Scholar lore

[AspectOfWinter]

Thing is, I have always felt that the military theme in WoW is the reason why the Alliance and Horde are depicted as being so chauvinistic. It's kind of like how many if not most female characters in TV are extremely emotional, most military personnel in video games in my experience are fanatical warmongers and have that attitude of "my country, right or wrong".

However, the class itself is murky in lore - so until we travel back in time to that era we simply won't know what the general temperament of the ancient Scholars was. It's confirmed that during times of peace they took on the role of doctors, so it's certainly conceivable that many of them actually had a lot in common with Jedi Consular from SWTOR.

Well, nationalism is sort of implied in the SCH quest lines. It can even be stretched that it may have been what caused the War of the Magi (nationalism starts a lot of wars...). Though, I doubt this may have been the case for Nym, considering they only really boasted small, elite units rather than a large, expansive navy. Nationalism almost always implies great (or seemingly great) military strength. Nym only had great minds on their side. I'm gonna blame that one on Amdapor, personally...

As for faeries...it is only really implied that they forge a very strong bond with their SCH counterpart. It doesn't really say where they came from (as far as I can remember) nor does it say why they coexist. We (read: I) simply don't have all the information.
