jaina alliance character in nazjatar?????

[Doffen]

This reminds me of when Genn tanked a black arrow and nothing happened.

Wolf potential is great.

[seleri]

Like someone said, Jaina makes more sense initially since we have no idea where we're going at first. According to everything they've said so far, Azshara seems to catch us off guard and drop us down into Nazjatar.

Once we're there and realize we're finally taking the fight to Azshara, it really would be a shame if Tyrande and/or Malfurion don't show up at some point though. Same for Farondis and, even though she doesn't have any direct history with Azshara, Thalyssra.

[Zandalariprelate]

We need Arthas back to cull some humans, Jaina and Nathanos taking the spotlight and even "grudges" from people they never interacted is getting tiresome. I hope to see Talanji and Graal doing some WQ and some sidestory in Nazjatar

[Revamp Man]

OMG guys jaina is like totally chasing sylvanas across the ocean and shit goes down..... doesn't make sense to me why the elves who are having a hate boner for the Invaders of their home wouldn't be there

[Nize]

I don't think the whole "they're fighting at Darkshore" thing works to write them off the naga story. Timeline-wise, I believe that battle is over. If not, it doesn't mean Tyrande/Malf can't move around either. Look at Nathanos. He's in the Darkshore, but still participated in the Battle of Dazar'alor and will be in the Nazjatar as well.

What they CAN be doing is to have a small sect of Night Elves, similar in vein to the ones that kamikaze'd in Nazmir prior to BoD, escort both Tyrande and Malfurion, whose story will come to fruition once we're up against Azshara, while the main army can still remain Jaina and Kul Tiras.

Nathanos is no longer in Darkshore, it can be assumed that the alliance won.

[Sangris]

I swear, at this rate one day Anduin is just gonna bubble hearth out of battle. Although that'd be pretty hilarious if it happened

Considering they decided to make hearthstones canon (because like with spirit healers, they feel the idiotic need to make gameplay mechanics canon), like when Tyrande used one to teleport Malfurion to Stormwind after Saurfang hit him during his fight with Sylvanas, I'd say there is actually a chance of it happening. And Blizzard will think players will see the reference and enjoy it in good humor. They do the same with "Not prepared" and "Merely a setback", even though those are not only not funny (and never were), but downright annoying.

[derpkitteh]

considering the history here, tyrande and malfurion should be the ones for alliance and lor'themar and thalyssra should be the ones for the horde.

hell, even farondis needs to show up.

[MikeBogina]

Why would Malfurion and Tyrande who are trying to reclaim Darkshore, be out at sea by Zandalar/Kultiras? Sure they're the people who have the most relation to Azshara, but they're not involved in the current story that takes place in that area.

This isn't the Molten Front, where the Horde and Alliance are working together and all the heroes show up(basically the entire world knows about the danger), this is more like Vashjir where the characters involved happen to be people that were in the area and is probably going to be an event that most of the world doesn't know about, until it's after. Kinda like how AQ was a world event, where everyone knew about it and was pitching in, but most people probably don't even know that another Old God named G'huun almost got free.

Thalyssra probably could have been worked in there, but we've got Lor'themar at least. Hopefully the writers remember that he's a decedent of the Highborne of Zin-azshara who were the closest to Azshara. I'm not really sure what Jaina will have to say, she really has nothing to do with Azshara, but then again she had nothing to do with LeiShen either.


I think Jaina and Lor'themar are purposely picked actually, because this is Garrosh 2.0 and those were the 2 that were involved with LeiShen, the 5.2 baddie(now we're doing 8.2) and maybe they're will be more than just Azshara's plot, but them coming to terms with what Jaina did to the Blood Elves and possibly forgiveness? We know at the end of 5.2's story that Lor'themar and Jaina agreed that Garrosh needs to be stopped, and I feel like we're going to have a repeat.

[therealstegblob]

I mean what do you expect with Christie Golden being a senior writer? The only reason Horde get Lor'themar is because Baine is being used for something else and Danuser still managed to put Nathanos in the picture.

ITT: Someone who has no idea how the writing team works.

[Maljinwo]

I'd rather have Gral's followers getting revenge on the Naga
And the Darkspear
And the Nightborne getting to see what they narrowly avoided

While on the Alliance we could get... Uhmm...
Kul Tirans I guess

[Chickat]

It makes sense to me, the lord admiral is in control of the fleet hunting down the horde. Remember that the alliance have no idea that they are headed up to Nazjatar, Tyrande being at the helm of a fleet chasing some random horde ship makes less sense than her trying to take back her home.

I agree. It should be Nathanos and Jaina.

Maybe by the 2nd or 3rd week of story Tyrande and or Malfurion will show up, but not at first.

Potential Fate

In a desperate gamble, the Alliance was planing to outfit hundreds of their best and brightest with the magic and technological items necessary to survive underwater. With the help of some allied makrura, they planned to stage an attack on Nazjatar. However, the attack would simply be a distraction in order to allow a small group of adventurers to enter the city, steal into the palace, overcome Queen Azshara's defenses, capture her, and return her to the surface. The Alliance plans to either siphon the captured queen's arcane powers or use her to enlist the help of the naga against the Scourge.

I don't think Alliance players quite realise it yet but you're not going to Azshara to defeat her. I'm fairly certain Jaina is going to try to manipulate Azshara into destroying the Sylvanas. And I'm pretty sure N'zoth is going to let her.

Was that in the RPG? Sounds like vomit-worthy RPG lore right there.

Yeah, well, between most of Pandaria's lore; Tandred Proudmoore; Boralus; House Waycrest; the Javelins of Suramar and Techno Mages: You may want to reevaluate that stance, mate. It looks like these books, which actually were directed and edited by Metzen himself by the double-u, have made their way into the hands of people on the live game.

In actual fact, half of WoW appeared in these books before they even made it into Classic's Beta, they aren't as non-canon as we were lead to believe. Every inch of Northrend that didn't appear in WC3 was first revealed in these books.

They're non-canon entirely. Some of their events might make it into WoW but many (Thank god) will not. Keep in mind that the RPG books also said that Alexstraza would be the one to reignight the Sunwell and that the Blood Elves and Night Elves would try to stop her.

[eurojust]

The night elves are already on the verge of extermination, and you want their leaders to insta tp to go with Jaina just because "omg it's azshara, and they fought her 10 000 years ago!!!"
Also Tyrande and Malfurion can't even defend their own people, why would we need them against Azshara?

[RangerDaz]

but it is azshara the greatest enemy of tyrande and malfurion!

That is an undeniable fact that Azshara is one of their arch enemies. It would make sense for both of them be present on Azshara raid, temporary leaving the wardens the lead to defend Darkshore.

[Hellspawn]

Nathanos is no longer in Darkshore, it can be assumed that the alliance won.

It would be at least supported by the Alliance talking after the Dazar'alor raid:
“My king, the attack on Zuldazar was a resounding success.”
“The Horde is losing on all fronts. The Alliance should achieve victory in a matter of weeks.”

Not sure if all fronts include Arathi and/or Darshore ... but its the only hint I could find.

[shade3891]

The night warrior will surely join the fight and stir things up when she sees a horde npc when we actually need to unite against the Naga Queen.

[steelballfc]

Man, what is it with Blood Elf and elf fanboys in general making these poorly thought out, even more poorly worded threads about elves?

Elf fans are like the crossfit vaping vegans of the fantasy world.

all elf's should die

[matrix123mko]

We get Nathanos in the elf plot, you get Jaina. The cycle of life can be cruel.

Isn't Nathanos an elf honoris causa?

Could say same about cows.

Could say same about cows.

if that was the price for elf's death i accept
