[His brow furrows. He wasn't expecting... such vehemence, even though he's dealt with it before. This isn't the time and he doesn't regret doing what he had to do.

He values Sylvanas for always speaking her mind, but this is not something he will back down from.]

He is not useless. He is a respected veteran of the Northrend campaign, and many warriors of the Horde fought beneath him. [He lifts his chin slightly.] It is no secret that I was raised by humans, and there have always been those who desire a leader raised on Draenor. The dissenters have been numerous as of late-- but that is not the only reason.

The world needs healing. It needs every able-bodied shaman to go to the Maelstrom and keep Azeroth held together. I cannot feasibly lead the Horde and adhere to my duties as a shaman. It is unfair and disastrous to all sides.

You may disagree with my decision, but it was necessary. He is the son of my old friend, the savior of the orcish people. Garrosh began as a coward hiding from his duties, but he rose above it.

His burden is greater than any of us could EVER hope to understand.
