It would have been <i>very</i> relevant information, given the current status of relations between the factions.<br /><br />Oh, I'd love to read the book, but... have you <i>seen</i> my "to be read" pile? I just counted the titles (I keep track on the sidebar on my regular blog) and I've got something like 32 to work on. And I'm not even counting the <i>rest</i> of the books in a series, either.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-16762269412515278142010-11-08T11:00:13.619-05:002010-11-08T11:00:13.619-05:00But the Alliance doesn't have a long tradition...But the Alliance doesn't have a long tradition of shamanism as the Horde does. Even though they made sure that Velen was there so they didn't COMPLETELY ignore draenei - I'm pretty sure he's a priest - none of them is going to have the direct communion with Azeroth to personally say "I'm going to go and do xyz to ask the elements what's going on." Now, maybe if they'd had Nobundo there... Anyway, did you read the pre-Cataclysm novel? I recommend it highly. Extremely relevant right now, and not a bad read either. The Alliance has quite a bit of stuff going on themselves - perhaps it's been poorly represented in-game, though. :(Vidyalahttp://manalicious.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
