Warcraft: The Rise of the Mag'har

Reader mode
Can't wait till Dranoshs' kid is born since I can see him being a great badass dad.

We can also continue the badass bloodline which will only become more badass since Kaz is the mother.

eh? how do you figure? recessive traits usually show up two generations down from the homozygous dominant parent.

It's not a recessive trait. It's literally a result of the orcs being exposed to fel energy. As for it taking several generations that's probably how long it's going to take for ever orc to be related to the green skinned orcs. There are enough brown skinned orcs that it won't happen with in a generation or two but not enough for them to keep a stable population of brown skinned orcs going for ever. They are just out numbered by the green and we aren't even restricting who they can have kids with. So as couples hook up its not going to be brown orc with brown orc but green orc and brown orc. And if one parent alone is green that mean the kid is going to be green.

Green. All orcs will be green eventually.

Eh, that remains to be seen, there's no known examples of a mag'har/Horde child in canon, and Blizzard's comment of "Fel Touched trumps everything else, so any child of a a Horde/Mag'Har will always be green" sounds kind of bullshit to me.

And for all the Horde's talk about redemption and stuff, they haven't stopped being exposed to Fel Energy, either through use of tightly controlled Warlocks, combat against the Burning Legion, and the subsequent chain of catastrophes all over the place. They haven't really tried to flush it out of their system like the Mag'har have in this timeline, so I can see it becoming that powerful--as a physical mark of their shame from the past. The Mag'har are actually dealing with their shame, rather then burying it like the Horde did--which lead to the problems that ended with the Siege of Orgrimmar--if you turn your back from your crimes and refuse to atone, then you just open things up for the next generation to repeat the same crimes.

And that is absolutely the canonical Horde's primary issue--they refuse to take responsibility for their crimes and make amends--they make a few token gestures towards reconciliation, but they have too much pride to request forgiveness--and that leads to problems, because they did some seriously bad shit, and it just educates that own young that it's okay to do horrible shit as long as you win, or at least die trying. Thrall's problem is that he thinks more like a human then he does an Orc, and he's a sucker for "Redemption", and thus, he spread the story that Grom freed the Horde, and kind of glosses over the fact he was the one who put them in that position to begin with.

Thrall had a kid if I remember right. It was green. Also Torroar said the same thing. Of course he might have changed his mind.

Of course there's also this apparently.

The Dragonmaw, Azerothian Blackrock and the Black Tooth Grin clans however show that in just a few generations the damned skin color washes out in favor of some other color.

The Horde still keep faffing around with Warlocks and other Fel Energy.
These Clans isolated themselves and gained grey skin-colour.

So in the end it's up to torroar. His latest response however has me hopeful.

I dunno about that.

So maybe kaz will have a brown skinned kid.

And of course, there's always the chance someone might be able to figure out a way to purify fel energy from the orcs with a crapload of time down the Light and Shamanism paths.
