    No idea what you're basing that on but ok. It's possible but I personally doubt it will happen.

    Garrosh was specifically chosen by Thrall because he would be accepted and supported by the orcs. Garrosh hasn't done anything to piss them off, so there's no reason to believe their attitude towards him has soured.

    In De-Subjugation, Thrall says "The orcs have changed. My Horde has changed. Do I kill my fellow orcs until it is once again "my" Horde? Do I have any right to try force the Horde to be what it once was?" It sounds like a majority of orcs are with Garrosh.

    That seems like a stretch to me that is still assuming far too much about what will happen in the following patches but I can see why you would think that way. The majority of the orcs wouldn't be against Garrosh because they simply have no way of knowing what he's done.

    Huh. Interesting, thanks.
    Now that you mention it, I do vaguely remember them talking, in passing, about electing the governor or w/e in Redridge and while the areas you mentioned probably were democratic on a local level, I wager they're probably still very subservient to the absolute monarchy in Stormwind and the house of Wrynn.
    I'm curious about why Crossroads was listed, I'll have to check it out.

    I suppose Westfall, after Defias began their revolt, became a territory that was in a mixed state of anarchism and anarchy. With Defias running plundering, pillaging and being a general nuisance on the one had and the organised, volunteer militia of regular-Joe citizens on the other.

    I imagine that the Allerian Stronghold settlement in Terokkar was a relatively participatory/inclusive and mutually-cooperative community, despite Auric Sunchaser being the technical leader of the Outpost (presumably based on military rank). They presumed (rightly, with the knowledge they had) that they were a racially-plural group of mixed nationalities trapped on an alien world, away from their various nations and their kings, and they were there for a couple of decades. A community that small doesn't last very long if someone tries to become a dictator.

    Crossroads having an elected council is on the Barrens (original) page. I haven't been able to find any other reference to it.

    I can't stop laughing tbh.
    People are reading too much into this. He's a potential warchief just like Sylvanas, Baine, Vol'jin, Gallywix, etc are.

    From the sounds of it someone listed anywhere with a "Mayor" as being a democratic government. In reality there is no guarantee such towns are actually democratic, or at least democratic in any sense we'd understand it. Or it might of been something from the RPG, which are no longer canon.
    Roleplaying, hardcore Raiding, running LFR on the occasional weekend, PvPing, rolling alts, achievement hunting, pet battling, or just enacting an endless series of whims, I don't care how you play WoW. Just as long as you have fun doing it.

    Exactly this. If someone asked a question about Goblins, Undead, etc. etc. Kosak would of given the same answer "Leader of race X is a possible warchief" But since Blood Elves have become the poster child of the new age of Horde players, it was bound to be a question directed towards Blood Elf lore.

    Dude. You dug all that out from a bunch of NPCs handing "kill ten rats, collect ten craps" quests? Dude, you're deep.

    I am basing it on Shattering, it is stated the young Orcs practically worship Garrosh, while the old ones don't agree with the direction the horde is headed and the generation in between is all but eradicated, because of constant warfare. So unless that changes drastically, I have little hope the orcs will be that popular in the future within the horde.

    Hehe, I guess I tend to over-think bits of lore I'm interested in.

    (Urgh! So many spelling errors looking at that post again! I should really read through planned posts before submitting them when I'm tired! >.<)

    Personally, I think it will be Vol'jin. It's a mixture of gut feeling, the fact that he was Thrall's best friend for a LONG time and saw the mistakes and successes he made, and the fact that he is getting a novel.

    Well, if he keeps this up, maybe I'll change my mind...

    I'm honestly expecting a War-Council with members of all the races and a pseudo Warchief in name only that has the same amount of power as every other member, just like Varian in the Alliance.

    Pseudo Warchief :Thrall
    Major Members: Baine Bloodhoof, Vol'jin, Sylvanas Windrunner, Lor'themar Theron, Eitrigg, Jastor Gallywix
    Minor Members: Varok Saurfang, Rexxar, Ji Firepaw, Roanauk Icemist, Zaela, Drek'Thar

    He barely gets respect from the belfs, his closest allies the undead treat him as a tool , the rest of the horde barely knows he exists.

    He is well respected among his people, he no longer answers to Sylvanas the last time she wanted something he ignored her outright, and the last part is the playerbase and has no meaning lorewise.

    He is probably the most UN-interesting choice for the role.

    He will probably have the best interest of the Blood Elves in mind rather then the horde when making decisions as a War chief.
