I like it... Especially the Sin'sholai story. Blood Elves weren't meant to be in the horde, imho. I think Blizz just wanted to get more hoardies playing so created a race that would make everyone go "OH PRETTY I WANNA BE ONE" to get people to join... They do _not_ fit in with the horde beliefs at all. The Forsaken... should probably be with the alliance, as they were humans at one time... But. I don't know (I'm not a Forsaken lore expert, and am not claiming to be, heh)
I know they had some kind of dispute with the humans though, however.
But yeah, I like it.

Oooh, I'll argue against all of this. The Horde are often referred to as 'outcasts'. The Orcs, in all honesty, don't even belong on Azeroth. They are from Draenor and only through the meddling of the Burning Legion, do they find themselves on Azeroth. Trolls can barely get along with their own tribes let alone other races. They choose to alienate themselves. The Tauren are a roving race of nomads, pushed out by Centaur and have just recently found a new home with the aid of the Orcs. The Undead, the Forsaken, are hunted by every strain of Humanity and the Forsaken are practically 'Runaway' Scourge. The Blood-Elves have broken from the Alliance and they need the backing of the Horde, that's why they joined.
The Horde, at its worst, are a bunch of outcast races uncomfortable with each other, maybe even a little hostile, but they need each other and they understand this. The Forsaken treat the Horde as a means to an end, and for the most part that is what the Horde is.
I like what the Server Lore is doing.Breaking away the Blood-Elves and Forsaken is what I think would 'eventually' (and likely) happen. As is, following Blizz lore, that would be a difficult maneuver and would only hurt the Horde faction, but with CotH being managed by a team, they can solve problems as they pop up. Zat ees zis mans take on all of zis fhings.
Well, Touchseed, you're right on some of it. But uncomfortable? I don't agree so much. The Trolls, Orcs, and Tauren are all deeply respectful of one another, and back each other as means to create not just a group of outcasts, but a whole civilization. The Forsaken are, as stated, merely using the Horde and the BElves.. Well, who cares about them. (Cough) I mean, they split from the Alliance to join the Horde.
Trolls, Orcs, and Tauren I don't see as outcasts, rather part of a big picture. Like a community of people who rely on one another for entertainment, goods, defense, and what have you. The Forsaken and BElves? ....Not so much.
