Okay, just read the Inactivity thread, and I had a little idea.
No one can say for sure all members of a faction / species are hardwired to be x. Not all Orcs are shamanistic / warlords, not all humans are "HELL YEAH MONARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". And I've always had a deep love for Qiraji - insect people from an Egyptian / Babylonian culture? Kick ass! But, they've never been a race in retail.
What if some of us did a neutral faction of dissident Qiraji - maybe those who seek peace with the races of Azeroth instead of holing up in their kingdom, and since the Scepter of the Shifting Sands events, they've been quiet.
Of course, we can't be the Silithids (the bugs), only Gladiators, Prophets and Battleguards (are the bugs like Princess Huhuran considered "sentient"?).
So, is this possible, lore-wise? It'd be a nice step in the ways of custom lore, not going headfirst that way but certainly getting a taste of it. You guys like this idea? And any suggestions or disagreements are welcomed.
Little Edit Addition: The Qiraji page on WoWWiki states that there are Independent Qiraji. http://www.wowpedia.org/Qiraji
Doesn't state who, but it's certainly an interesting angle.
