Point you missed with the goblin starting zone: when Thrall was attacked, he was on his way to the Maelstrom on Earthen Ring business, not as a member of the Horde. It's the equivalent of if the Horde used Malfurion's efforts against the Firelands as a good opportunity for an assassination.
@ThatAnimeGuy Garrosh was instructed to lead the Horde until, Thrall returned. He was first given the full mantle and permanent position. After, the goblin hero delivers Thrall's message making him the actual warchief. Thrall was still Warchief when the SI:7 attacked him, but he was on his way with to the Earthern Ring, to save the world from falling into deep holm. So, indeed Stormwind tried to end the world.
Thrall has been the Warchief of the Horde for years, more than a decade up to that point, and suddenly because he says "Guys I'm with this neutral faction now, promise" everyone is supposed to believe it? It's like if we caught Sylvanas now and she was like "Yeah, I did all those horrible things but I JUST changed to be the leader of this orphanage, so now I have complete immunity from everything I've ever done, byeeeee"
@Gabeslogic Uther tried to stop Arthas, Muradin tried to stop Arthas, Therenas was killed by Arthas , Ner’Zhul basically “made” Arthas - but somehow its Alliance fault.
During shadowlands we hear that Arthas did not know what he was doing. The jailor controlled him and gave him the ilusion that he would do everything in the name of the good. Nerzuls soul was just a crafting material to make the armor and frostmourne. Maybe he controled also a small part of arthas but the jailor did the biggest part.
Jaina: "Glad you could make it, Councillors." Council of Six: "Watch your tone with us, girl. You may be Kirin Tor's new leader, but we're still your superiors as your elders." Jaina: "As if I could forget. Listen, Councillors, there's something about blood elves you should know." Jaina: "Oh no, we're too late. The blood elves have already spread across the city. They may look fine now, but it's only a matter of time before they betray us to the Horde." Council of Six: "What!?" Jaina: "The entire blood elves must be purged from this city!" Council of Six: "How can you even consider that!? There's got to be some other way!" Jaina: "Damn it, Councillors! As your leader I order you to purge the blood elves!" Council of Six: "You are not our better yet, girl! Nor would we obey that command even if you were!" Jaina: "Then I must consider this an act of treason." Council of Six: "TREASON!? Have you lost your mind, Lady Proudmoore!?" Jaina: "Have I? Councillors, but my right as the leader of Kirin Tor, I hereby relieve you of your command and suspend your mages from service." Vereesa: "Jaina, you can't just...!" Jaina: "It's done! Those of you who have the will to save Dalaran, follow me! The rest of you, get out of my sight!" Council of Six: "You've just crossed a terrible threshold, Lady Proudmoore." Jaina: "Vereesa...." Vereesa: "Alright, Jaina. My Silver Covenant will help you do this."
"Now when it comes to things that the horde has done bad, there's a couple of expansions whose sole focus is that" Ouch. That's... Fair, but really hurts.
Dangerous Second account to be faaaaair, the Horde was led by Garrosh and Sylvanas and ultimately followed the orders. I few genocides later the Horde only has the blood of a few million people ie Darnassus, Ashenvale, Gilneas, Southshore and Hillsbrad, Pyrewood and Ambermill, the Pandaren who didn’t obey, Theramore etc.
In Vanilla, the Scarlet Crusade actually even has an emissary in Stormwind Cathedral. Which is kinda funny when you think about it. In reality in Vanilla the Alliance has no reason to be hostile to the Scarlet Crusade.
in desolace there is a quest where the alliance player character impresses a SC emissary enough to be invited to the monastery, problem that your invitation is burned by a Paladin who betrays the SC
@@arthursalustino Well, the Scarlet Crusade was more a case of, "We know that you do bad stuff, but we will look in the other direction." The Alliance simply had no reason to go after the Crusade, because in the end they kept the Scourge and other undead in check essentially making sure that they were able to fully march southwards against for example Southshore. And at least you CAN negotiate with the Crusade on some level (Marjhan and other crusaders helped with the attack on Naxxramas after all), but most undead are completely mindless.
@@CecilyThanador They were also in the depths of undead controlled land. No real way to help them, even if they wanted to. At that point, the alliance never wanted a fullscale war with the horde, which would have happend in that case.
that's right, most of the alliance members (for example jaina and uther) absolutely didn't want to follow his purge. only soldiers loyal to arthas went with him into lordaeron. arthas was taught the way of light, pride and justice by the alliance and by his father. the alliance is clearly not a fault for his downfall.
Silithus, Stormheim & the Undead emissary incident are all spot-on. Camp Taurajo was a millitary target during wartime that allowed civillians to escape. That is how you fight wars correctly. While the Purge of Dalaran was an overreaction, comparing the sunreavers actively assisting in a major War Crime to Dalaran aiding the defense - and only the defense - of a city that stood for peace throughout its entire existence is laughable. The trees of Ashenvale are sacred to the Night Elves, so it is beyond me why retaliation is even considered in a video like this. You can't harvest the Azeroth Equivalent of a UNESCO world heritage site and be salty when its protectors fight back.
Lehmannation plus stealing lumber from another nation is also a crime. It would be as if UK invaded Norway and started drilling their oil and then get mad when Norway kicked them out.
Am I the only one who feels really sad when I hear mentions of Yrel becoming a Light Supremacist? She was friendly and determined all through WoD. It kind of makes me wish they hadn't written that storyline.
Would be interesting to see what freeing someone from the Light's grasp would entail, if even possible-- just like how we're beginning to see that void corruption isn't necessarily absolute as it seems as well.
This is WoW. It's in-game lore is basically a set of anime-like confrontations with immediate emotions for players from the both sides. Being coherent is one of the last things it's aimed at.

I'm surprised Varian's mission to assassinate Moira Bronzebeard wasn't listed. Sure it didn't result in Moira's death, but that was still a very "awkward" thing where Stormwind was deciding how other nations should handle their shit... SI:7 hit squad to handle Ironforge politics (without being requested I might add).
1. Elves fiddle with arcane magic 2. arcane magic gets the attention of Sargeras and his Burning Legion 3. burning legion attempts invasion and creates arthas 4. arthas creates sylvanas 5. sylvanas burns down a tree 6. ??? profit
Which one do you mean? USA, Russia, Israel, UK, numerous sub-saharan counties, India, China, numerous Arab countries, Pakistan, Japan... etc.? Everyone has the attitude that they are right at the end, and can pretend to do the right thing. Although aome are more honest about their true motives than others.
VladTutushkin literally held orcs as slaves and in camps, treated them like animals. Even if some orcs attacked the alliance that was still messed up. Ever heard thrall’s life story?
@@knogne5073 It was either that or wipe them out completely calmer heads (Proudmoore) prevailed. Say what you want about the camps but the way I see it until proven to be civil keeping them under close watch was the smartest decision, Enemies close and all that
K Nogne and as others mentioned alternative was to kill them all. And just so you know - those humans who came up with camps idea - lordaeronians are now in the Horde as forsaken. And high elfs wanted to just kill all orcs and now they also in the horde as blood elfs so go and bitch as them , not at people of stormwind who actually had no say in that issue.
In wich they simply replied by slaughterin the orcs without telling them what they even did wrong they came crashing along with a fucking demigod to wipe them out. If Tyrande didn´t have her starwberry weeks 24/7 all year round she would have at least said "hey dudes thats holy ground you are on if you want some trees i got some druids that can help you grow them fast but you got to stay out of here" but nope Demigod nuke it is just for some people trying to get wood to have a roof above their head
Yeah they took role of ogres, as constructors of battle ships and war vehicles. Also they are perfect counterpart of gnomes with all this technology stuff!
A point you missed though is depending on which side you play on BoD it shows you a different motive for the battle with Rastakhan. Alliance who saw the actual event saw Genn asking Rastakhan to surrender, he refuses and then we have to kill him. your video makes it sound like the alliance's original intent was to kill him. It wasnt. The Horde however gets told a very different conversation, embellished to make it looked like killing him was the original intent. I found this change of context rather creative.
W8 the intent was "to drive a wedge between the zandalari and the horde".And since when did intention matter?The horde intention in the water for thorns was to drive a wedge between the members of the alliance.i mean yes it had something called as utter stupidity and alliance plan had only stupidity.but if that is a justification then isn't the fourth war justified?
@@MrVlad12340 Neither did the Horde, technically. The plan was to capture the world tree. (Capture the troll king) Holding its people hostage and make it harder for the alliance to act. (Taking a Hostage sounds familiar? Talanji) the events are pretty mirrored with the exceptions of the Horde never making landfall on the world tree and instead destroyed it, with the rulers fleeing. While the Alliance made Landfall, demanded the King to Surrender and he stood his ground. I mean if the writers had not been trying to milk BFA with pointless Horde drama, then Sylvanas would already had lost the Horde after burning the Tree. the War of Thorns was planned as an Honorable war, lead by Saurfang. To grant her credit.
What was told to Rastakan doesn't matter in the slightest. He was raided in his home, his fleet decimated and his people killed. He would defend himself no matter what. If the Alliance intention was just to cripple the Horde and Zandalari by destroying the fleet... they didn't have to raid the city at all. They could have just pushed the button to explode all the ships (which they did)... and then just sailed off. Done. No need to remove the leader. Maybe he would join the Horde, maybe he wouldn't. He didn't have the fleet at that point, so it didn't really matter. For the Alliance, it made little difference if it was Rastakan personally or his daughter Talanji leading the Zandalari. It never really held any strategic significance to the Alliance in terms of preventing the war.
"The night elves didn't want the orcs chopping trees" I literally don't see what's wrong with this at all, it's their territory, their "sacred" forests. What are they supposed to do, tell them not to?
Valithor they CHOSE the shitty desert to live in. They could have relocated to more fertile lands like Mulgore or even to Ungoro Crater which is choke full of plants and has no sentient life. Also, they signed up a treaty that gave them Azshara in exchange for no longer going into Ashenvale. Which they broke btw.
@Valithor they never asked to borrow lumber or land. Even after treaties were established, The Orcs just keep taking without acknowledgment. Even though they were Invaders and slaves, the orcs rarely learn. There's only one way to deal with invaders who dont respect your way of life.
@@AdmiralButtercrust94 To be SORTA fair, they have the whole "destroy nature" thing basically coded into them. They descended from a long line of Breakers that starts with Grond, a massive elemental giant created by titan Aggramar to combat the Evergrowth, a hivemind of all the plantlife on Draenor. The orcs are descendants of a construct that was DESIGNED to destroy nature. So like many of Azeroth's problems, it comes down to titans' surprising incompetence.
@Dean Robin I would like to see it as well and I am playing on both sides and consider the Faction war dumb at this stage (depose Sylvanas now and finally give us the option to form guilds accross the faction line and play and raid together!)...I have no problem with most Horde races, except one: The Orcs! Who are dishonorable alien conquerors who should IMHO go back to Outland (Nagrand is habitable!) or even the new alternate Draenor!) :)
Maluthor and Garrosh. And Gul’dan. And Nerzhul. And those morons that kept attacking night elfs back in Vanilla. And every second forsaken... list goes on.
That was such nonsense, why are there night elves skulking around eversong? There was no pre existing rivalry there, my guess is it was just game designers making quests and wanted horde elves to fight alliance elves.
@@NetherCrafterSMC It was 10.000 years ago and the night elves let the blood elves go their own way. When Malfurion and Tyrande meet the blood elves 10.000 years later theres no tension or hate towards the blood elves, they help each other.
So, I was watching this guy do 10 hours of island expeditions (he is horde) because I haven't played horde side and I wanted to see how our island nps talked etc.., one of the gnomes was like "If you don't succeed I'll shoot you myself!" or something like that. Savage. Gnomes are savage. Haha
something else about the purge... Jaina was a member of the Council of Six.... yes she was given a certain degree of authority to run Dalaran, but not to the degree that she acted in the purge where she could act as judge/jury/executioner and altering the face of Dalaran without the other council members' say.
are you just going to leave out the fact that Sylvanas killed Genn's son? attacked and blighted the whole city of Gilneas? I don't think Genn needed additional provocation to seek her demise.
Sylvanas never blighted Gilneas, and evening if she had, none of what you claimed justifies Greymane’s attempts to conduct a complete genocide of the Forsaken. He also violated the peace treaty when he attacked the Horde fleet in Stormheim without any provocation or cause to do so.
@Bleeding Eye Watcher you missed the part where she used the plague despite Garroshe’s orders which led to Gilneas becoming uninhabitable for a long time? We dont even know how inhabitable it is now. And no, breaking the lamp is not a genocide. Forsaken are not even a race - they are afflicted members of human and some other races. Its like saying that lepergnomes are a race and not just irradiated and insane gnomes.
@teslagod2003 are you simple? Horde attacked Alliance during WoD on Ashran, initiating the PvP stuff there lorewise. Alliance didnt used that as a justification for a full blown war. Plus Gilneas was neutral back then and fell under a massive attack that was completely unprovoked. Comparing that to a battle between Genn and Sylvanas which btw revealed that banshee was again up to no good is laughable and does not justify anything horde did. Alliance was never bigoted or racist or warmongering. If anything they act like too much forgiving SJWs and keep appeasing the horde , at least thats what high king always does.
Well, the Horde only invaded Azeroth and slaughtered some humans and killed her brother and father. And despite all that, she still saved Garrosh's father Grom and most importantly giving Grom a chance to free the entire Orc race from Mannaroth's demon corruption, she only got her entire city nuked by the very Orcs she helped to save who then celebrated in Orgrimmar after. No biggy!
And then she told that next horde will nuke Teldrassil and people laughed at her. And then horde nuked Teldrassil and celebrated in Orgrimmar again. But horde is innocent! Its just whole races keep falling on those genocides horde leaves lying around!
@@damackabet.4611 Exactly, she sacrificed her own father because she thought it was the right thing to do. Because she trusted the Horde and wanted to let them have a home. Then she got repaid with a nuke.
You do realise that the horde have a quest were we must save pandaren that don't want to be part of the war because the alliance force them to build a military base and they also make child work AND they don't even gave them anything to drink. the alliance even have quest were they torture people ! the horde as done some mistakes under the influence of some bad people but at least most of them get punished for it and at least half of the worst "accidents" are made because the alliance have made some horrible things. People of the alliance show themselves as model of purity but in truth they do atrocity worse than the horde but never admit it.
@@nigoulenoblehiboux9812 For a bunch of honorable individuals I sure saw a lot of civillians impaled to walls with pitchforks in Stormsong Valley :l My list goes on here also >_
Because she was with the prophet, who by that point had led the Zandalri trolls in multiple incursions and uprisings across the planet, making him at least an enemy of the Alliance.
Orcs are pure souls man, they didn't do ANYTHING wrong, it was the demon blood. Now ignore the expansion where we see an alternate Horde that never had the blood and still does the same shit.
Xathian or the expansions where Horde followed Garrosh... and then followed Sylvanas into the same exact fucken war for the same reason and didnt even questioned what they were doing till the very end.
Ignore the fact that the alliance went out of their way to prevent civilian casualties during the sack of Taurajo. and during that same expansion the horde razed southshore to the ground (killing or enslaving every alliance individual they could find, regardless of if they were civilians) and they sacked Silverwind refuge, Also intentionally killing civilians. Yet once again, the horde tries taking the moral high ground and saying we're the bad guys.
That thing was a huge fail on the Alliance side. We thought that we were being all nice, sparing the citizens, but instead we accidentally sent them into Quillboar territory where they all died.
killing the Forsaken emissaries actually makes sense. It's sad and was a decision motivated purely by blind fear and hate but it did make sense. Keep in mind Lordaeron, one of the greatest human Kingdoms, had just gotten obliterated by the undead in what could basically be described as an apocalypse. This would have freaked out everyone left in the alliance and undead were already seen evil creatures *prior* to the scourge. Couple that with the fact that one of the big tools used by the Scourge to weaken Lordaeron was a plague that created undead and it honestly makes perfect sense why they panicked and killed every Forsaken who showed up. "OH GOD IT'S AN UNDEAD HERE TO SPREAD PLAGUE!!! KILL IT!!!". So entirely understandable.
Scarlet Crusade should be an offshoot of Alliance criminals (which they are) following their bigotry to the conclusion. On the same note the Horde had its own sect of fanatic infiltrators trying to subvert what the Horde stood for, the Burning Blade. Vanilla would've been much more interesting if he stories wound around the Horde throwing the Crusade in the Alliance's face at the same time as the Alliance threw the Burning Blade in the Horde's face. That would make the thin peace Thrall and Jaina cooked at the end of Warcraft III crumble organically. Instead, what we got is the Burning Blade stories never really paying off, and the Alliance never really being forced to confront what the Crusaders did in the Plaguelands.
@@MrVlad12340 The Scarlet Crusade was formed from the remnants of the Knights of the Silver Hand and gathered citizens from all member states of the old Alliance of Lordaeron. Yes, that includes citizens of Stormwind. The Alliance itself did not directly associate itself with the Crusade, but theye were not openly hostile either. In fact, quite the opposite. The Catheddral of Light in Stormwind held a Crusade ambassador, Brother Crowley, who directed adventurers to do the Crusade's work on Desolace. So Stormwind tolerated the Crusade until it was revealed they wewre under the influence of the Dreadlords. But they were corrupt before that - since the death of the Ashbringer, they have been sliding down the ramp of zealotry and bigotry, and that's why the Argent Dawn left their ranks. But the Alliance was still supportive of the Crusade, and only didn't associate further with them because they had little presence in northern Lordaeron, where the Horde was stronger.
@@moscanaveia not true. Alliance stopped associating with them after Hero goes to Desolace and then to Lordaeron and finds out about Scralett zealotry, Dreadlord infiltration was only found out later.
Lot of people talking about alliance "killing" Vulpera during the Vol'dun assault. I'm wondering if people actually do them because you don't kill them at all, you scare them off with a special totem. The person who gives you the quest even says "The Vulpera are not our enemy, but we cannot allow them to transport supplies for the Horde." And that's all we burn is Horde supplies, not their homes or them.
Because if made kinda an uproar on the PTR at the time. Thats still in the heads of people to "blame" the alliance for bad or cruel actions against...ehm..horde? or..people
The vulpera weren't with the horde at the time. Same with zandalari. They killed people who had nothing to do with the conflict simply for trading with the horde.
They don't have homes.Those "supplies" you burnt was all they ever had.ever.the Vulpera are nomads but let me point out that there was some reference to the gilneans having done something to them
@@MrVlad12340 that was horde.dont remember Zandalari there fairly..........Only orcs that jaina one shoted.and it was rexxar who led the attacks with Lillian...
I don't think so, to be honest. Many people, for some reason, put the bad things Gul'dan's Horde did to the Thrall's Horde.... He probably should've made a different name lol.
i really would like to watch a video from him about this topic, if he didnt make it before (but i think he didnt). in my opinion, there's "good" and "bad" in both of them so i'm really curious
@@JustAChinesePleb Because they followed him, Saurfang was the one who quite literally wiped out entire population of Stormwind. Half of the people who have been part of first horde is still in Horde. Horde has pages and pages of warcrimes both before and after the first horde.
i wish the alliance was as bad as the horde and actually destroyed cities and genocided the horde in mass. oh well. we still to do a lot of catch up before being as bad as them.
Fun thing to consider... we're viewing this from a modernistic, "western" universalist point, that exists for like 60ish years. As well as the fact that we're looking from a human point, not orc or elf one. In reality all races/factions will have a drastically different views on what's right or not. Just think about the lifespans and therefore different reproductive strategies. Think about intelligence, faith, relation to elements, nature etc.
@@BaltisLV well, yes the story is in fact written by humans, for humans of the 21st century it'd be pretty stupid to consider it from a savage troll tribes perspective as we are, in fact, not trolls. same goes from the draenei or any race i get what you're trying to say but it should be self evident
@@joshlyman7059 It is evident that the story is this way in current Warcraft. However there's absolutely nothing stupid about considering it from a more detailed, or dare I say, interesting perspective. It has been done in fantasy before, just takes alot more writing. Even modern fantasy like Warhammer or 40k tries doing so (quite decently I'd say). I'm not saying Warcraft completely lacks it, but it could be improved a bit more.
@@BaltisLV zes u can try but any writing and any reasoning about it would still be done by a human who lives in a human society, we cans study other cultures but we cant not see it through our lens which was my point, WoW is both written, made and played by humans
@himrumaredx Your horde bias is showing, you know you are playing the evil faciton, stop trying to sugar coat your waifu Lilian or Sylvanas, Is apparent and sad.
TheStargateNerd though Alliance commits far less atrocities. Horde like, leagues ahead in the dimension of rape camps for draenei and human experimentation and genocide.
11:55 You forgot to mention that she killed the Alliance forces that help her take the capital city. I think that would have been a pretty big deal to not trust the Forsaken by the Alliance at the time. 5:56 There is a quest in Aszuna called "Fate of the Queen's Reprisal" that if done by the Alliance gives intel about Sylvannas motivations in that zone. So it wouldnt have been a blind attack by Genn as if he could have had knowledge that Sylvannas wasn´t going to the Broken Islands to aid the war effort against the Legion. Though is hard to tell since, as I recall, there is no canon order by a lore stranpoint in which the zones have to be done.
1. Jaina acting stupid and violently on her own out of revenge does not mean the Alliance had anything to do with it. You said it yourself, Veryan got really mad at her and knew nothing. Don't incriminate a whole faction because of the actions of one individual. 2. War is war, what do you mean attacked for no reason? These are factions AT WAR and you said it yourself that it was a military target and they didn't know about the quillboars. They did try to spare civilians. Jeez... 3. Are you seriously trying to victimize Sylvanas? Okay... 4. Fair enough, some alliance's killed a few goblins doing shady stuff during war times...hard to believe huh?! 5. Fair enough, but again, war times and the ship could contain high valuable targets or it could be a threat . But I agree, although this would seem more of a mistake and poor judgment than actually being a villain or evil deed. 5. Again, some dwarfs does not mean Alliance!! JEEZ!! So if a psycopath buys an M9 and mass murder some people does it mean democracy and capitalism are the responsible? Fuck off. 6. Again, are you trying to victimize Sylvanas? Did you forget about what happened to Garithos when he joined her to reclaim Lordaeron? Yeah, guess the alliance misstrust in the undead is well funded and I bet she had a scheme to actually fuck the alliance over with those emissaries.
Just got to say for the post 3rd war alliance not allowing the undead in, lets have a quick itinerary of events, undead and demons had swarmed the eastern kingdoms and had left deep scars on the people there, then post the war Arthas lead the scourge left in the eastern kingdoms to slaughter all he could find there adding more to the hate for the undead. Then Sylvanas teams up with Garithos who was the de-facto leader of the alliance force Lordaeron only to backstab him and steal the the city. Can you blame the other members of the alliance for not trusting her or just flat hating the undead for the many terrible things they had done up until then
He will never do that - otherwise Alliance video will look simply laughable and positively innocent compared to gruesom shit horde gets to do. Even if you ignore All the “small mischiefs” like villages burned or people slaughtered and mutilated or prisoners experimented on, you have genocides and mass slaughters that make Taurajo or Stonespire look like a bar fight.
Why do people say that Stormheim was perpetuated without provocation. The Horde had attacked the Alliance and broken the Armistice at Ashran in WoD, starting the war anew. If you want proof I can easily provide it. Besides, even without Ashran the Gilneans lost their kingdom to Sylvanas and the Horde, they have full justification regardless.
@Mel1lvar sylvanas demolishes entire Kingdom, turns its population into refugees, blights the land, creates an implacable enemy of the horde from the most passive man in Eastern Kingdoms and faces no consequences or repercussions of her actions: this is fine! Thats just how war is. Genn strikes out against her and only destroys military ships and later thwarts her selfish plans of enslaving entire race: booo! Evil! How could he! What a warmonger! Horde logic.
@@MrVlad12340 They were literally in a cees fire while fighting the Legion together and he attacks her ships unprovoked. Yes I understand the justifiable hatred he has for her, but it was still an unprovoked attack during a cees fire putting the alliance in the wrong.
@@GwyndolinEnthusiast but it puts things into perspective. You dont see Alliance using Ashran to accuse horde of anything and start a war , and Ashran was btw far larger incident since it involved a long warfare with two capital bases sieging each other and definitely more losses then a single fleet and one aircarrier.
>Furry attacks Horde >Zombie Hag commits mass genocide and burns down a tree because she wants to kill as many people as possible >The Alliance is to blame (?) This is just another reminder that Elves ruin everything.
People upset over Greymane breaking Sylvanas's lantern DuRiNg PeAcEtImE really are scraping the barrel. Gilneas and the horde were at peace when she, you know, tried to exterminate their people
Well that is technically incorect, as Garrosh ordered an attack on them. So, he declared a war and Sylvanas carried it out. She broke direct orders during it, but the war was out. And usually, war happens when both sides are at peace, I just feel like I need to point it out
Gilneas was a neutral faction, no allegiance to either side so not only was the attack unprovoked its a class A example of the Horde's tendency to Warmonger recklessly behind the Alliances back
Uhhh....that wasnt the alliance though? Yeah, Garrithos was an asshole....but the whole Sunwell thing is Arthas. And all the shit they did after getting to Illidan is there own fault.
@@Fion355 it is Arthas thing but don't forget he was a member of the alliance , he go trained and raised there so the path he took was all alliance fault
@A random paladin Camp Taco was allowed a full evacuation before the attack, Dalaran “Purge” killed only a dozen elfs, Battle of Dazar’Alor also was t particularly destructive or devastating, and goblins had no right to harvest dangerous “nuclear” ore on neutral , not horde land. Plus they killed Explorers League first.
1. Totally agree, I felt awful doing that questline. HOWEVER, Kirin Tor was officially neutral at that point, Jaina officially joins Alliance afterwards. That being said, the Silver Covenant takes part in and they are Alliance, so gonna give you a point. (Protecting a city and stealing a weapon of mass destruction isn't the same thing, though.) 2. Was gonna point out what Baine had said, but you already pointed it out^^ 3. Pretty sure truce went out the window when the Horde abandoned Alliance at the Broken Shore. Also Genn attacked Sylvanas while she was attempting to enslave val'kyr (Second War red dragons flashbacks, anybody?), I think you meant that the admiral attacked Sylvanas' fleet? But again, fair enough. Regarding Sylvanas' comment about how Genn and that admiral wasn't punished, I assume it was largely due to the fact that they stopped Sylvanas from clearly evil actions by the end of Stormheim storyline (and since somebody once argued with me that they should have been immediately recalled to explain themselves, one, they were practically stranded at first, and two, Anduin cannot just up and recall a leader of nation, especially since almost all of the forces there are said leader's people! If he'd do that, all of the Gilneans would follow their king back to Stormwind, and Alliance would have to move some other forces into Stormheim). 4. Everytime I see somebody telling how Zandalar wasn't allied with the Horde, I log onto my Horde alt and watch the Horde army assembled in their harbor. 5. Pretty sure novel's lore is more important in the long run than quest's lore, and in the novel there's no mention of goblin's being attacked. 6. THAT WHOLE QUESTLINE MAKES NO SENSE LOREWISE! Lets start with Alliance SOMEHOW capturing the Motherf***ing Thrall (I think there was allusion at the end of some traitor among the Kor'kron but if it were then it didn't go anywhere), then Worgen being a high ranking member of SI:7 already despite how they don't joining Alliance until AFTER Wolfheart novel, which takes place weeks if not months after Cataclysm started, oh, and icing on the cake, the whole ordeal not being brought up even ONCE in any novel or even quest (actually, correction, in Twilight of the Aspects Thrall mentions how he had been captured, but doesn't mention Alliance involvement), while in contrast Gilneas being attacked by the Horde gets brought up practically every novel and expansion (seriously, I think only in WoD it wasn't mentioned). I generously think that Blizzard wanted to make both of the new races feel more like part of their faction from the start, and what better way than having them face off against their enemies, but in case of goblin's questline they should have done better job making sure it makes sense, and considering how it wasn't brought up at all anywhere else I think they too had realized that and try to pretend that it didn't happen. (also, since both previous points are about goblins, just gonna point out that I THINK they number of goblins who aren't evil/assholes/jerks in lore can be counted on ONE hand ;p) 8. Alliance allied with Forsaken against Balnazzar, and in return their commander got killed and EATEN, while his forces were either chased out or killed (we know of at least one survivor in novel Cycle of Hatred). Strange how they considered them monsters afterwards. (Same with Nathanos' comments about Alliance, you can't say that they hunt you down like dogs if you yourself slaughtered an outpost of former allies to get a hold of some f***ing documents!) I will admit though that they should have listened to the emissaries at least, though, considering that they DID listen to death knights', and I will have Arthas chew out Varian for that in my fanfiction when I get to it (www.fimfiction.net/story/55373/rebirth-of-the-damned). Also it's possible that Onyxia had played a hand in that, but that's just speculation. - Agree, internment camps were bad. Alliance should have just slaughtered the orcs (:sarcastic:), and that way it wouldn't have broken up due to taxes that their upkeep costed, and the common people, unhappy with those taxes, wouldn't turn to the Cult of the Damned for promise of unity and immortality. Interment Camps led to rise of the Scourge! (semi-sarcastic ;p) - The night elves OUTLAWED the use of magic, under the penalty of death. The Highborne ignored them, and 4k years after War of the Ancients caused a storm of magic that threatened Ashenvale Forest. The night elves could have KILLED them all, but instead showed mercy and exiled them. That decision led to high elves invading troll lands, teaching humans magic, founding Dalaran and later Council of Tirisfal, which eventually led to birth of Medivh, his corruption by Sargeras, opening Dark Portal and all 4 Wars, so again, showing mercy screwed people over. As for the orcs, they attacked them when they realize that they were chopping down an unreasonable amount of trees (and they reeked of demons or something). - Not defending Yrel, but just recalled what Mag'har and some Horde players say about the draenei afterwards. So just gonna point out that they at LEAST gave orcs the choice to convert. When in original timeline the orcs began starting shit, they didn't give draenei choice, they just started slaughtering them and then paved a massive road out of their bones.
For the last part. It's isn't really a choice if the option is join us or die. Blizzard take on the light is clear, follow them blindly like the void and you'r as evil. Just look at their Na'aru. And the orc back at that time were manipulated by Kil'jaeden. Yes, a draenei, working for the legion as on of its leader. I mean aren't the elves responsibles for the legion to discover Azeroth in the first place ? Onyxia couldn't have had that much of influence on dwarf, her hold was on human. And if she's an excuse for early wow shitty behaviour for Alliance, i don't see why gul'dan and other legion's follower aren't one for the horde. And the human which Silvannas killed were top tier trash. They said they would have no remorse exploiting her force, but they would have to get the fuck away from the town once they would have liberate it. Forsaken needed the town too, to protect themselves, and it was their town too. They were already considered as monster because they were undead. Alliance hate for undead is regularly shown in the story without a need for them to do evil deed. Internment camp were an excuse, most were poorly handle and the orc were poorly treated, they could have offer the orc a chance to proves their values, they did not. And when the orc tried to leave, they were hunted too. Which is kinda sensical knowing the war they had with them a few year earlier. Night Elves have always been jerk. To realize that you just need to look at how they let the Tauren dies killed by centaurs and pigmen, while they'r one of the most peacefull species of their continent. And their treatment of their old Allies, blood elves and Nightborne is clearly showing how they think. Baine pointed that out, but the Alliance forgot that Theremore were as much a good military target especially with how they worked with the Alliance in cataclism. Kirin tor weren't really neutral anymore when they decided to offer troops in a defense of a city openly at war with the horde. This questline made even less sense when you know that the ship that tried to capture thrall are from Theremore. But it is as it is. I mean Thrall giving power to garosh is at least as much stupid. No the treaty was still up after the broken shore, they reiterate it a while after Genn do his retarded shit for which some character do talk about it being a mistake he shouldn't have done. He didn't know Silvanas was going to do that at the moment he started to attack her force. He was simply acting his revenge, despite it being against the interest of Azeroth. And Val'kir are valuable for a races that can't reproduce and need exterior help to even keep existing. But yes sylvanas would have do it for some shaddy evil plan. Rastakhan didn't like the idea to allies completely with the horde it was more a situational allies than a definitive one. Unlike his daughter which think that the Zandalari needed some change and new allies. But yes, the attack on Zandalar made sense in a milatary stand point, however not the bullshit Anduin told himself.
Don't forget the Void Elves used void necromancy on dead zandalari warbeasts during the Zuldazar assault, despite the Alliance's longstanding hatred of undead and necromancy. And also them sending "Purge Squads" to attack the Vulpera in Vol'dun, which was before the Vulpera even officially joined the Horde.
Um, "Purge Squads"? I didn't do the assault in Vol'dun too often, the quests are too long for my liking, but I am pretty sure Alliance quest specifically orders to not attack Vulpera, only their cargo (which they trade to the Horde).
@Valithor maybe but in both case it comes down to undead whith there free will and memory coming back to stormwind seeking what they think to be there home and in one case they killed them without even listening to what they have to say and in the other they still are walking amongst the living citizen of the town... that's some clear double standards.
Nope. Just nope. All we ever did after we broke free of Guldan was in an effort to survive. All u did was in an effort to gain MORE POWER and to serve your fucked up holy light!
Horst Hooden from all Alliance races on Humans and Draenei serve the Light and Night Elfs are Elune followers, dwarves have shamanism and light but not as humans do. And Horde exactly did what they did for power. Alliance defended themself to survive when Horde kept coming at them screaming bloody murder.
@@horsthooden4600 What about Stonetalon? When you literally bombed a whole druid school away that did nothing but train young night elves the ways of a druid?
I wouldn't say Dailin Proudmoore attacked the Horde without provocation (or at the very least, not without reason). He fought them in the second war, lost a portion of his fleet and his son to their Dragon riders. What he knew the Horde to be was savage Aliens from another world invading them to kill them all. Basically, for him to see them establishing a new foothold without attacking the Horde, would be the same for us players to see the Burning Legion establishing a new foothold on the broken shore and just accept them as new residents to Azeroth.
As to Jaina defending them, that was all done very hastily and he might have thought he deceived or even mind controlled. After all we saw a lot of mortal palling up with legion or worshiping them , that dosent mean that Legion is to be trusted or welcomed.
The whole reason Thrall led the Horde to Kalimdor was to avoid further conflict with the Alliance. The endgame for Daelin was the complete genocide of all Horde races. Every last man, woman, and child. He proved that when he massacred the inhabitants of Razor Hill during the initial assault on Durotar. He became the very evil he thought he was fighting. Even Anduin acknowledged Daelin was wrong.
@@Ultimaton100 It's not always black and white, when it comes to whats right or wrong. After witnessing the Horde putting the entire southern continent in ruin and almost managing to do the same with Lordaeron, can you really blame him for not giving them the benefit of the doubt? he acted upon what he knew the Horde to be. he knew of their warlocks and suspected they used Jaina against him, therefore he didn't listen to her either. And the fact that the Horde decided to kill him, instead of showing their ability to show mercy and send him and the surviving men of his army back to Kul'Tiras, only confirmed to him he was right. I wouldn't even say he became evil either. He simple fought and killed the Horde to prevent them to grow strong again to the point they could threaten his people and those of Lordaeron, which is what any good leader would do for his people and allies.
Mr Raptor So you’re saying it’s okay to kill children because of what their parents or grandparents did? Genocide is *always* a black and white issue. It’s never excusable under any circumstances. Also, Daelin refused to surrender and he died in battle. At not point did he give the Horde opportunity to show him mercy, and he didn’t deserve it anyway. Again, he literally butchered children. You’re holding the Horde to higher standards than you’re holding him to. Why show mercy to someone who isn’t showing you or your people any? The Horde’s warriors were obligated to end his life to protect their loved ones. Lastly, Daelin didn’t fight the Horde to try to prevent them from growing strong again. He would have taken prisoners if that were his goal. But he didn’t. He fought to exterminate them. He didn’t fight for his people or his allies, just his own selfish ambitions. He acted out of hatred and bloodlust, nothing more.
@@Ultimaton100 I'm not debating if what he did was right or wrong. It was clearly wrong, but he didn't know better and considering what the Horde did, I don't blame him for not believing the Horde had become better. He viewed the Horde as we viewed the Burning Legion. Something that had to be exterminated to secure our own world. We as players would have killed demon children too, believing them to be born evil. You should try and look at it for Daelin's perspective and you could understand his reasons. It won't justify it, but you'll see the reason behind it. It's a good skill to have, to analyses a situation from different perspectives and not be biased just because you like one side over the other.
Yeaaah sure... Compare a lightnign strike operation to kill a King (who was offered a surrender) because his city was harbouring a Horde army and sent their own soldiers to assault Kul'Tiras with a full blown genocide against a surrendered landmass full of civilians and wiping out 1/3 of their race in one night. (Teldrassil WAS a landmass btw).
How many peace treaties and genocides have the horde participated in? Say what you want about Tyrande and Genn. But their reactions are the most realistic when you consider all these other stupid fucking plot points blizzard forces. Let's keep the War and warcraft. Fuck this Horde council, fuck this High King nonsense.
@@grimsphax89 The Alliance had week to evacuate and they did. Garosh delay his attack by at least two weeks and he did know that Baine told jaina that they were attacking. Until the attack on orgrimmar nearly no civilians casualty were counted, because they decided to put some in the city meaning that they attacked some before or after the fall of Theremor. So in that regard Theremore bombing was at least as justified as Taurajo.
@Goku Black didnt “forced”. They signed up a contract to work for the Alliance in exchange for supplies but then Alliance found out that pandaren have no working ethics whatsoever and constantly take naps at work, leave when they feel like it and dont understand what “quick work” is. Basically that plus Sha stoking paranoia in the commander led to her ordering pandaren to be forced to comply to the work quotas. Meanwhile horde just enslaved local pandaren, but as “motivation” used their kids who were held hostage.
The questlines in the Jade Forest are kind of a wash, because both factions have very similar storylines just at different points (North for Horde, South for Alliance) of the zone and allying with a different race. Both leaders (Nazgrim and I think Rell Nightwind) have a failure in battle, get half-possessed by Sha, get purified by Taran Zhu, free some native Pandaren who were strong armed into helping the opposing faction build a base, defeat an enemy leader who was fully taken over by the Sha, recruit the monkeys/fish, then head towards the battle of the Serpent's Heart. So bringing up any of this doesn't help or hurt the 'Alliance bad' narrative of the video.
Yaaaaa no. Alliance aren't the "bad guy." Maybe the right time to point out how many warchiefs the horde goes through after they screw a bunch of stuff up and how the alliance always needs to go fix it all. And Bolvar was left as Lich King. Horde are cool though.
That pattern only started in Cata and doesn't hold as true as Ally would like, Vol'jin only made one "mistake" as Warchief and that was to appoint Sylv as his successor. As someone who actually agrees with her initial mentality when declaring war (the horde and the alliance will never have peace as it is, so let's fight this bitch out once and for all) it was still a bad decision and even worse to let his Loa decide. And before anyone brings it up, Broken Shore was not Horde's fault. Varian dying was the absolute best outcome for how stacked the odds were against both sides.
Siliuse as a matter of fact she knew that Shore will go FUBAR and didnt warned Vol’Jin since that was part of the scheme to get her atop of the Horde concocted by her and Jailer. So she is indeed responsible for all the crap, including Varian’s death. And factions were a split hair from peace and maybe even a path to dissolving factions and uniting as one Azeroth or just bunch of racial states without factions. But she ruined it.
@@MrVlad12340 I take all new Sylvanas stuff with a grain of salt. Ever since they decided Shadowlands would be the next expansion the amount of "YOU FOOLS, SHE WAS EVIL THE WHOOOOLE TIME AND IT WAS ALL A PART OF HER MASTER PLAN" has gotten ridiculous. Before long it will be revealed that she *meant* to have Arthas turn her into a banshee for more power, that's how ludicrous it feels in comparison to the writing of the time. I mean, in one of the official books Sylvanas literally thinks TO HERSELF that she doesn't want to be Warchief and this is during a time frame that according to her recently she did want to be Warchief. She's so good at lying, she even lies to herself and she believes it! Sylvanas becoming a main baddie was never out of the realm of possibility but the way Blizz is handling it is a complete mess.
Siliuse well, Vol’Jin was “helped” to die by Jailer and Jailer was in cahoots with her since post-WotLK, so this is not at all far fetched theory but rather a consistent fact.
@@MrVlad12340 The Jailer did not exist as a character pre-BFA. Not only that but there was literally no hint of him until then because they wanted to retcon how Sylvanas became Warchief. Some people also like to point to when you speak with Vol'jin's spirit but while he hints that it felt like there was something wrong with him during Broken Shore, it doesn't remotely hint at The Jailer impersonating his Loa. That came even later into BFA's life cycle. The earliest hint is in the Edge of Night short story where it was left intentionally ambiguous and once again, written during BFA. The fact that we are only just now learning about this extremely powerful being who according to the writers plays a huge role in WoW's cosmology when we've known about The Shadowlands for at least two expansions...and yet we're just learning about this guy who we're being told has been meddling since WotLK. It's hokey writing when you have to make a whole new character to dig yourself out of the hole you made with another one in terms of logic and straight up betraying canon.
I was going to defend all points one by one but your video is good enough on its own. I still believe the alliance is clearly the good guy in the story. This is part because I hold the horde also accountable for acts done by the hordes of different names maining: Garroshs horde, Guldans horde, Blackhands horde ect. They are all the same faction just in a line through time.
Ahahahahaahahahah. Gods, imagine if we held Alliance to the same standard. Dwarves responsible for digging the fucking old gods out of the dirt why don't ya?
Felony and Horde responsible for destroying a planet. And unlike Brann (once) discovering an Old God by chance they did it on purpose. And Yogg Saron was awakened anyway, Brann or no Brann.
Majority of these leave out key pieces of information and are seemingly intentionally misleading. 1-Jaina's Purge of Dalaran: Aethas knew they toke the bell, and didn't stop them. The leader she talked to and tried twice for him to confess and work with her didn't. Only after his refusal did they take down his guards and go for the purge. The bell in question was an awful artefact that would have done extreme harm to the horde and alliance both if Garrosh got to use it and only where stopped because of Anduin. During the ToT story line multiple altercations occur where Lor'themar feigns ignorance of the bell and Aethas shys away multiple times to confessing his sins. Her goal wasn't exile, it was detainment to find the culprits, she knew not everyone was a guilt but because Aethas wouldn't help, everyone was a suspect and this was too dangerous of an item to shrug away. 2-Camp Taurajo: You forgot to mention innocents where killed by the looters because they where ex prisoners, they where then killed or arrested by alliance players. Also, the camp wasn't training your run of the mill hunter warrior, but Kor'kron, Garrosh's own force. They where a vital military target especially considering Garrosh's expansion north. 3-Unprovoked attack on stormheim: This is wow's fault. Originally it was intended that you would go from Azsuna to Val'Sharah to Highmountain to Stormheim. During the Azsuna questline the alliance find a letter on a horde sailor informing them of Sylvanas's planned attack on Stormheim. This is what is intended to lead on to the questline in Stormheim, said quest is still in the game as a lootable quest with a turn in with Greymane, nothing connected or leading from it. In cannon Greymane knew about the plan to capture the Valkyries, oh and she brought plague there. 4-Attack on Dazar'Alor: The Zandalari trolls where letting the horde using there city as a base. They had already had the attack on Brennadam. The unprovoked attack on a kul'tiran town with no alliance military set up where they mostly killed and also specifically brutalised civilians. Even during the alliance assault they had given full plans to avoid civilian causalities. This one is jumping through so many hoops to try and act as if the alliance ain't saints during this conflict. 5-Silithus: This would have a strong point, the alliance striked first, unprovoked, and with intent to kill against non combative forces. Except you entirely ignored that Azeroth woke up Magni to tell all the horde and Alliance leaders, before the mining, that hey, Azeroth is bleeding, don't hurt her more and try and help her. Sylvanas got the message and lied that she would before having the goblins do exactly what the world soul said not to do. Oh and the tauren fully agreed with healing azeroth and where to go south as well to help heal the wound, hence why there leaders weren't present during the attack on Darkshore. Sylvanas's preparations toke place prior to the magni meeting, but she ordered it to continue following. 6-The goblin attack: This is a good example of over aggression. The only left out info is the treaty was broken by Garrosh, the alliance weren't aware that Thrall was doing Earthern Ring business and not horde warmongering. But none the less, a good example of alliance going too far. Oh and the goblins didn't join the horde. Gallywix did and he owns the lives of all goblin player characters. 7-Stonespear Tribe: Clear cut alliance being the offenders with no redeeming factor. Should be mentioned that this isn't the first altercation like this or last and both the Nelf's and Tauren oppose the Dwarven archaeological efforts. 8-Undead emissaries: This was a retcon from the chronicles and it even specifically notes that Sylvanas 'claims' to have sent letters with non returning. And the alliance have no knowledge of this what so ever, and it's nothing something they would need to hide. "Hey, you know those moral-less rotting corpses lead by the women who betrayed the previous alliance High General, yea, she reached out to be allies, sounds good right?" 9-Alliance bad for not liking an undead in stormwind. Shocker. Shit point considering Turalyon instantly changed his view and Greymane in the same book came to accept the undead and had empathy for them. Daelin Proudmoore attacked a group of armed Orcs. His only encounters where them as the aggressors, there is no reason he wouldn't be immediately be aggressive and proven right. The interment camps was another example of the alliance being overly empathetic, not bad. Arthas, really? The Elves after being informed by Malygos, who was sane at the time, that it was an over use and careless use of arcane magic that attracted Sargeras. The Elves of Kalimdor under the leadership of Malfurion and Tyrande said, ok, no arcane. The highbourne where ostracised because they didn't agree, they also started summoning demons. The High Elves of Kalimdor went a number of ways. Those of Quel'Thalas had the Sunwell to sustain them and also turned to fel, oh and torturing a Naaru. Other High Elves community broke there addiction. Those of the silver covenant used artifacts and weaned themself of there magical addiction and those of the Lodges, in particular Quel'Danil lodge, broke there own addiction by sheer will. And given that you could make more points for why the Blood Elves are bad, or even why the Nightborne are bad, it's a huge reach to call out the Night Elves to do a thing they where advised to by those older wiser and trusted to guide them, oh and where also proven right. If you think Yrel is being unreasonable for wanting to convert the Orcs then you are implying that the Draenei's lives are simply worth less than the full freedom of the orcs, as there is no question that with time the Orcs will raid again, as they always have done and they Draenei will die unless they strike first. The argument against Yrel is primarly based that a great Naaru tried to convert illidan, and he refused and killed her for it. But Illidan has been either a anti-villain or villain from introduction till now, not once has he been a good person, trying to purge him made perfect sense, gotta remember he is all for mental enslavement, straight up slavery, needless torture, the torture of souls, and the list goes on. You had two strong points, the rest have too many flaws.
Regarding the last point; His argument also completly disregards how the Iron Horde under Alt-Grommashs leadership had been gearing up for Genocide just as in the canon time line, with their blood magic mainly using Draenei captives. Ner'Zhuls alliance with the void lords was completely detached from this altogether and would have had the potential to destroy Draenor, and Grommash went ahead and welcomed him into the Iron Horde anyway. If it weren't for their Velen, their most senior leader, sacrificing himself to stop Ner Zhuls plan, it even would have worked.
Well no, I play horde because the lore characters are better, and the horde version of events are fun, and because of the goblins, nightbornr, vulpera, and blood elves
@@laurenford3951 its more about that Alliance lore is under developed compared to Horde. All the important lore characters from other human kingdoms are either dead or entirely irrelevant while horde's main characters are still part of the lore. Unfortunately Horde was the main focus since TBC, alliance is secondary.
To clarify some things, Jaina acted on her own and Varyan told her off for it during the purge of Dalaran and they did turn a blind eye to Garrosh's actions and then lied to Jaina's face. And Camp Taurajo was an act of war during war times, a war that the horde started without provocation with the invasion of Ashenvale and the events that unfolded at Theramore. The Alliance also tried to minimize casualties and actually arrested and killed those who took it too far and disobeyed orders. As mentioned in the video, Baine himself doesn't even hold it over the alliance. Then there's Genn's attack on the forsaken which was hardly unjustified, like, are we really gonna forget the events of Cataclysm? He had two reasons. Firstly, vengeance for the horrific and yet again, unprovoked genocidal invasion of Gilneas where they used chemical weapons to destroy his kingdom and killed his son. Secondly, the alliance at this point believed that the horde had betrayed them causing Varyan's death. What we're left with is the attack on the goblins and the dwarves attacking the tauren for not letting them excavate their ancestral lands. These two events while certainly bad, take place on a pretty small scale. And to be honest, anything the alliance did in the fourth war was 110% justified after Teldrassil and all the other shit Sylvanas pulled. Teldrassil was one of the most horrific events in the Warcraft story and Blizzard themselves have on numerous occasions literally referred to it as genocide. It was far worse than Theramore and the purge of Dalaran. It rivals the draenei genocide on Draenor. It was real bad.
Buhu, alluance are good rest bad. You cant compare kill... Plz shut up. Bouth side have crap on the shoes. Like countrys in real world. No way justify it.
Bakuryu Kenji you really going for that one? Can you compare a theft with murder? Which is worse? Murder. Horde basically commits mass murder while worst thing Alliance did was groceries theft.
To clarify your clarification She imprisoned/exterminated entire population due to actions of a fraction of them. Random people and civilians that had nothing to do with it. Taurajo was an actio during wartime - that lead to death of civillians. Alliance did not killed them - they just forced them to walk into a death trap. Justification has nothing to do with it. Alliance and Horde were in a pact of nonagression and working together against LEgion at the time. Genn decided himself to break this treaty off, attack and risked the entire operation to extract Titan Artifact, risking the failure of the only plan Azeroth had against Legion. He risked, quite literally, everyone's lives for his vengence. Belief about Varian death is not a factor - peace treaty is a peace treaty, they broke it. But if we accept your logic - then Forsaken attack on Gilneas was justified. A long awaited revenge of not Forsaken - but people of Loarderon that Gilneas left to the mercy of the scourge years ago, And yes, without a doubt, Teldrassil was a tragedy of, as far as my lore knowledge tells me, unprecedented scale. But just because someone commited grand crime we cannot just ignore existance of a smaller one. To use a comparison - just because Hitler and the Nazis commited horrific atrocities, that does not mean Stalin or Mao were not monsters.
To your point of the Alliance troops being sent to Theramore Rhonin was Explicit in his orders that they were SOLEY to defend Theramore. They would NOT attack.
You guys have to realise that the Horde is so bad that the writers are forced to pull Alliance war crimes out of their asses to make it at least a little bit balanced.
Yep....given how the horde is allways like "WE HAVE TO DEFEND AGAINST THE EVIL ALLIANCE" like the Alliance tried to kill them at every meeting, at every time and any spot since they the orcs came to Azeroth "peacefully" (Lol..)...
@@Fion355 When? You mean like at the Highlands where horde BUTCHERED both sides civilians because they were afraid of peace? Or when they came from Draenor for the first time, wiping out every single civilian they see without even a remote attempt to have any diplomacy. Or when Horde broke peace by assaulting Ashenvale twice without a single provocation? Alliance quite literally never waged War on Horde, they always reacted to their assault and you would know that if you knew a single thing about horde.
The fact that horde came here because they just needed something to kill and claim all resources , corrupted as fuck, doesn’t mean anything to someone who gets a hard one when he sees horde? It would never happen all of this if orcs didn’t came to Azeroth and started their own faction like honorable
Much of this list is complete nonsense. 3. Greymanes attack. There was no longer a truce after the Broken Shore, where the Horde seemingly left the Alliance to die...and none of the Horde leaders ever bothered to explain why they had to fall back, leaving the Alliance with only assumptions...and considering that only two years back a warchief of the Horde started another rampage across the world...yeah. (And no during the time Shaw was already replaced by a dreadlord and as such SI:7 was not able to give exact information.) 4. Alliance killing Rastakhan. How exactly was this a problem in any way? The Zandalari let the Horde use their harbor and city as a staging ground for its troops and armies, which will obviously make you a target in a world war. Oh, and Zul and Talanji burned down Stormwind and destroyed several ships of the Alliance...making the attack even more justified. Oh, and Talanji? Sailing with a known criminal, and trying to reach the Horde while said Horde is at war with another superpower for essentially world domination is a terrible idea. 5. Alliance attacking first in Silithus. Yeah...what about that dwarven and Sentinel expedition which got completely killed and wiped out by goblin miners who then captured a gnome and forced her to build weapons for them? 8. Forsaken emmisaries There's absolutely no statement anywhere that the Alliance ever attacked any emmissaries at all. Chronicles only states that said emmisaries never returned. The journey from Lordaeron to Stormwind is a long and perilous one. There's absolutely zero information if the Alliance attacked them or not and it's pure speculation. The "iffy"-Alliance things...well...if we count them then Gul'dan was also part of the Horde. Outside of that none of these things comes even close to the fact that the Horde has committed a literal genocide in BfA. Unless the Alliance nukes Thunderbluff with all civilians still inside, the factions will never be equal in moral terms.
@@Azure_clematis14 Varian died because he trusted the horde to hold the flank. Or if we use information from the Shadowlands then he died because Sylvanas and Jailer “helped” Voljin to die and so led to horde’s flank collapse.
I don’t understand half of stuff you are trying to argue. Barrens is heavily contested territory and Alliance and Horde always have skirmishes regardless of peace treaties as we can see in the game. Forsaken were at the time same undead who slaughtered so many people during the 3rd war. So were they supposed to welcome them back full of trust with open arms? Jaina exiling blood elves over a treason- honestly it’s the LEAST she could do considering what they did to her. When you say stuff has been done for no reason whatsoever i can’t help but wonder if you read all events revolving around. Also Arthas alliance argument is same like me saying Horde/orcs actually had the first lich king vessel aka Nerzhul
Killing unarmed civilians who aren’t involved in the war effort is never justified. The Barrens wasn’t contested territory until the Alliance invaded it at the start of Cataclysm. The Forsaken weren’t part of the Scourge at the time the Alliance started killing them. The Sunreavers never betrayed Jaina or committed treason.

You wouldnt want any of the horde races except Taurens or belfs perhaps, living with us on earth. While only worgens would really be a problem from the alliance side
Er...but Jaina isn’t alliance. Even before BFA she wasn’t alliance. Her attempts at cross faction alliances is like...a core part of her character and backstory. I mean I guess technically she is ally now bc of the Kul Tirans joining the alliance, but that’s recent and long after the purge of Dalaran.
After the purge Jaina broke the Kirin'Tor's neutrality and it became a faction of the Alliance, with her as its leader. Jaina has been Alliance ever since.
@@danu2133 For like 5 mins until she left the Kirin Tor to Khadgar and the Kirin Tor became neutral again. And TBH I wouldn't consider her a faction leader even during that time.

The purge of Dalaran had nothing to do with the Alliance and everything to do Jaina and the city itself. It was literally a brief civil war in Dalaran.

Point you missed with the goblin starting zone: when Thrall was attacked, he was on his way to the Maelstrom on Earthen Ring business, not as a member of the Horde. It's the equivalent of if the Horde used Malfurion's efforts against the Firelands as a good opportunity for an assassination.
who was assassinated?
No those were twilight hammer cultist
@ThatAnimeGuy to be fair Thrall was still technically the official warchief there.
Garrosh was still just a stand in.
@ThatAnimeGuy Garrosh was instructed to lead the Horde until, Thrall returned.
He was first given the full mantle and permanent position.
After, the goblin hero delivers Thrall's message making him the actual warchief.
Thrall was still Warchief when the SI:7 attacked him, but he was on his way with to the Earthern Ring, to save the world from falling into deep holm.
So, indeed Stormwind tried to end the world.
Thrall has been the Warchief of the Horde for years, more than a decade up to that point, and suddenly because he says "Guys I'm with this neutral faction now, promise" everyone is supposed to believe it?
It's like if we caught Sylvanas now and she was like "Yeah, I did all those horrible things but I JUST changed to be the leader of this orphanage, so now I have complete immunity from everything I've ever done, byeeeee"
"The Alliance produced Arthas"
*Distant Ner'zhul laughter*
@Gabeslogic Uther tried to stop Arthas, Muradin tried to stop Arthas, Therenas was killed by Arthas , Ner’Zhul basically “made” Arthas - but somehow its Alliance fault.
Plus, Arthas technically counts as scourge anyway.
And nerzhul pretty much balances him out
During shadowlands we hear that Arthas did not know what he was doing. The jailor controlled him and gave him the ilusion that he would do everything in the name of the good. Nerzuls soul was just a crafting material to make the armor and frostmourne. Maybe he controled also a small part of arthas but the jailor did the biggest part.

Jaina: "Oh no, we're too late. The blood elves have already spread across the city. They may look fine now, but it's only a matter of time before they betray us to the Horde."

Jaina: "The entire blood elves must be purged from this city!"

There is one, and it was written by a hack. Both were bad in every other one
CamTheKitty cata and mop were both kinda horde bad, at least more than alliance. Although it was more just on garrosh, like in bfa with sylvanas
@@OhNoTheFace Whom'st is this "hack?"
Dangerous Second account to be faaaaair, the Horde was led by Garrosh and Sylvanas and ultimately followed the orders. I few genocides later the Horde only has the blood of a few million people ie Darnassus, Ashenvale, Gilneas, Southshore and Hillsbrad, Pyrewood and Ambermill, the Pandaren who didn’t obey, Theramore etc.
Not only expansions. Warcraft 1 and 2 too ;)
In Vanilla, the Scarlet Crusade actually even has an emissary in Stormwind Cathedral. Which is kinda funny when you think about it. In reality in Vanilla the Alliance has no reason to be hostile to the Scarlet Crusade.
in desolace there is a quest where the alliance player character impresses a SC emissary enough to be invited to the monastery, problem that your invitation is burned by a Paladin who betrays the SC
In Vanilla, Onyxia was disguised as Lady Prestor and was using her influence to do dark things.
And the scarlet crusade never was a good thing in alliance.
@@arthursalustino Well, the Scarlet Crusade was more a case of, "We know that you do bad stuff, but we will look in the other direction." The Alliance simply had no reason to go after the Crusade, because in the end they kept the Scourge and other undead in check essentially making sure that they were able to fully march southwards against for example Southshore. And at least you CAN negotiate with the Crusade on some level (Marjhan and other crusaders helped with the attack on Naxxramas after all), but most undead are completely mindless.
@@CecilyThanador They were also in the depths of undead controlled land. No real way to help them, even if they wanted to. At that point, the alliance never wanted a fullscale war with the horde, which would have happend in that case.

If you're going to pin Arthas on the Alliance of Lordaeron, then someone could pin Gul'dan on the Horde.....
BrooklynRedLeg or Nerzhul who was the reason Arthas became evil in the first place.
pierre persson Try a little more reason and logic
pierre persson not wrong. Nerzhul was the one who orchestrated his downfall.
@pierre persson Not wrong, Nerzul was the master mind behind most of what happened in Arthas's story.
He personally targeted him as his champion.
that's right, most of the alliance members (for example jaina and uther) absolutely didn't want to follow his purge. only soldiers loyal to arthas went with him into lordaeron. arthas was taught the way of light, pride and justice by the alliance and by his father. the alliance is clearly not a fault for his downfall.

Silithus, Stormheim & the Undead emissary incident are all spot-on.
Camp Taurajo was a millitary target during wartime that allowed civillians to escape. That is how you fight wars correctly.
While the Purge of Dalaran was an overreaction, comparing the sunreavers actively assisting in a major War Crime to Dalaran aiding the defense - and only the defense - of a city that stood for peace throughout its entire existence is laughable.
The trees of Ashenvale are sacred to the Night Elves, so it is beyond me why retaliation is even considered in a video like this. You can't harvest the Azeroth Equivalent of a UNESCO world heritage site and be salty when its protectors fight back.
Lehmannation plus stealing lumber from another nation is also a crime. It would be as if UK invaded Norway and started drilling their oil and then get mad when Norway kicked them out.

I think that's just the point, though. Giving oneself too fully to the light surrenders that true more variable self to the lights "one 'true' path".
Would be interesting to see what freeing someone from the Light's grasp would entail, if even possible-- just like how we're beginning to see that void corruption isn't necessarily absolute as it seems as well.
This is WoW. It's in-game lore is basically a set of anime-like confrontations with immediate emotions for players from the both sides. Being coherent is one of the last things it's aimed at.

Themes of the alliance: Honor, Courage, And so much racism that uncle ruckus would be proud
Fulgrim where? Name me an instance of Alliance racism outside of Garithos i dare you.
VladTutushkin literally held orcs as slaves and in camps, treated them like animals. Even if some orcs attacked the alliance that was still messed up. Ever heard thrall’s life story?
@@knogne5073 It was either that or wipe them out completely calmer heads (Proudmoore) prevailed. Say what you want about the camps but the way I see it until proven to be civil keeping them under close watch was the smartest decision, Enemies close and all that
K Nogne and as others mentioned alternative was to kill them all. And just so you know - those humans who came up with camps idea - lordaeronians are now in the Horde as forsaken. And high elfs wanted to just kill all orcs and now they also in the horde as blood elfs so go and bitch as them , not at people of stormwind who actually had no say in that issue.
@@knogne5073 still the Alliance of Lordaeron, which is defunct. Majority of those people died during the Scourge plague.
Ehhhh, in the Night Elves' defence, it wasn't just a couple of trees. It was like, a whole lot of their "Sacred Grove".
In wich they simply replied by slaughterin the orcs without telling them what they even did wrong they came crashing along with a fucking demigod to wipe them out. If Tyrande didn´t have her starwberry weeks 24/7 all year round she would have at least said "hey dudes thats holy ground you are on if you want some trees i got some druids that can help you grow them fast but you got to stay out of here" but nope Demigod nuke it is just for some people trying to get wood to have a roof above their head
It's the equivalent of humans actually being able to successfully blow up the Eywa tree in Avatar.
I actually like the goblins, they fit good intro the horde.
Yeah they took role of ogres, as constructors of battle ships and war vehicles. Also they are perfect counterpart of gnomes with all this technology stuff!
A point you missed though is depending on which side you play on BoD it shows you a different motive for the battle with Rastakhan. Alliance who saw the actual event saw Genn asking Rastakhan to surrender, he refuses and then we have to kill him. your video makes it sound like the alliance's original intent was to kill him. It wasnt. The Horde however gets told a very different conversation, embellished to make it looked like killing him was the original intent. I found this change of context rather creative.
Horde propaganda indeed, the troll chose his fate.
W8 the intent was "to drive a wedge between the zandalari and the horde".And since when did intention matter?The horde intention in the water for thorns was to drive a wedge between the members of the alliance.i mean yes it had something called as utter stupidity and alliance plan had only stupidity.but if that is a justification then isn't the fourth war justified?
badri nath because unlike with War of Thorns Alliance had no intention of genociding Zandalari.
@@MrVlad12340 Neither did the Horde, technically.
The plan was to capture the world tree. (Capture the troll king)
Holding its people hostage and make it harder for the alliance to act. (Taking a Hostage sounds familiar? Talanji)
the events are pretty mirrored with the exceptions of the Horde never making landfall on the world tree and instead destroyed it, with the rulers fleeing.
While the Alliance made Landfall, demanded the King to Surrender and he stood his ground.
I mean if the writers had not been trying to milk BFA with pointless Horde drama, then Sylvanas would already had lost the Horde after burning the Tree.
the War of Thorns was planned as an Honorable war, lead by Saurfang.
To grant her credit.
What was told to Rastakan doesn't matter in the slightest. He was raided in his home, his fleet decimated and his people killed. He would defend himself no matter what. If the Alliance intention was just to cripple the Horde and Zandalari by destroying the fleet... they didn't have to raid the city at all. They could have just pushed the button to explode all the ships (which they did)... and then just sailed off. Done. No need to remove the leader. Maybe he would join the Horde, maybe he wouldn't. He didn't have the fleet at that point, so it didn't really matter. For the Alliance, it made little difference if it was Rastakan personally or his daughter Talanji leading the Zandalari. It never really held any strategic significance to the Alliance in terms of preventing the war.
"The night elves didn't want the orcs chopping trees"
I literally don't see what's wrong with this at all, it's their territory, their "sacred" forests. What are they supposed to do, tell them not to?
"Please, could you not destroy a land that doesn't belong to you?"
@Valithor Those are too many words for "Let's drink demom blood and kill everything... Twice"
Valithor they CHOSE the shitty desert to live in. They could have relocated to more fertile lands like Mulgore or even to Ungoro Crater which is choke full of plants and has no sentient life. Also, they signed up a treaty that gave them Azshara in exchange for no longer going into Ashenvale. Which they broke btw.
@Valithor they never asked to borrow lumber or land. Even after treaties were established, The Orcs just keep taking without acknowledgment. Even though they were Invaders and slaves, the orcs rarely learn.
There's only one way to deal with invaders who dont respect your way of life.
@@AdmiralButtercrust94 To be SORTA fair, they have the whole "destroy nature" thing basically coded into them. They descended from a long line of Breakers that starts with Grond, a massive elemental giant created by titan Aggramar to combat the Evergrowth, a hivemind of all the plantlife on Draenor. The orcs are descendants of a construct that was DESIGNED to destroy nature. So like many of Azeroth's problems, it comes down to titans' surprising incompetence.
Where is the 4 hour-long horde aggression video?
@Dean Robin I would like to see it as well and I am playing on both sides and consider the Faction war dumb at this stage (depose Sylvanas now and finally give us the option to form guilds accross the faction line and play and raid together!)...I have no problem with most Horde races, except one: The Orcs!

something else about the purge... Jaina was a member of the Council of Six.... yes she was given a certain degree of authority to run Dalaran, but not to the degree that she acted in the purge where she could act as judge/jury/executioner and altering the face of Dalaran without the other council members' say.

are you just going to leave out the fact that Sylvanas killed Genn's son? attacked and blighted the whole city of Gilneas? I don't think Genn needed additional provocation to seek her demise.
Sylvanas never blighted Gilneas, and evening if she had, none of what you claimed justifies Greymane’s attempts to conduct a complete genocide of the Forsaken. He also violated the peace treaty when he attacked the Horde fleet in Stormheim without any provocation or cause to do so.
@Bleeding Eye Watcher you missed the part where she used the plague despite Garroshe’s orders which led to Gilneas becoming uninhabitable for a long time? We dont even know how inhabitable it is now. And no, breaking the lamp is not a genocide. Forsaken are not even a race - they are afflicted members of human and some other races. Its like saying that lepergnomes are a race and not just irradiated and insane gnomes.
@teslagod2003 are you simple? Horde attacked Alliance during WoD on Ashran, initiating the PvP stuff there lorewise. Alliance didnt used that as a justification for a full blown war. Plus Gilneas was neutral back then and fell under a massive attack that was completely unprovoked. Comparing that to a battle between Genn and Sylvanas which btw revealed that banshee was again up to no good is laughable and does not justify anything horde did. Alliance was never bigoted or racist or warmongering. If anything they act like too much forgiving SJWs and keep appeasing the horde , at least thats what high king always does.
Well, the Horde only invaded Azeroth and slaughtered some humans and killed her brother and father. And despite all that, she still saved Garrosh's father Grom and most importantly giving Grom a chance to free the entire Orc race from Mannaroth's demon corruption, she only got her entire city nuked by the very Orcs she helped to save who then celebrated in Orgrimmar after. No biggy!
And then she told that next horde will nuke Teldrassil and people laughed at her. And then horde nuked Teldrassil and celebrated in Orgrimmar again. But horde is innocent! Its just whole races keep falling on those genocides horde leaves lying around!
But camp taurajo, the horde needs retribution for the 5 tents the alliance burned !!!
Now hold on, jaina killed her own father, she actively helped in doing that. So i refuse to accept that as a valid excuse.
@@damackabet.4611 Exactly, she sacrificed her own father because she thought it was the right thing to do. Because she trusted the Horde and wanted to let them have a home. Then she got repaid with a nuke.

Because she was with the prophet, who by that point had led the Zandalri trolls in multiple incursions and uprisings across the planet, making him at least an enemy of the Alliance.
Cegesh no, Alliance pretty much knew Zul very well, it is mentioned a few times.
My guess is they locked her up as she was with Zul at the time. He DID resurrect the Thunder King after all.
Because Anduin is not in charge of the Alliance, or even his own kingdom; Shaw and Greymane are.
@Punkrawk yeah, thats why he hamfisted everybody into a shameful peace treaty, because he is “not in charge”, right.
And most popular horde excuse "but muh Taurajo"
Orcs are pure souls man, they didn't do ANYTHING wrong, it was the demon blood. Now ignore the expansion where we see an alternate Horde that never had the blood and still does the same shit.
Xathian or the expansions where Horde followed Garrosh... and then followed Sylvanas into the same exact fucken war for the same reason and didnt even questioned what they were doing till the very end.
Ignore the fact that the alliance went out of their way to prevent civilian casualties during the sack of Taurajo. and during that same expansion the horde razed southshore to the ground (killing or enslaving every alliance individual they could find, regardless of if they were civilians) and they sacked Silverwind refuge, Also intentionally killing civilians. Yet once again, the horde tries taking the moral high ground and saying we're the bad guys.
That thing was a huge fail on the Alliance side. We thought that we were being all nice, sparing the citizens, but instead we accidentally sent them into Quillboar territory where they all died.
Doesn't matter, horde hates us for sparing their citizens anyway
alot of those aggressiv actions made *for me personaly* no sense, like attacking Thrall during Cata or killing the forsaken emessarys.
killing the Forsaken emissaries actually makes sense. It's sad and was a decision motivated purely by blind fear and hate but it did make sense. Keep in mind Lordaeron, one of the greatest human Kingdoms, had just gotten obliterated by the undead in what could basically be described as an apocalypse. This would have freaked out everyone left in the alliance and undead were already seen evil creatures *prior* to the scourge. Couple that with the fact that one of the big tools used by the Scourge to weaken Lordaeron was a plague that created undead and it honestly makes perfect sense why they panicked and killed every Forsaken who showed up. "OH GOD IT'S AN UNDEAD HERE TO SPREAD PLAGUE!!! KILL IT!!!". So entirely understandable.
Scarlet Crusade should be an offshoot of Alliance criminals (which they are) following their bigotry to the conclusion. On the same note the Horde had its own sect of fanatic infiltrators trying to subvert what the Horde stood for, the Burning Blade. Vanilla would've been much more interesting if he stories wound around the Horde throwing the Crusade in the Alliance's face at the same time as the Alliance threw the Burning Blade in the Horde's face. That would make the thin peace Thrall and Jaina cooked at the end of Warcraft III crumble organically. Instead, what we got is the Burning Blade stories never really paying off, and the Alliance never really being forced to confront what the Crusaders did in the Plaguelands.
@@moscanaveia because Scarletts were never under Alliance jurisdiction. They are not even Stormwind citizens.
@@MrVlad12340 The Scarlet Crusade was formed from the remnants of the Knights of the Silver Hand and gathered citizens from all member states of the old Alliance of Lordaeron. Yes, that includes citizens of Stormwind. The Alliance itself did not directly associate itself with the Crusade, but theye were not openly hostile either. In fact, quite the opposite. The Catheddral of Light in Stormwind held a Crusade ambassador, Brother Crowley, who directed adventurers to do the Crusade's work on Desolace. So Stormwind tolerated the Crusade until it was revealed they wewre under the influence of the Dreadlords. But they were corrupt before that - since the death of the Ashbringer, they have been sliding down the ramp of zealotry and bigotry, and that's why the Argent Dawn left their ranks. But the Alliance was still supportive of the Crusade, and only didn't associate further with them because they had little presence in northern Lordaeron, where the Horde was stronger.
@@moscanaveia not true. Alliance stopped associating with them after Hero goes to Desolace and then to Lordaeron and finds out about Scralett zealotry, Dreadlord infiltration was only found out later.

I'm wondering if people actually do them because you don't kill them at all, you scare them off with a special totem.

And that's all we burn is Horde supplies, not their homes or them.

we still to do a lot of catch up before being as bad as them.

Nogard which she does in retaliation for a genocide of her people. You know, a single most drastic reason.
@@MrVlad12340
I did not meant battle for darkshore.
I meant that she MAY start to just butcher all horde she sees.
Nogard and how that will be worse then what Horde already did? If you want to persecute her for that, then you should prosecute Horde too.
true, but on a scale from goodie to badie we all know which faction is closer to each side
Fun thing to consider... we're viewing this from a modernistic, "western" universalist point, that exists for like 60ish years.
As well as the fact that we're looking from a human point, not orc or elf one.
In reality all races/factions will have a drastically different views on what's right or not.
Just think about the lifespans and therefore different reproductive strategies.
Think about intelligence, faith, relation to elements, nature etc.

@@BaltisLV well, yes the story is in fact written by humans, for humans of the 21st century
it'd be pretty stupid to consider it from a savage troll tribes perspective as we are, in fact, not trolls. same goes from the draenei or any race

@@joshlyman7059 It is evident that the story is this way in current Warcraft. However there's absolutely nothing stupid about considering it from a more detailed, or dare I say, interesting perspective.
It has been done in fantasy before, just takes alot more writing. Even modern fantasy like Warhammer or 40k tries doing so (quite decently I'd say).
I'm not saying Warcraft completely lacks it, but it could be improved a bit more.

Ok waiting a 1 hour horde aggression video
lolosh99 3 hours.
1? My my, aren't you conservative with that number 😂
You forgot that the blood elves actually helped destroy theramore pre purge. That's the real reason jaina kicked them out of dalaran
Clayton Hansen she even forgave them for that. She couldnt take it anymore when they smuggled ANOTHER WMD to Garrosh.
When you assume that Sylvanas is up to some shady stuff, you're never gonna be wrong.
@himrumaredx Your horde bias is showing, you know you are playing the evil faciton, stop trying to sugar coat your waifu Lilian or Sylvanas, Is apparent and sad.
The editing is absolutely beautiful in this video I love the little squabbling of the pets in the video.
Remember when
hirumaredx made a video about how Sylvanas is a good warchief for the Horde? lol
The Alliance isn't inherently good, and the Horde isn't inherently bad. Just like in real wars, all sides commit atrocities and deal in shady actions.
TheStargateNerd though Alliance commits far less atrocities. Horde like, leagues ahead in the dimension of rape camps for draenei and human experimentation and genocide.
Well sure the morality isn't black and white, but it's so asymmetric as to be comical at this point.
Eddie the Head its “pale grey” vs “mantablack”.
Arthas cursed sylvanas, so I'd say he carries at least some of the blame for her actions.
And Jaina didn’t stop him making her responsible for everything they did :P
Extremely small and nitpicky compared to the horde goes to show who are the bad guys.
11:55
You forgot to mention that she killed the Alliance forces that help her take the capital city. I think that would have been a pretty big deal to not trust the Forsaken by the Alliance at the time.
5:56
There is a quest in Aszuna called "Fate of the Queen's Reprisal" that if done by the Alliance gives intel about Sylvannas motivations in that zone. So it wouldnt have been a blind attack by Genn as if he could have had knowledge that Sylvannas wasn´t going to the Broken Islands to aid the war effort against the Legion. Though is hard to tell since, as I recall, there is no canon order by a lore stranpoint in which the zones have to be done.
Sylvanas came to Stormheim for its sandy beaches.
Jaina and Arthas the Machine both killing the bloodelfs, nice! If she wasnt so hard to get, they could have done that together in WOTLK.
lol oh goodness
😂😂😂
Definitely looking forward to the triple length Horde Equivalent.
Make it quadruple length.
1. Jaina acting stupid and violently on her own out of revenge does not mean the Alliance had anything to do with it. You said it yourself, Veryan got really mad at her and knew nothing. Don't incriminate a whole faction because of the actions of one individual.
2. War is war, what do you mean attacked for no reason? These are factions AT WAR and you said it yourself that it was a military target and they didn't know about the quillboars. They did try to spare civilians. Jeez...
3. Are you seriously trying to victimize Sylvanas? Okay...
4. Fair enough, some alliance's killed a few goblins doing shady stuff during war times...hard to believe huh?!
5. Fair enough, but again, war times and the ship could contain high valuable targets or it could be a threat . But I agree, although this would seem more of a mistake and poor judgment than actually being a villain or evil deed.
5. Again, some dwarfs does not mean Alliance!! JEEZ!! So if a psycopath buys an M9 and mass murder some people does it mean democracy and capitalism are the responsible? Fuck off.
6. Again, are you trying to victimize Sylvanas? Did you forget about what happened to Garithos when he joined her to reclaim Lordaeron? Yeah, guess the alliance misstrust in the undead is well funded and I bet she had a scheme to actually fuck the alliance over with those emissaries.
Never forget the purge of Dalaran
Just got to say for the post 3rd war alliance not allowing the undead in, lets have a quick itinerary of events, undead and demons had swarmed the eastern kingdoms and had left deep scars on the people there, then post the war Arthas lead the scourge left in the eastern kingdoms to slaughter all he could find there adding more to the hate for the undead. Then Sylvanas teams up with Garithos who was the de-facto leader of the alliance force Lordaeron only to backstab him and steal the the city. Can you blame the other members of the alliance for not trusting her or just flat hating the undead for the many terrible things they had done up until then
Still waiting on the feature film that'll be the horde side of this vid
He will never do that - otherwise Alliance video will look simply laughable and positively innocent compared to gruesom shit horde gets to do. Even if you ignore All the “small mischiefs” like villages burned or people slaughtered and mutilated or prisoners experimented on, you have genocides and mass slaughters that make Taurajo or Stonespire look like a bar fight.

Why do people say that Stormheim was perpetuated without provocation.
The Horde had attacked the Alliance and broken the Armistice at Ashran in WoD, starting the war anew.
If you want proof I can easily provide it.
Besides, even without Ashran the Gilneans lost their kingdom to Sylvanas and the Horde, they have full justification regardless.
@Mel1lvar sylvanas demolishes entire Kingdom, turns its population into refugees, blights the land, creates an implacable enemy of the horde from the most passive man in Eastern Kingdoms and faces no consequences or repercussions of her actions: this is fine! Thats just how war is.
Genn strikes out against her and only destroys military ships and later thwarts her selfish plans of enslaving entire race: booo! Evil! How could he! What a warmonger!
Horde logic.
@@MrVlad12340 They were literally in a cees fire while fighting the Legion together and he attacks her ships unprovoked. Yes I understand the justifiable hatred he has for her, but it was still an unprovoked attack during a cees fire putting the alliance in the wrong.
@@GwyndolinEnthusiast and horde did the absolutely same at Ashran after ceasefire post-MoP and yet nobody started a world war over that.
@@MrVlad12340 The War wass started because Sylvanas wanted to cause mass death. She just used that as an excuse, that doesn't make it any less wrong.
@@GwyndolinEnthusiast but it puts things into perspective. You dont see Alliance using Ashran to accuse horde of anything and start a war , and Ashran was btw far larger incident since it involved a long warfare with two capital bases sieging each other and definitely more losses then a single fleet and one aircarrier.
>Furry attacks Horde
>Zombie Hag commits mass genocide and burns down a tree because she wants to kill as many people as possible
>The Alliance is to blame (?)
This is just another reminder that Elves ruin everything.
People upset over Greymane breaking Sylvanas's lantern DuRiNg PeAcEtImE really are scraping the barrel. Gilneas and the horde were at peace when she, you know, tried to exterminate their people
Kopecci and almost succeeded.
Worgens are furries, and furries should die.
Well that is technically incorect, as Garrosh ordered an attack on them. So, he declared a war and Sylvanas carried it out. She broke direct orders during it, but the war was out. And usually, war happens when both sides are at peace, I just feel like I need to point it out
Gilneas was a neutral faction, no allegiance to either side so not only was the attack unprovoked its a class A example of the Horde's tendency to Warmonger recklessly behind the Alliances back
Forbid Mable they werent furries back then, they started becoming worgens to fight the undead off.
Remember Kael'thas! Remember the Sunwell!
Pretty sure they say "Quel'thalas" and not "Kael'thas" :thinking:
@@FireSignd Yes, but we are remembering to our beloved prince and saviour now.

Everyone should be like kael'thas, how else are we going to destroy retail wow?
@@Fion355 it is Arthas thing but don't forget he was a member of the alliance , he go trained and raised there so the path he took was all alliance fault
Sounds like Horde propaganda to me.
it is.
@Trapped marine you mean, like horde not even accepting that they are to blame for First and Second wars?
@A random paladin Camp Taco was allowed a full evacuation before the attack, Dalaran “Purge” killed only a dozen elfs, Battle of Dazar’Alor also was t particularly destructive or devastating, and goblins had no right to harvest dangerous “nuclear” ore on neutral , not horde land. Plus they killed Explorers League first.
Wait today's not April 1st.
1. Totally agree, I felt awful doing that questline. HOWEVER, Kirin Tor was officially neutral at that point, Jaina officially joins Alliance afterwards. That being said, the Silver Covenant takes part in and they are Alliance, so gonna give you a point. (Protecting a city and stealing a weapon of mass destruction isn't the same thing, though.)
2. Was gonna point out what Baine had said, but you already pointed it out^^
3. Pretty sure truce went out the window when the Horde abandoned Alliance at the Broken Shore. Also Genn attacked Sylvanas while she was attempting to enslave val'kyr (Second War red dragons flashbacks, anybody?), I think you meant that the admiral attacked Sylvanas' fleet? But again, fair enough. Regarding Sylvanas' comment about how Genn and that admiral wasn't punished, I assume it was largely due to the fact that they stopped Sylvanas from clearly evil actions by the end of Stormheim storyline (and since somebody once argued with me that they should have been immediately recalled to explain themselves, one, they were practically stranded at first, and two, Anduin cannot just up and recall a leader of nation, especially since almost all of the forces there are said leader's people! If he'd do that, all of the Gilneans would follow their king back to Stormwind, and Alliance would have to move some other forces into Stormheim).
4. Everytime I see somebody telling how Zandalar wasn't allied with the Horde, I log onto my Horde alt and watch the Horde army assembled in their harbor.
5. Pretty sure novel's lore is more important in the long run than quest's lore, and in the novel there's no mention of goblin's being attacked.
6. THAT WHOLE QUESTLINE MAKES NO SENSE LOREWISE! Lets start with Alliance SOMEHOW capturing the Motherf***ing Thrall (I think there was allusion at the end of some traitor among the Kor'kron but if it were then it didn't go anywhere), then Worgen being a high ranking member of SI:7 already despite how they don't joining Alliance until AFTER Wolfheart novel, which takes place weeks if not months after Cataclysm started, oh, and icing on the cake, the whole ordeal not being brought up even ONCE in any novel or even quest (actually, correction, in Twilight of the Aspects Thrall mentions how he had been captured, but doesn't mention Alliance involvement), while in contrast Gilneas being attacked by the Horde gets brought up practically every novel and expansion (seriously, I think only in WoD it wasn't mentioned). I generously think that Blizzard wanted to make both of the new races feel more like part of their faction from the start, and what better way than having them face off against their enemies, but in case of goblin's questline they should have done better job making sure it makes sense, and considering how it wasn't brought up at all anywhere else I think they too had realized that and try to pretend that it didn't happen.
(also, since both previous points are about goblins, just gonna point out that I THINK they number of goblins who aren't evil/assholes/jerks in lore can be counted on ONE hand ;p)
8. Alliance allied with Forsaken against Balnazzar, and in return their commander got killed and EATEN, while his forces were either chased out or killed (we know of at least one survivor in novel Cycle of Hatred). Strange how they considered them monsters afterwards. (Same with Nathanos' comments about Alliance, you can't say that they hunt you down like dogs if you yourself slaughtered an outpost of former allies to get a hold of some f***ing documents!) I will admit though that they should have listened to the emissaries at least, though, considering that they DID listen to death knights', and I will have Arthas chew out Varian for that in my fanfiction when I get to it (www.fimfiction.net/story/55373/rebirth-of-the-damned). Also it's possible that Onyxia had played a hand in that, but that's just speculation.
- Agree, internment camps were bad. Alliance should have just slaughtered the orcs (:sarcastic:), and that way it wouldn't have broken up due to taxes that their upkeep costed, and the common people, unhappy with those taxes, wouldn't turn to the Cult of the Damned for promise of unity and immortality. Interment Camps led to rise of the Scourge! (semi-sarcastic ;p)
- The night elves OUTLAWED the use of magic, under the penalty of death. The Highborne ignored them, and 4k years after War of the Ancients caused a storm of magic that threatened Ashenvale Forest. The night elves could have KILLED them all, but instead showed mercy and exiled them. That decision led to high elves invading troll lands, teaching humans magic, founding Dalaran and later Council of Tirisfal, which eventually led to birth of Medivh, his corruption by Sargeras, opening Dark Portal and all 4 Wars, so again, showing mercy screwed people over. As for the orcs, they attacked them when they realize that they were chopping down an unreasonable amount of trees (and they reeked of demons or something).
- Not defending Yrel, but just recalled what Mag'har and some Horde players say about the draenei afterwards. So just gonna point out that they at LEAST gave orcs the choice to convert. When in original timeline the orcs began starting shit, they didn't give draenei choice, they just started slaughtering them and then paved a massive road out of their bones.
And the Horde clearly attacked brennedam before Kul`tiras rejoined the Horde so the whole the Zandalari point is useless
@@gilpima6599 um, which part?
For the last part. It's isn't really a choice if the option is join us or die. Blizzard take on the light is clear, follow them blindly like the void and you'r as evil. Just look at their Na'aru.
And the orc back at that time were manipulated by Kil'jaeden. Yes, a draenei, working for the legion as on of its leader. I mean aren't the elves responsibles for the legion to discover Azeroth in the first place ?
Onyxia couldn't have had that much of influence on dwarf, her hold was on human. And if she's an excuse for early wow shitty behaviour for Alliance, i don't see why gul'dan and other legion's follower aren't one for the horde.
And the human which Silvannas killed were top tier trash. They said they would have no remorse exploiting her force, but they would have to get the fuck away from the town once they would have liberate it. Forsaken needed the town too, to protect themselves, and it was their town too. They were already considered as monster because they were undead. Alliance hate for undead is regularly shown in the story without a need for them to do evil deed.
Internment camp were an excuse, most were poorly handle and the orc were poorly treated, they could have offer the orc a chance to proves their values, they did not. And when the orc tried to leave, they were hunted too. Which is kinda sensical knowing the war they had with them a few year earlier.
Night Elves have always been jerk. To realize that you just need to look at how they let the Tauren dies killed by centaurs and pigmen, while they'r one of the most peacefull species of their continent. And their treatment of their old Allies, blood elves and Nightborne is clearly showing how they think.
Baine pointed that out, but the Alliance forgot that Theremore were as much a good military target especially with how they worked with the Alliance in cataclism. Kirin tor weren't really neutral anymore when they decided to offer troops in a defense of a city openly at war with the horde.
This questline made even less sense when you know that the ship that tried to capture thrall are from Theremore. But it is as it is. I mean Thrall giving power to garosh is at least as much stupid.
No the treaty was still up after the broken shore, they reiterate it a while after Genn do his retarded shit for which some character do talk about it being a mistake he shouldn't have done. He didn't know Silvanas was going to do that at the moment he started to attack her force. He was simply acting his revenge, despite it being against the interest of Azeroth. And Val'kir are valuable for a races that can't reproduce and need exterior help to even keep existing. But yes sylvanas would have do it for some shaddy evil plan.
Rastakhan didn't like the idea to allies completely with the horde it was more a situational allies than a definitive one. Unlike his daughter which think that the Zandalari needed some change and new allies. But yes, the attack on Zandalar made sense in a milatary stand point, however not the bullshit Anduin told himself.
Even as a alliance player, I will kill anyone who hurts a Tauren, no matter it is an alliance or horde.
Taurens must be protected at all costs!

Not a single thing the alliance has done justifies the horrors of the Horde. Every Horde race should be expunged.

@@bakuryukenji3802 ???????????????????????????
Except thats now how WoW lore works.
Also its spelled "Typical"
Bakuryu Kenji in WoW we see both sides of the story. Since we play both factions.
I hate the alliance just because you guys are the normies of wow
Don't forget the Void Elves used void necromancy on dead zandalari warbeasts during the Zuldazar assault, despite the Alliance's longstanding hatred of undead and necromancy. And also them sending "Purge Squads" to attack the Vulpera in Vol'dun, which was before the Vulpera even officially joined the Horde.
Um, "Purge Squads"? I didn't do the assault in Vol'dun too often, the quests are too long for my liking, but I am pretty sure Alliance quest specifically orders to not attack Vulpera, only their cargo (which they trade to the Horde).
Max Haly necromancy on animals is not evil though. Its the same with eating animals and eating humans. One is not evil, other is very evil.
There is nothing wrong with purging furries
The question I have is why does the alliance accept deathknight but not forsaken? It kinda the same thing in the end
@Valithor maybe but in both case it comes down to undead whith there free will and memory coming back to stormwind seeking what they think to be there home and in one case they killed them without even listening to what they have to say and in the other they still are walking amongst the living citizen of the town... that's some clear double standards.
I thought I detected a hint of buttress in this video, especially in the captions.
Compared to The Horde, the Alliance is still the good guys.
Nope. Just nope. All we ever did after we broke free of Guldan was in an effort to survive. All u did was in an effort to gain MORE POWER and to serve your fucked up holy light!
Horst Hooden from all Alliance races on Humans and Draenei serve the Light and Night Elfs are Elune followers, dwarves have shamanism and light but not as humans do. And Horde exactly did what they did for power. Alliance defended themself to survive when Horde kept coming at them screaming bloody murder.
@@horsthooden4600 What about Stonetalon? When you literally bombed a whole druid school away that did nothing but train young night elves the ways of a druid?
you don't define good or bad depending on those around you
@@marcelosamame4357 That's right. But it's a comparison. It's not about who's good. It's about who's BETTER.
I wouldn't say Dailin Proudmoore attacked the Horde without provocation (or at the very least, not without reason). He fought them in the second war, lost a portion of his fleet and his son to their Dragon riders. What he knew the Horde to be was savage Aliens from another world invading them to kill them all.
Basically, for him to see them establishing a new foothold without attacking the Horde, would be the same for us players to see the Burning Legion establishing a new foothold on the broken shore and just accept them as new residents to Azeroth.
As to Jaina defending them, that was all done very hastily and he might have thought he deceived or even mind controlled. After all we saw a lot of mortal palling up with legion or worshiping them , that dosent mean that Legion is to be trusted or welcomed.
The whole reason Thrall led the Horde to Kalimdor was to avoid further conflict with the Alliance. The endgame for Daelin was the complete genocide of all Horde races. Every last man, woman, and child. He proved that when he massacred the inhabitants of Razor Hill during the initial assault on Durotar.
He became the very evil he thought he was fighting. Even Anduin acknowledged Daelin was wrong.
@@Ultimaton100 It's not always black and white, when it comes to whats right or wrong. After witnessing the Horde putting the entire southern continent in ruin and almost managing to do the same with Lordaeron, can you really blame him for not giving them the benefit of the doubt? he acted upon what he knew the Horde to be. he knew of their warlocks and suspected they used Jaina against him, therefore he didn't listen to her either.
And the fact that the Horde decided to kill him, instead of showing their ability to show mercy and send him and the surviving men of his army back to Kul'Tiras, only confirmed to him he was right.
I wouldn't even say he became evil either. He simple fought and killed the Horde to prevent them to grow strong again to the point they could threaten his people and those of Lordaeron, which is what any good leader would do for his people and allies.
Mr Raptor So you’re saying it’s okay to kill children because of what their parents or grandparents did? Genocide is *always* a black and white issue. It’s never excusable under any circumstances.
Also, Daelin refused to surrender and he died in battle. At not point did he give the Horde opportunity to show him mercy, and he didn’t deserve it anyway. Again, he literally butchered children. You’re holding the Horde to higher standards than you’re holding him to. Why show mercy to someone who isn’t showing you or your people any? The Horde’s warriors were obligated to end his life to protect their loved ones.
Lastly, Daelin didn’t fight the Horde to try to prevent them from growing strong again. He would have taken prisoners if that were his goal. But he didn’t. He fought to exterminate them. He didn’t fight for his people or his allies, just his own selfish ambitions. He acted out of hatred and bloodlust, nothing more.
@@Ultimaton100 I'm not debating if what he did was right or wrong. It was clearly wrong, but he didn't know better and considering what the Horde did, I don't blame him for not believing the Horde had become better. He viewed the Horde as we viewed the Burning Legion. Something that had to be exterminated to secure our own world. We as players would have killed demon children too, believing them to be born evil.
You should try and look at it for Daelin's perspective and you could understand his reasons. It won't justify it, but you'll see the reason behind it.
It's a good skill to have, to analyses a situation from different perspectives and not be biased just because you like one side over the other.
even as an alliance main I know that we aint the goodygoods we act like. We like the horde wont let old wounds heal and keep old hatreds close.
*Laughs in tyrande and gaymane*
Yeaaah sure... Compare a lightnign strike operation to kill a King (who was offered a surrender) because his city was harbouring a Horde army and sent their own soldiers to assault Kul'Tiras with a full blown genocide against a surrendered landmass full of civilians and wiping out 1/3 of their race in one night. (Teldrassil WAS a landmass btw).
Btw dont listen to that vlad guy that replied hes a godamn stalker irl
@@Aganie. "stalker irl" whats that supposed to mean?

Say what you want about Tyrande and Genn. But their reactions are the most realistic when you consider all these other stupid fucking plot points blizzard forces. Let's keep the War and warcraft. Fuck this Horde council, fuck this High King nonsense.
Theremore was also a military target😏
Yeah, you are right. Basically Taurajo and other stuff in Southern Barrens happened because of foothold in Dustwallow.
in Theremore the horde killed everybody and had no intention to leave anyone alive. The Alliance let civilians go im Taurajo
@@grimsphax89 into quilboar territory where they were killed anway
@@grimsphax89 "the alliance let the civilians go" this sounded kinda funny
@@grimsphax89 The Alliance had week to evacuate and they did. Garosh delay his attack by at least two weeks and he did know that Baine told jaina that they were attacking. Until the attack on orgrimmar nearly no civilians casualty were counted, because they decided to put some in the city meaning that they attacked some before or after the fall of Theremor.
So in that regard Theremore bombing was at least as justified as Taurajo.
Didnt the Alliance also force neutral pandaren citizens to help them build an airbase? I remember a quest as the Horde about that
@Goku Black didnt “forced”. They signed up a contract to work for the Alliance in exchange for supplies but then Alliance found out that pandaren have no working ethics whatsoever and constantly take naps at work, leave when they feel like it and dont understand what “quick work” is. Basically that plus Sha stoking paranoia in the commander led to her ordering pandaren to be forced to comply to the work quotas. Meanwhile horde just enslaved local pandaren, but as “motivation” used their kids who were held hostage.
@@MrVlad12340 Basically they should have left the panda's alone.
The questlines in the Jade Forest are kind of a wash, because both factions have very similar storylines just at different points (North for Horde, South for Alliance) of the zone and allying with a different race. Both leaders (Nazgrim and I think Rell Nightwind) have a failure in battle, get half-possessed by Sha, get purified by Taran Zhu, free some native Pandaren who were strong armed into helping the opposing faction build a base, defeat an enemy leader who was fully taken over by the Sha, recruit the monkeys/fish, then head towards the battle of the Serpent's Heart. So bringing up any of this doesn't help or hurt the 'Alliance bad' narrative of the video.
Horde Bad (2 hour long video)
Jason Brode *3 hour.
@@MrVlad12340 100 hour long*
Yaaaaa no. Alliance aren't the "bad guy."
Maybe the right time to point out how many warchiefs the horde goes through after they screw a bunch of stuff up and how the alliance always needs to go fix it all. And Bolvar was left as Lich King.
Horde are cool though.
That pattern only started in Cata and doesn't hold as true as Ally would like, Vol'jin only made one "mistake" as Warchief and that was to appoint Sylv as his successor. As someone who actually agrees with her initial mentality when declaring war (the horde and the alliance will never have peace as it is, so let's fight this bitch out once and for all) it was still a bad decision and even worse to let his Loa decide. And before anyone brings it up, Broken Shore was not Horde's fault. Varian dying was the absolute best outcome for how stacked the odds were against both sides.
Siliuse as a matter of fact she knew that Shore will go FUBAR and didnt warned Vol’Jin since that was part of the scheme to get her atop of the Horde concocted by her and Jailer. So she is indeed responsible for all the crap, including Varian’s death. And factions were a split hair from peace and maybe even a path to dissolving factions and uniting as one Azeroth or just bunch of racial states without factions. But she ruined it.
@@MrVlad12340 I take all new Sylvanas stuff with a grain of salt. Ever since they decided Shadowlands would be the next expansion the amount of "YOU FOOLS, SHE WAS EVIL THE WHOOOOLE TIME AND IT WAS ALL A PART OF HER MASTER PLAN" has gotten ridiculous. Before long it will be revealed that she *meant* to have Arthas turn her into a banshee for more power, that's how ludicrous it feels in comparison to the writing of the time. I mean, in one of the official books Sylvanas literally thinks TO HERSELF that she doesn't want to be Warchief and this is during a time frame that according to her recently she did want to be Warchief. She's so good at lying, she even lies to herself and she believes it! Sylvanas becoming a main baddie was never out of the realm of possibility but the way Blizz is handling it is a complete mess.
Siliuse well, Vol’Jin was “helped” to die by Jailer and Jailer was in cahoots with her since post-WotLK, so this is not at all far fetched theory but rather a consistent fact.
@@MrVlad12340 The Jailer did not exist as a character pre-BFA. Not only that but there was literally no hint of him until then because they wanted to retcon how Sylvanas became Warchief. Some people also like to point to when you speak with Vol'jin's spirit but while he hints that it felt like there was something wrong with him during Broken Shore, it doesn't remotely hint at The Jailer impersonating his Loa. That came even later into BFA's life cycle. The earliest hint is in the Edge of Night short story where it was left intentionally ambiguous and once again, written during BFA. The fact that we are only just now learning about this extremely powerful being who according to the writers plays a huge role in WoW's cosmology when we've known about The Shadowlands for at least two expansions...and yet we're just learning about this guy who we're being told has been meddling since WotLK. It's hokey writing when you have to make a whole new character to dig yourself out of the hole you made with another one in terms of logic and straight up betraying canon.

I was going to defend all points one by one but your video is good enough on its own.
I still believe the alliance is clearly the good guy in the story. This is part because I hold the horde also accountable for acts done by the hordes of different names maining: Garroshs horde, Guldans horde, Blackhands horde ect. They are all the same faction just in a line through time.
Black hand..... srsly....I believe your trying to say Guldan....
@@badrinath5306 they were both monsters.
The Alliance is obviously morally better, but they aren’t as morally good as they are made out to be.
Ahahahahaahahahah. Gods, imagine if we held Alliance to the same standard. Dwarves responsible for digging the fucking old gods out of the dirt why don't ya?
Felony and Horde responsible for destroying a planet. And unlike Brann (once) discovering an Old God by chance they did it on purpose. And Yogg Saron was awakened anyway, Brann or no Brann.
Majority of these leave out key pieces of information and are seemingly intentionally misleading.
1-Jaina's Purge of Dalaran: Aethas knew they toke the bell, and didn't stop them. The leader she talked to and tried twice for him to confess and work with her didn't. Only after his refusal did they take down his guards and go for the purge. The bell in question was an awful artefact that would have done extreme harm to the horde and alliance both if Garrosh got to use it and only where stopped because of Anduin. During the ToT story line multiple altercations occur where Lor'themar feigns ignorance of the bell and Aethas shys away multiple times to confessing his sins. Her goal wasn't exile, it was detainment to find the culprits, she knew not everyone was a guilt but because Aethas wouldn't help, everyone was a suspect and this was too dangerous of an item to shrug away.
2-Camp Taurajo: You forgot to mention innocents where killed by the looters because they where ex prisoners, they where then killed or arrested by alliance players. Also, the camp wasn't training your run of the mill hunter warrior, but Kor'kron, Garrosh's own force. They where a vital military target especially considering Garrosh's expansion north.
3-Unprovoked attack on stormheim: This is wow's fault. Originally it was intended that you would go from Azsuna to Val'Sharah to Highmountain to Stormheim. During the Azsuna questline the alliance find a letter on a horde sailor informing them of Sylvanas's planned attack on Stormheim. This is what is intended to lead on to the questline in Stormheim, said quest is still in the game as a lootable quest with a turn in with Greymane, nothing connected or leading from it. In cannon Greymane knew about the plan to capture the Valkyries, oh and she brought plague there.
4-Attack on Dazar'Alor: The Zandalari trolls where letting the horde using there city as a base. They had already had the attack on Brennadam. The unprovoked attack on a kul'tiran town with no alliance military set up where they mostly killed and also specifically brutalised civilians. Even during the alliance assault they had given full plans to avoid civilian causalities. This one is jumping through so many hoops to try and act as if the alliance ain't saints during this conflict.
5-Silithus: This would have a strong point, the alliance striked first, unprovoked, and with intent to kill against non combative forces. Except you entirely ignored that Azeroth woke up Magni to tell all the horde and Alliance leaders, before the mining, that hey, Azeroth is bleeding, don't hurt her more and try and help her. Sylvanas got the message and lied that she would before having the goblins do exactly what the world soul said not to do. Oh and the tauren fully agreed with healing azeroth and where to go south as well to help heal the wound, hence why there leaders weren't present during the attack on Darkshore. Sylvanas's preparations toke place prior to the magni meeting, but she ordered it to continue following.
6-The goblin attack: This is a good example of over aggression. The only left out info is the treaty was broken by Garrosh, the alliance weren't aware that Thrall was doing Earthern Ring business and not horde warmongering. But none the less, a good example of alliance going too far. Oh and the goblins didn't join the horde. Gallywix did and he owns the lives of all goblin player characters.
7-Stonespear Tribe: Clear cut alliance being the offenders with no redeeming factor. Should be mentioned that this isn't the first altercation like this or last and both the Nelf's and Tauren oppose the Dwarven archaeological efforts.
8-Undead emissaries: This was a retcon from the chronicles and it even specifically notes that Sylvanas 'claims' to have sent letters with non returning. And the alliance have no knowledge of this what so ever, and it's nothing something they would need to hide. "Hey, you know those moral-less rotting corpses lead by the women who betrayed the previous alliance High General, yea, she reached out to be allies, sounds good right?"
9-Alliance bad for not liking an undead in stormwind. Shocker. Shit point considering Turalyon instantly changed his view and Greymane in the same book came to accept the undead and had empathy for them.
Daelin Proudmoore attacked a group of armed Orcs. His only encounters where them as the aggressors, there is no reason he wouldn't be immediately be aggressive and proven right. The interment camps was another example of the alliance being overly empathetic, not bad. Arthas, really?
The Elves after being informed by Malygos, who was sane at the time, that it was an over use and careless use of arcane magic that attracted Sargeras. The Elves of Kalimdor under the leadership of Malfurion and Tyrande said, ok, no arcane. The highbourne where ostracised because they didn't agree, they also started summoning demons. The High Elves of Kalimdor went a number of ways. Those of Quel'Thalas had the Sunwell to sustain them and also turned to fel, oh and torturing a Naaru. Other High Elves community broke there addiction. Those of the silver covenant used artifacts and weaned themself of there magical addiction and those of the Lodges, in particular Quel'Danil lodge, broke there own addiction by sheer will. And given that you could make more points for why the Blood Elves are bad, or even why the Nightborne are bad, it's a huge reach to call out the Night Elves to do a thing they where advised to by those older wiser and trusted to guide them, oh and where also proven right.
If you think Yrel is being unreasonable for wanting to convert the Orcs then you are implying that the Draenei's lives are simply worth less than the full freedom of the orcs, as there is no question that with time the Orcs will raid again, as they always have done and they Draenei will die unless they strike first. The argument against Yrel is primarly based that a great Naaru tried to convert illidan, and he refused and killed her for it. But Illidan has been either a anti-villain or villain from introduction till now, not once has he been a good person, trying to purge him made perfect sense, gotta remember he is all for mental enslavement, straight up slavery, needless torture, the torture of souls, and the list goes on.
You had two strong points, the rest have too many flaws.
Regarding the last point; His argument also completly disregards how the Iron Horde under Alt-Grommashs leadership had been gearing up for Genocide just as in the canon time line, with their blood magic mainly using Draenei captives. Ner'Zhuls alliance with the void lords was completely detached from this altogether and would have had the potential to destroy Draenor, and Grommash went ahead and welcomed him into the Iron Horde anyway. If it weren't for their Velen, their most senior leader, sacrificing himself to stop Ner Zhuls plan, it even would have worked.
1. Not to mention that Jaina saw several of her friends die due to a traitor Blood Elf Kirin Tor mage sabotaging the gate at Theramore.
Horde players: SeE?! tOlD yOu AlLiAnCe Is BaD!
The reason why players play horde is because horde is evil and badass
Well no, I play horde because the lore characters are better, and the horde version of events are fun, and because of the goblins, nightbornr, vulpera, and blood elves

Oh wait, there isn't one
@sassy muffin true af
@@laurenford3951 its more about that Alliance lore is under developed compared to Horde. All the important lore characters from other human kingdoms are either dead or entirely irrelevant while horde's main characters are still part of the lore.
Unfortunately Horde was the main focus since TBC, alliance is secondary.
To clarify some things, Jaina acted on her own and Varyan told her off for it during the purge of Dalaran and they did turn a blind eye to Garrosh's actions and then lied to Jaina's face. And Camp Taurajo was an act of war during war times, a war that the horde started without provocation with the invasion of Ashenvale and the events that unfolded at Theramore. The Alliance also tried to minimize casualties and actually arrested and killed those who took it too far and disobeyed orders. As mentioned in the video, Baine himself doesn't even hold it over the alliance. Then there's Genn's attack on the forsaken which was hardly unjustified, like, are we really gonna forget the events of Cataclysm? He had two reasons. Firstly, vengeance for the horrific and yet again, unprovoked genocidal invasion of Gilneas where they used chemical weapons to destroy his kingdom and killed his son. Secondly, the alliance at this point believed that the horde had betrayed them causing Varyan's death.
What we're left with is the attack on the goblins and the dwarves attacking the tauren for not letting them excavate their ancestral lands. These two events while certainly bad, take place on a pretty small scale. And to be honest, anything the alliance did in the fourth war was 110% justified after Teldrassil and all the other shit Sylvanas pulled. Teldrassil was one of the most horrific events in the Warcraft story and Blizzard themselves have on numerous occasions literally referred to it as genocide. It was far worse than Theramore and the purge of Dalaran. It rivals the draenei genocide on Draenor. It was real bad.
Buhu, alluance are good rest bad. You cant compare kill... Plz shut up. Bouth side have crap on the shoes. Like countrys in real world. No way justify it.
Bakuryu Kenji you really going for that one? Can you compare a theft with murder? Which is worse? Murder. Horde basically commits mass murder while worst thing Alliance did was groceries theft.
To clarify your clarification
She imprisoned/exterminated entire population due to actions of a fraction of them. Random people and civilians that had nothing to do with it.
Taurajo was an actio during wartime - that lead to death of civillians. Alliance did not killed them - they just forced them to walk into a death trap.
Justification has nothing to do with it. Alliance and Horde were in a pact of nonagression and working together against LEgion at the time. Genn decided himself to break this treaty off, attack and risked the entire operation to extract Titan Artifact, risking the failure of the only plan Azeroth had against Legion. He risked, quite literally, everyone's lives for his vengence. Belief about Varian death is not a factor - peace treaty is a peace treaty, they broke it.
But if we accept your logic - then Forsaken attack on Gilneas was justified. A long awaited revenge of not Forsaken - but people of Loarderon that Gilneas left to the mercy of the scourge years ago,
And yes, without a doubt, Teldrassil was a tragedy of, as far as my lore knowledge tells me, unprecedented scale. But just because someone commited grand crime we cannot just ignore existance of a smaller one. To use a comparison - just because Hitler and the Nazis commited horrific atrocities, that does not mean Stalin or Mao were not monsters.
To your point of the Alliance troops being sent to Theramore Rhonin was Explicit in his orders that they were SOLEY to defend Theramore. They would NOT attack.
You guys have to realise that the Horde is so bad that the writers are forced to pull Alliance war crimes out of their asses to make it at least a little bit balanced.
If anything the Alliance did way too little to the Horde given their antics.
the alliance really didn't enough if we compare it to the horde.
Yep....given how the horde is allways like "WE HAVE TO DEFEND AGAINST THE EVIL ALLIANCE" like the Alliance tried to kill them at every meeting, at every time and any spot since they the orcs came to Azeroth "peacefully" (Lol..)...
@@Fion355 When? You mean like at the Highlands where horde BUTCHERED both sides civilians because they were afraid of peace? Or when they came from Draenor for the first time, wiping out every single civilian they see without even a remote attempt to have any diplomacy. Or when Horde broke peace by assaulting Ashenvale twice without a single provocation?
Alliance quite literally never waged War on Horde, they always reacted to their assault and you would know that if you knew a single thing about horde.
The fact that horde came here because they just needed something to kill and claim all resources , corrupted as fuck, doesn’t mean anything to someone who gets a hard one when he sees horde? It would never happen all of this if orcs didn’t came to Azeroth and started their own faction like honorable
Yo, what's the addon that makes quest dialogue look like cutscenes?
i wanted to know too
It should be called Storyline
“Catch the wind” or something like that.
Oh, or that, mb
"Immersion" or something I think?
Much of this list is complete nonsense.
3. Greymanes attack.
There was no longer a truce after the Broken Shore, where the Horde seemingly left the Alliance to die...and none of the Horde leaders ever bothered to explain why they had to fall back, leaving the Alliance with only assumptions...and considering that only two years back a warchief of the Horde started another rampage across the world...yeah. (And no during the time Shaw was already replaced by a dreadlord and as such SI:7 was not able to give exact information.)
4. Alliance killing Rastakhan.
How exactly was this a problem in any way? The Zandalari let the Horde use their harbor and city as a staging ground for its troops and armies, which will obviously make you a target in a world war. Oh, and Zul and Talanji burned down Stormwind and destroyed several ships of the Alliance...making the attack even more justified. Oh, and Talanji? Sailing with a known criminal, and trying to reach the Horde while said Horde is at war with another superpower for essentially world domination is a terrible idea.
5. Alliance attacking first in Silithus.
Yeah...what about that dwarven and Sentinel expedition which got completely killed and wiped out by goblin miners who then captured a gnome and forced her to build weapons for them?
8. Forsaken emmisaries
There's absolutely no statement anywhere that the Alliance ever attacked any emmissaries at all. Chronicles only states that said emmisaries never returned. The journey from Lordaeron to Stormwind is a long and perilous one. There's absolutely zero information if the Alliance attacked them or not and it's pure speculation.
The "iffy"-Alliance things...well...if we count them then Gul'dan was also part of the Horde. Outside of that none of these things comes even close to the fact that the Horde has committed a literal genocide in BfA. Unless the Alliance nukes Thunderbluff with all civilians still inside, the factions will never be equal in moral terms.
I can Just say the Horde Video would be Double or even three Times longer than this.
And that if we only take Horde since Thrall and so on. If we take Warcraft 1 - 2 Horde it will quadruple the length.
@@MrVlad12340 thats why He dont make a Horde Video because He know than that Video would be so dumb Like His "why Varian die" Video.
Shut up
@@jotarodragneel3347 shut up, and varian died because of the burning legion, not the horde
@@Azure_clematis14 Varian died because he trusted the horde to hold the flank. Or if we use information from the Shadowlands then he died because Sylvanas and Jailer “helped” Voljin to die and so led to horde’s flank collapse.
I don’t understand half of stuff you are trying to argue. Barrens is heavily contested territory and Alliance and Horde always have skirmishes regardless of peace treaties as we can see in the game.
Forsaken were at the time same undead who slaughtered so many people during the 3rd war. So were they supposed to welcome them back full of trust with open arms?
Jaina exiling blood elves over a treason- honestly it’s the LEAST she could do considering what they did to her.
When you say stuff has been done for no reason whatsoever i can’t help but wonder if you read all events revolving around.
Also Arthas alliance argument is same like me saying Horde/orcs actually had the first lich king vessel aka Nerzhul
Killing unarmed civilians who aren’t involved in the war effort is never justified. The Barrens wasn’t contested territory until the Alliance invaded it at the start of Cataclysm.
The Forsaken weren’t part of the Scourge at the time the Alliance started killing them.
The Sunreavers never betrayed Jaina or committed treason.
When I saw "Alliance Bad" in the thumbnail I thought this was a pvp video :D

@@MrVlad12340 But it WAS OP. Even my veteran wow player friend who played all the races and classes back in wotlk, cata days said that people even agreed to not use it in pvp and it was really dishonorable if you did.

You wouldnt want any of the horde races except Taurens or belfs perhaps, living with us on earth. While only worgens would really be a problem from the alliance side
Er...but Jaina isn’t alliance. Even before BFA she wasn’t alliance. Her attempts at cross faction alliances is like...a core part of her character and backstory. I mean I guess technically she is ally now bc of the Kul Tirans joining the alliance, but that’s recent and long after the purge of Dalaran.
After the purge Jaina broke the Kirin'Tor's neutrality and it became a faction of the Alliance, with her as its leader. Jaina has been Alliance ever since.
@@danu2133 For like 5 mins until she left the Kirin Tor to Khadgar and the Kirin Tor became neutral again. And TBH I wouldn't consider her a faction leader even during that time. Not like Varian and the rest. And in between those two events she helped during the Siege of Org. The purge of Dalaran had nothing to do with the Alliance and everything to do Jaina and the city itself. It was literally a brief civil war in Dalaran.
@@danu2133 incorrect, the kirin tor already sided with the alliance when they decided to help theramore and the horde killed rhonin.
