She makes her move to Quel'thalas, uses her identity as a Windrunner to infiltrate and get close to the Sunwell, takes it over and enacts Midnight. Something in 11.1.5 will signal the move to Quel'thalas, though I'm not certain yet. Perhaps something with the Arathi.
I've been thinking about the Ethereals being an enemy in 11.2 and how that connects, and I keep returning to the 10.2.7 Dark Heart questline where we see the Shadowguard attacking Ulduar. Could Xal be using the Ethereals as the tech-advanced race they are to try and crack the Titan technology within the Manifold/Worldcore? Lol, imagine the mental gymnastics that would be done to give Ethereals as a playable race but they're Thraegar/Azeroth magic Ethereals instead.
