    If they weren't exiled they wouldn't have found Drathir's research to be able to go down that path. The only reason they found that research was because they went south because they were banished.

    The only "bad" they did was researching the void. Alleria was literally immersed in it. You keep acting like they were performing experiments on the void at the Sunwell. Tell me how someone researching the void quite a ways away with no strict attachment at the time is more dangerous than the original void elf who is able to shift into a void form and has absorbed not just one but two void beings?

    My "speculation" is that they were banished for researching the void. Which is what happened in game. Your speculation is that they were somehow concocting experiments near the Sunwell which is what got them kicked, which is complete BS.

    The reason he went searching for Drathir's research was because their experiments had reached a dead end, not because he was exiled.

    again, it was not "just researching" just "reading papers" or "theorizing", it was something big enough to get then banned even after previous warning

    WE know alleria is "literally immersed" in void, Lorthemar don't know, they only know briefly what happened in argus, they cannot possible have meta lore knowledge to know what she is capable off compared just by being near it compared to people actively doing things.

    Again, you are complaining that they should have meta knowledge of things they could not possible know just theorize, and Rommanth did that, he knew it was bad idea and was against it, but lorthemar with his little knowledge let it anyway because he though it would be fine.

    what we know = what the characters know.

    you simple don't know what the extends of "researching" their "researching" was big and bad enough to get then banished, simple as that.

    .
    His research was opposed by Quel'Thalas's Grand Magister, Rommath, who clashed with Umbric and his followers over their research. Rommath eventually succeeded in demanding they be exiled, reasoning that those who treat with the void pose a direct threat to the Sunwell.
    Rommath didn't like his research and got him exiled. There it is in black and white. The only reason they were down that far South to find the research is because they were exiled.

    Despite their banishment, Umbric and his followers persisted in their research, viewing the Grand Magister's admonitions as small-minded. Umbric would lead his group south, out of Eversong Woods and into the Ghostlands, seeking to prove the validity of their beliefs regarding the void. There, Umbric and the Silvermoon exiles would make a breakthrough upon discovering the long-buried research of the infamous necromancer Dar'Khan Drathir from many years ago.
    If they hadn't been Exiled they would've had no reason to head down to the Ghostlands and wouldn't have stumbled upon Drathir's research.

    So, you think Rommath knew Alleria was immersed in the void and Lor'themar didn't? Not to mention when Rommath is about to object Lor'themar says "whatever she has become" which infers that he knows she's been transformed. You are completely ignorant to the actual facts of this which has been shown numerous times.

    the bad thing they did was delving into dar'khan drathir's teachings and research.

    this guy is the satan of thalassian elves, and they were told specifically not to deal with his research. that's why they were exiled.

    no, he prob had a idea, he didn't knew would happen, but though something would happen.

    He was prob talking about her becoming an alliance lapdog, even if not, they don't know the extends of her transformation , they could not possible know that just her walking by was dangerous enough, Rommanth imagined something but had nothing.

    Simple as that, they don't have meta knowledge.

    rommath probably could sense something off about her.

    the guy is probably one of the greatest living mages.

    So, you're thinking that Rommath wanted to deny her pilgrimage for being an Alliance member now? They were quite obviously talking about her transformation into a void elf. Not to mention that Liadrin was there who knew she was void infused. Sylgrin knew she was void infused. You really think neither of these people would've told Lor'themar or Thalyssra who would then tell Lor'themar about her changing? You're honestly bonkers if you think they would've kept information like that quiet.

    It's not meta-knowledge. It's pretty obvious they knew what happened to her.

    They couldn't be exiled for delving into Drathir's research because they didn't find it until AFTER they were exiled.

    I hope this is not real because it will be another level of stupidity from the writers, seriously fuck off and do another thing and stop writing, you are not good.
    Story is fine, writing is fine. Get off the badwagon.

    they didn't knew the extend of it, no one else saw what rly happened.

    what they find later was his notes, pretty sure @derpkitteh is saying is they were following his footsteps

    this is the level of writing that ALL of bfa has had, this goddamned pure idiocy.

    the picture always looked fake to me, because no water in any bfa cinematic looks like that overly shiny crap in this pic.
    And to think, people actually believe this would get better if the factions merge into Anduin.

    Cause I'd bet Anduin will be the thing we would likely Anduin all Anduin expansion.

    Anduin.

    Remember Argus was a joint Alliance/Horde fight. So whoever saw that knew. Hell, Sylvanas and Vereesa knew before even meeting her and you STILL think Lor'themar is talking about her being a part of the Alliance (which she already was btw, remember, the Blood Elves were originally in the Alliance)

    And no, she didn't say they were following his footsteps. She said they were "delving into his teachings and research" but they didn't have any of that, they were doing their own.

And using the fleet as an argument against this leak makes even less sense because as the picture shows the leak is explicitly about Sylvanas getting a new fleet, likely from Helya given the ship models.
    Where does the Alliance having an inferior fleet come from in the first place? AFAIR, they already had the superior fleet, just not so much better that they would definitely beat the Horde in an engagement. The main purpose of going to KT was keeping it that way.

    from the quests, it seemed that's where they got their idea of void research in the first place.

    all in all though, it's bad writing in general. there's no reason that rommath would have banned void study, moving their study to the undercity would have been what rommath would actually do. but this is modern blizzard writing we're dealing with here, precedent, character personalities, none of this matters. the only thing that matters is what story they want to tell in the specific moment. they lack any ability to care for the wider contextual elements.

    Until they found the notes Umbric was under the belief they were the original of their people studying the void.
    It seems we are not the first of our people seeking to harness the powers of the void. I have found notebooks belonging to one whose very name is a curse... Dar'Khan Drathir.

    The Horde has superior everything. Just look at any topic on here.

    Horde has superior ground troops, regardless of anything else.

    Horde has superior navies, regardless of Kul Tiras.

    Horde has superior technology, because Goblins.

    Horde has superior magic users, because blood elves and nightborne.

    Horde has superior druids, because Tauren(?)

    Orcs has superior knowledge of war, regardless of Night Elves and Draenei waging war since literally before Orcs even existed.

    The Horde is just axiomatically better at everything, don't you know?

    We'll know if it's right when they "release the comic that explains it" in October. Although the leak doesn't make sense at some points like when he's describing the Stormwind Raid.

    He says the first bit is a caravan/battering ram bit with goblin/gnomes means H/A working together.

    Then next bit is dealing with some Old God baddies because they're trying to get us to stop reaching Sylvanas??? Despite the Void seeing her as an enemy?

    All of the Horde leaders rejoin Sylvanas? Because out of nowhere unexplained and abruptly the Lich King is now on the Alliance side, what?

    Then we're all supposed to die to be ready for the "true Battle of Azeroth" which is what even? If the Old Gods are aiding Sylvanas during the SW raid then who's the actual enemy in the end if not Old Gods?

    Forsaken NPCs "Death is the only way!" Only way for what - to beat N'Zoth.

    Sylvanas knows what's up. Death will be a huge theme for 9.0, LK 2.0 = big on popularity like Legion which was uber successful. I've been saying along with ohters the only way to beat the old gods is to die. Sylvanas has no problem killing innocent Nelves in the tree, not because she was reckless, but because she knows everyone has to die anyway.

    Dragon Isles is a given. If you look up the history of the dragonflights / dragon isles, always was tied to Old Gods. Titans using the dragonflights and aspects as a defense vs old gods.

    Also = SoO ended with Alliance getting HWL armor

    We need Horde attacking Stormwind to get Grand Marshal Armor, and potentially a Lion mount. Quote that.


    Stormwind badly needs updating.
    Yup sorry people but I am going with this. Good points and after WoD I can see something like this happen. During the Garrosh fight, why was it in Stormwind harbor out of all places? Because it was the end of your life. Smart and just makes sense. LOL @ people bitching about it. these people couldn't DEV a game or write a story worth shit. I think the last fight sounds cool and its new.
