Do you think Tyrande would destroy the Arcandor?

[FelPlague]

Nothing points to her not willing to do that, She was willing to destroy the nightwell afterall.

However by the time of BFA, destroying it may be pointless, the cure has already been distributed for a while now, and still would be up until the attack.

except the nightwell feeds their addiction well the arcandor cures it.
also the last two wells of power were used to summon the legion so she has a reason to want to destroyed

[Jester Joe]

I could see her trying. Failing, but trying. I'm sure there are spells and such in place to hide it well enough. Elisande never found it, for example.

They never found it because they were cooped up in Suramar up until we came to the Broken Shore.

[Friendlyimmolation]

The night well is a different beast thou. It's a purely arcane source of power that saps it's power from the planet/titan itself while the Arcandor is to a big part of Druidic nature fused with the arcane.
It would be strange if night elves would actively destroy a tree that provides life, even if it's for their enemies. Tyrande may be a dickhead at times but she's not a monster like Sylvannas.

Uh, you do realize the Night elves brag about wiping out old races they fought with right?

The nightwell was the only thing keeping the Nightborne alive, so by saying she wanted the nightwell gone(with no knowledge of the arcandor) It's not hard to put two and two together.

And again, Tyrande had no knowledge of the arcandor, and knew that the NW was the only thing keeping the NB alive.

I'd support it. As an Alliance player I basically handed the Nightborn the ability to thrive and well... Live and then they joined my enemies.

Would be totally fine with purging them and their Arcandor and taking Suramar back for the Night Elves alongside Val'sharah.

First you'll have to plant a new tree.

Better blow up the Arcandor fast, or the nightborne will be all cured and it's death will have no impact.

Nah, thats probably not canon. Given the dialogue, it was horde who did all the real job. Alliance was probably just looking after tyrande so she won't get lost or something.

[Trassk]

To be fair, everyone in the Horde is shit.

Saurfang is an incredibly noble character who values the hordes survival, Baine is the same. don't get bitter just because the alliance only has one, maybe two worthwhile characters left in it.

[Super Kami Dende]

For what? After purging those Mana-addicted traitors the Night Elves could just set up shop in Suramar.

Because night elves are afraid of walls and ceilings obviously.


I would enjoy watching a Tyrande Vs Thal fight though.

[Mehrunes]

You mean like someone plague bombing their own home just so no one could populate it, even though no one would want to live in that sewer anyways?

You mean the stage of the scenario that happens before Alliance breaches the walls, which indicates plague being deployed over the walls at the Alliance forces? Which is further supported by the Horde withdrawing deeper into the city even later? For fuck's sake, even the description of the blight part of the scenario says it's used on the Alliance forces to drive them away, not as scorched earth tactic on the city.

*Meanwhile in fanfiction land*

[Super Kami Dende]

Maybe the Alliance was too busy actually defeating the Legion instead of having their leader trying to enslave the Valkyr. I'd say canonically the horde did sweet fuck all to defeat the legion in Antorus.

If the whole Nightborne situation is addressed in the new novel, I wouldn't be surprised if a blood elf adventurer is responsible for saving Thalyssra and the nurturing of the Ar'candor, it would properly explain their favor of the horde.

[Arrashi]

Because night elves are afraid of walls and ceilings obviously.

And they would lose that city anyway.

Lorewise they were called and answered

Noone cares, and there are no lore to support it either way. On the other hand nightborne story in BFA pretty much shows that it was horde doing bulk of work in suramar.

[Deleted]

Was a long time since i did Suramar now, but are it stated that Tyrande doesnt know about Arcan'dor. I mean we are fully aware of it, Khadgar knows about it. So why wouldnt Tyrande know about it.

[Doffen]

WoW Tyrande was, WC3 Tyrande actually got along with blood elves.

Tyrande, the lady with several personalities. They made her into such a bad character wich is hard to see. Most hordie-fans seems to overreact though. She is supposed to be a bit sceptical and cynical, but in Legion she went full I don't like you mode.

She would never(lorewise) touch the Arcan'dor because it gives life to people, children and adults alike. She is not like that. And to be fair, she did mostly see Thalryssa and her closest, + the whole force of Elisandes forces wich is in fact teaming up with the Legion, thus evil in her and I would think, most of the Alliances and the Hordes eyes(talking about Elisandes and her forces). Where the destroying Nightwell comes into relevance.

Any regret I had for these people vanished when they went under that shield.

[Aucald]

This thread is about the Arcan'dor and Tyrande's possible actions toward it - not the Forsaken or the person of Sylvanas. Return to the topic at hand.

Except for the main force against the Legion being 2 Humans, a High Elf, a Night Elf and a Draenei + a legion of Lightforged.
