A new in-game sequence from World of Warcraft reveals that the leaders of the Alliance are not entirely in agreement. We reveal what happens.
Last night, a new version of Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance was deployed to the PTR of World of Warcraft. In addition to the cool mount from Lady Jaina Proudmoore, there was also a new, short in-game sequence to view. This sequence involves High King Anduin Wrynn and Tyrande Whisperwind.
Spoiler Alert: If you don’t want to know details about Patch 8.1, you should not continue reading.
“My people need action, not excuses”
Anduin asks for patience: The short sequence is shown as an intro video for the Battle for Darkshore and takes place in the castle of Stormwind. Anduin and Tyrande discuss the course of the war.
The player arrives just as Anduin refuses to send the Alliance troops to Darkshore. He wishes it were different, but with the war in Zandalar and Arathi, the troops are already scattered. Furthermore, there have been significant casualties, and he asks the High Priestess of the Night Elves for a bit more patience.
Tyrande doesn’t want to wait: Tyrande has little faith in Anduin’s words. She and her people do not want to “waste away in Stormwind while the Forsaken desecrate their lands.” Even at Anduin’s renewed plea for a bit more patience, the leader of the Night Elves stands firm and ultimately makes the decision:
“If the Alliance does not want to help us, then we will do it alone.”
It is somewhat surprising that Prophet Velen simply stands there silently and does not comment on the topic. After all, the Exodar, the capital of the Draenei, is near Darkshore and the former Teldrassil …
The War of Battle for Azeroth demands not only sacrifices from the individual races but also erodes the trust among the allies. Whether this will have an even greater impact on the unity of the Alliance remains to be seen.
Something similar is happening with the Horde: There, a resistance is forming against Sylvanas.
