Talanji, in an effort to restore Zandalar, starts conscripting her people to become adherents to the loa so that their powers are restored and convinces all loa that there will be worshippers if they join Zandalar. They approach the faithful and Sethraliss, she wants nothing to do with that, she wants no additional worshippers and much less be forced to fight, so the faithful decline, Zandalar starts presuring them to join and the faithful turn to the rest of the horde races to support their case, the answer is, "you should join", the Vulpera are already part of the horde and turn a blind eye from Zandalari pressure. The faithful turn to the alliance for help now that the war is over, the alliance responds supporting the faithful and against Zandalari pressure, since both factions are spent, rising tensions are no longer an option, so the Zandalari stand down, thankful, the faithless say they will join the alliance, with the condition that Sethraliss will be allowed to rest and recover, and only those willing will fight in whatever conflict they are needed.
Its a tenous pact between the sethrak and the alliance, gives room for development and understanding, perhaps Malfurion could help Sethraliss recover, that will make the sethrak fully into the alliance and create additional story arcs for them.
