Unity - Chapter 17

[the__ivorytower]

It's baaaaaack! I'll give the second chapter a few days, because last time people missed Chapter 15 when I posted Chapter 15 and 16 together. Enjoy, I have been told by my beloved beta-hamster, without whom this would not be possible, that it is quite good.Title: Unity

This update is amazing as always. I may have squealed when I saw it on my flist!

*grins* I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I didn't think it was possible, but this story keeps getting better! Although I do admit I go back to Chapter 12 frequently, for the... you know... scenery :D

But this new chapter is so amazing, I don't know where to start! It's full of TROLLS, who "...thrived in the summer months, introducing their shamelessness regarding clothing to the orc populace" My troll priest Revnah is /dance-ing with delight at this!

And hang on, Voljin's WIVES?? Oooooh, tell me more! Could we have some porn about this? -Ahem, sorry, sobering up now :D

And then just when I thought it couldn't get any better, Thrall blushes. D'awwww.

Seriously, I love it a lot. It's beautifully written, especially the descriptive parts in the first half. If there ever is a writing contest again, you should enter this chapter as a standalone story and win - but then of course, Blizz wouldn't approve of the Thrall/Jaina shipping...

Looking forward to the next instalment! Soooo much!

“Blood for the Blood God,” Vol’jin said grimly. “He has found the heart of Hakkar, and now he be needin’ blood... and skulls for his throne. *SPORFLE* i love thiiiiis XD

Being able to make that 40K reference completely seriously made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, let me tell you internets. It was originally more subtle and then I went 'fuck it, he is a BLOOD GOD, and he left huge piles of bones and skulls in his wake with the original iteration of blood plague'.

The Zandalari are *old*. They're traditionally old and I'd bet they've figured out how to squeeze out some more years, so they've got more than a bit of a superiority complex and, as noted, they're theoretically there to help save the day, in the way a patronizing older sib is.

The problem with applying ANIMAL morality to HUMANS is animals ARE NOT HUMAN. They do not think, reason, or have the same priorities that humans do beyond some of the basic needs. I don't mind people feeling like animal totems are important to them, but it's pretty important to, you know, actually know that animals aren't people. Duh.

I'm really glad you liked it, and I'm sorry this reply is so late. You're also totally supposed to be curious about what Jaina is

XD I love the Zandalari. CROTCHETY LIBRARIANS! Questing for them in Zul'Drak was fun as hell and I loved their attitude: "Yeah we were all ready to save the Drakkari's butts here but then we found out they were murdering their loa so screw that. Recording-a-downfall time." (Which is why I write them going 'yeah you're on your own, pals' to the Amani and Gurubashi come Cata. '...So you guys are messing with Hakkar AGAIN, and...YOU guys, I don't know what you're doing, but it looks like exactly what you did before so it's probably stupid.' The trolls HAD one empire; empires fall. Plus after the events of the first Zul'Gurub OMGWTF, Rastakhan is way more likely to call for solidarity and unity and support from outsiders in crisis, because that's what wtfpwn'd Hakkar before. If it ain't broke don't fix it. ...Also I think trolls would in general really hate the Mogu. Big race of asshole buzzkills. Can't even make a good smoothie
