#the ppl from the beyond the dark portal journey though??? i love how much they loved her

I feel like alleria is an inspiring leader despite her inability with diplomacy mostly because she'd be passionate and earnest. she doesn't fight for causes she does not believe in, and she fights for them when she believes it even when others try to stop her. beyond martial skill, that's what I think would make her a compelling leader, enough so rangers followed her in going against anastherian's orders, enough so people ventured beyond the dark portal under her leadership, and that they named a stronghold after her, not just because they thought she died, but as symbolic of quel'thalas itself (It is fitting - the orcs destroyed much of Quel'Thalas, and so in return we will claim this, the one green region left upon this forsaken world.) she clearly inspires her followers, though it is never a purposeful attempt to do so. she doesn't try to make people follow and most of the time i'd say she's uncomfortable leading in general, and yet she repeatedly ends up in leadership positions, and the people who follow her genuinely look up to her and have high regard for her. and i think her passion and earnestness and devotion to whatever cause she sees fit to fight for are most definitely factors on that.
