All human kingdom's are ..... or were, to be exact.
The Loa are not just "some voices" in Vol'Jin's head. Vol'Jin has communed with the Loa for years, it's part of Troll religion and tradition and they are real, considering how we have met some of them already. They're not just some random spirits. They are entities. Powerful entities. The August Celestials of Pandaria are the same type of beings as the Loa of the Trolls.
Someone doesn't know their lore very well.
please don't post anymore, you are so dense it hurts @Snowraven.
It continues the WoW tradition of the faction leader being the least qualified to actually lead.
Horde get a Troll that spent nearly an entire expansion in a coma after walking in to the most obvious trap ever and hid from the genocidal dictator trying to kill him in his own village getting another several dozen of his own people killed in the process. As a final display of his complete incompetence, he runs out on the Alliance during the Legion invasion after getting a boo-boo and puts ANOTHER genocidal dictator in charge before dropping (thankfully) dead.
Alliance meanwhile have Dwarves with centuries of hardened battle experience, Night Elves that have been the masters of guerrilla warfare experience for thousands of years or the Draenei, the aliens that live up to 25,000 years and have a racial leader who is the frigging Oracle of pretty much everything. But no, let's put the schizophrenic human with anger issues and his well-meaning but naive son in charge of the entire faction. To the other Alliance races, it must be like putting a goldfish in charge of their collective armies.
He became the king of stormwind (and all humans, I guess?) but I dont think he became the leader of all alliance...
Humans might be strongest but honestly it doesnt really make sense, its no longer like there are several human kingdoms, it seems there is just stormwind, gameplay wise they developed only stormwind, like if other races did literally nothing over the years (which is caused by lack of development of older zones. All they do is add stuff to stormwind because thats the gathering place for some reason. Like if dwarves with gnomes could not dig deeper through the mountain, dig up a cave and a build a secret harbor on the side where menethil harbor is? Ironforge has also airfield...untouched.
Anyway, I dont see a reason why Anduin should lead the Alliance, nor should Greymane. Dwarves are divided. We will see what happens...
They actually are wild gods. You should read Chronicle, it's extremely illuminating on the subject.
Some reading material if you're not in a position to read the book: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Wild_God
I have no faith in any of the current Leaders of either faction. I would have followed Garrosh or Varian but they ruined one of them and killed the other. I am just waiting for the Expansion where we can become Neutral with both sides.
Because they cba to write for the Alliance as anything other than a blue Horde and it's easier to write for humans, so they just write humans and say "yeah it's Alliance lore."
Absolute Monarchy is not the best system ever used due to the fact that the heir of a good monarch can still be a retard. In this case it's not the case 100%, but there have been examples in history where after a good king/queen their heir came into power and destroyed most of what they built. Why? Because in an absolute monarchy, he could do that.
You raised a good point and it made me question something. Are humans truly the USA of the Alliance anymore? In the end, over the last expansions, they're the ones who had the worst losses. Meanwhile, the dwarves got quite a few forces with the Wildhammer and Dark Iron joining them fully. The dwarves also are the ones building most of the machines of war used by the Alliance, from tanks to rifles. Dwarves have quite some political power too.
Why are not the dwarves the USA of the Alliance?
Honestly, I believe that if Stormwind was the USA, Khaz Modan would also be the USA power-wise. Night elves can be Germany. Worgen can be WW2 UK, as in strong but crippled now due to lack of ... country.
Also, no matter who is the USA of the Alliance, I doubt any nation is Latvia... maybe the Pandaren, but I'd count them as Malta.
Anyway, I think other nations are something akin to France, Germany, the UK, as in, nations that while not as strong, still quite strong enough to impose their will when they desire to do so.
I'm glad to hear that, means I won the argument, since you have no relevant counter to my point and resort to attacking me, the poster, instead.
So thanks
Actually... during the retaking of the Echo Isles we saw Bwotswandi or what's his name.
Dwarves are not very populous. Dwarves and Gnomes build a lot of stuff, but the resourcing seem to come from Stormwind. The trade, the shipyards, the lumber, the food and the manpower. And the Magic.
The Dwarves have always been depicted as the natural allies and auxiliaries of the Humans. Even recently the Council of Three Hammers was created when Varian intervened, marched into Ironforge and settled the political dispute for the Dwarves at basically "gun point".
As lore/fiction character, the Dwarves are like a Scottish/German hybrid thingy, both nations known for the industriousness.
It is the best, hell it is nigh perfect. Kings never rule alone, they have advisors. Bad king can be easily taken down by people, unlike in democracy and other shites of the same stench. Even the worst kind of king wishes to leave a prospering country o his heir, unless he is sick but then advisors take control. It is when kings power starts to get dilluted problem arise.
