Skoll Shorties

Okay after a certain point I really have to step in and offer my perspective- this shouldn't be an ALL or NOTHING discussion. People justifiably criticize Anduin for deciding the best approach is a moral one- "Break the cycle" by not doing anything, when it's naive at best.

While I hate to drag in real life discussions of war crimes and what happens to a genocidal regime after they fall, you kind of have to do that in this discussion. The idea being shoved on us is that the Horde is divided into camps, with one being dominant after Saurfang won.

We have the "Slyvanas Loyalists" who carried out her whims and her orders, and were pushed out of the Horde, and we have the "Saurfang Loyalists" who were simply being bullied and pushed around and did things out a fear to their family and life.

But that's entirely incorrect and feels as if it's simply ignoring how this situation would go in real life. What about opportunists? What about people who committed warcrimes during the actual campaigns but weren't loyal to Sylvanas? How many of those were there?

There's no real way to know, because the Horde is fundamentally not being held accountable. They're being taken for their word that the bad apples are expunged because they took down any card carrying loyalist left after Slyvanas dropped out. But that's simply not *enough.*

It feels a bit like "Kicking the dog while it's down" but I really would only be satisfied if I saw actual longterm consequences being applied to the Horde as a military faction- even if just in books and writing. Keep them from building massive armies, and put on TRIALS.
