Did the Alliance Win BFA?
In the Burning Crusade Expansion (BC) of World of Warcraft, the Horde and the Alliance were at war over the continent of Outland. The question on many players’ minds is whether the Alliance emerged victorious at the end of the battle. In this article, we’ll dive into the events of BFA, analyze the key moments of the war, and reach a conclusion about whether the Alliance won or not.
The Alliance’s Path to Victory
The Horde and the Alliance had a long history of conflict and tension, with the Cataclysm expansion leading to full-scale war in the Warlords of Draenor and the Battle for Azeroth expansions. By the start of BFA, it was clear that the alliance between the Night Elves and the Horde had broken, and the war was inevitable.
The Alliance, under the leadership of King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind and Lady Tiara Moonblaze, a powerful and cunning member of the night elf city of Moonglade, launched a series of campaigns to weaken the Horde’s hold on Outland. The key battles they won are detailed in the table below:
| Battle | Outcome | Outcome Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Garrosh’s Defeat | Win | King Varian’s forces killed Garrosh Hellscream, the Warchief of the Horde |
| Ursari Defeat | Win | The Ursari’s efforts to defeat the alliance were thwarted |
| Tuskarr Tribe Destruction | Loss | Tuskarr, a centaur tribe, was forced to flee its home territory |
| Nightborn Tribe Defeat | Win | Nightborn was defeated, losing its strongest warriors |
The Alliance suffered losses, particularly in Tuskarr Tribe Destruction, but the overall progress they made suggests that their efforts were bearing fruit. By the end of Garrosh’s Defeat, the Horde had lost its strongest leader.
The Horde’s Retaliation
The Horde, under the leadership of Sylvanas Windrunner, Warchief of the Forsaken and former High Sorceress of the Blood Elves, responded to the Alliance’s victories with determination and ruthless tactics. The Unholy Factions’ Defeat, Mogu’lan Oilfield Battle, and the Battle for the Shrine of the Silver Crescent Moon were crucial battles, and the outcome of those conflicts is a matter of debate.
