The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!
I make Warcraft 3 Reforged HD custom models and I'm also an HD model reviewer.
I don't think there'll be one. Maybe in the future after developing some stories, but not in the near future I'd assume.
Though this reminds me ... weren't there living relatives of the murdered forsaken from the original Desolate Council in Oribos? Like Ol' Emma? Did they ever do anything with them? Or we're just to assume that they never got to talk to them or get closure on their murders.
Thanks for making this thread, I've took a deep interest into the priest lore and it pushed me to read quite a lot on the night watchers, cult of forgotten shadows, the nature of shadow and void, etc.
These reads just remind me that it's really hard leaving old continents behind after an expansion and that I'm pretty sure Blizzard could write a ton of stories that would involve the many denizens and groups that populate their world.
I'll still hope for an expansion that will update the north of the eastern Kingdoms (Silvermoon-Gilneas-Arathi-Alterac-plaguelands-Tirisfal-etc.)
This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.
Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.
I think the theme that Blizzard is going with is that, while the cosmic forces themselves are not inherently evil (the wielder of their power is or is not), that each one does have a somewhat fundamental, underlying goal/motive/desire to spread its influence and dominate reality.
Well, maybe not dominate reality... but be the singular force in control of the entire universe.
The Void wants to do this by consuming/eating the physical universe (all energy, all magic, all life inside of it) and leave nothing but... well, a void.
The Light wants to spread its "gospel" and have everything in the physical universe follow the path of the Light. "The Light seeks one path and shuns all others as lies."
Order, or at least beings of Order, want to go everywhere where this is life and give it structure and governance. Where they go and find life, instead of just letting it be and see what it does on its own, they kind of force organization and purpose upon them.
Disorder, or at least the demons spawned from the fel, want to kill and sow chaos across the cosmos. It's kind of funny that the only reason why we have a Burning Legion in the first place (not revelation Sargeras' had about the Void Lords) -- and organized faction of demons with a singular purpose -- is because Sargeras is a titan and being of Order. Very scary to see a force of Disorder have a purpose given to them via Order.
Life and Death seem to be the only forces that kind just want to... exist. I suppose the concept of the "Great Cycle" is to allow things to be born, grow, live, and die. Although that didn't stop Zovaal and all of his shenanigans to enact over millions of years of plans to get his way. I wonder if Life has similar vibes.

I'm convinced that if Zovaal could be this worried about an unknown force that the only plan he could form and accept as a solution was to enslave the whole cosmos then Life could very well go crazy and do the same.
The key concept is that every force has its flaw and every disciple of this force is a slave to a goal. What would be interesting is to go back to the high fantasy and have ot shown to us through the lens of a mere mortal and what would actually impact us without making it cataclysmic day one
I can't tell if you're being facetious but no, not really.
Frankly I don't think Arcane and Order ever really meshed well and life and nature are basically the same thing.
Void and Shadow are distinct in my mind because thematically Voidwalkers and the like are distinct from Old god fleshy creations. The emptiness of space is a different kind of psychological horror than the horror of eldritch deities, or the divine-humanism angle shown with the shadow in the RPG and Blizzard doesn't handle any of them well by mingling them.
Twas brillig
The whole idea that the Forsaken is ruled by a council is dumb on its own. I have no idea why Blizzard thought that would be a good take.
