Well, is true that the horde only allies with the forsaken cause they need them, but remenber that, that was the reason they joined the horde in classic wow, so it can change... how? they can leave the horde or they can become part of the "family"
Also, i'm not saying that any of the alliance races (factions) would join the forsaken, i'm saying that other factions (yeah those third party faction that we kill every now and then) could join the forsakens
Well, if the rest of the Horde could be endangered by a threat of "final purge" because of Sylvanas not obeying orders, the other Horde leaders wouldn't think twice to point their fingers on her, causing Sylvanas and her Forsaken the only faction to be "ended". Sylvanas has more than a reason to be quite more careful now compared to Cataclysm.
Yeah you're right, we have seen some Forsaken go against her (betray her), look at Putress
Is true that she doesn't have honor, but in the end, i don't think her ways are bad..., is true that her ways are honorless but is a better way to lose less people..., also is true that she may become a new villain just like Garrosh did, but is not like is something that WILL happen... (is just a possibility)Sylvanas has no concept of honour and the Horde now have the biggest liability ever stuck in their ranks with a threat of annihilation hovering over their heads from the Alliance. Being tough on Sylvanas is going to have to be matter of fact unless she's going to end up like Garrosh.

what was retconned?
Yeah i know, Putress was just a mere example :S
Yeah, she was losing people because of what you said, but that doesn't change the fact that her ways are more "safe" for her people, also i don't agree with the statement that Sylvanas is doing the same as the Lich King, cause after she rez anyone and after they recover theirself, they got the ultimatum join us, or go back to the grave (Well... if you don't want to be what you are now..., just die again) also she's not pushing anyone to do things against their own willShe was only losing her people because she was mired in destructive wars she couldn't win. What she was doing is the same thing the Forsaken hated the Lich King for. More Lillian Voss types rising up against Sylvanas wanting to rip her to shreds is the only conclusion if these new undead actually have free will.
Yeah, is true that it was pointed out by Blizz that the new warchief was going to be very tough on her, but that doesn't mean that she will become a future villain, that does imply that there will be some conflicts between her and the rest of the horde, but it doesn't mean that someone have to end being killedMetzen or someone in dev said the new Warchief was going to be very tough on Sylvanas. Lor'themar already hinted at her being a problem and Sylvanas herself wants to push her luck. The one good thing Garrosh did as Warchief was curb her psychopathic tendencies (before developing his own). Hopefully Vol'jin will be no slouch as they said. I think it'd be too soon to remove another leader in the next expansion but Sylvanas is in the riflescope, whether she ends up directly in the crosshairs will be seen.
Naaaah. It would feel hollow and forced given Theron's personal aversion to it and the revised In the Shadow of the Sun. Theron holding onto Kael's last decree (that Anasterian would be their last true monarch) is one of his endearing qualities IMO; it's a subtle reminder of how respectful and noble the prince was before turning to the Legion. Electing a new king would rob Lor'themar of that, and it's just... not really needed.
Though he does need to come up with a... contingency plan... if he ever gets assassinated.
Well, I mean the event of his death in general. A regency doesn't have a clear line of succession, and Theron has no known family left anyway; if he had a stroke and died in his office, he'd have no clear successor. That's a problem in a kingdom which is kind of in the middle of an interregnum, with no king but also no established republic or grand ruling council (Halduron and Rommath might come close, but they're not equals to him; I imagine they'd probably fight for power too) or anything. He should fix that.
both blood elves and the forsaken are allied witht he horde cause they need the horde's protection, and I am pretty sure the blood elves really hates the undead for what arthas did back in wc3, we might see a was between the blood elves and the forsaken.
The Blood Elves don't hate the Forsaken, in fact, the Forsaken are the biggest allies of the Blood elves in the horde, remenber that Sylvanas, the ranger general of the Blood Elves is the leader of the Forsaken, also there are many Undead elves that form part of the forsakens

Well, Sylvanas won't try to kill him, i think she will check if he's worthy of being her warchief
Maybe, but Vol'jin has a history of having a very solid head on his shoulders and is more than willing to set aside grudges to propose a coalition for a greater goal, almost in total opposition of Garrosh who consistently urged the Horde to war with the Alliance since he ascended to the throne and who grew increasingly unstable during his reign.
In many ways, Thrall might be repeating history but Vol'jin learned from Thrall's mistake.
Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!
Since nobody quoted the alliance leaders... the only one saying something interesting is Tyrande. She says that Varian asked her to pact with the horde leaving ashenvale alone in exchange of letting the horde get the wood from azshara.
Jaina says kill them all, anduin that imprision camps are bad, the dwarf blabla, the gnome "lets steal the technology and run".
Varian should have bladestormed the horde in there, that much is clear. Ashenvale should have been cleansed with arrows, not pacted.
Even more when you read Vol'jin books and you see how he changed, how he worked together with a human, something that he himself in the past saw as impossible, they became friends, but even there he stated that HE will kill Garrosh, and that his human companion said that he will be the one who will made the arrows that will pierce Garrosh hearth

Isn't his way better? i mean, Varian mentioned what would have happened if they figthed the horde, they would have spend a lot of time and a lot of resources to beat the lastest force of the horde and even after that... what?... what will they do? Kill them all? if not.... how will they rule them without having another concentrated camp like they did in the past?
Orcs have a home planet. Goblins can stay neutrals, undead get back to the graves, blood elves keep their lands, trolls and taurens go back to graze. Warcraft zero.
