Description

Compliant Sunreavers will be sent to the Violet Hold. Defiant ones are put to the sword.

Or kill them. I don't care.

I did care so I used the sleeping powder.

The whole point of being Alliance is to actually have principles. No reason to kill the Dragonhawks when there's a better solution.

And I hope no one randomly kills the displaced Sunreavers in the streets, along the same lines (Jaina wanders around the perimeters and ports them to the Violet Hold).

Took me two hours to figure this out, but hopefully this will save the rest of you a lot of time/frustration:

1.) IF YOU NEED TO GET BACK IN PHASE TO FINISH/TURN IN QUESTS, go back to Krasarang Wilds and talk to the NPC Seamus Goldenkicks <Portal-Mage> at Lion's Landing.

2.) IF YOU WANT TO PREVENT/FIX THE BUG FROM HAPPENING, I am pretty sure I know what is causing it. Go back to Theramore and tell the NPC Zidormi that you want to be taken back to the present. If your Theramore is currently phased to the past, then you will have phasing problems when you try to enter the Sunreaver's section of Dalaran to complete these quests. If your Theramore is currently phased to the present, then you should be fine.

It's saddening when people say the Alliance can be the only one with principles. It was Thrall and Kalec who stopped Jaina from a murderous, genocidal rampage through Orgrimmar. It was Baine Bloodhoof who felt sickened when the mana bomb dropped on Theramore - after warning Jaina of what was to come - despite the utter loss of Camp Taurajo. It was Vol'jin who took a dagger in the gut while trying to prevent Garrosh from gaining Mogu power over flesh. And yet it's Jaina who murders blood elves in the streets of a neutral Dalaran, thrusting them into a war that isn't theirs to fight.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cashing OutLevel 15-35

    I just saw one of the Sunreavers - Brasael, I think his name was - running off in the direction of the bank to the north. No doubt he's trying to gather whatever assets he can before he leaves. Head him off and make sure he doesn't steal any resources from our coffers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What Had To Be DoneLevel 15-35

    Thank you for your aid today, <name>. I will be handling the purge from here on out. Jaina will soon be off to Lion's Landing, to speak with King Varian. She asked for your attendance.
