Oh and about Garona. It was pretty heavily implied that she was intended to be a cross between human and orc in that manual. I mean she explains that she was born after that first trip into the human world through that portal, and I'd expect that to be the basic explanation.
What really frustrates me is something not even Zelda's storyline was ever guilty of, the infamous "storyline trainwreck" that came with the updated Draenai origin story when one of those WOW expansions came out (it was an instance of gameplay over story of course, but still they could have thought it out better). In WC3, Sargeras was a noble Titan fighting evil until he was corrupted by the evil Eridar race (namely, he went insane because he couldn't fathom how such evil things could exist). Then in that expansion pack, according to the official web site description, suddenly the Eridar are good until the evil Sargeras shows up and corrupts THEM, with those uncorrupted becoming Dranaei and running from that world. Pretty much everyone thinks that was a major slip-up. Then again this is the world where Thrall sits still in his throne room doing nothing, all the great villians of the past are being killed one by one, and alien mummies hand out star trek technology to medieval dwarves.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
