On top of that, you are suggesting that the orcs will be lead by a non-orc character after the fall of Garrosh, seriously? Do you see any other race in warcraft that is lead by a none representation of there own race as its leader. Gnomes are lead by a gnome, undead are lead by an undead, worgen are lead by worgen, trolls are lead by a troll. What, you think blizzard are going to suddenly be controversial and make it that orcs are the ONLY race in wow that isn't lead by a racial leader who isn't one of there own?
And if lor'themar or any other faction leader in the horde did become the warchief, are you honestly suggesting that the character now has to be in command of the orcs, there own people and the horde in one go? Do you have any idea how contrived that sounds storywise? Do you think orcs will just bend over for an elf warchief, while he still tries to lead his own people.
Face reality please. Each Racial leader of each horde faction is focused on there own people and there own lands. Durotar is orcish land, orgirmmar is the orcish city, You cannot have a non-orc leading it.
