WoW Rest Stop

I laugh at all the angst among the Horde about the coming leadership change.  Though the details are scarce it was said at Blizzcon last year that Garrosh is taking Thrall's place as leader and Cairne Bloodhoof is going to be killed by Garrosh.  This cause a wave of outrage from many Horde players.  Recently it was said that the Dragonmaw are going to ally themselves with the orc in Cataclysm now some people are upset all over again.

Honestly, I sometimes question the actions of Varian and Garrosh but does it make any sense that we've had fighting in Warsong Gulch, Alterac Valley, etc for years but the leaders are essentially pacifists?  I say bring on the hate. 

As far those that are upset at their leadership ... it is easy to take the facts we know and portray Garrosh as a hero.  Here's my quick attempt:

Varian decides after the fall of the Lich King to get back some of the territory lost to the Horde in WC1-3 and attacks Hammerfall.  While Jaina and Thrall are engaged in peace talks Varian attacks Tarren Mill.  He is surprised there by Garrosh and his small army fresh from Northrend and Varian's forces fall back to Southshore to regroup.  Garrosh calls for help from his allies but all but the trolls decline due to losses in the recent Northrend battles.  Desperate,  Garrosh sends an emissary to the Dragonmaw with an offer of general amnesty if they join his cause -- they accept.  Thrall continues to work with Jaina for a peace treaty but they are unable to get Varian from attacking Tarren Mill once again.  This time Garrosh not only to stops the offensive but regains all the lost territory when his new-found Dragonmaw allies attack Arathi from the South.  Varian is forced to abandon Southshore and retreat to his starting position.  Thrall is now discredited by his calls for peace so the orcs remove him as leader and put Garrosh in his place.  Garrosh's first act is to boldly march to Thunder Bluff and challenge Cairne Bloodhoof for his failure to support him at Tarren Mill.  They engage in single combat and Garrosh emerges the victor.  The Tauren install Baine Bloodhoof their new leader. When Garrosh returns to Orgimmar his first act is to banish all non-orc/troll from the city.  The war has drawn into a stalemate centered on Arathi Basin, Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, and Twilight Highlands but things are starting to settle down and talks are occurring again among the Horde leaders.  Then the Cataclysm hits....

I'm sure he will be arrogant prick the whole time but Garrosh would be a hero in this story.  I'm sure Blizzard's version will be much better but I think I think it is funny that people threaten a race change over lore that is unpublished.
