Is Varian Wrynn the de facto leader of the Alliance?
Return to board index

Thrall seems to be in total command of the Horde (at least for now ... ). All of the other factions appear to be clearly under his total command, willingly or no.
Does Varian hold this same position with the Alliance, real or imagined? Tyrande Whisperwind of the night elves has been essentially a no-show for the entire MMO run: Vanilla WoW, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King. She hasn't been involved in any meaningful quest lines at all. But is she at King Varian's beck and call?
Velen played a crucial role in Burning Crusade.
Bronzebeard didn't have a vital part in either expansion, but he at least had a minor appearance in the Storm Peaks. I assume he is persuaded by Varian given the dwarven-human friendship.
The gnomes. Well ... let's move on.
Things are heating up for Cataclysm. I figure Tyrande will feature more, what with the whole Ashenvale conflict, the return Deathwing, the eventual return of Malfurion Stormrage, and whatever Fandral Staghelm has planned. Not to mention Hyjal and the kaldorei interaction with the worgen (does Velinda Starsong return?) .
But are the night elves bound by some Alliance rules to strictly obey Varian (who has lost his mind)? What about the draenei?

He is not.

Varian is only the leader of the Stormwind humans. The Theramore humans follow Jaina, the Gilenas ones follow Genn, the Stromguarde follow Galen and so on and so forth.
Blizzard is trying to get the war back in WARcraft so Varian has magically(literally) reappeared to restart a war that has been over for almost 2 decades, and Garrosh is his other half.
Would the other races follow him? Only if it was obvious there was a true reason to, otherwise they just smile and nod and hope the other human leaders keep him in check.

These are excellent responses. How do you think the worgen will fit into all this?
Would they favor the human plight, once being fully human themselves? Or are they more likely to be one with the night elves, who seem to be (at least from what I have seen) taking them under their wings?

I really, really hope that the Worgen are dark, like the Forsaken.
And I expect Genn to butt heads with Varian quite frequently, just like old times.

Don't forget about Jaina's power too. It is represented in-game, by the way Jaina and Varian are
bum-chums
partners in crime.
It annoys me that the Humans completely look like they control the Alliance in-game, because they really do not.

Like orcs and the Horde?
Except Thrall actually is the leader of the whole Horde, they and bound to the Warchief by oath. However, Velen, Tyrande and Magni etc, do not answer to King Chin. Stormwind =/= the entire Alliance
