Varian's a jackass again.

[Ardeo Obustus]

Found this:

WoWwiki:

"In Cataclysm, Moira's father, King Magni, will turn into stone. Along with her uncle Muradin and Thane Falstad Wildhammer, she will take Magni's place in the High Seat in Ironforge, representing the Dark Iron Dwarves. King Varian Wrynn sends agents of SI:7 to assassinate Moira, sensing that the events in Ironforge would send a shockwave through the Alliance, and they are apparently successful."

[Frioz]

And nothing of value was lost.

[ThExPriDe]

Ha, her name is Moira

You're aware that the Dark Irons have been trying to forcefully take over Ironforge, right? What do you think she plans on doing?

[Tikaru]

I never liked her anyways.

Hopefully those Dark Irons GTFO of Ironforge after that.

[Crawford]

Yeah. The Dark Iron dwarves are in league with Ragnaros. I don't understand why they would be allowed representation in the Alliance.

[ChaosWolf]

Because "apparently" now means "definitely, without question, doubt, or uncertainty", right guys?

[Markluzz]

Varian just gained more of my respect, you should know the dark iron dwarves are with ragnoras, this will end up helping the dwarves in the long run.

[Warboss K]

Wynn assassinates Moira by poking her her eye with his chin.

1. King Magni still cares about his daughter, although she's gone over to the Dark Iron Dwarf's side. Not to mention, that old quest where she was already carrying the baby of the last ruler of the Dark Iron Dwarfs. Still. With Magni and his brothers incapacitated (and the current leader of the Wildhammers), it puts the dwarven nation without a ruler. I bet the curse is something initated by the dark iron dwarves and Moira to seize control of the Kingdom. If it comes to that, Varian will have little choice. Find a cure for Magni and the stone turned dwarves, or a more drastic action would be to assassinate Moira. I don't think Varian's being an ass here. But the threat to the Alliance is one that cannot be ignored. It could however make things worse for the dwarves and the alliance in some way.

Ok, so lets just say this. First off, judging by the picture of her in IF, i doubt she died unless its phased. Secondly, its a dick move because she was looking for peace(or so it said) it wasnt a plot, it was not a plot as far as we know.

[Garekh]

Magni supposedly chose to turn himself to stone.

It was a deal he made with the Elementals in order to protect Ironforge from the Cataclysm.

[Badgers]

Varian is defending his faction?

OMG WTF WHAT A DOUCHE.

Yes, but that is still interfering in an allied nation's sovereignty. That is a big "no-no" in international relations no matter how honorable the intentions. This becomes a much greater breech of sovereignty if he does coordinates this without Muradin or Falstad. If Magni Bronzebeard is unpetrified, how do you think he will react after hearing that his daughter came back only to be killed by SI:7 under Varian Wrynn's orders? As a frequent dwarf player, I found Varian's actions appalling once I first heard of this rumor.

if what is stated is true, the alliance killed their leader so ya they probably would be hostile.

Edit: This is only what im guessing from what others have said, but from what i've heard Moira was trying to get peace and was killed

As a fellow Dwarf player, I'd ask Varian if I could call the death blow on that *****.

I love Magni and all, but sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the good of our people. It seems like he knows this considering his choice to turn to stone.

[Daemaro]

The Dark Iron Dwarves serve Ragnaros, who serves the Old Gods. Why not just put C'thun in a top hat and drag him into the throne room?

Because that would hurt his eye. A fancy contact would be better.

This pretty much sums up every Horde argument about Varian.
