Dangit, where are my undead propogandist writers when I need them! Undead do apothecaries do like to kill people, and the Undercity is just the coolest ever. Yes, there is no doubt of the races Undead is the most predisposed to evil. However their fate is still yet written and Horde mainly gets UD forsaken as a race because they're so darn cool.
I suppose tongue-in-cheek wasn't super clear. I'm not terribly serious about that, but Warlocks do get cast in the stereotypical "bad guy" role. Some tripe about lust for power, and corruption by demon, devil and diabolic forces. Warlocks are the universal 'bad guy' tool in Novelizations, Blizzard Lore, and everyhere I look (except possibly for tv series about female witches, Bewitched, Sabrina the teenage witch, and Charmed).
How they an epic level of power under WoW rules is beyond me. Sure we have a small field army, but where's Medivh, Gul'dan, and Nerzhul level of power? Additionally, all of them were slain. Medivh, band of humans led by Lothar in his own tower (was tough in WCI with no ability to heal). Gul'dan? Raised tomb of Sargerras, and got slain by demons within. Ner'zhul? Disappointed by this one, ventured forth to Draenor and summoned portals that ruptured that red world, and made a daring move to go conquer other worlds--but met demons of the twisting nether that consumed his body.
So, how does a warlock ever become king? HMM? Never seems to be one in power, or explain how he grabbed that power until writers need one. Hey let's make Medivh open the Dark Portal, and kickstart WCI. Guldan? Nerzhul? Let's have them communicate with Medivh and whisper secrets with demons. Kill them off when we're done with them. Oh! Sure! Their bones and spirits are now artifacts of power.
Warlocks. Apparantly, we're just evil. Where's my boomstick? Do I get to eat children at all hallow's eve? Have we modernized to vacuum cleaners?
Where's the actual evil, and the power! *&$(*#!!
