Today I reclaimed Lordaeron

I almost wish I could call in a favor from Chromie and PM this link to my past self seven years ago, with no comment except "Spoiler Warning..."

Wait, you're the dwarf on the forums?

Which makes the fact that when you return to the new phased Tirisfal, it's still Horde occupied, with Brill abandoned by the Alliance and all the other Forsaken areas going about business as normal, very weird. This is really odd choice given that one, Blizzard made sure the blight doesn't cover Brill, 2, the mission table lore has the Alliance in control of Tirisfal, and 3, Anduin even says that most of the Alliance army returned to Brill to fortify it before the final confrontation with Sylvanas.

I'm going to guess that lorewise, the Alliance does hold Brill. I also fully expect to get patch content in Lordaeron, with world bosses, WQs and questlines, with Tirisfal properly reflecting the situation.

Didn't the city get blighted to hell?

That can be cleaned up. Not much worse than all the other areas in Lordaeron that were plagued and need a scrubbing.

The last time this much of the Blight got cleaned up, the Red Dragonflight burned it away and created the new Lich King. So there’s precedence.

I’ve always felt that Lordaeron was a Land of the Dead. Up until Allied Races and Before the Storm I assumed that meant Forsaken and Horde. Times change.

Bolvar’s probably immune to the stuff. I wonder if he could do something about it.

Jaina can clean it up, Azerite can neutralize it. Hell in its gaseous form like in Capital City it can literally just be blown away.

Then why get excited for something you’ll never see in game?

I am seeing it in-game. The Horde lost Lordaeron. They're gone. Anduin Arthas-walked into the throne room. The icon on the world map is greyed out. They're evacuating all the remaining Forsaken to Kalimdor. They're fighting a losing war on three fronts.

Like I said, cities can be rebuilt and blight can be cleaned out. Even if through some bullshit plot thing at the end of the expansion the Horde get Undercity back, it's already been demonstrated that they are there at the Alliance's pleasure.

Blizzard is never going to devote resources into fixing/cleaning Lordaeron.

Blizzard is never going to take a capital away from the Horde, so we'd better get used to the Forsaken controlling Lordaeron at least until WoW 2

Removing a city, and converting it for the other faction are two different things that require resources that are usually spent on future content.

Fuck yes, my man.

I'm happy for you.

Feeling great, Fojar?

By the way, it's kinda poetic that both cities, one over the trees, high up in the sky, and another one, under the ruins of a fallen kingdom, beneath the ground, got destroyed.

I hope the deaders get a new creepy city on top of the remains of the charred tree. Something like this, maybe?

Horde should just build a sewer in Orgrimmar, both providing the Forsaken with a new city and the Orcs with some desperately needed sanitation infrastructure

Never thought I’d say this... but Grats Fojar.

The Alliance's three rules on faction conflict:
1) You can't win.
2) You can't break even.
3) You can't leave the game.
