I felt that it was important to clarify just why Te’len stuck with the group instead of just heading back to Kalimdor, in spite of clearly neither being happy with Stormwind nor all the violence, danger and death – and ultimately what she’s willing to sacrifice at this particular hook in the plot.
It’s sort of funny to reflect on how the entire visit to Stormwind was facilitated by punching out Staghelm – back then, I could believably picture him as a competent but misguided sort of politician with his priorities muddled through an obcession with his own grief, and a standing source of interesting schism within the Night elven society between those content with trying to heal the world again and those who felt it was about time the world gave them something back for their sacrifices. Of course, now we know he was just totally off his rocker and was directed around by a demon masquerading as the ghost of his dead son that only he could see.
Sigh.
