Full Transcript of the conversation you have for The Fate of Dalaran:

------------[1]------------------------
Varian sent you as well? I'm outnumbered in my own city!

<Jaina's eyes flash mischievously.>

Let's go about this a different way. Put yourself in my shoes. Imagine that YOU are the leader of the Kirin Tor. <name>! The most influential archmage in all of Azeroth!

What would YOU do?
------------------
<REPLY>I would commit our order to an Alliance victory! <go to [2]>
------------------
<REPLY>I would struggle to maintain our neutrality. <go to [5]>

------------[2]------------------------
Spoken like a stalwart Alliance <class>! Believe me, I understand the sentiment.

Now then, as leader of the Kirin Tor and a faithful part of the Alliance, what would you do about the Sunreavers? True, they are advocates of the Horde. But they have been allies and productive members of the Kirin Tor for over 2000 years. This city is their home.

Would you expel them?
------------------
<REPLY>Yes. Horde is Horde. <go to [3]>
------------------
<REPLY>Not if they renounced the Horde. <go to [4]>

------------[3]------------------------
<Jaina's eyes grow sad.>

So... you would purge the city? Cast the Sunreavers from their homes? The very same Sunreavers who helped humans discover magic in the first place?

You and I are obviously very different. I suppose I see my role - and the mission of the Kirin Tor - a little differently. My mind is set. Would you like to hear what I think?
------------------
<REPLY>What do you think? <go to [ending]>

------------[4]------------------------
<Jaina brushes her hair from her eyes, deep in thought.>

You're so passionate for your cause and clear in convictions. Believe me when I say that the Sunreavers are the same. The Horde is their family.

Not all of them support Garrosh. But they're not about to abandon their own people... I couldn't ask them to without tearing the Kirin Tor apart.

The Kirin Tor is sacred to me. We need to stay united.
------------------
<REPLY>Are you sure? <go to [ending]>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

------------[5]------------------------
Ah! A very bold decision in times like these. Your honesty is refreshing!

Tell me, leader of the Kirin Tor, what if the Horde killed your friends? Your family? Destroyed everything your had. Could you maintain your conviction even then, Archmage <name>?
------------------
<REPLY>Yes - The Kirin Tor must remain above faction squabbles. <go to [6]>
------------------
<REPLY>I'm not sure if I could. <go to [7]>

------------[6]------------------------
<Jaina smiles.>

If only we all shared your strength and conviction! To be honest, I struggle. Every. Day.

But you are right. The Kirin Tor is bigger then you, me, Alliance or Horde. I have a responsibility to preserve it, and to use its powers wisely.

You and I seem to agree. I doubt the King sees it that way. But... do you think we can convince Anduin?
------------------
<REPLY>Let's talk to him. <go to [ending]>

------------[7]------------------------
<Jaina warms to you immediately.>

A kindred soul! Thank you, <name>, for your honesty. You seem to understand my struggle. Every day, the hard decisions. Every night... the nightmares.

But I have a responsibility to preserve the Kirin Tor. I'm glad you are with me on this. The King would never see it this way. Do you think we can explain it to Anduin?
------------------
<REPLY>Let's talk to him. <go to [ending]>

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Nobody dislikes Garrosh more than me. I wrestle with my anger every day.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Come with me - look around you a moment.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: In the aftermath of Theramore, my first instinct was to decimate Orgrimmar - to kill every man woman and child in the city.
Anduin Wrynn says: ...Jaina!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I'm not proud. Since then, Kalecgos and I have talked at length about power, and how it should be used.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: The Kirin-Tor has a legacy of abuse. Kel'thuzad turned his knowledge of the arcane arts toward Necromancy.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Kael'thas Sunstrider was also a student here, another of our fold who betrayed us.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Every day I ask myself: "What's the right thing to do?"
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Anduin, you know more than anyone, it's important to separate the Horde from its people.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: The Sunreavers still operate within this city. Alliance and Horde work together.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: As long as we stay above the war, then there's hope for the world as a whole.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I see our city as a beacon of light, showing the way.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: If we can trust one another here, then there's hope for the rest of the world.
Anduin Wrynn says: I understand. I'll talk to my father.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Thank you, Anduin.

Description

Jaina is refusing to hear me out. Father was hoping I would have some pull with her, but I think she still sees me as a child. You, on the other hand, are a hero of the Alliance and I know she respects your deeds. Is there something you can say to her to convince her we need her help?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Kirin TorLevel 15-35

    <name>, King Varian has asked that I send you after his son to Dalaran. He believes you can help negotiate the withdrawal of blood elves there. These "Sunreavers" claim fealty to the Horde and represent a major threat to the war effort.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To MogujiaLevel 15-35

    The Explorers' League sent an expedition north some days ago. We haven't heard from them since, and I'd sleep better at night knowing our folks aren't in some sort of trouble. Last I heard, Brann Bronzebeard was heading toward Mogujia in the Kun-Lai Summit.
