    Concerning Mal'Ganis.. It's been revealed he is living under the guise of Barean Westwind, and that he has done exactly as his brother Balnazzar has done: Taken control of the Scarlet faction stationed in Northrend, the Scarlet Onslaught. He has not died, and is currently plotting revenge against the Lich King, so he may prove to be an ally of sorts with the patch releasing the Ice Crown instance, though I doubt many will trust him. He'll also be the final boss the Caverns of Time Stratholme instance,

    the only char that really supplied to the lore while being killed off was varimathras, the rest just got ravaged

    edit: found the link to one of the coolest quests ever: http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Darkness_Stirs it is the start of the quests series with varimathras and putress betrayal

    About Wrath of the lich king i love the Fact how they continue the Paladins lore

    where the knights of sliver hand been shattered by arthas spit into scarlet crusade and argent dawn then reforge into the argent crusade led by the all time 1 true tirion fording one of the most bad ass paladin human ever live beside uther, turlyon, pre dk arthas, Alexandros Mograine and other 1st founders of the sliver hand. tirion is turly the devot of light he has selflessly help all doesnt be it the orcs or whoever which uther and other knights of sliver hand during the past lacks the forgiveness of one of the quality a fellower of light must have. here the link for the battle for the chapel of light remake in a quite epic way and make some note darion Morgraine is the son of alexandros wanted to save his father from damnation he take up the corrupted ashbringer and jab into his heart and free his father from undeath and doom himself to become a death knight and serve the lich king in replacment of his father

    ok, time for something i though WoW showed excellent: the new horde and the new alliance
    ill start off with the new alliance consisting of 3 parts, the original alliance, Jaina's alliance and i think ill call them "the good guys"
    the original alliance concists of the kingdom of Stormwind, the two light dwarfen kingdoms and the gnomeregan exiles. These people hate the Horde more then any of the other alliance factions do, mostly due the first 2 wars. When the forsaken led by varimathras betrayed them they were the ones to start the war with the horde, without listening to Jaina or apparently the good guys
    Then there are the good guys, consisting of the Draenai and the Night Elves, they are new to the alliance, and joined because they believed they would do the right thing (not official, but you can conclude it from their ideals, and the fact that they could have chosen the horde as well(Also fought and won from the legion)) They arent very fond of the Horde, seeing as they cut down parts of ashenvale, and, even though they protect their own forests, wouldnt attack horde territory.
    Then there is Jaina's alliance, consisting of the people who are led by Jaina, they have fought side by side with the horde and the Night Elfs, and thus have little hate of the horde(at least the light horde) and probably were the ones to invite the Night Elfs in the first place.

    then for the horde, there are 4 factions: The light horde, the dark horde, the quel'dorei and the revengalists
    The light horde consists of the warsong and frostwolf orc clans, most taurens, the darkspear trolls and the dustwallow marsh ogres. They joined the horde not because they had no choice, but rather because they believed in Thrall's ideals, they get along with Jaina just fine, have small quarrels with the good guys and are hated by the original alliance
    then there is the dark horde, consisting of Undercity, that one troll tribe in lordaeron and the grimtotem tauren, they hate Jaina's alliance and the old alliance alike, even trying to create a war against Jaina once, and only joined the horde to form a stronger faction.
    Then there are the Quel Dorei, who have a dislike of the old and jaina's alliance, and an all out war with the good guys(Shooting down the exodar, their towns getting raided by NE). They joined the horde because they sought help to rebuild their former power, travel to outland and the because of the strong ties with the forsaken leader
    Then there are the revengalists, which isnt a faction, more like a type of ally. Revengalists joined the horde because they wanted help getting rid of old enemies, whom the horde already was at war with. The two revengalist groups are the Taunka and the maghar, the Taunka lean towards the light horde ideals and the mag'har are currently leaning towards dark horde ideals.


    I hoped i explained this well, though i needed to make up some terms along the way

    I don't get it. Do you mean this as a new faction setup for like, WoW 2? Because I doubt that they can change the faction of the Blood Elves in this version. Even if they wanted to.

    I would prefer to have a neutral faction along with aliance an horde. Your plan is cool, but travel between differen faction areas would become extremely messed up. -Can you attack or not? etc.- A neutral faction could containg new races. Like the ones that are now creep races, such as pandaren. Or even entirely new ones. They would OR get some sort of faction points to ge privileges, OR only choose sides in battlegrounds, raids etc.

    its not a suggestion, its really what the horde and the alliance consist of(though inofficially), as you can see in many quests, for an example, a questseries in dustwallow marsh where the forsaken and grimtotem are trying to start a war with the alliance.
    and the NE actually attacked the ghostlands, they have 3 outposts there. and the draenai mention that the BE shot the exodar down

    I have a question about the 3 war, why didnt the scourge and burning legion attack stormwind and ironforge?
    is it simply because archimonde was at a rush to destroy the world tree and have his revenge at the night elves?
    because it is simply knowned that kil'jaeden is very much of a tactician and would kill the eastern kingdoms before going to kalimdor?

    why would he kill the eastern kingdoms and IF, any enemy he fought there(those include Deathwing, Nefarian and ragnaros) would cost him troops, those areas would have been exterminated anyways when he got the world tree

    only thought that the world tree would destroy the night elves immortality as it did? not destroying the entire world.

    edit:
    from wowwiki
    "Nordrassil, which means "Crown of the Heavens", was the original World Tree planted on the summit of Mount Hyjal after the War of the Ancients. It was blessed by the Dragon Aspects to grant immortality to the night elves and to allow their druids to enter the Emerald Dream. The power was unleashed after the Battle of Mount Hyjal. "

    it would have given archimonde incredible power, and nature would slowly have died
