    In which case the San'layn that betrayed the Horde would be killed, that doesn't impact the playable character.

    Dreven's boat was sinking, I think its going to be hard to find a sunken horde ship and the drained bodies at the bottom of the ocean.

    Fighting on the frontlines of conflicts is "security"? Why join a large faction at war with another large faction if your goal is "security"? With how San'layn are characterized i don't see them giving a damn about anything but drinking blood.
    The same reason the Nightborne joined the Horde, there is risk in joining a war but with one faction on your side both sides won't be pulling at you, in the San'layn case, both sides wont have them as KoS.

    Thing is playable vampiric elves already exist. Chronicles describes the Void as such: "This was the Void, a dark and vampiric force driven to devour all energy,". Shadow priests have an ability called Vampiric embrace and a talent literally called "San'layn". The vampiric dark elf motif is already taken by Void elves.
    That's a preeeeety hard stretch. Blood death knights are closer to vampires than void elves, and of course literal vampires are the vampire motif, not the emo void elves. The same exact argument could have been made for void elves in general, no need for them to exsist when there are shadow priests, no need for demon hunters to exist with demonology warlocks. Void elves are about as vampiric as "my immortal" that is to say not at all, outside of the entropic energy that could be described as vampiric, same thing with void energy.

    Nope, since you kill him right after. But Sylv clearly didn't trust them or hire them as reliable enforcers, they were just put under the regular chain of command with Rokhan in charge to test them.
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Not attacked per se, but coerced. Suramar is weakened, but has great potential, and is new in modern Azeroth.
    Joining the Horde was a willing pre-emptive decision, before others would make that decision for them.
    But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.

    The Horde seemed to find Derek easy enough. Finding that boat on the bottom of the ocean would be easy.

    Pretty sure the San'layn would be safer from Horde or Alliance attacks in Northrend.

    Many would argue Void elves weren't needed as a playable race. Your Demon hunter/Shadow priest analogy makes no sense though. One comparison is a spec vs a class, the other is a spec vs a race. What happened with Demonology/Demon hunters is exactly what should have happened to Shadow/Void class.

    Void elves are vampiric by being former magic vampires who fused with a cosmic energy stated in lore to be vampiric in nature. Like you said, the drinking blood thing is already covered by blood dks. No need for another elf race. I'd be cool with playable Vrykul Vampyrs though.

    Nah, but she never found out about Varimathras even though he is a dreadlord and was literally her second in command. So she probably would have never learned of Dreven's betrayal.

    Assuming the Horde wrote down the latitude and Longitude at the position where they kept their ships, and that the sinking ship did not roll, glide, or break apart as it sank beneath the ocean.

    If they had another risen tidesage they'd still need something that belonged to one of the crewmen to locate them. This also banks off of the Horde bothering to do this in the first place, basing this off of one would assume the Alliance telling them, its an unlikely scenario to even want them to look for that ship in the first place, finding it would be even harder.


    Pretty sure the San'layn would be safer from Horde or Alliance attacks in Northrend.

    Not if the Lich king is hunting them and trying to force them back into his forces. And we know in Chronicle he's all about keeping all the scourge under his control, he freaked outt when he realized the Val'kyr left him.

    The point is that Blizzard isn't afraid to overlap class themes, or in this case, build a race out of a playable spec.

    Void elves are vampiric by being former magic vampires who fused with a cosmic energy stated in lore to be vampiric in nature. Like you said, the drinking blood thing is already covered by blood dks. No need for another elf race. I'd be cool with playable Vrykul Vampyrs though.
    There's being modified by an entropic energy that can be described as vampiric, and then there is being an actual vampire sucking the blood out of people. That's a niche Blizzard could carve out quite easily if they wanted.

    Nah, but she never found out about Varimathras even though he is a dreadlord and was literally her second in command. So she probably would have never learned of Dreven's betrayal.

    Unless you take Afraisbi's coke ramblings as canon and Sylvanas was just playing 4d chess with a dreadlord.

    No but they would have had to deal with both sides pressuring them, both sides wanting to trade, to recruit, to try blockade or otherwise force their allegiance. By choosing one side they insure they have allies and won't be picked apart between two factions.

    Could they actually though? They'd be attacking the Nightborne on their own turf, backed up with the Horde who now have the sole access to their teleportation network, their nightwell, etc.

    So the alliance could "try" to make an example, and the Horde would meet them in force, or once again attack where the Alliance wasn't.

    How do Forsaken find sunken ships for their fleet? Obviously they go looking for them. They don't need to breathe underwater so all they need is good motivation to do so.

    I would assume they have raised more tide sages but a tide sage isn't required to find sunken ships. It may take more time but they just need a group of Forsaken divers looking for it in the general area where it was. There is zero reason to assume the Alliance would tell the Horde about anything concerning Dreven. The Horde would logically want to find out what had happened to the San'layn they had recruited. Simple.

    That's an assumption. It's just as likely they would work under LK and rule Northrend together.

    Point being you can have blood drinking without adding another playable elf. Vrykul Vampyrs exist.

    In her head, Slyvanus is playing 99d chess. However a fictional character can only be as smart as the person who writes them. And it's obvious how smart Blizzard writers are.

    I dont think dredging up ships that sank in the bay of Lordaeron because no one was left alive to maintain them is the same as going out into the middle of the ocean to find a ship.

    The Horde knows the ship containing Dreven was attacked and it sank, if there's no reason for them to expect treachery then there's no reason for them to go looking to figure out what happened, as Nathanos, the Horde pc + others saw the ship attacked and saw it sinking/sunk.


    That's an assumption. It's just as likely they would work under LK and rule Northrend together.
    That isn't how Bolvar works, every undead is his in his mind, they aren't allowed to do what they want if he has them, he wants all the scourge tight to his chest and in his mental grasp.

    Point being you can have blood drinking without adding another playable elf. Vrykul Vampyrs exist.

    And so do San'layn, one doesn't invalidate the other, and vampire elves have been fleshed out a ton more than the vampire Vrykul that get mentioned twice over two expansions.

    The worgen allied race should be dragonmen imo. Maybe Wrathion can refine some of Nefarian's work, creating an improved line of dragonmen that possess full human intelligence and the ability to transform back into their human forms (which could be swarthier and more ME/NA/EA-based).

    Are you sure it sank? I know it was on fire, but that doesn't mean it sank for sure. Assuming it did sink, it was still one of the newer Forsaken ships and it wasn't the only one out there. They could easily go to try and recover all of them.

    If Nathanos and the PC saw the ship then that settles it, it would be easy to find it's general location. Unless the PC and Nathanos have the memory of goldfish.

    And that's different from becoming a tool for the Warchief how? At least Bolvar would have the power to resurrect them if they died.

    Vampire elf is still an elf. You would need to add another elf to the Alliance to balance it out. There is already 4 types of elves. The game doesn't need any more.

    with the forsaken/worgen they can literally do the swap again without any problems.

    if it was indeed a pushback they would not be so much playable, tey literally became the third most playable race in the alliance in a little spanw of time.

    3. Any number of reason 'Because back then it was an emperor only thing, mogu used to be sexist but now they're changing, because this clan we've never heard of still does female bodies but it was just out of style with others' literally any excuse works, Blizz just didn't have a female model at launch.
    nah, your "reasons" have no sense

    It was half way underwater during the Horde Quest.


    Seeing the place a ship sinks doesn't mean you know where it ends up on the ocean floor, rarely does anything sinking go straight down, it will roll, possibly break apart, smash into the seabed and sink into the silt, etc.


    There still hasn't been given a good reason why the Horde, why the Forsaken would spend so much effort to drag a ship that most likely wont even be in one piece from the ocean floor, and judging by the new boats, I think like most things the Forsaken no longer drag up sunken boats, like their new buildings they make them from scratch.

    If Nathanos and the PC saw the ship then that settles it, it would be easy to find it's general location. Unless the PC and Nathanos have the memory of goldfish.
    as I said above, seeing a boat sink =/= knowing where it settled on the ocean floor.




    Hell this doesn't even go into how most of the bodies on the ship probably got sucked out as the ship sank, and could be hundreds of yards from the wreck.

    And that's different from becoming a tool for the Warchief how? At least Bolvar would have the power to resurrect them if they died.

    Because being a slave to the lich king equals literally no free will? I don't think I have to explain why free willed undead would rather side with other free willed undead over giving up their own minds once more.

    Vampire elf is still an elf. You would need to add another elf to the Alliance to balance it out. There is already 4 types of elves. The game doesn't need any more.

    And that's the beauty of opinions, I don't rather care if San'layn get added or not, but you're trying very hard to make them sound less likely then they are.

    1. You're being too literal there :P and if they 'do the swap again' what exactly are you proposing? That it can be any race?

    2. No, there can still have been pushback and they can still be common due to other factors like racials.

    3. Subjective disagreement.

    Mogu? Not likely. Hozen are far more likely.

    literal is how things work, like it said they have lots of options, they can use the worgen model/rig ot a race and give to the horde drakonid or saberons, and use the undead model to give a race to the alliance, ligh undeads those mindflayers like race, who knows.
    2. No, there can still have been pushback and they can still be common due to other factors like racials.
    its because the receptions is way bigger than the pushback
