Thoughts on the start of the faction war.
Wondering about why Teldrassil gets burned. It makes little sense for a forsaken led Horde to incite a war on Kalimdor and leave themselves open on the EK for retaliation.
-Teldrassil is retaliation for something else.
-Sylvanas isn’t the instigator, and has to attack the Night Elves in an “eye for an eye” scenario because the rest of the horde demands blood.
-Sylvanas objective is Stormwind, we don’t know why, but attacking Teldrassil first goes against her personal plans.
-Also where the night elves go? Ashenvale?
-Is this all linked to the Nightborne joining the horde with the Highmountain? It’s odd that the two races of the Broken Isles join one side.
-What if the night elves attempt (and maybe succeed) to lay claim on Suramar, which manages to completely put the nightborne on the Horde side? if the Highmountain and Nightborne see this aggression as the reason to join the horde, the burning of teldrassil is the first retaliation on the escalating faction war.
-I do like the idea of the night elves trying to reclaim their ancient holdings on the Broken isles, an attack on Suramar preventive as they see the relationship between nightborne and blood elves grow too close.
Honestly I just want compelling reasons so it’s not all black and white and there is some sort of nuance here, and tbh, the only way i’d be okay with the night elves loosing teldrassil is if they gained control over other places, like their ancestral homes.
