50. Jaina goes and asks Dalaran again, and Rhonin says that he, Modera (or some other mage, I don't remember), and a Sunreaver will go, saying that maybe the Horde wouldn't attack if Kirin Tor were there. Aethas personally vouches for Thalen Songweaver, a Sunreaver loyal to Garrosh, who at this point has already finished making the mana bomb and is now back in Dalaran like normal.
51. Thalen goes to Theramore with Rhonin and the other mage, and helps with the magical shielding placed on the gates, helping to prevent the Horde from getting in.
52. Now there are a ton of Alliance in Theramore, and Garrosh doesn't care that Dalaran is there, finding it funny that they thought he wouldn't attack his legitimate enemies if Kirin Tor were standing in his way. He sends more troops, who hammer on Theramore's gates.
53. Thalen then stops casting his shield spell stuff, so the gates open up and Horde pour in. Jaina is furious with rage that he'd betrayed...the Kirin Tor, I guess? He certainly wasn't her guy. She tries casting some fast spell to kill him, like shooting icicles at him or something, but he smirks and teleports away before she can get him. I think that's what happened in the book, but I'm not sure. My memory's foggy on that, since he's held imprisoned in Theramore in a dungeon for players to find, so I dunno. Maybe Jaina successfully got him into a prison cell.
54. Now the Horde kills the Flight Master, portal guy, and anyone else who can provide a means of escape from Theramore. They also bust out Thalen from jail, who casts a portal to Orgrimmar or Silvermoon for them, I don't remember which. They escape, anyway.
55. Then Garrosh pulls back all Horde troops, making the Alliance think they'd given up. They hadn't. Vereesa and Shandris get ambitious and lead two separate teams of Sentinels into the Marsh after them, looking for Thalen, thinking he'd escaped there, rather than porting out, like he'd obviously do, since he was a mage and all.
56. While they're gone, Garrosh drops the bomb, and Jaina is ported away by Rhonin just in time so she's not killed by the bomb, but she is affected by some of the mana stuff.
57. Then she's all pissed that Garrosh wouldn't put up with her crap and let her harass the Horde while pretending she wasn't, and she goes crying to her father's grave, saying "You were right, dad, the Horde are monsters, and I should have listened to you." And her dad, if you didn't know this, was killed by the Horde because he attacked them without provocation and wouldn't stop. So, she should have learned something from that. But she didn't, and attacked the Horde without provocation, claiming ignorance and pretending she was basically Ghandi and Theramore was picking daisies when the evil Horde came stomping up to ruin their fun.
58. Then she tries to drown Orgrimmar, Thrall talks her down, then the Council of Six read a piece of paper that Krasus wrote before he died. It was a bullshit prophecy that Jaina should be the leader of the Kirin Tor, so the level-headed Council of Six hand off the reins of the second most powerful magical organization on Azeroth (behind Silvermoon, which lorewise should be much more powerful than Blizzard shows it in-game, which is to say that they don't show its power at all) to an emotionally unstable woman, who's suffered unknown side effects from exposure to the mana bomb, who's just lost her entire city (which was her own fault), and certainly not in any mood to see reason or her own hypocrisy.
59. Then comes MoP, and once again, Jaina uses the resources of her (supposed to be) neutral city to blatantly favor one faction in the war, and of course it's the Alliance. She uses Dalaran's resources to protect the Divine Bell from Horde hands in Darnassus, blocking Horde off from porting in.
60. Then Fanlyr Silverthorn, another Blood Elf loyal to Garrosh like Thalen, uses Dalaran's portal network to sneak a Horde agent into Darnassus to steal the Divine Bell. Lorewise, Aethas walks in on the player and Ishi (an orc blademaster loyal to Garrosh) as they're using Dalaran's portal network, but Ishi basically tells Aethas to keep his mouth shut, or the Blood Elves will pay the price. This scene was bugged and didn't show up in-game, but Blizzard says that it's still canon.
61. So, Jaina used neutral Dalaran's resources to help the Alliance in the war. Then Fanlyr used neutral Dalaran's resources to help the Horde in the war. Jaina reacted with maturity, and sincerity. Not an ounce of hypocrisy as far as the eye can see. Except she didn't. She said "WHAT?!?! THEY USED -MY- CITY TO GET SOMETHING IN THE WAR?!?!?!"
62. Then Jaina ports into the Violet Citadel, immediately slaughtering three of Aethas' Sunreaver magi without a word. She accuses Aethas of treachery, to which he claims he did not. She then says he looked the other way, which he did. "But Jaina, Theramore was only around for 4 years more than it should have been, specifically because Thrall looked the other way when you helped the Alliance try to kill him!" But of course, nobody in-game or otherwise acknowledges that bit.
63. Jaina tells Aethas to take the Sunreavers and leave Dalaran immediately. Aethas says "this is OUR city too, Proudmoore." Because most of the Sunreavers had called Dalaran their home and served it loyally for years. Some since before Jaina's grandparents were even born. Then after the Kirin Tor betrayed them while Garithos tried to kill them all, they forgave them and came back. A mistake, evidently.
64. Jaina then freezes Aethas in an ice block, turns around, murders two more Sunreaver archmagi who came to see what was going on, before they could even utter a word.
65. Jaina then orders the Silver Covenant, an organization founded solely to fight the Sunreavers if they ever turned bad, essentially the WoW equivalent to a racist hillbilly gun club militia in the woods, to arrest a group of people that knows the Silver Covenant hate them. That's like the president ordering the KKK to arrest all black people, and expecting the black people to trust the KKK when they say "The president told us to arrest you, so surrender and come with us."
66. The Sunreavers resist, understandably doubting that the group that hates them is telling the truth. Innocent unarmed Sunreaver civilians cower in the sewers and streets, beaten by angry High Elves venting their frustrations. A Sunreaver is being sadistically strangled in midair over a hungry shark by a high elf mage, then he's dropped into the water and eaten alive when the player attempts to intervene.
67. The player and Rommath rescue Aethas and as many Sunreavers as they can, and port them to Silvermoon.
68. Jaina is mad, and the Sunreavers still in Dalaran are then at the mercy of the Alliance players.
69. Vereesa orders Alliance to go incapacitate the Sunreavers' innocent Dragonhawks at Krasus Landing with some sleeping powder, "Or kill them. I don't care." She also says. She then orders Alliance to go to the bank because she saw a Sunreaver running in that direction to withdraw his own assets before fleeing. She says "He's probably going there to steal our stuff. That's bad. Kill him. His stuff is ours now." She then orders Alliance to murder every Blood Elf shopkeeper for not helping the Silver Covenant wrongfully round up all Sunreavers. Them not getting involved and just staying in their own homes and businesses = treachery. While Alliance do this, normal Dalaran citizens also cower in their homes and businesses, but doesn't have a problem with it when it's not Blood Elves. Alliance murder a few more Sunreavers, then Jaina talks to Varian who's mad that she purged the Sunreavers when he was trying to get the Blood Elves into the Alliance, saying they couldn't be trusted because "Once Horde, always Horde."
70. Then Isle of Thunder, when Jaina has devoted Dalaran solely to the Alliance, and follows the Sunreaver force to the Isle of Thunder to murder them out of spite. After some more of Jaina being an ass, and several other Kirin Tor NPCs either gleefully participating in the Blood Elf slaughter, or sadistically grinning after mentioning that Blood Elves were being killed, the Sunreavers and Kirin Tor have a confrontation.
71. Then we come to the grand finale. Jaina, the woman who stood aside and let Thrall kill her father who attacked the Horde unprovokedly, then helped the Alliance in every way possible to kill the Horde without personally wielding the sword or casting the spell that kills them, dodging around her treaty, all while claiming she and Theramore were a beacon of peace and neutrality, not getting involved in the war, then involving them in the war even more by sending her own troops to invade Durotar and the Barrens and Mulgore, then being swatted away by Garrosh who wouldn't tolerate her harassment like Thrall did, then went whining to the Kirin Tor to kill the Horde because they wouldn't tolerate her bs anymore, then went whining to her dad's grave because her people suffered the same fate after she did the same thing he did, then doesn't learn her lesson again, because she uses her neutral city's resources to help one side of the war again, says
"They have undermined EVERY attempt at peace!"
Jaina Proudmoore is, without a doubt, the biggest hypocrite in all of WoW's story.
I wouldn't mind any of it, if just one person in WoW would acknowledge that Jaina had it coming to her. Instead, everyone pretends she's a victim, and Theramore was innocent, and Garrosh only did it because he was a monster.
But nobody in WoW, or any novels, has ever noted that Theramore attacked the Horde unprovoked and skated around their treaty for years. Not even Garrosh mentions it. He just says "rawr for the horde loktar ogar."
Because Blizzard wanted Jaina to be the poor innocent whitewashed victim, they seemingly gave everyone amnesia.
Wow. That took a lot longer than I thought it would.
