Going through a lot of trouble to prove you wrong, hope someone appreciates it.
Well, the "leak" speaks of a continent, and Goria was just a city. Also, Shattrath already exists in the AU, so Goria is long gone by then.
We'd need an alternate alternate universe in which Goria is somehow a different continent, and somehow AAU Yrel and AAU Grom are our allies.
meh whatever
Suramar was sunk, if they want to, they can always pretend it was always there
And what if in the AU it was different?
What if in the AU the Ogres resettled and refounded the kingdom.
Blizzard has always shown they are willing to bend the lore
If that was the case, if they had really abandoned Draenor, then we would not have recruited the Mag'har from Draenor. We would have recruited the Mag'har from our Outland. Remember, that's where we first encountered them, and we even have a friendly relationship with them. I mean that's where we got Garrosh from and supposedly other brown orcs that have come to Orgrimmar.
They specifically wanted us to go back to Draenor and they even expanded on the Draenor story to the point where there's a new potential storyline born out of that Mag'har chain alone.
- - - Updated - - -
It's literally one more year that has passed since then. You make no sense.
Someone hasn't done the Mag'har race quest.
Y'know where Yrel wipes them all out and they have to escape to our Azeroth.
I mean, I do appreciate the effort, but what I said doesn't dispute what you posted. Goria no longer exists because of what you posted. The Gorian Empire might still exist depending on how they handle us murdering everyone in High Maul. I'm assuming it was still around based on some cut naval missions.
Either way, there's no continent of Goria, so you're correct. Either way, I never believed the leak to be correct because our friend Yrel is kinda crazy now and would not be an ally, again, like we both said.
So while being decadent the Ogres picture the Romans having feasts and holding their slaves?
Sounds like a winner!
I don't know man, if being crazy is a disqualifier in joining our factions, you might want to look around a bit. Void Elves are driven insane by the whispers of the Void, we have Goblins, Forsaken, Laughing Skull Orcs, Goblins wearing Laughing Skull masks.
Lilian Voss in WoD was shown to be legit mad, and now she seems alright again.
Also, how do we know that what the Mag'har told us during the chain about the Lightbound and Yrel is the complete truth? I mean think about it, who started the war in WoD? Grom and the Iron Horde. The Mag'har are the remnants of that Iron Horde. I would be very careful with what they tell you.
Then again I always thought the idea of Yrel going crazy was an ass-pull. I mean a little but overzealous, ok, but flat out villain?

Just how long do you think the Legion was invading for then? By your logic, if Grommash went from young to old in the alternate timeline, we should have done the same and be ancient by now. Instead, you don't see any of the lore characters of our timeline age nearly as much. We can safely assume that its been 1 or 2 years. Max. For the entire duration of Legion. Their time flows differently.
Second, Yrel is on a rampage killing anyone who wont convert to the light. The Orcs and Trolls wouldn't convert, and thus, she would want them dead since her entire mission is to convert right bow. The Night Elves would be too since they basically abandoned it.
This leak isn't remotely believable.
By that logic, that would mean that AU essentially had fastforward pressed on their timeline and it flowed at a different pace and then suddenly went back to another one. What would be the explanation for that?
Not only that, but from what they said in game, the ogres were already conquered. The entire planet is dying. Why would we return there even? There is nothing to draw us back to AU. We only went once to get the mag'har to join us, and what was left of them did.
They would have to pull a Huge reason out of their butts to go to a dying planet just to take a land that impacts nothing for us. They would also have to completely throw out the fact that the Ogres were already defeated. Not only that, but give a reason why the new Lightforged don't just stay in our timeline since they are apparently friends with us now, instead of returning to a dying planet that they can't save.
Well i like the theme. And the name ain't really bad at all. But leaks are just meh atm.
