![]() Our Treasure belongs on the guillotine.Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. By all rights there should be a mob of peasants at the end of this one stringing Him up for first conscripting them to die en masse in a war He prosecuted as poorly as possible out of concern for his opponents' feelings, then using their money to 'heal' the enemy that had treated them ruthlessly. By contrast, Anduin's policy is to do literally nothing and he has no opposition whatsoever. The point here though is that Terenas was the nicest of all parties in the Alliance at the time and shoving all the orcs into labour camps is still a pretty hefty punishment, just less hefty than killing them. No one in Lordaeron would've suspected its fall to come from the hands of its beloved prince. As for Lordaeron, it didn't fall to the Scourge due to any kind of internal disarray Arthas struck at its head and used the ensuing chaos to his advantage in a tactical coup. Thrall and Doomhammer were aided by Blackmoore's desire to keep his secret project concerning Thrall a secret - he didn't want Terenas or the other Alliance members to know how bad things were, and his lies paved the way for the fall of Durnholde and the camps. His primary outreach was actually to the landed gentry of Lordaeron and those with political power - once he swayed provincial lords and nobles, they could easily sway the masses further. The Cult of the Damned was fostered via Kel'Thuzad's charisma and promises of immortality and a life of luxury no longer having to work the earth for sustenance. I don't think the position of Kul Tiras was known, but they remained a steadfast Alliance partner all the way up to the transition of Alliance power from Lordaeron to Stormwind, where they ultimate rescinded membership due to the Alliance's failure to stop the death of Daelin Proudmoore at Theramore - not anything to do with the internment camps at all. Sure, ties with the dwarves remained strong enough that Arthas could basically foster with them and hang around with Kul Tiras' daughter, but they were also not strong enough for literally anyone to do anything as Lordaeron was dismantled by the Scourge and a phlegmatic state could not stop Doomhammer and then Thrall's reunification of the Horde.The Alliance of Lordaeron didn't collapse until Lordaeron was wiped out in the opening days of the Third War following Arthas' regicide and the following slaughter of nearly everyone in Capitol City. Those mentioned up to this point were pretty clear in calling this a really poor decision. While Stromgarde, Gilneas and Quel'thalas immediately quit, I'm pretty sure Kul Tiras was also against leniency against the orcs and Terenas' policies meant that there was ample ground for, as Maxrokur says, the creation of the cult of the Damned. The elves pulled the plug about this too and the Alliance of Lordaeron collapsed soon after.

Mind you, that was with an Alliance that was a lot more ruthless than what it is today. If memory serves only Stromgarde and Gilneas left the Alliance over it, everyone else stayed.
