Dead.-
Went missing after not keeping her word about the Doomstone.
Currently undergoing internship with the Venthyr and thus unavailable.
Went missing after BfA.
Currently busy undergoing her third or fourth overexposed character assassination.
Neutral as all hells, and even if, there should be a momentous change for any Pandaren to come into the Horde fold without an apologize being issued properly.
Dead.
Dead.
All dead, and by the players' hand no less.
Dead and its most prized possession removed to secure Horde territory.
While I can see where you're coming from, this list is - for lack of a better term - full of shit.
You want to bring more powerful characters into the fold? Do so, but use good lore characters. Currently there's no way Jaina and Malfurion can have an equal figure Horde side, but let's just try and make this whole thing work.
Orcs - Garona.
With Sylvanas gone and the Orcs in dire straits, Garona is a famed name who fought for the Horde and has a clear cut idea of what the Horde should not be.
This would still give Orcs their combat edge but would turn their upper operations into something more scheming, a finesse the race could use to carve another identity going forward.
Trolls - Rokhan
Rokhan is a great character, and can work alongside Garona from the shadows.
Taurens - Hamuul Runetotem
While keeping ties with the Cenarion Circle, Hamuul should very well find time to get back to Thunder Bluff and rebuild the spirit of his people.
Baine should take a secondary role and some other Tauren characters should be built up. There's a dire need of some more Taurens in the cast as Baine is basically hogging the spotlight but his character is basically broken beyond repair.
Blood Elves - Lor'themar Theron
Lor'themar is amazing, and if you think he's an Alliance lackey you're ignoring his history. Ruthless, smart, good fighter and even better politician. He could be the next Warchief if the role wasn't so cursed.
Goblins - Gazlowe
The Goblin leadership already switched and Gazlowe is the de facto boss. He built Orgrimmar and supposedly scavenged Blackfuse's tech, and has the trust of his peers, however shaky a Goblin's trust can sound.
Forsaken - Lillian Voss
Strong enough to meet your criteria, Voss' arc would need to go into her shyness and need to learn how to rule the ragtag that's the Forsaken who now share her previous confusion about the future. Belmont could be her counselor as the Deathstalker has great experience but has no vision for the future, complimenting each other as the race gets some much needed restauration.
Pandaren - Taran Zhu
Steps up so that no further bullshit is replicated in the future. Squares the Pandarens up, sets the Horde straight in regards to how to properly treat a Pandaren and after a year or so gets the fuck out as his job is done. From there, Ji resumes his duties.
Nightborne - Thalissra
Thalissra, without the Nightwell, is supposedly as strong as Elisande. With Oculeth and Valtrois, the Nightborne triumvirate is a magic powerhouse to be reckoned with.
Mag'hars - Gey'arah
With Garona leading the Orcs, Gey'arah stays as leader of the Mag'har. Her warmongering instincs mitigated by Garona's cunning. The Mag'hars overtake as the main infantry force, with the green Orcs taking to the shadows and the brown Orcs becoming the muscle of the Horde.
Highmountain Taurens - the Highmountain council
Mayla is fine, really, and the council a great concept. No need to touch them as their role is a pretty specific one.
Vulperas - Med'an
Bring the boy into the fold, let him lead the Vulperas who are outcasts as fuck and let the power level go wild because fuck it.
