So a number of people in WoW Twitter have recently chosen to name Calia as a "White Savior" Trope, both Black and Non-Black members of the community alike, with everyone inclined to name her such *intuitively* but aren't sure if the term applies properly.

The answer is complex!



So first, how did the Forsaken come to be?

Lets take inventory of their people:
- Undead Humans ie the Playable Model
- Undead Elves, which in today's lore are either Darkfallen (ie have a body) or spectral Banshees
- Abominations, freed flesh constructs
- Other racial outcasts

We begin

"[...] I have come to realize that is as diffcult to comprehend the timelessness of dragons as it is for dragonkind to fathom the brief spark of mortal existence"

You know there's something to be said about undeath here, for it too demonstrates an enduring relation to the past

I'm literally Afroindigenous Colombian you fucking idiot

? You were literally repeating a right wing talking point that elements of Blackness in Orcs are a "meme" discourse starting after a movie when there are papers from the Late 90s on this exact issue.

You are wrong and repeating lies

So guess I'll get started on this.

I'll do the thread by breaking it up per theme
1. Genocide Survivor + Rape Allegory
2. Suicide Survivor + Spooky Antihero
3. Local Genocide Girlboss + Faustian Pact

tw: rape, genocide, suicide, intimate personal details, etc

1. Genocide Survivor + Rape Allegory

Quel'thalas experienced genocide. This is the word used. Around 90% of the Blood Elves are dead.

Specifically, this 90% genocide number IRL only actually applies to Amerindigenous populations.

So in honor of me starting more of my AU/rewrite cosmology just a few days before Halloween, I'll start with Shadow Pantheon and follow up with Death Pantheon!

Will start in depth tomorrow :)

1. Dimensius is the "leader" of the Void Pantheon (opposite Xera with some cool Naaru metaphysics)
2. Xalatath is a member
3. A "super" N'zoth is a member (and is the father of all Old Gods)
4. Asfet-coatil is the True Blood Good (Evil Shadow Pantheon Member)

Next explanation of my AU/rewrite stuff will now get into the metaphysics!

The chart is an adaptation off Chronicles taking into account the 3 dimensionality but it is still a WIP (I am not happy with it!)

The First Ones and Pantheons are def finalized.

Starting with Reality! link for full image: i.imgur.com/EHv2FVG.png

So as I mentioned:
-First Ones order was: Life/Death, Shadow/Chaos, Light/Order
-Pantheon/Creation order was: Elements & Reality, Light/Shadow, Order/Chaos, Life/Death

Alliance time!

Likewise a Parliamentary Body, 1 Vote per Seat, and High King likewise elected unanimously or removed by majority.

i.imgur.com/7vFb1aS.png Gonna start with Humans.

Note: Most of the Human chart is actually already canon, and occupies ALMOST A THIRD OF THE ENTIRE ALLIANCE CHART.

CURIOUS, ISN'T IT? INTERESTING, ISN'T IT?

Whereas for Horde I had to pull shit out of my ass left and right.

FASCINATING.
