    The daughter of the sea

    So, what happened to the Alliance story of BFA?

    We were talking about Jaina, that we were seeing all over BFA and the loading screen.

    She was mad at the Horde and reached out to her father.

    She bought a cottage in Drustvar, which she will restore and turn into a b&b.

    She decided it is finally time to settle down into a normal life.

    She made the mistake of questioning the Horde which is always clearly wrong. Even worse, she was in the position of a good character doing justice against bad people. This ALWAYS leads to either softcocking or 'being evil'. It happens every single time.

    Holding any grievances at all is wrong. Forgive everything. Forget everything. Only one person is responsible for everything wrong in the world.
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.

    And it is Sylvanas. She is the only one who rejected Anduin.

    Maybe she should, just not settle down with a dragon. Bestiality is just creepy and wrong, man.

    Well, you know the saying... "We don't get to hide."

    Well, it is not like she will be forgotten.
    Adverts about the new b&b ran by Jaina will soon pop up in major cities and the reviews are stellar.

    So people will say: this was her true calling. Running a succesful b&b.

    She has become one of the strongest mortal mages in history so she probably became her mother's personal enforcer/bodyguard, and tax collector. We'll see her back in the action someday but for now she needs to spend some time with her parents for all the years they missed.

    The Horde is NEVER to blame, that's what happened. It's always "the demon blood/Legion/Blackhand/Gul'dan/Orgrim/Garrosh/Sylvanas MADE us massacre you! It's not our fault!"

    The lesson of Warcraft is that genocide is okay so long as one participant feels sad about it.

    It's hilarious how easily forgiven people are for their crimes in the Warcraft universe. Grom in WoD anyone?

    It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they gave Arthas a redemption arc in Shadowlands.

    It would make sense that she would die given her story arc, unless they put her on the back burner like they did with Thrall and bring her back again later.

    They've already laid the groundwork that Arthas wanted to build an army against the Legion, so all that mass death, torture, and horrors are just fine.

    i always figured the Illidan arc from legion was originally planned for arthas... mostly cause a turned paladin arc sounds more like a 'child of light and shadow' than what they did with demon hunters

    Well she got sentenced to death but then Ashvane decided Exile was better so she had her dropped off on a random island off of Stormsong Valley by the pirates of Freehold where Drust just happen to kidnap people from to their dimension of Thros. Then Gorak Tul spent all our time leveling in Kul Tiras poking fun at Jaina whilst she felt sorry for herself until her mother finally decided that having her daughter executed might have not been what she really wanted to happen (good thing Ashvane didn't kill her as ordered) and then wants the player to help recover her. Then after Jaina has her pity party interrupted by her mother and the player she decides to admit Daelin was right for wanting to eradicate the Horde and then kills Gorak Tul with no effort before returning to Boralus Harbour to MacGuffin the Kultiran fleet back from wherever it had fucked off to.

    Then a patch later after thoroughly helping to screw over the Zandalari and forcing them fully into the conflict, Jaina agrees to meet a living stack of steaks who returns her displaced recently un-deceased brother and she decides to completely reverse her new conviction and view point on the Horde and blame Sylvanas for everything.

    tl;dr Alliance got nothing this expansion. No choices like the Horde, no development like the Horde, and no 4 CG cinematics about our characters like the Horde (in an expansion where Genn and Jaina had so much potential.)

    Don't worry though, Horde players are already crying about Ardenweald. How dare the Alliance get anything.

    She is a noble hero now who never did anything wrong and makes "we are all brothers" comment to Anduin while the Horde ad admits to being evil and the cause everything bad.

    Last we saw, she was thirsting hard for some Thrall's green meat. Somehow that is the most sense Jaina as a character made in last couple of years.
