Nightborne elves reaction on Burning of Teldrassil.

[Morbidius]

So right after Nightborne elves join Horde, the War of Thorns starts and Teldrassil get burned. So how would Nightborne, who were Kaldorei before Nightwell, react on such an act from their new brothers in arms? Would they stay with the Horde, which exterminated almost all night elves by burning Teldrassil?

Probably "They deserved it, they slept in their dens during important wars, scorned blood elves and were mean to us"

They should be disgusted. They heroically overthrew Grand Magistrix Elisande only to join an even more terrible tyrant shortly after? Thalyssra is a fool.

Thalyssra wants to be a defender of the world, not a conqueror. But does she not realize that Sylvanas' mind is set on domination of all of Kalimdor? You do not achieve such a goal through any other means but conquest.

they wouldnt give a shit, as teldrassil didnt exsist at the point where suramar's shield got put up and got no ties to the tree

It isnt about the tree, its about the thousands of people living in that tree.

Do you miss the part where it's not just a "tree" that was burned, but a large portion of the population living there? It's more of a question whether the Nightborne have any problems with burning trapped civilians alive... Which they probably don't.

The Blood elves fed their ego, and massive ego is pretty much the most defining elven trait. So as long as their ego is fed they will follow.

Its war, and they dont really care for the night elves.

It's not a matter of war anymore, destroying a defenseless city full of civilians and zero actual military is evil.

Pretty much this, right here.

they seperated themselves from the nightelves, just like the hightborne did after the war and went east overseas and became the highelves

[Evaddon]

You do realize Nightborne never lived on Teldrassil right??? They weren't part of the Elves that ventured their. This question is stupid.

They were apart of the Highborne, during the height of the Elven empire(s), they shielded themselves in Suramar. NEVER making it to Teldrassil. They wouldn't care, they were concerned with magic. Not nature. Not the Dream.

[Morbidius]

The war (I mean War of Thorns), which was started by the faction they just joined. Would they be interested in this war considering the fact, that the are recovering after Legion invasion in Suramar. From lore point of view Sylvanas would call Nightborne to join this war campaing. Would they?

So the allied forces during world war 2 are also evil in your opinion? I am referencing the bombing of Dresden here.

War doesn't justify genocide.
Remember how we fought against Garrosh?

[Ponji]

Phase 1: Recruitment
Horde: Hi Nightborne, we hear you have a dictator to overthrow. Want some help?
Nightborne: Duh!
Horde: Okay, let's do this
*Invades Nightborne stronghold, overthrows Elisande with the help of the Horde and Alliance, Tyrande decides to be a c*** to them*
Nightborne: Wow that Tyrande's got some serious issues
Horde: We know. Wanna be friends?
Nightborne: Yeah!

Phase 2: Fitting in
Horde: So we have another stronghold to invade, it's Tyrande's place
Nightborne: Oh that c*** who mouthed off to us while we were liberating our homeland? What's the plan?
Horde: Infiltrate their homeland, take possesion of a place called Teldrassil.
Nightborne: Sounds good, tell us when/where to be!

Phase 3: Adaptation
Horde: So change of plans, we're nuking the world tree and burning it to the ground
Nightborne: Is Tyrande there?
Horde: No way to be sure
Nightborne: Good enough for us.

Ya'll are way too busy overthinking the moral implication of what the writers are writing into the game, just enjoy the damn story and see where it goes ffs. Also, you have no evidence that nearly all nightelves were wiped out in Teldrassil when it was burned. It would take HOURS for the tree to become the firestorm that we see in game. Mages/Druids can easily provide escape out of Darnassus, on top of the pre-existing exits. Hippogryph's would fly survivors to the Exodar and surrounding areas. Your baseless assumptions add nothing to the conversation.

This post is just filled with misinformation already...lol

Only kids believe that in war there is good or evil, War its hell and every man behave at their worst when they must kill or be killed.

The Nightborne just dont care about the hippies who chosed to live on a flammable tree. They believe to be the superior elves like every single other elf society... and peasants got wrecked because they were inferior. Thats the elven way

Where is that? Nightborne are formerly Kaldorei (a.k.a. night elves). And as I wrote earlier, why would Nightborne stay with a faction, who without no purpose nuked homeland of NE, who helped them to get back Suramar?
Besides, Nightborne are recovering after legion invasion, nevertheless from the lore point of view, Sylvanas would call for NB army to join their war campaing. Would the recovering race join new war especially against those, who helped them before?

I saw it coming a mile away. They just enjoy being arrogant assholes way too much. They'd have to actually respect people in the Alliance, and that's a no-no! Can't respect the lesser races.
No, they want to sit on pillows with the Blood Elves and be snarky and act superior as they compare pedicures and hairbrushes.
