TheWoWDB"Baine represents all that is best in the Horde."
What a bunch of absolute hogwash. He said nothing about Sylvanas' plan or Azeroth's condition ever since the beginning of the expansion, never spoke out or confronted Sylvanas about it, acts behind her (and everybody's) back, speaks about making peace with the Alliance right after they thrash Zuldazar and kill their king, betrays the Horde by returning Derek to Jaina, and then has to be confronted by Sylavanas for Baine to speak out finally.
Baine is a dishonorable coward and he can burn in hell for all I care.

Description
Sylvanas Windrunner was once my ranger-general. Now she is my warchief. Through peacetime and war, I followed her orders. Until now. Baine is a noble soul. His execution would drive a blade into the very heart of the Horde. We must save him, {name}. It is the only way to preserve who we are. What we stand for. I have reached out to allies who will help you. But in siding with them, you will put your own life in peril. If you feel as I do, then meet them in the Cleft of Shadows. Good luck.
