They don't show much of the Arakkoa in Kilroggs lord of war, might be outcasts. But it's probably the same veil/camp as we see in hellfire. All I remember from it is trying to find a Kaliri of the right gender for a blood elf.
Speaking of Veils, there was a arakkoa veil in the northwestern corner of blades edge, methinks it's a island from near netherstorm that slamed into the mainland after that one mage used one to many portals in outland.
Other thinga missing in the headcount is sporeggar and the rock flayers. There is a mission for our followers to find flayers but find nothing in rock flayer island. There is also a podling having a vision of a sporeling in shadowmoon. Might be a sign for how evolution went?

I doubt the Arakkoa in Kilrogg's episode were outcasts. The orcs were clearly afraid of an enemy that could hit them from the sky.
A theory I have is that the majority of the flying arakkoa were in Arak, and when Draenor became outland, the majority died. The flying arakkoa in tanaan were then picked off by the horde, since that was their main bulk of operations. The outcasts later expanded onto it once the orcs were no longer numerous in Outland, since a large chunk of the clans crossed over to azeroth.

That might be true.
But I belive that when draenor became outland the curse of sethe spread. Eaither by the explosion or that the flying arakkoa emrabced sethe in their despair for their fallen home and goverment.
There is in my opinion to many outcasts in outland compared to draenor. And wind serpents are alive in outland while not so in draenor.

I like this theory, but the pools of sethe went away with the rest of arak, so how would the flying arakkoa become the flightless version?.
As for how many outcasts are there in outland, if I'm not mistaken, they can still reproduce. At least I don't remember anything about the curse of sethe rendering them sterile.

By spreading it from it's cursed members? Like a infection? Or by storaged blood from the pools or getting new blood from Sethe himself.

I'm sure they can reproduce, we got to see Reshad's mother (I think) in crows crook.
But could say a population of 300 (made up number of Arakkoa population) turn into 1300 over 35 years? Well, orcs have their broodmothers and cloning machines so they could...

We also freed an elemental.

It makes sense that the Sethekk would store away his blood, at least until they switched to worshiping the Summoned Old God.

So, on another topic...
Is anyone else waiting for Khadgar and Cordana to give us the first canon Half-Night Elves?

No.

By the great dark. No!
Rather have blizzard focus on developing a independent night elf that isn't licking the boots of a human.

To be fair, Cordona is only trying to keep their way home safe.

That's fair and true, but still, I'd like to see a night elf who's character development isn't dependent on some human guy. They already did that with Tyrande which is bad enough.

And Khadgar tells her repeatedly to stop trying to play nurse maid; she's in the same role that Maiev was in for War of the Ancients.

Her total aperance was like, a page and a half IIRC in the triology.To be fair, Cordona is only trying to keep their way home safe.

I Think Thisalee Crow and Maiev Shadowmoon are the closest we can get to that. Though I haven't seen Thisalee yet in WoD and Maiev turned cray cray for reasons. Probably becosue Malfurion is a *!@#. Though I hope to see Thisalee develop away from neutrality and into a night elf.

I can't help but wonder who is gonna be the legendary follower.
its confirmed we're gonna get one in 6.1
Just in case, I'm stocking up in any respec items I can find, just in case said legendary follower doesn't already have the Epic Mount trait.
Is it gonna be saurfang? I hope its saurfang (Either our present version, or even better, the younger AU!Version of him)

Wouldn't make sense to be Saurfang unless there is going to be two Legendary followers; one for Horde and one for Alliance.

Might be that Khadgar dies and we get Cordana.
Other posibilities is Terokk, his ending in Arak was very anti-climatic, with shamefully no cinematic. And the quill of terokk is the artefact not used/found in Arak.
Maybe aroik, the orc who went full hulk to hold of deadeye, remember if we don't see them die they havn't died.
Cromie might want to follow us, she would be her own choronomancy dragon class.
By the way, anyone think we are going to gem our rings with a Atmal crystal ( like heart of fury and NaaruSkype), the one in netherstorm is said to have the power of a god by that ethereal nexus king.

That's what I'm thinking. I suspect its gonna be two different epic followers. Unless its AU!Saurfang, in which case, I see no reason why he wouldn't fit in the alliance garrison. I have a few draenei on mine, and if I'm not mistaken, there's at least 3 different orcs that can join the alliance one.
Hell, even the old saurfang, I see no reason why he couldn't work with the alliance. That short conversation between those two soldiers in Valgarde shows that even among the alliance troops, they respect saurfang. Ditto when Varian just lets him claim his son on the
non-canonical
alliance version of ICC.

I hope not. I feel like Warlords gives Blizzard a chance to really explore new things, and though Saurfang would be cool, I'd much rather they either used someone we've met in the expansion itself, or started off a new narrative tied into whichever character we get. Replacement for Admiral Taylor and Nazgrim in a sense.

The replacement for Taylor and Nazgrim is the commander player. Though if they gonna do two long running chars they beter not be human and orc. Human and orc is so old boring WC1.
Forsaken and Night Elf would be more intresting IMHO due to controversiality.

No mention of Khadgar itself being our legendary follower?
I mean, he's the one that's leading the legendary questline, and being our follower won't diminish his role in any way.
