Mankrik's Wife for Warchief!
See what I did there? :P
Blizzard said during a Q&A- "At least Garrosh called her out on it. What will the next Warchief do about it? Better question: What if SYLVANAS is the next Warchief? Oh man."
This was some how translated into "The next warchief is going to come down hard on Sylvanas!" by some people.
"Terror, darkness, power? The Forsaken crave not these things; the Forsaken ARE these things."

fucking dog lol so many times hes been pulled into my FTH raids
gamon better hit that gym
Orcs originally were a peacefull shamanistic race, very much like the Tauren, the Official race page says it. You dont have enough knowledge about the lore to discuss things like this.
Orcs ARE NOT a blodthirsty violent race, they got violent and bloodthirsty because of Kil'jaeden's corruption.
Original Orcs, REAL ORCS were like Thrall and very much opposite to Garrosh.
Could there also be chance that Voljin will unite various scattered troll tribes under the horde banner?
Um what? Garrosh wasn't like that until Cataclysm. He's been around since BC. Check it.

Not really, no. Thrall is very much an anomaly, probably owing to having been raised by humans for a portion of his life.
Garrosh is untainted, thus far, by the blood of Mannoroth. Orcs were primitive and brutish. Not necessarily as bloodthirsty as yaungol, etc... But having shamans in league with you does not mean your race is not vicious.
The only tribe it seems that could do that is the zandalari but theyve gone bad for some reason but i would love to see vol'jin reunite the tribes but i feel it would be too OP to have one faction be able to control the whole of the troll empire including the amani and the gurubashi
It sure wouldve tipped the scales if the darkspear could unite the other troll nations into a mighty empire again
(my lore is a little rusty so plz excuse if me)
I cant link the official race page because the site is down, but originally Orcs were peacefull ahd shamanistic, very much like Thrall. Garropsh is untainted, yes, but influenced by his father actions. Thrall, Grreatmother and Aggra are not anomalies, that's how Orcs were before the taint, very much like Taurens, a shamanistic race with a Warrior code.
1) No one has jumped to the "wrong" conclusion simply because Vol'jin AS Warchief and Vol'Jin NOT AS Warchief are both plausible ideas until Blizzard actually names the new Warchief
2) Unrelated subject matter? Blizzard has said many times the books and such outside of the online game add to the story and are intertwined with the lore of the online game so I wouldn't go so far as to say that a book about Vol'jin is unrelated.
3) As for losing the point of what the story is about (Orcs vs Humans), again it's Blizzards game and they can change it how they want at any time without your approval or consent. Blizzard has proven this in the past buy "adding" lore or "ignoring" lore (other ppls words hence the quotes) as they see fit.
On my own personal note, I like the idea of a non-orc Warchief I'm just not sure its gonna happen

I'm not disputing the facts as presented in this thread, but I do not believe that Thrall, Greatmother, and Aggra are necessarily indicative of the entire race. There's lots of examples in-game of untainted orcs behaving badly. Unless there is some sort of retcon suggesting a preternatural influence on Garrosh, he seems rather attuned to his ancestors' nature. His father's memory doesn't seem like "enough" to drive him to the wild-eyed, crazed bloodlust he is currently experiencing.
Why is everyone hating on Garrosh? I for one hate him and aren't a fan of him, but I do see that Wrynn is no better...
I just hope that our, the Alliance, will be rid of this equally war-crazed bloodthirsty maniac of a leader just like the Horde...
So, people, in another posts someone made me aware of the existence of this interview (still dont know how i missed it at the time)

where the lead producer from MoP says clearly that we wil reinstate Thrall as Warchief. This and Metzen's words should be enough to clear all doubts.
