The enemy of my enemy is my friend...

Ahem, kia. Rule 29: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.

Even when it's just a side effect of killing everyone in general.

And yet he still doesn't like the forsaken.

Someone doesn't need to be your friend in order to team up to accomplish a common goal, protect a common interest, etc. Strange bedfellows and all that.

And, as others have pointed out, the old Dragonmaw leadership is dead. It does make some sense that they'd turn to the new Horde and try to bury the hatchet (in something other than each others' heads). The orcs of the new Horde are former demon-blood drinking pawns of the Burning Legion themselves. People do change over time, and no one knows that better than the Horde.

Ack...doing the "heart" symbol (the arrow, apparently) cuts off the rest of the comment. I know you know where it came from, heart Schlock Mercenary. XD

Schlock? My first thought was the Evil Overlord list, but 29 is "I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion." Another reason to get around to reading Schlock at some point.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
