Zandalari even more arrogant than Elves

[Mace]

So was starting the campaign on my new nightborne main, and have observed, the Zandalari are really arrogant, moreso than the elves.

So far I haven't noticed them seeming to have a problem with elves though, that is a bit weird after Azshara completely humiliated them, Thalyssra is not once commented on or reacted to by the Zanadalari princess, and their King so far seems to have no problems that an Elf rules the horde.

Oversight perhaps? Or is the racism selective out of convenience only?

Yeah, it’s a little strange, but then again, this elf Horde is begging for their help. In this moment they have the Horde’s mightiest hero, with one of the Horde’s leader and even Warchief’s champion all asking what they could do for them. Zandalari are in a position of power, perhaps that’s what dulls down racism?
As for being arrogant, Zandalari empire is the oldest empire on Azeroth and Zuldazar is the oldest city. While they spent their time being awesome, night elf empires fell twice, races mutated and changed, cities started to fly and who knows what else. As far as a general Zandalari would be concerned, his empire is the best thing Azeroth has ever produced.

i didn't notice they being as much arrogant as elves, thats just impossible, even after suramar. But its expected for a true master race with a golden empire together with a bit of hate against other non-trolls

those interactions are just conveniently little plot-holes, or they just didn't care to add

Oh it surprised me too, but when you arrive in Zuldazar just pay attention to what the npcs and the general are saying.. very very arrogant.

yeah but i think its just usual towards outlanders, even more outlanders who were not friendly

[Highlord Hanibuhl]

Well the elves derived from the trolls... And the zandalari used to be the prime tribe... it's not weird they're still a bunch of arrogant snobs.

It's kind of funny that the Horde has 4 versions of trolls; zandalari, darkspear, evolved trolls-blood elves and evolved trolls-nightborne

Were the Zandalari really that anti-elf, though?

I mean, Azshara was a Night Elf and 10,000 years ago, so there's that.

Best I can remember it was really only the Amani who had issues with Quel'thalas.

The Zandalari are a priestly caste of Trolls who've held themselves apart from other Trolls, and the rest of Azeroth, since time out of mind. They've shaped history, weathered upheavals, and grown in power despite numerous setbacks - it goes without saying that they're going to be hidebound, prideful, and generally very aloof. Most of the Elves of Azeroth have been humbled and sought out alliances with the Alliance or the Horde out of a need for protection and support. The Horde are coming to the Zandalari for their support, which puts the Zandalari in a place of implicit power (and they're very aware of it).

[Aucald]

Keep in mind that Tananji was trying to contact the Horde for help with the Zandalari's problems when she was captured by the alliance.

Most of the Zandalari seem not to know that (or if so, they don't really care) - they just know that the Horde is there for their navy, because they want to recruit them into their fight with the Alliance (as Jakra'zet accuses early on). It serves the Zandalari's pre-established self interest not to acknowledge that things are less than rosy in their ancient capitol.

Just because the plain incompetence of her father.

well they are a horde race, they have to have delusions of grandeur.

[Deleted]

They are their parent race, aren't they?

That was a long, long time ago for them, the princess mentioned that 200 years was many lifetimes for Zandalari, so its not like they were alive back in the day

[Arrashi]

But unlike elves they actually have reasons to be arrogant.

And still they are nowhere near of elven level of insufferable.

Which is actually kind of funny/ironic given Zul's original "plans" for Zandalar's rulership.

Which is an achievement, considering that we had a troll Warchief with a mostly troll centered Horde forces in WoD *and* a troll raid/dungeons in almost every expansion we had. With that amount of content one would expect trolls to outshine even elves in their negative aspects, but nope... Not yet...

Well, I feel like the reason for undead-hating is mostly their religious views, no? Zul is... Not as religious as most other trolls out there XD
