I wonder what role Gilneas will play in all this. From what we heard so far the Alliance reclaims it but for some reason Arathi is the key point.
Gilneas is closer to UC/Lordaeron and bigger than Stromgarde. Maybe because it's not entirely cleansed from the plague yet?
It could be the Alliance reclaims Gilneas too solidly for the Forsaken to be able to attack it. Or they may have strateic reasons to make their final stand in Arathi instead of Gilneas, Stromguard is afterall in turmoil likely after their princes was raised, took control and then was cut down by DK players in Legion.

The plague of undeath that brought about the scourge and the forsaken plague are two very different things. Forsaken plague is a chemical weapon that destroys things but doesn't raise them etc. It doesn't spread on its own, it doesn't reaise the fallen as more soldiers, and the forsaken aren't going to be able to take a kingdom at peace off guard like the scourge of lordaeron did. Saying the Forsaken can just plague everything is like saying the alliance can just carpetbomb everything from their air ships.
Y'all ignoring the greatest loss the horde suffered.
The horde wickerman location has to change!
Lordaeron is more than just the capital city. It is all of the region except Elfland. This is the hotspot of Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3 and WoW. Enjoy your burned tree.

Let's be happy that you are not the president of the US. You sure like weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, she would. Slightly. Just a tiiiiiny bit.
P.S.
I am laughing at you people discussing who is more powerful and who could wipe out whom.
Get this - Alliance and Horde will not destroy each other and will continue to exist, both. Plot devices will (and have) be made for that. Unless Blizzard changes whole idea and removes the old factions, which does not seem likely in the near future.
Let's not mana bomb Kul'tiras.
Sylvanas needs more humans to raise, and a Forsaken Jaina..
Did you just call a "small cult" a plot orchestrated by the Burning Legion(read Kil'jaeden himself), and involving figures like Mal'Ganis, Tichondrius, Anetheron, Mephistroth, Balnazzar, Varimathras, Ner'zhul, Kel'Thuzad and numerous others?
And the whole point is, having such a plague, is a plot-armor of the highest order.
Malfurion and Dalaran were in the Alliance long before WoW. Or do you want entire order - Knights of the Silver Hand? Or perhaps Khagdar? Or Tirion Fordring? Or maybe even Bolvar Fordragon? It doesn't get any thicker than that.
When we talk about Undead in WC3, we talk about the Scourge. Plus their mere existance doesn't make them any less ridiculous from lore standpoint of view.
Oh, so the Blood Elves pull out of the Alliance, then they don't get their help, and that makes them join the Orcs and Trolls that killed their ancestors(or considering their long lifespan their families perhaps?). That makes total sense. Not a plot-armor at all.
What was that old Alliance you talk about? If Turalyon is affiliated with the current Alliance, it would only make sense that she is as well. About Quel'thalas - yes, they are her kin. Which both of her sisters left, without being absent for thousand years. And which is now allied with the already mentioned Orcs and Trolls and her deranged sister, that is following in the footsteps of Arthas, trying to create undead of her own.

Thats the whole idea behind the forums, isn't it? To discuss stuff we find interesting? If we wanted dry facts about the game, we would have stuck to the home page of mmochamp.
The salt is real. Dropping a brick on Lordaeron's head was already retaliation for burning Teldrassil. Go for it. I'd love to hear about the Alliance strolling into Orgrimmar (again) and turning it into a zoo.
"Come see the savages in their natural environment -- cages! This time we don't need to put them in camps! They've already built a large one for us!"
It's more Garithos set the blood elves up to get slaughtered and then when they turned to the naga for aid to keep from being killed by the scourge he captured and intended to execute them. And then the Purge of Dalaran thing. It's not just a matter of 'we left the alliance but they didn't help us anyway!'

Blizzcon didn't say Teldrassil happened first, in fact they left it ambiguous as to which capital is sacked first. It could well be that Teldrassil falls after Undercity.
So when are Gnomes gona use that radiation bomb they carry since wotlk?
they should kiss jainas ass for how much she has done for the horde. what did she get in exchage? bombed city! warchief garrosh, all muscle and no brain.
There is a void in my heart. Have you come to fill it?
Oh for fucks sake, not this forum faction animosity again.
