Talk:Alterac Navy/@comment-644222-20150128090115

It's actually pretty foolish to assume Alterac never had a navy for a few reasons.

Alterac was formed BEFORE lordaeron, its safe to assume at some point (As i did with my War of Silverpine fanon) they had some control of hillsbrad prior to lordaeron

Its extremely unlikely that lordaeron's borders were that large on founding. The empire struggled on for a few more years and it was detailed that they settled the northern forests. Hillsbrad is not only not a forest, but we know Gilneas controlled part of Silverpine, namely the south. There were no land routes to Hillsbrad from said gorests (which were likely tirisfal/the modern plaguelands).

We know Alterac had ports at some point, likely IN Hillsbrad. Genn Greymane backs Isilden Perenolde as he promises Gilneas staple ports.

The last one alone debunks this random attack on this page. While maps have certainly changed, the lore hasn't been retconned offically and there is certainly concievable methods for Alterac to have had ports and a Navy. If anything, Lordaeron probably seized Hillsbrad post Second War with all the disarray. We know they did for Strahnbrad.
