Cristian and Erik, I agree with you that we need to take a look at the other races. My plan is to take a look at each race separately then finish off by discussing the factions as a whole.

Dangablad, good call on Tyrande, I should have mentioned her. I agree, as a priest Tyrande is staying in Darnassus as a counter to Fandral.

If Metzen and crew wanted to keep things mellow then yes, the coup you describe is definitely a possibility. Personally though, I think the story is at a point where we’re ramping up for war again. The Horde and Alliance are cleaving through so much content, I think the next “shift” will be for them to not have anything left to fight but each other (for awhile).

I also don’t see Malfurion and Tyrande wanting Darnassus. It’s the false world tree, and to them an abomination. If the tree were placed in their control I could easily see them sinking it into the sea. Remember Nordrassil is still alive, just burned.

Heck, I’m going to give Tyrande her own post.

There is one faction that I feel your theorycraft forgets to take into account, which is usually the way it is when the politicians fight.

Religion. In the case of the night elves, this is embodied by Tyrande Whisperwind and the Temple of the Moon.

Tyrande has a great amount of control over Darnassus, and is also against Staghelm and his followers (I love listening to them go on about each other)

Staghelm has to know that, if something were to start, Tyrande and most of the priesthood would most likely side with Malfurion and the Cenarion Circle. That would leave him with a very tenuous hold on Darnassus, if he even had one at all.

If and when ‘Furion returns, I see less of a civil war and more of a coup d’etat resulting, removing Staghelm and his followers from Darnassus. This could create an off-shoot of night-elves, much like the Dwarf off-shoots (would they look like the Dark Irons or the Wildhammer is a completely different story)

On another note, kudos on the immersion through acknowledgement theory. It would mean a lot to gameplay. (I always love walking into Stormwind and having that character tell me someone in the castle wants to talk to me)

While I do agree that it will snowball out, we have to take into account the other major players, such as the Forsaken. We know they are up to something, so I wouldn’t necessarily count them in to whatever the horde goes to war with, unless it serves their purpose.

Hey! Great site I was waiting for a place like this to comment lore.

On your post, I do believe the elves are in a difficult situation since they major leaders are not in this physical world and things are getting worse now that the blood elves (and the magic they consume) are in the scene, let’s not forget NE and BE where the same people until the war of the ancients when NE decided to stop consuming magic while BE denied this idea.

We will just have to wait until blizzard release emerald dream (hopefully) and see what are the implication of this.
