Talk:Alterac

From WoWWiki

It's ironic really that Alterac worked so hard with the Horde to protect themselves from it. Idiots --Mr.X8 01:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it was an incredibly cunning and intelligent idea - though of course entirely treacherous. What better way to stop an enemy than become their closest friend? Perenolde owed the Alliance nothing; he hated them for refusing to protect the little nation. It was a no-brainer to take the choice that would best defend his country, as well as providing him with a vehicle for his own vengeful schemes.

Don't be too quick to judge people or political manouvres because you don't like them; and certainly don't underestimate their ability. A similar attitude was responsible for a significant event on 30 January 1933... ---- Vorbis Talk Contribs

I looked it up a few hours ago on Wikipedia. The night of long knives. There was nothing on it in Wikipedia though. What did Hitler do to his enemies? Mr.X8 02:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I meant January (not June); when Hitler became Chancellor. :S But there are still a few parallels anyway; especially regarding killing political enemies and rivals. ---- Vorbis Talk Contribs

So technically Alterac was for the Horde? Mr.X8 00:43, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Nah, they are more for themselves... The horde was just a means to that end.Baggins 07:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

The night of long knives? Oh my.

I would say, after looking again at the info we have, that Alterac sided with the Horde more out of fear than intelligence (maybe because Perenolde was a complete rogue).--K ) (talk) 21:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

The way i see it, the small nation saw the rise of a superpower, an unwinable war, and a means to secure a place for themselves in the new order, thats all there is too it.

Once the capital of Alterac was destroyed, the remnants did what exactly? did its military join in the horde army Alterac Parenolde (talk) 05:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I slightly disagree with some of these ideas (the posts that were before Alterac Parenolde's). Remember, Deathwing (in his human guise) was around Perenolde at the time all this was occuring. The things he did in Day of the Dragon (unsuccesfully), he probably actually accomplished during the events leading up to Alterac doing all those crazy things. I mean he was close to controlling three kings in Day of the Dragon, so I am sure one king was an easy task for him. To Alterac Parenolde, I think some survivors of Alterac helped Ner'zhul. Other than that, a lot of survivors created the Syndicate. Rolandius (talk - contr) 06:00, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
