Ah, yes, the one leading the ceremony from the beginning to the end is Liadrin, with the goddamn Regent Lord of the nation doing nothing to add to the reunification of Thalassians.
And on top of that, the speech is all about Blood Elves beating themselves over for being meanies towards Alliance-aligned Thalassians out of fear.
First of all, the majority of still-High Elf Thalassians were those Kael never managed to gather together after the Scourge attack (most of whom were outside of Quel'Thalas altogether, like those in Outland, Dalaran or the lodges beyond their borders. Those exiled for refusal to siphon magic were just those at Quel'Lithien.
Secondly, as Lor'themar put it, he couldn't lead a nation divided, so it doesn't paint it as a case where those Elves just went oh, I couldn't possibly, but created some significant unrest.
Thirdly, by suffering magic withdrawal on principle, they created a risk of gorging on the first source of magic they do eventually find until they become Wretched. Which is precisely what they did in Cataclysm. Which made them a security risk right when the kingdom was two legs and one hand in an open grave.
As for the Void Elves, they deliberately disobeyed the orders of the Grand Magister. They also dabbled in magic dangerous to the font of power keeping the Thalassians functional.
And they were banished from Silvermoon specifically, not Quel'Thalas altogether. They left the Ghostlands all on their own, just so they could follow Alleria and learn from her.
But alas, they are all Alliance so they can do no wrong and the Horde side has to kow tow in front of them to obtain their forgiveness.

The Silver Covenant and Sunreavers are gone. Blizzard's obsession with ending faction conflict goes all the way back to Pandaria so it's been 14 years now.
I really never had a problem with faction conflict and the continued obsession with ever bigger threats that require ignoring those personal, intense memories and emotions on each side. that's not the direction I would have gone.
It's bizzare because as usual the expansion has a lot of heart and everything feels neat and pressed, but the literal foundation of the game was that there was all there was, two factional sides fighting each other.
I guess based on that you could say Blizzard's obsession with ending basically the essence of the franchise goes back to when they started canonizing official things about WC2 and WC1 and the movie and everything.
. It's kind of like how Sephiroth never dies in Final Fantasy sort of deal, or Ganon in Zelda, the mainstay franchises gaming are just making story errors that IMO dramatically undercut it all.
I hope people enjoy it anyway somehow, but at this point my honest question for Blizzard is simply, ok, so what happens after this Worldsoul Saga Does anyone even fight anything ever again Or is it just world peace has been achieved and the game ends
I mean honestly is there a limit to this.

Ya know i kinda hate that sylvanas can just pop up whenever she feels like it and shoot an arrow. Now the plot needs to explain why she cannot just do that when shes needed or why she hasn't done that more. Busy in the maw isn't a good enough excuse. That scene is just supposed to be an oh shit moment but it falls flat if you think about it for a bit. I also still hate sylvanas character passed cataclysm and she should have died in BFA.

The Sunwell:
A font of mystical waters, originally empowered with waters of the Well of Eternity, cleansed with the heart of M'uru, named in honor of Dath'remar Sunstrider.
The Darkwell:
Infused with the void energies of L'ura, after being empowered by Xal'thath
The DaWnWeLl:
Restored SOMEHOW with a crown, a grapefruit, a void pebble, moonwell water and pretty words.

I still love Warcraft, but man do these plotlines feel exhausted and devoid of any meaning. Generic villain, stopped by the power of friendship. Could have been interesting, if it wasn't used for Archimonde some 23 years ago. And used time and time again after. Come, Blizzard, where is the passion and the fire of your writing

Lets be honest: this is the windrunner saga now. And i can already tell they are setting up one of them to be the savior by the end of the last titan. Its going to be like the end of starcraft 2 where kerrigan gains the power of a xelnaga god and alongside the other races they fight and kill the big bad void god Amon.

What a shitshow
Millenias of friction resolved in a matter of hours
Who would've thunk you could cleanse a void well just by putting some trinkets in it
I should feel bad for anyone still paying a monthly fee for this shitshow but I really can't. You deserve this.

The last few expansions bringing peace between all the factions is pretty Lame, secretly hoping that the writers are in a wrapping up warcraft story phase and the next phase will be sustained period of ongoing conflicts between factions erupting in the world.

Where light and shadow exist in perfect balance.
Oh. Well Dawnwell is nice. Duskwell would have been almost as good.
Personally, I would have gone with Twilightwell. But then the San'layn would show up and sparkle a lot for no reason.

The Shadowlands are not what they seem
YES. Honestly, retcon that place as much as you like. Make the jailer just some wee little pawn in a greater scheme. There’s one expansion I wouldn’t mind seeing belittled by new lore!

This whole void vs light thing is really kinda lame. Maybe if we are lucky Bolvar with take control of the shadow lands and become the lich king again atleast. The Windrunners just need to be taken out honestly

So, wait, Alleria and Turalyon are gone After fighting for millennia against the Burning Legion, Ms FeetPics beats them in some lame ass in-game cinematic
Please tell me I'm missing something.

Where tf is illidan and malfurion Swear those dudes get sidelined more than I like. No doubt we will see them in the last titan. Titan stuff just begs sargeras to come back into the story

They've cleaned the darkwell and shutting it down, and made it a symbol as the dawnwell. Not relevant anymore as a font of power.
Just making it clear for the people who didn't understand.

The most retconned character returns in order to be retconned again.
Sylvanas herself said one couldn't leave, but suddenly she knows of ways. What in the world is this garbage writing

an interesting detail i noticed when you see Sylvanas' Arrow it has that wobble in it that arrows will do when fired. It's didn't need to be there but it is and I'm surprised I noticed it.
