Dang, I knew the purple ones were probably bad, but not that bad.

@PonyPon  
yeah, I think I recall what you mean now, but that’s just what we were talking about earlier, Cenarius meeting ‘their kind’ again on the battle field, which I assume was during the first invasion and how it makes little sense his anger issues to the orcs. It makes sense to the Burning Legion, but the orcs? come on.. plus, he’s supposedly the God of All Druids, so, how does the mighty Cenarius being this paranoid factor in with that kind of an identity?
 
what I find truly ironic is this.
 
The orcs did not receive a warm welcome on Kalimdor. Despite no longer having warlocks in their ranks, the orcs of Thrall’s Horde still carried within them the unmistakable mark of the Burning Legion upon their very souls. Cenarius, as a being so attuned to nature that he can sense the slightest corruption, assumed that the orcs in Ashenvale were scouts of the Legion. Cenarius became certain that the orcs had returned to their warlike ways. He led a group of night elves and treants against a large group of the orcish intruders. This, ironically, sent the Warsong clan back into the service of Mannoroth and lead to the reestablishment of their connection to the potent fel magics that first bound them to the Legion. Led by Grom Hellscream, the orcs drank of a pool’s tainted waters and reveled in the return of their demon-granted power.
 
In short, the Sentinels first attacked almost immediately as the orcs set encampment on a land they just arrived in and as expected by nearly any race and faction in existence regardless of current/previous affiliation, the orcs retaliated to their attack, thus somehow angering Cenarius and invoking his wrath.. It’s almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy and I like how it was continuously played out as “it was their fault”, all because the night elves were the first to draw weapons at them for coming in their lands.
 
that’s basically what I mean by the night elves in Warcraft being presented as every bit of a moral complex issue elf in the works of fantasy inspired fiction.

@toxicitzi  
And many other things, it was clusterf*ck, that place.
 
Though, maybe this only apples in their alternate history.

@Starswirl  
Indeed.. maybe, not that I would know, but I’m keeping in with the timeline of the events we’re talking about, because if you noticed in PonyPon’s comment, the word used was ‘lived’, aka, in the past. :p

@PonyPon  
really? as far as W2 was concerned and the world of Draenor from before the great wars, weren’t they mostly in conflict with the Draenei and with each other?

@toxicitzi  
I meant back on their home planet of draenor.

@toxicitzi  
The newest expansion has the orcs in a vicious conflict with plant peoples. Think using mind-control vines or infesting them with zombie spores.

@PonyPon  
no, actually.. that happened afterwards for the most part and if I recall, wasn’t it the Taurens who lived in constant conflict with the centaurs on their land?
 
man. all this talk about warcraft 3 reign of chaos makes me a bit nostalgic over the orc campaign..

@toxicitzi  
Not to mention orcs lived their lives in fear of plant and centaur-ish monsters anyway, so it was mostly business as usual.

@Background Pony #EF6B  
nope. They only were demon tainted after he was razing down their bases and forces for ‘trespassing’, even the first strike force attacked them solely on cutting down the forest and marching into their lands, no questions asked, so the night elves are still no less the elven pricks that most elves are, the only difference is that they got what they deserved for being such highly destructive and intolerant pieces of shit.

@klakmuf
 
Yeah, and Cenarius had a good reason to be hostile to Orcs, considering that they were trespassers and demon-tainted.

Twilight’s ears providing good handles for Spike to hold on to.

Logical Twilight, throwing out four fallacies in four sentences?
 
It’s time to stop writing.

Reminds me of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing
 

 

 

So is the deer testing her?

Even Cenarius sound less hippie than this moron

Ooh, deer elves. Jerkass deer elves, no less. Fun times.

I kinda get the feeling someone’s been watching the old Lorax movie. Especially this part

wait, the hippie elf deer who’s been terrorizing the wrong people as a point and the main character hero is the one saying something that’s dumb and thoughtless?

@PonyPon  
Maybe he just likes arguing with people for fun. He certainly looks like he enjoyes being a contrarian.

Gee, how very intellectual and scientific your thinking be, Twilight.

@OverlordScorpion  
I think most of them at least think that way.

I once heard a SJW utter the “I know I’m right because it feels right” line. Honest.

Twilight, when in doubt:
