The thing is we are talking about the leader of a nation. When's the last time a PM or President stopped by to welcome the newest clerk into the Department of Useless Paperwork? She should have far more to do than try to convince some nobody that she really does have the best interest of the Forsaken in mind, honestly - no attempt at creating more people who share this condition we all loathe and despise just to increase the size of the army until the whole of the Eastern Kingdoms can be rolled and bow before the Queen of the Damned. Sorry, slipped fandom there...Cerah wrote:So ... would your definition of a "normal" leader be one who doesn't take the time and effort to know his/her people?

Supporting every single undead, its not normal. I bet the other horde leaders dont exacly have time for every person comes to them. Anyhow, the way she acts is suspecious.
That's a scary definition of normal.
If you do the Argent quests in EPL one of the the tower chains is provided by a former Royal Apothecary who broke oath with Silvanas and ran to the Crusade when he became concerned with her actions. We aren't really given much additional information but it is telling when the senior members of a government decide that they have had enough and start to flee. Given the nature of the Apothecary Society it is even more interesting that one of them would find the change in Silvanas unnerving enough to escape. That can be interpreted another way, of course - he was not concerned with what Silvanas was doing but with the fear that she was about take off the velvet glove and rule with a bare iron fist. Personally, I find that more likely but we are not provided enough information in the quest chain to decide on his actual motivation.
Finally, the Forsaken have always hated the condition of undeath. That was one of the great motivations of the people - to take revenge on the individual who did this to them. Now that the task is done I could definitely see the Forsaken coming a bit apart at the seems. After all, the obsession of a nation has been satisfied. Now what? I cannot imagine them willingly taking to the creation of new scourge. Some would, of course, indeed some would be all for raising up a subservient class of bound undead who will carry-out the will of the Forsaken without fear or remorse. Sounds somewhat like what lies in store for Koltira.
