This runs contrary to the Forsaken national identity, which places a great importance on free will. So if the Forsaken are not mind controlled, why do guys who were just five seconds ago Alliance fighters suddenly work for the Forsaken? News at 11.

We've got a timeline and maybe sometime before the galaxy explodes we'll put it up somewhere.

I see. Thanks for bringing me up to speed on both of those. I'm really interested to see how well all the scrounging I and everyone else has done fits in with the official timeline.

Inb4 Sylvanas was the one who told the belven government to mind control the Horde dissenters. The question of who wears the pants in QT is an awkward one indeed

Remember who you are talking about. It will be objectively evil regardless of anything you say.

Discussing the lore is enough for him. A master of facts and reason. Words are his weapons of choice. He deftly posts snide comments with deep-biting cynicism. His ego is healthy enough that he does not need to take online tests and post the results in his signature to gain a sense of identity or self-worth. He also probably did not take this test over again until he got the results he wanted. The Guy Who Didn't Take the 'RPG Personality Test' strives for logic, truth, and sanity above all else.

Bolvar will always survive, and Bolvar is all the sanity SoL needs.

Can these "titanic constructs" get proper race names (for lack of a better term)? I'm leaning towards "watcher," but I have questions about just what that means in regards to other similar/adjacent terms.

I think it is more like, "I could replace this hand, or I could make a stronger, yet immobile, one out of silver for punching things more."

The Archavon-style stone giants have replaced one hand with a spiked boulder.
