But it is so far away. Ok ingame it's just a 10 minute flightroute but realistically it would be like fleeing from Canada to Argentina, it's a really long way. And Arthas took the majority of the Lordaeron fleet to Northrend, i don't think there could have been many ships left that could even take such a long journey. And passenger ships didn't really exist in the middle ages...
Sure, some people may have made it to Stormwind but i really can't imagine that it would be more then a handful.
I play horde and frankly I don't see rational reason. Taking Arathi? Sure. There is a port here and Thoradin's wall makes great first line of defence - you can fall back to Thandol Span and there is a forward base in Alterac.
Alliance with Dark Irons help should also wipe away any horde/orc presence near Badlands and BlackRock. Then they can focus on southern lands.
Alliance should also send emissaries to plagulands and have some sort of treaty with Crusade and Ebon Hold in case Sylvanas should start something funny.
We will never get Lordaeron back.

With or without zombies? I say this because after seeing as Lordaeron fell at the hands of myriads of zombies, Queen Calia should not be very sympathetic towards the walking corpses ...
But of course, the logic also says that Turalyon and Alleria should be heroes of the Alliance, and yet we all know will happen to them soon ...
I also think the alliance should push the forsaken out of Lordaeron. Why? A kingdom with hundreds/thousands of years of history beats a bunch of living dead any day. There's also the fact that the Alliance's inability to retake Lordaeron makes it look weak.
The Alliance should Lordaeron back and push the Undead to EPL. The Forsaken could then take Stratholme or settle somewhere else. Northrend, perhaps?
But whatever Blizzard decide to do with Lordaeron, it's not practical to change things now, so nothing is going to happen until WoW comes to an end.

Let the Foresaken have Lordaeron. I'd be happy with the Alliance taking Arathi Highlands, Gilneas and getting South Shore back. Screw you Blizz for taking South Shore away!
Exactly, in fact, that would be the more logical ,easiest and faster solution. But we must also recognize that it would be the more boring solution.
If Calia had died and was revived, perhaps would make sense as the new Queen of the Forsaken after the fall of Sylvanas. However that would affect only the Forsaken and their relations with the Horde, but would leave out of the action to the Alliance (which would not recognize the legitimacy of a living corpse).
Now if Calia had survived and was alive somewhere then that would involve the Alliance in history. I believe that this is the most interesting and best option for the game since a narrative point of view (although I'm not objective because I am a member of the Alliance).
The question is: does the Forsaken player base would be satisfied if Calia replaces to the problematic Sylvanas as leader of the Forsaken?
the forsaken are not one single hive mind. they are a bunch of different people. you have some crazy ones like stillwater and putress, some decent ones like the guy that decided to leave the ghosts in hillsbrad alone because they are similar to the forsaken and deserve to keep their land (I forgot his name and I don't have time to look it up, I gotta go out in a few moments).
anyway: it's likely that part of the forsaken would reject calia because of her being arthas' sister, while another part of them would accept calia because she's the heir to the throne and terenas' daughter. terenas is still venered by the forsaken. on top of the undercity there's a memorial to him:
Here lies King Terenas Menethil II -- Last True King of Lordaeron.
Great were his deeds -- long was his reign -- unthinkable was his death.
"May the Father lie blameless for the deeds of the son.
May the bloodied crown stay lost and forgotten."
