* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Part of how Garrosh tries, in vain, to defend himself from Cairne's accusations of murdering the group of druids. Whatever your opinion of his morals, he is not a scheming, shadowy murderer. If he killed someone, he would own it wholeheartedly.
Added DiffLines:
* IgnoredEpiphany: After several instances of Garrosh disregarding his advice, Cairne decides to leave Orgrimmar and return to Thunder Bluff, thinking to himself that Garrosh won't even notice he's gone. Instead, Garrosh makes a point of seeing him off and takes a moment to say that, while they do not always agree, he is grateful to Cairne for his counsel and reassures Cairne that he does have the best interests of the Horde at heart. Rather than take this as sign he's misjudged the young orc, Cairne brushes it off and continues to assume the worst about Garrosh, with fatal consequences.
