Skoll Shorties

Do they? Let's be honest its an artificial problem that gets used to explain OTHER storylines but never actually matters. There's never a lack of Forsaken characters. It's a fake issue we're supposed to care about. In fact being endangered could be a cool story for them.

They -do not- kill Forsaken. Not forsaken civilians (vs every NE on Teldrassil dying basically) nor their character (belmont freeing himself from Tyrande's Moonfire prison, the only forsaken char to die was Zelling a patch after we met him)

Except the 1 in Before the Storm. But yeah. I agree.

Also, reflecting again on that idea of "shortage of characters" being an illusion to players: I think the only rage that actually is true for is Gnomes? Even Darkspear trolls have characters besides Vol'jin: Rohkan, Gadrin, Zen'tabra, Vanira... minor characters but only because

of writer neglect. Tauren dont have that issue either: it's an illusion caused by them never representing taurencharacters. They have Hamuul, Aponi, Dezco, Perith, Stormsong, and Magatha (who, thinking on it, those last 2 would fit this Forsaken centered horde storyline so well!)

Draenei are pretty close too. They really only have Velen. Maraad was killed off.

Velen, Nobundo, and Akama are all I can really think of yeah. Romuul isn't really much of a character.

Nobundo and Akama are used very, very sparingly, though. Akama is even less so. I would say HORDE-aligned Goblins also fall into this category. They should just make Gazlowe a Horde character instead of trying to pretend he's neutral. Gazlowe is a super cool secondary character
