Does someone know why the Forsaken were accepted into the Horde???

[DeathLich]

They were accepted, with great mistrust toward eachother, because each side (orc and UD) saw that it would be profitable. An example of this is that the Orcs, Trolls, and Tauren see the UD as a lower life form and treat them poorly. This is visa-vera for the UD towards them. It's an uneasy alliance between them. If you want to know more, then read up on the "story" at Blizzards official web site.

Actually only the undead hooked up for power. The horde originally didn't want the foul undead allied with them. The orcs however remember what it was like to be pawns of the Burning legion and were given a second chance to change their ways. Basically the undead used this to get the orcs to give them a second chance. The undead allied with the horde is the undead that sylvanis windrunner took and went renegade with. Not the undead under arthas and the lich kings command.

I too was weirded out when I heard the spiritual horde races accepted the undead as part of them, until I read up on it.

Actually I wasn't too wierded out by the allience...it seemed almost fitting to me. Although I love the UD, so I wouldn't care if they had to live with the dwarves and gnomes!...On second though I hate gnomes...but other than that I wasn't wierded out because they were, afterall, loyal subjects to the burning legion as you said and both wanted to escape. Although only time will tell if the allience between the green-skinned shamans and the foul, rotting walking dead lasts...Blizzard did say though that both sides don't fully trust in eachother and hold eachother as lower lifeforms. *sigh* I'm begining to ramble, so I'll end this post by saying; WoW gnomes are so stupid! Expecially with the dumb straw farmer hats!!! And the freakishly large heads! That's all...wait forgot to say...100th post!!

Lol. Don't be so hard on the Gnomes. Atleast they aren't drunken footstools like the dwarves.
