It's the last thing i would care about.... really.
Go read all the books and you'll see i'm not wrong at all. Wowwiki is not the best source of information.
She IS Alliance just like her husband is. She has A STATUE in Stormwind.
Answer to me : Why the remaining High Elves at Alleria's Stronghold in Outland are still Alliance members? Why all the living members of Alliance expedition of LORDAERON are STILL Alliance? Have you done the Alliance quests in Outland? Have you meet Danath Trollbane? His home is in ruins (Stormgarde) but he is still a member of the new Alliance.
The old Alliance is not the same with the old Horde. All the living members of the old Alliance are still within the new Alliance.
And goddamnit, her husband is Turalyon for fuck's sake. Have you read how much they've been through together? If you believe that she'll join the Blood Elves and the Horde, and leaving the Alliance,her husband, Veressa and the rest of the High Elves, then ''okay''
Edit : Many humans and heroes of Lordaeron are still alive you know. Forsaken are nothing like the old Lordaeron. They are the corpses of once humans of Lordaeorn, but they are nothing like them anymore.
See Tirion to understand how the people of Lordaeron once were.

Stopped caring about the lore after what they did to it in Cataclysm and especially Pandaria.
So - don't care to all four questions. It's just pretty pixels.
Because she is a hero of the Alliance that's why. All the statues in Stormwind are heroes of the Alliance that are still within the Alliance.
Danath Trollbane, Khadgar of Dalaran, Kurdan Wildhammer. You can find all three of them in Outland, they still are Alliance members. The other 2 statues are Alleria's and Turalyon's, and they are both missing.
Gameplay reasons? Seriously? It seems you haven't done the Alliance quests there. I'm sorry but ''gameplay reasons' answer is just stupid. Why make that base Alliance and not a Horde one? Why when the Dark Portal opened the remaining High Elves in Outland didn't join the Blood Elves? I'll tell you why. Because they hate each other and they are NOT the same people anymore.
No blood Elves are not offended by that comment. High Elves are still members of the Alliance as they always had been.
You tell me that Alleria will give a shit about Lor'Themar, a Blood Elf that exiled all the High Elves that didn't want to follow the path of Blood Elves instead of her husband?. She may give a shit about Sylvanas, but she is only a sexy abomination that hates every fucking living creature. Right.
Yes... this meme was beaten to death and we have enough lore icons as neutral heroes for greater good. We dont need anymore.
Not really... but makes little sense really. All this time she was fighting orcs and demons and now she would join a side that is filled with their remnants who are just as hazadous to alliance without the whole "horde" name tag? I dont think so. Then again, all this time in Outland could affect her and make her become a green eyed fel infused elf, which would make her a blood elf so... I dunno... quite a pickle.2) Turalyon is still Alliance but Alleria finds out about what happened to her kingdom and the Blood Elves, and decides to join Lor'themar.
Not really... It's typical for heroes to die for a right cause.3) We find out that one of them is dead, or dies in the process of the expansion.
The way blizz has tackled their issues with their recent announcements makes it highly unlikely.4) They don't show up at all, for another expansion.
Man, Alleria is Alliance. Honestly, go read all the books about her.
You do have a point but joining the Horde seems soooooo unlikely.
High Elves are part of the Alliance and she is a High Elf. There are many, many things that will keep her away from the new Horde.
Best thing that could happen, is for her to become neutral.
But i doubt it.
Think yourselves lucky that your characters live long enough to go neutral.
Horde NPCs have a nasty habit of getting killed or turning villainous that just pisses us off. Thrall went Neutral in Cata and the backlash was immense as Alliance players finally understood what Horde has suffered since classic.
I changed my mind. I would not mind if they went neutral. The thing is, they have been on an alien planet for over 25 years(in game) with their own struggles they face on a daily basis, so I highly doubt they care too much about current wow political affiliations, and probably just want what's best for everyone as a whole. They will also more then likely be staying on said alien planet after the expansion, so why even bother staying picking a side?
To be fair, Auric, Allerian Outpost's commander, is now a diplomat residing in Sunwell's chamber. At the end of the Quel'delar questchain, if the player is a blood elf, Auric joins Lor'themar and Rommath in congratulating the player and referencing both high elves and blood elves as children of Silvermoon. He isn't part of any specific faction that promotes peace, just the Alliance in general, so at least to me this suggests that peace with blood elves is what the regular high elf wants. Only Vereesa's Silver Covenant and some throaway individuals seem to represent a hardline attitude.
With that in mind, I definitely think Alleria won't be fiercely against the Horde, but more like Anduin: Alliance peace promoter. Only cool at it instead of a boring kid with boring pure heart.
Turalyon will likely be more Alliance-heavy. In this setting it would fit if Arator was torn between which ideology he should follow.
Now you see it. Now you don't.
But was where Dalaran?
Im not even die hard alliance player (play horde mostly) and i will be mad as hell if A option happend. They are Alliance Heroes, got their statues in stormwind. Just give alliance what is theirs. Horde got their own Heroes that need to be developed and get more important role, like Saurfang or Rexxar.
Except its not an excuse. I can accept the story going places I wouldn't necessarily want it going as long as it equals fun stuff to do in the game. I see some players getting so angry over the faction stuff and for the life of me I don't understand that, I don't relate to the 'omg screw Blizzard, they are totally biased toward horde/alliance' mentality at all. They tell the stories they opt to tell per expansion, I'm pretty sure that they don't sit around in meetings having discussions like 'Hey what we can do to just... effing piss off horde players this patch lolz?' The truth is, they probably never anticipated the degree of fanaticism some people have toward their factions.
Personally though? I don't play WoW expecting an interactive R.A Salvatore novel, and I don't certainly don't play WoW to keep track of which faction gets more facetime. I play to kill time and have fun with my friends. My point was that in a video game, gameplay should come first. If this was a movie, sure, I'd be up in arms if they didn't put the script/character development/dialogue etc about all else.
Would probably be easy to redeem Garrosh to some horde players. To alliance who have fond memories of Southshore and Theramore, not so much.
Most of the Horde "heroes" have been punked off the past few expansions, so I expect nothing less than the Alliance heroes to return and further make the Horde look like fools. That said, I'd be a bit sad if these heroes came back and failed straight away. Our side or their side, the world needs heroes.
