[x] I am the free, that of the Mag'har. Pure, and purified, of the taint of fel things. (Earth)
Wind seems like the least presumptuous and goes along well with how we finally passed their Questions when then asked us who we were. It seems the Furies prefer simple and root answers. At our root we are Dranosh Saurfang and at our root we are an orc. They don't care about titles and leadership and such.
I don't think the Furies care about benefits very much as they are trying to get to the base of who and what we are.

[X] I am orc. Scion of Nagrand, Land of the Wind. I am no more. I am no less. For that is enough. (Air)
Since this option is actually about ourselves rather than our people. Because this thing isn't about our people as a whole, it is about proving OURSELVES worthy.
And OOC blademasters tended to be rather wind focussed, which makes sense since speed helps a lot with fighting.

My mistake.
Mostly meant I feel the air path doesn't fit Dranoshs' character at all since he lives for others not himself.
I feel that Dranosh is at his heart someone that wants to heal the wounds made by others and unite people.
Can you please explain further on this?

Yeah, but our wife is fel-tainted, our kid might carry some small smidgen of the taint. Taking pride in our purity seems a bit too much like spitting on them for me to be entirely comfortable with it.

Except that Mag'har has nothing to do with your past, and all about what you choose to do to redeem yourselves?
Part of the problem with the "Modern" Horde is that they don't try to redeem themselves so much as they try to ignore that it ever happened.

Still feels like if we go earth that is implied that we will see beings that have been tainted by Fel energy as lesser since they are not pure in the magical sense.
Water means unity no matter what you are and healing of wounds.

Okay, going through these.
[] I am the blood of the Blackrock. Through fire and forges we took our place in the world. (Fire)
Arrogant, prideful, takes stock of the past. Not who Dranosh is. Rejected.
[] I am the free, that of the Mag'har. Pure, and purified, of the taint of fel things. (Earth)
This honestly feels a bit divisive. We have those that were tainted by fel things, even if they didn't drink the blood. They are not evil, but they carry the mark of what was done. It also implies that we are free, when we're very clearly not. We've burdened ourselves with leadership, we've chained our past around our necks and swore never to forget it. Purity and freedom? Not who we are. Not who we've been. Not who we're going to be.
[] I am orc. Scion of Nagrand, Land of the Wind. I am no more. I am no less. For that is enough. (Air)
Humility is good, but there's a sense of... satisfaction, a sense of nothing more needing to be done, that makes this choice feel not right. Maybe if we'd achieved all our goals and were looking to retire, maybe if we were old and at the end of our lives, but we have so much more ahead of us.
[X] I am unifier, the brother who seeks forgiveness and to heal the pains caused by my kind. (Water)
Of all the options, this one screams loudest of all as being one and the same with Dranosh's characterisation for this quest. He has unified the clans so tightly under the Mag'har banner that there's barely any trace of the old clan rivalries and prides. He has sought forgiveness from enemies that would could and should sooner have stabbed us in the face for what others of our kind did to them, and continues to do so. We are, even now, healing the land from the damage it was done, to right the wrongs, and to be a brother to all who would hold their hand out to us in friendship.

So much this.

I feel that everyone who is against the earth option because of the whole pure part of it has completely and utterly forgotten about the purified part of it. You know like Kaz and all the other former green orcs that know longer use fel energies and follow the way of the horde?

No I remember that but they still have the mark of Fel corruption due to their green skin that will always be there even if they don't use it anymore and the same with the Broken they don't use Fel magic but they are still forever corrupted by it so in a sense they are not pure physically even if they are mentally.
Even if I'm wrong on that front still feel that Water fits better overall.
You do realize that everything you just said contradicts you saying you aren't ignoring the purified part of the earth option? Your so focused on how others aren't apparently pure any more that you are completely ignoring what 'the purified' means. Kaz and the other green skinned orcs and the broken Draenai don't have any fel energy in them anymore.
@torroar Can you elaborate what the words 'the purified' are refering to in the earth option?

I definitely feel like the best options are either water or earth.
Wind seems to have a sort of detachment that I don't think that our character really has himself while Fire feels like it's the exact opposite direction we should be going in.
I have not decided which of the two I prefer personally though.

I will go with this our goals have from the start been to mend things both Draenor our people and the damage we did to the other races so this seems to fit us best.
[] I am the free, that of the Mag'har. Pure, and purified, of the taint of fel things. (Earth)
This would be the second best, but that one isn't really what we are about, it might have been before we allied with Kaz to a degree, but I wouldn't say it is now, sure there are value in purity, but there are just as much in purification and healing.
And while the Orc who never strayed from the path of Righteousness are to be admired, the Orc who fell or was pushed of the path, but made the effort to get back to it should also be accepted, and if they have done a good enough job of it even admired, even if they can never throw off the mark of their fall.
The Earth option give me the feeling that it would encourage helping the corrupted victims of fel less, and I want to do such thing as try to heal and purify the not yet aged up children the fel Orcs might have when we crush them.

That is what that option is about. Man talk about people not seeing the forest for the trees.

Pure is a refernce to those that never followed the horde or used fel energy. Purified are those that did whether willingly or unwillingly and no longer do so. Those who have had a permanent change to them as a result.

I'm sorry if I'm not understanding or saying things correctly.
Also pretty sure green skinned Orcs and Broken still have very trace amounts of Fel magic in them that is a remnant of their altered appearance because of it though I may be wrong.
