Great information!

It calls Goldrinn a Wild Gold, not God

The humans have become the de facto leaders of the Alliance, with their youthful ambitions and resilience.

I was curious about this. I thought the point of the Horde was that all factions had to swear to serve under a Warchief (monarchy-style) but the point of an Alliance was that each nation was independent, but working together. Hence why people are always withdrawing and then rejoining the Alliance (Gilneas, Quel'thalas, etc.). I was working under that assumption from Warcraft 2 up until the "A Little Patience" scenario when Tyrande calls Varian Wrynn the "High King" instead of just plain "King Varian." Tyrande tends to get the short end of the stick for lore writers, but I was wondering if there are other sources for the king of Stormwind being the leader? I'm just curious about when the change happened, or if it was all in my head the entire time. It just seems really weird for an independent culture like the Kal'dorei to randomly go around treating a human like he's the boss of them. It wasn't that long ago Tyrande ordered all of her archers to fire upon the humans and kill them all off in Ashenvale.

Did they patch out Mecha-gnomes? :)
