraft RPG thread. I'll ask here. I'm in a WoW game, and I've been looking for the Fel weapon enchantment, but can't seem to find it. I find Fel Greatswords and whatever in monster statblocks, but nothing that tells me what the Fel enchantment does. Anyone know where to find it?
Chase Bailey
Were the sunreavers not on Dalaran until the massacre in MoP?
Kevin Roberts
As a Horde player Dalaran being neutral up until now makes some sense to me, simply because the Lich King and Legion are generally more important to deal with. If people are that obsessed with a tit for tat mentality they could just flesh out the Sunreavers more so to serve as a counterpart to them.
Dalaran wasn't even in Northrend to fight the Lich King. They went because the blue dragons were threatening to seal their magic away.
Jayden Reed
If I'm rolling a female Dark Iron Dwarf, what should my attitude be towards Moira and her son?
Thomas Gray
Which further explains why they'd be open to cooperating with the Horde.
Besides, intended purpose or not they became a crucial link in fighting Arthas. There's a reason Tirion built the Tirion Fordring Memorial Statue to Tirion Fordring there.
Justin Russell
Still a big bad that both factions have a reason to fight. Plus he was doing a lot more than that, on top of trying to kill the mages (not just seal their spells away).
>Malygos planed to use the Arcanomicon to locate and tap into the ley lines and divert the magical powers that course beneath the earth to his home base in Northrend, the Nexus.[13] The consequences had been violent, dangerous, and deadly. The world's crust had splintered, and the resulting unstable rifts had torn the very fabric of the magical dimension known as the Twisting Nether. Malygos's misguided attempts to “correct” the perceived misuse of arcane magic had to be halted - whatever the cost. Dragon had fought against dragon in the bitter Nexus War, and it had been the Life-Binder herself who had reached the agonizing decision that Malygos — not long recovered from millennia of insanity — had to be destroyed. Alexstrasza had taken her flight and allied with the magi of the Kirin Tor. With all that was at stake, the remaining flights had agreed to join the reds in their bitter task.
Jace Edwards

Elijah Nguyen
I imagine you could either be pro-Thaurissian or... pro-twilight's hammer? If you're a loyalist theoretically you should be loyal to her as she was Thaurissian's loving wife, and is raising his child, but you could probably play it in a grumbling way where you don't want to be around holier-than-thou bronzebeards and savage wildhammers
Carson Williams
Semi related they recently put out a short story where Moira forced all three clans to work together to get over their shit.
Benjamin Turner
Remember when the Dark Irons all joined up with Varian to kill a bunch of trolls in. That quest was fun..
Ryder Morgan
The sunreavers are why Dalaran went back to the alliance. Smuggling weapons of mass destruction through dalaran was a bit of a no no.
William Davis
We know that Elves generally look down on Trolls but do the Trolls still consider them the same species?
Easton Powell
They had to show Varian was being nice and connecting the Alliance together while Garrosh was breaking his Horde apart.
Ayden Sullivan
Remember when they turned Tyrande into a blathering idiot in order to make Varian look like a tactical genius. That scenario was fun, but the character assassination to make LO'GOSH look better was awful.
Nicholas Edwards
>Sends his god weapon ahead of himself in the hands of a squire who promptly dies, dropping it down a hole >Holds a Renaissance Festival solely so he can deplete his own forces >Kill steals the Lich King >Builds a statue to himself in a neutral city
I hate this character so much.
Austin Parker
All hail the heir to Thaurissian, Lord of Shadowforge and Ironforge, Protector of Khaz Modan, Ruler of the peaks and depths of Blackrock Mountain etc etc
Carter White
I just want Magni back. He was the true King of the Alliance before Varian showed back up.
Adam Powell
Trolls consider them dinner.
Liam Taylor
It wasn’t about depleting his own forces, it was about assembling the best of the best to go full The Expandables on the Lich King’s arse because you could never beat the scourge in a war of attrition.
Daniel Evans
>Tyrande being a stubborn elf thinking the Orcs do war with tactics and strategy >Varian having expeinced battling orcs all his life knows how they think >Tyrande sets up this complicated plan that would most likely fail >Varian goes for the dumbest plan and the Orcs fall for it because Orcs don't think about strategy or tactics >Orcs get shredded in a Glorious Alliance ambush
Honestly found that quest awesome really showed the difference between Orcs, Humans and Elves.
Xavier Parker
Then how come after he personally allows a blood feud to happen which inevitably kills people, he cries about the terrible loss of life and how they were all weaker for it?
Charles Williams
So are Orcs in Warcraft even dumber than Warhammer Orks in tactics and strategies?
Joshua Sullivan
Varian really is the Blue Garrosh, in the sense he completely changed his faction's dynamic forever and totally murdered its credibility in the eyes of the other one.
Garrosh turns the Horde from a ragtag band of survivalists into violent warmongers with questionable morals.
Varian's arrival heralds the Alliance's transformation from a principled cooperation between ideologically aligned governments into a Human Empire focused entirely on flavorless heroic power fantasy.
Isaac White
Depends on the Orc Leader. if they are lead by Garrosh or Gromm they lead a path of blazing glory on pure brutishness that leads to victory or death, if they are led by a Non hellsream then they will most likely lose until Goblins can come and make a strategy for them
Evan Kelly
What would an AU Azeroth with zero titan or old god influence look like?
>Old Gods child races never rise >None of the titanforged races around >None of the Wild Gods or their descendants as they came from Titans. Barring perhaps Aessina and Hakkar?
What could be around: >Elementals and Elemental Lords >Trolls >Goblin/Pygmy Ancestor species and it's descendants. Maybe eventually hobgoblins. >Proto-dragons and their natural descendants >Grell >Hozen >Sprites >Elune
Samuel Baker
Possible Elves if Azurite or a Well is somehow made
Elijah Brooks
he was better when he lived a simple life out in the plaguelands
Jaxon King
Did you ever get to see him, or was he too busy hiding under the chapel?
Charles Bailey
dead or a empty husk.
Only reason Dreanor exist is because Titans came and set a balance to stop the whole planet from being consumed by nature
Benjamin Allen
Dreanor didn't have a Titan soul
Kevin Kelly
Titans made the well though. I suppose Azerite could eventually happen if the Races around somehow managed to hurt the world soul.
That sounds awfully like Titan propaganda.
Juan Torres
With that list of leftover races, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll be revealed to be linked together somehow in the future.
Goblin and Grell being related has been hinted at before.
Flamekin and other Elementals -> Grell and Sprites -> Goblins origin race -> Trolls
James Hernandez
>Trolls were around before Goblins
Mason Bennett
No he was an actual NPC. He lived in a shack somewhere in WPL.
David Morgan
Hence had them splitting off from the Goblin Progenitor race, of which we still don't know much about
Alexander Campbell
Maybe Goblin Progenitor race is Trolls?
Bentley Perry
Do we know what "yakee" means in Taur-ahe? Because "Sunwalker" is "Echeyakee" and "Legendary" is "Haolyakee" and I can't think of a connection between the two
Oliver Bennett
Clearly "Yakee" is Tauren for "AWESOME".
Landon Fisher
Could just be two words that sound the same.
Or when spoken they have slightly different accents.
Ethan Carter
Or those translations are just really loose. Languages are weird like that. Tauren may not even have a proper word for "legendary"
Ryder Brooks
What if Broxigar ended up being in the Army of the Light? Serving under Turalyon? Would Alleria change her views about the Horde?
Liam Gomez
Army of the Light is too sophisticated and civilised. There is no place for savage brutes, like Broxigar.
Anthony Wilson
Broxigar is a nobody character who only exists because Knaak wanted to have Saurfang without actually having Saurfang.
Gavin Bell
Saurfang didn't exist. He was created in vanilla as a random no-name NPC. Only fans made him what he is today.
Easton Murphy
Be kind of difficult when you were able to see his ass skewered on Sargeras' sword. Though they pulled out dumber things from their ass, so seeing Broxigar again would be awesome.
Jeremiah Anderson
>He was created in vanilla as a random no-name NPC WITH THE POWER OF CLEAVE
Joshua White
They don't consider them the same species, but they DO put more stock in the (correct) theory they evolved from Trolls, which they mostly use to mock and belittle them for.
Isaac Cruz
While them doing it Vanilla is, from what I understand, still canon, apparently them doing it in Cata was the result of a rookie quest designer not being aware that Dalaran was (at the time) neutral. So they just said "ignore that quest, it isn't canon."
Easton Campbell
Attractive female troll art is hard to find.
Levi Morgan
Particularly if your not a fan of piercings.
Jason Rivera
I wish I could relive the first moment an Alliance raid ran into him.
Oliver Kelly
Filler expansion that will 110% happen at some point:
Azeroth's World Soul, for whatever reason, leaves the planet/her body. It could be stolen away, pushed out by a dark presence, or her fleeing because of said darkness. Either way the planet is dying and we have to go and rescue our world soul that's conveniently located on a nearby, SLIGHTY relevant planet.
New zones, races, and aesthetics that TOTALLY aren't recolored stuff we already have, a few theme park style raids, and a gimmick that dies off after the expac.
Kevin Cruz
FUCK OFF BACK TO /V/
Luke Adams
Probably not as dramatic as you might think. City raids we're always a mess, especially in Vanilla when the game was so much more lethal. Everyone storming Orgrimmar back in the day knew they would probably just wipe well before getting to Thrall.
The first time Saurfang cleaved a raid group, most raiders probably didn't even realize it happened. Simply standing in front of him was enough to get you killed. You probably wouldn't even notice the cleave animation with all the spells going off . It took many times before people started realizing he was so dangerous.
Then one day a priest tried mind-controlling him.
Tyler Stewart
>New zones, races, and aesthetics that TOTALLY aren't recolored stuff we already have, a few theme park style raids, and gimmick that dies off after the expac
Describing what happens in every expansion is cheating.
Parker Ortiz
Nightborne don't dress that different from trolls, you know. They go around barefoot and shirtless.
John Lee
>/V/
Dominic Foster
Blood Elves don't even mind, it's the Night Elves who get mad over it.
Austin Morgan
Except sunreavers had absolutely nothing to do with it. Aethas knew about it, but he was forced to keep silent, or else Garrosh would murder him. The purge of the sunreavers was disgusting scapegoating, people who defend it don't know the lore.
Logan Adams
...
Matthew Garcia
Pretty sure that Tyrande's "brilliant" tactic was line of Elven cavalry with lances and charge at what was expected to be Orc army. Meanwhile Garrosh had Magnataur to counter most armies. And all Varian did was charge from the side in front of Worgen.
That being said, I might have erased that book from my memory in most parts.
Landon Cooper
Titan world-souls ain't the worst thing that can happen.
Ryder Bailey
Provided that the world-soul still exists to drain an disproportionate amount of spirit and promote discord between the elements, the surface of Azeroth would be an eternal battlefield between the Elemental Lords with no room for biological life. Not every planet is guaranteed to develop something as terrifying as the Evergrowth.
Anthony Brown
Tfw the lore of Draenor is much better than that of Azeroth - shorter, more original and fewer plotholes.
Jaxson Hill
That's a night elf with tusks.
Jack Hernandez
>no room for biological life I'm okay with this, fleshlings are subhumans. Trolls and elves are just shit tier degraded air elementals.
Ethan Morris
There's a chance that djinn are elementals taking on mortal forms for the purpose of manipulating mortals.
Hunter Diaz
Night elf women are just dark trolls without tusks and more digits.
