It's just me pulling this all out of my ass, but considering they share the worgen skeleton in some way, it makes me really hopeful on them being an allied race. All the other races so far have shared skeletons with current races, and they are putting sooooo much work into these guys that there is no way they just throw them out after what, 2 questing zones of them?
If Sethrak end ups being Alliance counter part for Vulpera i will forgive Blizzard for stupid Void Elves.
I earnestly think it will.
We know that both Goblin and Worgen rigs lack facial rigging and will need facial rigging to be updated to current Player Model Quality (Something the Devs are trying to do before BFA ends). By using the Vulpera model generation as a basis for creating facial rigging on the Goblin Rig, that work can be carried forward into updating the Goblin Models by putting them right onto the new facial rigging.
Sethrak use the Worgen rigging, and can thus be used on the same basis: As a way to update the Rig with facial rigging to allow for the future update of the Worgen Model. Essentially killing two birds with one stone. Or, at least, severely wounding them both.
When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like injustice.
Obviously the Sethrak will never be an allied race, but I'm totally in support for this abomination to be in game.
I'd prefer it to be horde so I could laugh more often seeing them in raids.
"Why do you keep missing mechanics?"
"Bruh, this Sethrak over here is way too distracting."
Both are underground, part of a larger complex of open caves, with areas visible beyond the dungeon's playable scope indicating a larger society. They also both use hints of Egyptian Styles in certain bits of their architecture or North African vibes in their use of rugs and some of the patterns scattered about?
Also I think that would make and awesome "Allied Race Hub" for them, too!

Indeed wich is why I would find it a complete waste to throw them onto the same pile that Drogbar and Co now occupy only relevant for like 1 and half zones only to be forgotten when the next expac rolls out,they look awesome in my opinion and the game is in my mind due for a reptile race, at this point I really dont care wich faction they would join but personally I think they would really fit with the Alliance as the "not really bad guys" or Forsaken of the faction we need some thing in that faction that isnt a goody two shoes race and adhere to human cultural standards and it needs some racial diveristy in my opinion of course.
n e v e r ! ! ! It looks like crap, exactly like vulpera or even worse!

HOW COULD YOU PUT A HELM ON THAT HEAD?? Rly guys, you don't even care about how armor will look? How THAT tail will look trough your PLATE pants or robe? same for vulpera, how that tail and those ears will look in armor? I can tell you honestly how this races will look in ARMOR, they will look like C R A P!
Lots of ways to put a helmet on that head. Or they could just not wear helmets? Most players hide them, anyhow, and it's not like there isn't precedent in the troll/tauren "No Boots" department. And their tail would stick out just like a Draenei's, but longer.
Like... If the armor not fitting on them like you'd like is the reason for them not to become an allied race, it's not a really strong argument at all.
