    Let's be honest, the Night Elves, the dragons, and the demi-gods did most of the work in the war of the ancients. And regardless, it has nothing to do with the fact that Azeroth was able to repel the Legion's invasion without any help from the orcs.

    Because Blizzard is bad at writing Alliance storyline.
    That's why is' also boring with the Horde.

    Out of all the races in azeroth he goes to orcs who have half their people imprisoned, who has no land or any good army . Points them to their destiny. And even then they move around destroying azeroth's chances against the legion. Murlocs would make better allies.

    Black Morass, Caverns of Time. As well as Assault on Durnhold Keep, Caverns of Time, to a lesser extent. The argument is what the infinite dragonflight speak, and what the bronze dragonflight state. Its the lesser of two evils. (It makes me think of whom the infinite are, because of Murozond in End Time. Are they simply the thoughts of the bronze dragonflight thinking what if...? Some lore fanatic has the answer.)

    So recruiting the tauren and trolls didn't help fight against the legion in your mind.. even when the tauren faught against the legion thousends of years prior.

    I can't decide if your logics on par with swiss cheese or a wet paper bag.

    All the original horde did was adding 2 or 3 more races into the mix.

    Azeroth would be wiped out 10000 years ago because Broxigar wouldn't be there.

    Actually.. yes, thats very much it. Any argment against the orcs coming to azeroth is made null and void by pure matter of fact an orc, who if not being on azeroth, would not have been sent back in time, so would not have given the enchanted axe, and who would not have thrown himself into the well of eternity to keep the legion at bay long enough for the rest to close the portal.
    There wasn't anyone else who did something that crazy, so yes, as a paradox, the orcs had to come to azeroth, otherwise there would be no azeroth.

    That bit is pretty dumb. Yeah Broxigar did it, but that implies in some universe the Legion lost there without him involved, leading to Broxigar to begin with, because if they won, he would not exist. At least not as we know it, because the first, second, and third war would not have happened, since the Legion wouldn't have needed to use the Orcs.

    God I hate time travel in stories.

    You mean if Broxigar destroyed the legion it would have meant the legion wouldn't have been able to corrupt the orcs to begin with.

    Fact was, he didn't, he just killed countless demons from what was an infinite source, and held Sargeras off long enough for the portal to be closed. That didn't destroy the legion, it just meant it took them a very long time to return to azeroth, and before that, they found draenor. Kil'jaeden was the one who corrupted the orcs, not sargeras, so certain details didn't quite come together, but really it all gels up.

    I'm saying they needed to create a time line where he existed to begin with, where he did not exist. They sent a copy of him back in time, but that requires a time line to have existed that allowed his existence. It's a giant circular loop, worse than chicken or the egg.

    There had to have been a "root" timeline, starting at the bottom of this, before there was a copy of him to send back. Without him, either he wasn't make or break, or the Legion would have one if he was necessary.

    I just wish any and all time travel was non canon if the span was greater than a month or two.

    I could be wrong but I always got the impression Lordaeron was the strongest nation. It's referred to as the capital city of the Alliance. The humans had city-states and each had its own little region. But in addition to Tirisfall, Lordaeron's dominion was every part of Lordaeron, hillsbrad, the plaguelands, silverpine, etc. except the other cities and their immediate zones (Alterac and its mountains, Stromguard and Arathi, Gilneas and Gilneas, and Dalaran).

    Stormwind is the nation of Azeroth. I don't think it could control the northern kingdoms if it wanted to, it's pretty isolated in the south with all the dwarves in between

    Elune wouldn't have just sat on the sideline's if Azeroth was going to be destroyed by an invading army, she would've created a impenetrable barrier around the world tree and or/ night elf army allowing them to conquer the legion.

    There would be no azeroth because Borixigar wouldn't have saved it.

    Your squeaky clean Night elves have a lot to answer for, there not the so called peacekeepers long ago. read the ingame book :Empires fall

    Aside from their shadowy origins, it is clear that the Night Elves came to power soon after their discovery of the Well of Eternity. Despite the trolls' attempts to keep them from expanding their territories, the Night Elves built up a mighty empire that expanded rapidly across primordial Kalimdor. Wielding fierce magics never before imagined by the superstitious trolls, the night elves had little trouble doing what the evil Aqir could never do: topple the two greatest empires in the world.
    The night elves systematically dismantled the troll's defenses and supply chains. The trolls, unable to counter the elves' destructive magics, buckled under the onslaught. The night elves proved to every bit as cunning and bloodthirsty as the savage trolls - incurring the latter race's eternal hatred and disdain. The Gurubashi and Amani Empires fragmented within only a few short years.
    Eventually, the night elves were burned by the arcane fires they had sought to control. Their reckless use of magic had lured the demonic Burning Legion to the world. The demons crushed much of the night elves' civilization. Though there are no records to indicate that the Legion attacked either troll civilization, it is likely that battles took place across the breadth of the continent.

    At the end of this terrible conflict - known as the War of the Ancients - the Well of Eternity imploded. The resulting shockwave shattered the greater landmass of Kalimdor. The center of the continent was blasted beneath the sea, leaving only a small group of broken, single continents.
    Thus, great chunks of both the Amani and Gurubashi Empires still exist in the present day lands of Quel'Thalas and Stranglethorn Vale (respectively). The Azj'Aqir kingdoms of Azjol-Nerub and Ahn'Qiraj have also survived in present day Northrend and Tanaris (respectively).
    Both troll civilizations recoiled from the vast destruction of the primordial world they had known. The dauntless trolls rebuilt their ravaged cities and set about to reclaim some of their former power.

    A lot of people tend to miss this but i think its a major event.

    I think the biggest primary orblem would be the tauren and darkspear pretty much getting wiped out, while conversely no nerzhul means no lich king which means silvermoon remains a vibrant bustling city of an exploding high elf population. Nobody meets that night elves and so they are forced to fight the qiraji alone- albiet with hyjal not exploded in this tangential narrative they would all still be ageless immortals.

    Most likely course of action? cthun is released, takes over kalimdor and sw, gilneas, loraeron, alterac, stromgarde, silvermoon, dalaran and ironforge unite to fight them while unbenownst to them the dark irons are summoning rags and nerfarian and onyxia are sowing dischord all over.

    Everyones turning over everyone and then when it doesnt seem to get any worse deathwing wakes up.

    Broxxigar, Ronin and Krasus being sent back in time created an alternate timeline (no idea if it overwrote the original one, or created a split-off), but in the original one, there was no Broxxigar, and the Legion was still defeated.

    If there's no Nerzhul and hence no LK then no one goes to Northerend when Yogg-Saron is released, so Algalon comes and wipes the planet clean without any resistance.

    How do you know they were sent to an "alternate" timeline and not just sent back in time?

    Actually without anybody going to Northrend to kill Lokhan "Prime Designate" who was working for Yogg with his Irons, the "Alagalon failsafe" would not have been activated and he would never have arrived.

    Ok so if the Horde never arrived.

    Humans would continue to war endlessly with each other, as well as fighting trolls and others. Many races would be isolationist and focus on their own affairs, gomes would still irradiate their home, tauren would be wiped out.

    With the lack of the Orcs, the legion would still need to create another proxy invasion force to weaken Azeroth before their arrival, and would pick something else.

    Medivh would still be possessed by Sargeras and would simply hatch a new plan.
