Horde issues: Blood elves and Tauren

Continuing from the last post where I discussed current status of Garrosh Hellscream, I will now talk about two other Horde races and their current status. They both have enormous lore potential and story-wise I'd love to see more.

2. Blood elves

They had their own expansion, you could say. Burning Crusade storyline is awesome, the whole story of addiction, solutions, dissapointments, betrayals and the ultimate redemtion, that was really nice. The problem is similar to what the Alliance is experiencing with Draenei: nothing is happening. What's the problem? Blood elves have much potential. Personally I would like to see something happening within their hierarchical structures. Prince Kael'thas is no more and Lor'themar is only a regent lord. Blood elves need to sort out their leadership. In other words: They need a king.

Imagine this: A power struggle. Magisters start to arrange that Lor'themar would be properly enthroned to be the new king of Sin'dorei. There might be a more extremist group of magisters, who don't support Lor'themar and his pro-Horde policy, they'd like to see Blood elves independent from everyone else. You know, the basic isolationist thing. They might recieve support from other groups. What do Blood Knights do? And what about Farstriders? A true struggle within Sin'dorei society. That would offer them something to continue with from the climatic ending of BC. What do you think?

3.  Baine Bloodhoof and the Tauren

Baine doesn't like Garrosh. That's understandable. Garrosh killed his father, Cairne, in ritual duel. The death was really an accident that was caused by secretly poisoned blade. The one responsible is actually Magatha Grimtotem, leader of the Tauren Grimtotem tribe. In the Thousand Needles questline Horde players need to do the nasty thing and help Magatha since there no better alternative at that stage. The story culminates in Magatha getting artifact of enormous power. Things are unsettled, Grimtotem are a real threat. The stage is set, but then......nothing happens. That's the problem. That story needs to continue. We are left in the air. We have the Grimtotem threat with what we can't really do anything and we have Baine, leader without proper personality. His character needs to develope. Grimtotem tribe attacking Thunder Bluff? Something, anything!

Two more blog entries with Horde issues remaining. Then it's back to the glorious gold making.
