[Spoilers] So many AU questions

The Mag'har scenario is raising a lot of questions about how things played out across those 35 years on Dreanor.

We never once looked to Alternate Azeroth though, which I could see just being normal Azeroth as of the opening of Warcraft 1.

BUT, how have the last 35 years played out there?

With no orc invasion, there's no first war, there's no Gilneas locking themselves away, no Alterac betrayal, no Lich King as Ner'Zhul was never punished. Alternate Illidan will never get the Skull of Gul'Dan, in fact he's probably still in jail.

What happened to the Medivh that didn't open a portal? Deathwing never hides in Alternate Dreanor, does Alternate Azeroth ever get a cataclysm? Without Cho'Gall, there's no Twlight Cult to awaken C'thun.

Are the alternate Darkspear wiped out by naga? The Alternate Tauren wiped out by centaur? Does Shaohao still see enough to open Pandaria to the world?

Without the scourge, did Archimonde arrive? If there's no battle of Hyjal, was Teldrasil ever grown? If Magni never reads the book to commune with the earth, does Moira ever return to Ironforge? Loredaron stands tall, High Elves remain friendly to humans (There is no Alliance as we know it today). Heck, without the first war, there aren't even any Paladins! They were created when Orcs kept slaughtering priests!

Dark Iron dwarves could still hold all of Blackrock Mountain if Nefarian never gets orc minions. With no unified Alliance, and no Horde to speak of, is Ragnaros still under Blackrock?

I have far, far, FAR too many questions.

Alternate Azeroth would be FASCINATING.
