      He probably sees being a father figure to Anduin as being able to make up for his own son’s death. He is able to watch and guide a young man on his path to becoming a wise and powerful king like he never got the chance to do with his own son, and I don’t doubt that Anduin feels something similar to Genn but in reverse given that he lost his father and guide for kingship. They’re both people who lost something trying to help each other grow and become better.

      They were. Its not flatout stated but it is very likely likely the case considering the Forsaken's hatred for Gilneans definitely comes across as very personal.

      Part of the quest line in silverpine has sylvanas resurrecting corpses using those valkyrs.

I mean if she can still resurrect people from before lordrean fell she should've been able to bring back gilneas people who died roughly around the same time.

    Genn's incompetence is his defining characteristic. Even when he does something right, like stopping Sylvanas from enslaving Eyir, its for the wrong reasons.
    I'm willing to bet if there is a time skip following Shadowlands that he'll have pulled something in the Alliance that will lead it into a conflict it can't really stand at that point. I'm thinking either another war against the Horde, which will likely drive the Alliance into a Civil War to prevent it, or just a straight up Civil War.

      @@modarnwarfare2rull Maybe. it’s also possible that if they ignored the scourge threat and never joined the alliance after the battle for mount hyjal, the alliance would have left kalimdor, the night elves would have just genocided the orcs, scared off the darkspear, and allied the Tauren. Their pre WoW power was unmatched. Them and their demigod and dragon allies faced off the legion alone before (minus some time travellers and ignoring the fact it was Azshara’s fault…).
      Non fel infuses Orcs stood no chance against the night elves. Grom and his warsong needed pitlord blood to (temporarily) kill cenarius. It’s a shame that Tyrande has become so pacified. With the night warrior line she should be on par or surpassed even the likes of azshara when powered by n’zoth. Elune is the only good Old god.

      @@Ssyphoned Seeing as Cenarius was dead and the dragons had no reason to help them genocide the Horde which helped defeat the Legion they really wouldn't be able to do that, they wouldn't have allied with the Tauren either because the Tauren had a blood-debt to the Horde that saved them from extinction while the NE's were doing absolutely nothing to help. They really had no way of beating the Horde, especially after they got ravaged by the Legion and the Naga. Elune is in no way shape or form an old god. What are you talking about ? They could've just let the Orcs have some wood lol. They are the second dumbest race in the game after the trolls.

I like not being a hero for a change and am already forsaken so its all good to me. i expect an asspull on Blizz's part to still somehow "redeem" her or make her see the error of her ways at the end of SL.

Sylvanas as a person post-being raised as a banshee doesn't deserve redemption. And even in life she was remarked as vain, unlike her younger brother (I believe the youngest in lore), mother and sisters. Best she could do in my eyes is Revendreth. But knowing how populair Sylvanas is with a certain segment (which Captain Grim constantly mocks in his videos) of our playerbase age wise I'm afraid they will try a redemption. Let her go out the way she was in life and as a banshee, we saw it with Garrosh. In Cata even Alliance could respect him in a strange way. Then Theramore and MoP happend...

      the Forsaken struck out and did terrible things to a world that wants them gone. they continued to experiment on undeath in ways to cure it but also inflict it or outright destroy life through the Blight. as far as i recall Putriss and Varimathras are however the ones who decided to use it on everyone at the Wrathgate. I get what you're saying though. they've burned through alot of characters to turn them into villainous pinata's for us to go clobber. but with a expansion focused on the afterlife i have a hunch we're going to see alot of these characters brought back in one way or another.
