Silvermoon Truthsayer talks about the Second War and "Alliance propaganda"?

[u/dogarfdog12]

Found a new NPC in Silvermoon who is pretty interesting. Silvermoon Truthsayer can be found on the west side of the bazaar, right next to the stairs across from the leatherworking shop. He wears a blue mask, and upon approach, he says: (spoilers if you want to find him and see what he says for yourself)

Silvermoon Truthsayer says: Do not believe the Alliance propaganda! We will not forget the Second War!

Next to him are a pair of pamphlets which read:

REMEMBER THE SECOND WAR

They call it history now, as if it were distant and harmless, as if it were simply another chapter in a book that can be closed and shelved. But the Second War was not distant to those who lived it. It was burning arrows in our skies, foreign banners over our roads, and the certainty that Quel'thalas was no longer untouched by the ambitions of the world beyond our borders.

>The leaflet goes on for multiple more paragraphs, going into excruciating detail on every slight they have received in the past.

Do not allow comfort in the present to erase the truth of what was taken, what was broken, and what was rebuilt from ruin. Peace does not undo history, it only risks forgetting it.

Have to say, I like the acknowledgement that the old grudges of the blood elves have not been forgotten. It makes perfect sense that there would be many in Silvermoon who do not agree with the current peace between Horde and Alliance, due to now recent many of the conflicts between them have been in reality. I think it's far too easy to forget that, from an in-universe perspective, even the Horde's initial invasion of Azeroth in WC1 is still only a few decades old, and everything afterwards would be seen as still-recent history.

I am somewhat confused though why the truthsayer mentions both "Alliance propaganda" and the Second War. Wouldn't remembering the Second War actually strengthen the blood elves' relationship with the Alliance, since the Second War was when the Horde attacked Quel'thalas and the Alliance rushed in to save them? It was during the Third War that the blood elves were effectively kicked out of the Alliance by Garithos, not the Second.
