Comment by Iceman33172/3 is Neutral which is more than a small part. And once again you've completely missed the Spaniard Interview in which a Dev says the destroyed half will be where the Alliance will be stationed, as well as where the Dead Scar is and Murder Row. The title may be spanish, but the interview is english.Comment by AerandalNo mention of the tidbits that were dropped during the Blood Knight questline in Shadowlands?Comment by AlittanNo mention of the tidbits that were dropped during the Blood Knight questline in Shadowlands?Comment by ErilihnYou already know I'm SAT for the Lightbloom stuff. I think it's our "in" for the blood elf druid stuff they've been teasing these past few days. I'm 95% certain it'll be connected to Thas'alah. My bet is: The blood elves, in their newfound faith, put this mysterious "Dawnwell" (some miniature Sunwell perhaps?) down in Deatholme. Without them realizing, the Light magic seeped down through Thas'alah's roots into Harandar, where it had a dangerous reaction with the magic down there, causing the Lightbloom. And now it's spreading back up through Thas'alah's roots and causing chaos. I'm just really excited for any Thas'alah mention at all, but I'm even more excited at the prospect that this might confirm Thas'alah as an actual certified world tree.Comment by AlittanYou already know I'm SAT for the Lightbloom stuff.

While the Silver Covenant and the night elves under Vereesa and Tyrande both contributed to the cause, it was Liadrin and the blood elves that truly bonded with the Nightborne amidst their fight, relating to their struggle with addiction and the turmoil of seeing your nation lost to the Legion.

In the wake of the Legion invasion, the Nightborne would find themselves in a position to welcome the world to their doorstep rather than shield themselves, and in typical Azerothian fashion, that meant allying with a faction. With the bond they had formed with the blood elves and the cold nature of Tyrande's treatment of their plight, the choice to join the Horde was a simple one, but amidst their induction, they would come across a returning face: Alleria Windrunner.

wtf is this millenial writing with buzzwordsComment by PleegWatI'm pretty sure this is wrong regarding the destruction of the runestones. They were never mentioned in WC3, and as I recall at least five were removed during the Second War and used to build the Altar of Storms.Comment by WruktarrI hate those Horde banners on remade Silvermoon, they should have used their original banner but remade in higher resolution or slightly changed, like these: Silvermoon Gate.Comment by Vazterialspellcheck anyone ?Comment by AlkaizerBelieving the city's stance of neutrality worth defending in the face of an ongoing attack by the Horde's newly appointing Warchief Garrosh Hellscream, Dalaran came to the aid of its leader Jaina Proudmoore, a member of the Kirin Tor herself and a fierce advocate for peace.
