Skoll Shorties

Not really, if Zul was alive the entire sequence of events would be different.

I suppose that's true.

You could even keep it the same and exchange living Rastakhan as the enemy the Alliance fights to a resurrected/Bwonsamdi-controlled Rastakhan and the Horde's version is they fight Bwonsamdi to free Talanji from the promise/curse that her father forced upon her.

I could see that. Though what would drive the Zandalari to keep fighting for the Horde? The raid itself is to push the Zandalari closer to the Horde than ever before.

That the Horde fought to save their new Queen from a cursed fate and then defended their capital from the Alliance? The exact same thing that happens in live. Rastakhan dying to the Alliance makes Talanji want vengeance, but that isn't the reason she reaffirms her loyalty.

Alright that works I guess. But this where we're at unfortunately. I do think the Bwonsamdi and his Boss are meant to be set up for future stories after BfA or near its end. It is unfortunate how Zul was handled.

Bwonsamdi is just another Loa, I think people are severely overestimating him.
