Illidan and the Naga occupied Dalaran...and Kael'thas and his BElves later allied with them.
A respected member of an organisation whose city had been ravaged thrice, and who had allied with one of those three factions. Seriously - the city had been invaded by Scourge, wrecked by Archimonde and finally taken over by Illidan and the Naga. Do you seriously expect them to be in any position to fight Garithos to save Kael'thas?When Garithos found out they accepted help from the naga, he called them traitors and imprisoned them in the Violet Hold. The Kirin Tor let this happen, mind you, even though Kael'thas was a respected member of the organization, as were many of the blood elves.
This would be the same Scourge that weren't in the city when Archimonde destroyed it? The same Scourge he gave to Tichondrius and the Dreadlords? The same Scourge we saw move into Hyjal to support Archimondes operations there?
And he doesn't even try to see how the Dalaranites might view the BElves siding with one of the forces which took it over. Just as he doesn't seem to place any fault with the Sunreavers for their treachery.To Quote Rommath on the matter
He was implicated by a note written in Dwarvish and assumed to be from him - by a BElf who admits he can barely recognise the language let alone read it. The same BElf who (IIRC) we are told was given reports about the tower which blew up and apparently did nothing. We are never told or shown why the NElfs were there. We are given no hints about their mission. We are given no reason why the NElfs would go from super friendly in WC3 to attacking without provocation in this setup.The dwarven ambassador did spy, that much is certain and so did the Night elves, we might know the reason as well, which would be the Dreanei starting zone.
The entire story has its moments, but overall it is still handled very clumsily.
No, it didn't. What we got from WC3, however, were very friendly overtures between the BElves and NElfs. They didn't fight, they worked well together. There was no conflict, no acrimony.
You would have preferred they executed Kel'thuzad for the crime of reanimating rats? KT wasn't really a threat until he stood before the Lich King and gained the power, knowledge and resources to become one.a problem which, again, can fairly be blamed for getting out of control by the lassitude and shortsightedness of Dalaran and Lordaeron
