Granted, we are seeing Baine take over the position of Chieftan of the Tauren, but that doesn't mean Cairne dies. We know that Cairne is old, so he could be stepping down due to age. We know that Thrall is gonna be helping at Hyjal, so he could be heading over there to help his good friend out.
This is something else. As leader of the horde, Thrall is also my favourite character in lore, sort of he who represents the 'noble savage' qualitiy I admire about the horde so much.
But if Garrosh is being put at the head of orgirmmar, and Thrall is being put as just an npc in hyjal or maybe one or two other events, this is almost like pushing Thrall to the back of the crowd, having him the background into of in the foreground where he should be.

You know, theres something else as well that worries me immensely.
Someone linked a picture on another thread here that showed an image of Lothar, as he was leading a child having saved her. As we all know, lothar was a beacon of hope for many, and a great leader, and did many great things...
But Lothar died, in combat with Orgrim, so saying despite the good deeds he did, the people still lost there hope in him. Likewise, Doomhammer have strength and hope to the orcs as there leader, and yet when he died, that hope was lost.
I've got this fear now, that in showing Thrall as the kind of hero he is on par with Lothar, that if that wouldn't make him into a martyr, as a method of destorying hope to the horde in having the best thing thats happened to it being killed off.
If, of course, blizzard did do this, I would quit wow, uninstall it, and post it back to blizzard saying where they can stick it.

IF they make Thrall the New Guardian, I can Guarantee he will give his life to save the world...
The most selfless act in the HISTORY of Warcraft (rivaled only by or if not better than Broxigar)...
A
TRUE
Orcish death...
Something like that would make him immortal...
You LOVE Thrall...I see this ...but even you couldnt be mad at that...
Especially if they make it a badass cinematic, like Grom...
Something like that just may inspire Lord Varok Saurfang to lead the Horde...
Thrall dies a heroic death as a method of
restoring
hope in the Horde. Then Varok Leads a band of Horde to Orgrimmar to destroy Garrosh...
Cataclysm ends in cinematic style with a LOK'VADNOD to Thrall by Varok himself.
LOK'TAR O'GAR! FOR THE HORDE! Thats a big %^&* you to the Alliance...
Your right. I do love Thrall. He is the very reason I am with the horde now, why I defend it so much, and the balance of his character, not just as leader, but him being the most unique orc in any story I've seen from any genre, is the very reason I admire the horde so much.
But, to keep playing that side, or keep defending something when the very reason I'm there were to be taken out, would be just a hollow thing for me, not having any reason to carry on with it or pretend that I'm happy with the direction they took if that did happen.
It would be like, to me, if they just snuffed out Wolverine from the x-men comics, and by that I mean permanently, not just pretending to snuff him out and bringing him back a month later. The reason I enjoy x-men so much is because of seeing my favourite characters in it, not just because 'its x-men'.
This goes for warcraft too. Thrall has become for me the opitomy of what warcraft represents. I love his character and knowing he is so unique to any other orc, being raised by humans but leading his people with such honorable intensions.
To kill off a character that I admire so much, even if its done in some big, flashing self sacrificing way, it doesn't give me any reason to carry on pretending to be happy with the story anymore.
But, if they can develop Thralls character in cataclysm, have him do things so peoples flacked opinion of him changes, then that would indeed be a positive step in showing just why I admire him so much.
If they instead though start to develop him, and then kill him off to save the world, I'll just say 'fu*k you blizzard' and leave wow for good.
