Er, how exactly is Stormwind going to work? Asshat or not, Varian will not be inclined to let Horde members in his city, neutral faction or no. Maybe a Blood Elf could get away with it, they might not be Alliance but at least they aren't Horde. And possibly members of the Kaldorei faction given that they don't have a long bloody history of burning Stormwind to the ground... but Rogrelg? Sylvanus? Mmmm, not likely.

Then there's a problem for [i]why[/i] go to Stormwind at all? It's not like anyone knows of Onyxia do they? And doesn't Varian have a wife? Or is she dead now? Can't remember when that happens. Maybe recruitment? That gets us into the city at least. Some of us anyway. Do you think we should have two characters each? One Horde-friendly, the other Alliance-friendly? Sure characters like Kalania can get away with both sides probably, maybe not if tensions are rising over logging Ashenvale... but for the most part suspicion and hatred will limit options even if they wear the banner of a neutral faction. Maybe our Blues can get stuck in Stormwind recruiting and our Reds go to Orgimmar? There's a neat little cult conspiracy taking place there if I remember right, rogue Warlocks beneath the city.

But what do I know? Maybe not-an-ass Varian is more like his son will be. Anduin is the best.
