I think both factions are in a state where they have enough forces to keep their towns and bases safe but not enough to participate in another full-scale war. Hence why Lor'themar warns that the horde might break if another attack takes place, that might not be from the Alliance though. And on the Alliance side the situation is not any better, it might be hinting that the two sides are at the moment pretty much spent and cannot wage a sustainable war on one another, without counting random skirmishes on borders and infiltrations.
The Alliance had the upper hand after the battle of Dazal'Alor, and lost a significant portion of the Kul Tiran fleet in the Nazjatar patch, In the end both sides barely had enough forces to mount an assault on Orgrimmar and would've been left in a far worse state were in not for the 1v1 between Sylvanas and Saurfang.
So I think Lorthemar might be right, both the horde and the alliance are spent at this point. And that is fine, I don't think we are going to be using any of their armies during Shadowlands. and with the possible timeskip after the shadowlands I think both factions would be undergoing some interesting changes in terms of borders, manpower and political landscape after we are out of the Shadowlands expansion.

lmao how badly are you in denial bro. blizzard do not write subtlety in any form and would never in a million years waste time having shaw talk with some random character about some other character he might like. that line is 100% about valeera and when they have them hook up in some cringy shit questline i want you to remember this moment and think about how wrong you were
and just lmfao at the idea shaw and flynn would ever be a thing. blizz has carefully avoided putting any meaningful lgbt representation in this game for 15 years now. and they sure as fuck wont start now with 90% of sub money coming from china. still deluded fucking wow fans think for some reason that blizz are just waiting to wow us with lgbt characters. this shit aint overwatch im afraid they arent permitted to take chances. and even most of the western wow fanbase are deeply entrenched in homophobia.
blizz are spineless fucking cowards in all aspects so look forward to 20 more years of badass human males getting elf girlfriends to prove they dont have a case of the gay.
they hated sillag because he told them the truth
Don't mind me, just setting the mood.
Honestly I really enjoyed it. Most WoW stories focus on action, drama, or terror. Even MOP, the designated "silly" expansion, had some of the darkest short stories. it was nice to see Lor'themar and Thalyssra in a poetry slam. I didn't see it coming at all. Very cute.
And because I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet:
I hadn't appreciated how genius that line was. I still prefer to take the boat to Howling Fjord.
Overall I got a good impression from this author, even if this work was quite fluffy. Was this the author that's doing that Shadowlands novel with Sylvanas hunting Bwonsamdi?
Blood Elves were based on a STRONG request from a poll of Asian players where many remarked on the Horde side that they and their girlfriends wanted a non-creepy femme race to play (Source)
wow,i actualy just realised,wow literaly has zero lgbt...IN ''CURRENT YEAR''....granted i know the other side would just reeee at muh agenduh,but seriously,a company that has even talked about how they want players to identify with their characters,and considering the new options in shadowlands to that end...this kinda feels hypocritical to not include,i mean we even got vulpera!! its insane when you think that furries got so much yeeeting material but not one openly gay character?
Pretty harmless fluff. No real complaints, though I do find it funny that Rommath had to send Bob to get laid, confirming once again that he is the best blood elf.
Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.
Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.
I dunno....some of these posters seem awful offended lol.
As for the writer thing. Eh they are all the same "man in fantasy world white knighting about getting the babe, dialing it to 11 and make it an elven babe!"
Or maybe knaak just numbed me to the occasion of men dating women 100s of years older than them lol.

One day I look forward to seeing full grown adults realize that their averse reactions to levity and positive/contemplative expressions of emotion are a cry for therapy.
He says this, yet he's also feeling guilty about being away from Silvermoon for even two days. Kind of silly, unless he was like "Teleport me just out of sight around a mountain from Suramar and send a boat to pick me up so I can approach it the normal way."
