At the start of the novel it says Malfurion and Tyrande retreated to Nordrassil and aren't particularly interested in reading Anduin's missives.
Honestly, I doubt we'll get much more than that - I'm about half way in and the plot is slowly picking up pace, centering itself around whatever Nathanos is doing in Zandalar. The Night Elves aren't really a big part of this book, at least so far.
There is nothing about new capital. I suppose this is quite big event for the book. About Hyjal there is one chapter (Thrall's pov mostly)

The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
You mean the city of orcs was still full of orcs?
The difference here is that void elves are not the predominant population of SW but served as 2 of the bosses and were ubiquitous throughout.
I noted there were corrupted humans and dwarves (which tracks as they form large percentages of the city's populace - just like the orcs of Org) but to hand wave away the significant void elf presence is to be nearing willful blindness.
Put another way -
If the vulpera were everywhere in the Org Horrific Vision with Kiro serving as the final boss and Nisha as a minor boss, wouldn't you be concerned?

The Horrific Visions of Orgrimmar and Stormwind are manifestly not real, though; they're the fever dreams of N'Zoth. You can't really project or impute much of anything from them, really; because they're just examples of what N'Zoth wants from the Azeroth he planned to bring about. Alleria in her madness in the Horrific Vision of Stormwind might've put all the other Void Elves to death, for example, just as she killed her own husband and was preparing to sacrifice her son to N'Zoth.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
I'm not denying void elves can succumb to the whispers, I am saying that any race can succumb to the whispers, and the Visions of N'Zoth are proof of that. Some people should stop thinking that void elves are a special case. They are not. And there weren't only corrupted orcs in Orgrimmar, there were also many corrupted non-orcs. You are also forgetting that Orgrimmar is not just a city of orcs, it stopped being one at the end of WotLK. Orgrimmar is a cultural melting pot in which people of many Horde races live. The crowd at Saurfang's funeral highlights the racial variety found in the city.
Also funny how you are downplaying hard the presence of a lot of corrupted non-void elf races in Stormwind. There is a significant presence of void elves only in the Cathedral and Mage District -- which, not surprisingly, are the only two districts with a void elf mini-boss at the end. And even in those two void elf districts there are still many corrupted human npcs.

So basically the whole book is about fiction faction created to give Blood Elves to Alliance just like they created Wrynn to have somewhat cool characters because canonically they all are with the Horde.
Thanks for posting, easy pass.
It is still mostly populated by orcs and thus explains why they'd make up the largest contingent of the hostile npcs - I'm not saying they were the only corrupted inhabitants nor am I stating that only certain races get corrupted.
I'm highlighting that in one specific instance (SW) a tiny population of void elves was dis-proportionally represented in the Vision.
Also they are also the fallen taskmasters in the dwarven district. Void elves are all over the place at a disproportionate and worrisome level is the point I am making.
