and SUnreavers are made up of Blood Elves...who existed back then

perhaps
There is still some bad blood between High Elves and Horde, since this isnt the first time they changed sides
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
I got the feeling that Lorthemar doesn't much like the Horde or the Alliance, and the reason he was even talking to Varian was he wanted protection from Garrosh's revenge when he left the Horde. I think Garrosh has done such damage to the Horde that it is held together out of fear of being preyed on by the Alliance rather than any mutual trust or friendship. The whole "Stand together or hang separately" deal. There is probably too much built up distrust and animosity for any offers of peace from either side to be believable.
A really good Alliance diplomat could probably destroy the Horde without swinging a sword.
They wouldn't have been the ones who rejoined Dalaran as "the Sunreavers" though. They'd either be dead (like Kael), or in a fury over it (like Rommath). Almost all of the elves Garithos tried to execute were with Kael'thas.
The Sunreavers are just BE magi who had interest in or ties to the Kirin Tor in the past. They wouldn't have been the ones Garithos tried to murder.
some of the Elves who stayed behind as others went to Outland would have eventually joined the Sunreavers. As the Horde went to Northrend some would find service in Dalaran.
In the Lorth'mar short story, he said somethin along the lines that as he sent his people up to Northrend, some would no doubt join with the Aethas.

The Elves of Quel'Thalas have had bumpy histories with both the Horde and Alliance. They are in a not-so-snug spot.

When Kael'thas sided with the Naga, the High Elves in Dalaran were still the High Elves. Not Blood Elves. I doubt they tried to execute any of the High Elves in Dalaran. They had nothing to do with Kael'thas. That would include the Silver Covenant High Elves just as much, like Vereesa. The ones being prepared for execution were the group of Blood Elves who accompanied Kael'thas. Not the High Elves who were living in Dalaran for thousands of years and had nothing to do with Kael'thas.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There are blood elves who would love to join (or rejoin) Dalaran, and Theron knew it... but they wouldn't have been the ones sentenced to die in its dungeons. They'd probably share Rommath's outlook if they were.In the Lorth'mar short story, he said somethin along the lines that as he sent his people up to Northrend, some would no doubt join with the Aethas.
I mean, we've see that the Sunreavers have a pretty large civilian and "average elf" population. None of them would have had any bad experiences with the Kirin Tor before the purge; few, if any of them would have been part of Kael's army.
There's nothing to suggest there were high elves living in the city during the whole Garithos fiasco, or that anyone had renounced the "sin'dorei" name at all at that point. In fact, Vereesa and the Silver Covenant are exiles, suggesting they only went back to Dalaran after Rommath returned from Outland and Theron kicked them out of Quel'Thalas.

I wouldn't doubt Aethas will be a boss in Siege.
Steals the Anima from Lor'themar and betrays the Blood Elves because Lor'themar is taking Jaina's side.
The fact they can't say tells me Aethas's betrayal is being addressed in 5.4 or 5.5.

Except that pne point when the Scourge butt-raped it.
And then Garithos eventually re-took it

You dont have to be fel-corrupted to be a blood elf. The name is just a hommage to all those dead.
They have the Sunwell back and yet still embrace the name and heritage

I didn't doubt that emote was put there to signify something.
Ok...I feel like we are starting to talk about something else.....
Anyways...my original point. The division in Quel'Thalas did not happen until shortly before BC.
So there were no different groups of Elves when Garithos was at the helm. Only one, those with Kael.

because they left Silvermoon after Romnath and others taught people new methods of sating their addiction
