Warcraft: The Rise of the Mag'har

The good news is all these dynasty quests have gotten me back on WoW for the first time in four years, so my shoddy lore should fix itself soon enough.

Well, Honestly. The only one who I'd believe has a 100% of not getting corrupted by the Arcane. It's Jorin because of his unbreakable will perk.

Everyone else can get corrupted by the Arcane if they don't use magic responsibly. Just like how medicine can kill you if you overdose, but is incredibly useful used responsibly. Course, you have to be an idiot to let go of your self control and you will have people who are more susceptible than others. But yea.

True enough, but unlike everyone else on this hellish rock, they've had no prior experience with the Horde.
They're not very good as long time allies though outside a few exceptions though. The other races may have had prior experience with the horde. But, should we get over their initial impressions, we can set up a pretty long term alliance.
 
no time shenanigans

Ethereals like goblins except cross-planetary and less explosions, we'll see what we see

arcane magic not corrupt inherently, but anything that gives anyone an advantage over the mundane could gain slight changes to the personality, this is natural

no time shenanigans, players not dragonflight
 
never knew about the bitch-fight, only that the RPG is non-canon.

What happened?

From what I heard (which is admittedly hear-say), White Wolf decided to diverge from Blizzard on several aspects of canon.
  1. All Undead have free will.
  2. High Elf rangers lynch every Troll they see; this is justified.
  3. Illidan wants to become the new lich king.
  4. The central conflict of WoW is between Arcane (EVIL) and Divine (good) magic.
  5. The Frostwolf Orcs are filthy squatters and the Stormpikes are completely justified in trying to give them the boot.
Blizzard was not amused.
 
That is because they had the Crackwell shoving their veins full of 1000% of their daily dose of magic for several several several centuries.

That sort of thing creates a dependency.

One that manifests horrendously when the source is destroyed/shut down.
 
Did the Orcs ever develop druidism or did shaminism replace that branch of magic?
 
Remind me again but the nether dragons aren't develop yet right? Maybe if we pre-emp them, we could get the netherwing drakes first.
 
Ah HAH, I knew there was a reason I thought Arcane was addicting and corrupting.

There's a beginner quest in WoW where a mage trainer talks about how magic can be bad. Could have sworn there was another one but at least I know I'm not just making it up.

Then again, guy could have just been trying to scare my character but eh.
 
Probably? I know that little quest from early WoW.

In World - it's likely that he really wanted to impart caution into this new young fellow. Magic is dangerous, and has to be treated with respect

You know?
 
All Undead have free will.

Dumb.

High Elf rangers lynch every Troll they see; this is justified.

If it was High Elf rangers lynching Forest Trolls, that might make sense, mainly because the forest trolls would be sacrificing every High Elf they could. Although the 'entirely justified' bit is dumb as hell, especially since neither side is justified in that context.

Illidan wants to become the new lich king.

Super dumb.

The central conflict of WoW is between Arcane (EVIL) and Divine (good) magic

Really, really dumb.

The Frostwolf Orcs are filthy squatters and the Stormpikes are completely justified in trying to give them the boot.

Kind of dumb, kind of accurate. The Frostwolf Orcs have only been around for, what?, 30 something years. It's not really their land to claim 'ancestral ownership' on, considering the Alterac humans have been there longer.

Probably. Been a while.

Edit: Then again, the list was correct about the attracting beings from the Twisting Nether thing. And that magic is powerful.

Wasn't the conflict between dwarves and frostwolves rather than humans and frostwolves? The Dwarves wanted to mine the frostwolves home for some reason. And the Frostwolves were like no, this is our home now.

It's a bit of a mess, all said. Both the Dwarves and Orcs are in kind of dickish positions in regards to what they're arguing (fighting) over.

The Dwarves want to mine the region, and want the Orcs out, because fuck greenskins. The Orcs want to live in their new home without the influence of either humans or dwarves, because fuck pinkskins.

It's a mess altogether really. It's a shame the Cenarion Circle doesn't have more power, because Azeroth desperately needs a god damn middle mediator between the Horde and Alliance.
 
The druids themselves are fucking morons too. They can't even consolidate themselves into a single druidic faction. There is literally no difference between the Cenarion Circle and the Earthen Ring, except some vague faction allegiance.

You'd think the druids and shaman would get together and form a non-factionist collective, since they agree on virtually everything and individuals of both groups are supposed to value the living world more than petty politics.
 
Not going to lie, a mediating force between both the Alliance and the New Horde would be very helpful for the political state of Azeroth, especially for a lot of the minor regional species and governments that are basically forced into either joining the Alliance/New Horde or getting their shit wrecked by both and losing all power.

Not to mention, the creation of an actual forum for the two powers to actual communicate, rather than have a mishmash of negotiations like they usually have would be very beneficial to cooling relations between the two.

The only groups I can see actually trying to do that though are either the Earthen Ring, the Cenarion Circle or the Zandalari Trolls (and they're out now with their capital gone).

So peace talks in current WoW rely on a bunch of hippies (Says the Shaman).
