The "weakened remnants of the Scourge" were a threat all the way till WotLK, with Blood Elves needing Forsaken support to keep them contained. You also omitted the Amani. Meanwhile Vereesa aided, you know, Halduron (and Vol'jin) in Zul'aman, scouted around Theramore where she failed to fulfill her objective, slaughtered defenseless Sunreaver civilians and prevented their means of escape just so she could slaughter more (even though Jaina's declared goal was driving the Sunreavers out of Dalaran) and then served under Varian during SoO. Not exactly great military accomplishments. And even all of that happened after she declared herself a Ranger General. Prior to that she had personal adventures that were not events where she commanded any troops. The only military campaign where she actually did something of notice was in Suramar, more than half a decade after she named herself Ranger General.
Which part of it also being called a New Horde by some characters, which clearly separates it from the Old Horde (kinda the point of new and old labels in such a context), were you incapable of understanding, exactly? Whoopty doo, Shattered Hand and Warsong followed him. Oh, wait, Warsong then followed Thrall and his New Horde. I guess it was secretly the Old Horde all along. And so was the Fel Horde because hey, Shattered Hand.
So first you deliberately ignore the part where @Qualia said it turned into a neutral faction and then the part where they talked about it being Alliance throughout the Second War? Great points right there.
Doesn't change the fact that Arator is an unmistakably Alliance-aligned character. He was basically born on Draenor (or little before the expedition began, can't remember the current state of affairs) and basically knows shit about half of his lineage apart all the Allerian High Elves clearly aligned with the Alliance. Arator has nothing to do with the Horde. Hell, he has nothing to do with the Blood Elves either.
Wrong. What we truly need is a Windrunner who dies and stay dead. For real, not like Sylvanas.
The Sin'dorei are politically allied with the Horde. You can't be one and not the other, unless she wants to be the weirdo of the country who anytime a Troll or Orc shows his face around Silvermoon she's kept restrained somewhere shouting threats and curses. That's what we'd call nowdays "failed (re)integration".
Except she'll have to unless, again, she doesn't want to be some weirdo who doesn't follow orders and do the fuck she wants. That's not joining the Blood Elves, that's becoming a semi-Rexxar-like hermit who shows up to help her people only when her personal morals and Alliance-leaning allegiances are not offended.

Garrosh held borderline fascist views from the very beginning and his downfall was foreshadowed by WotLK times, Sylvanas is blatantly led through a more positive direction compared to the awful place she started her journey.

IMHO it would be interesting if Veressa just feed Alleria with a lot of H-Elf viased information to make the Horde and the new kingdom of quelthalas look as the bad guys.
The main question is... how would Alleria take it? would Alleria wish to confront her sister or her people? if so what would happen with Veressa? Will she, and her people become even more isolated from their lands?
Too many questions!!!
I think Christie Golden will putt something like that in books. And it will total sux as all her writing and total ruin this important Windrunner reunion.
Hmm, so far I believe only mention of Sylvanas to Alleria is that she is horde leader, but not how/why and what she is now? I think that is an important hint with Alleria's void connection. I guess Alleria might have information to restore Sylvanas or at least then realizes she might be used by the void as a tool.
I'm an altoholic since 2005.
So no more dialogue added to this in week 2 i take it?
Those who do not stand with the Forsaken stand against them. And those who stand against the Forsaken will not stand long
I expect Sylvanas versus Alleria, each being the Shadow representative of their faction.
