Wait, Varian is telling Jaina to be reasonable?
WTF IS THIS?

Aaaand another transcript, for the scene after you turn this one in:
King Varian Wrynn says: Jaina! What's happening in Dalaran? Has there been an attack?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: The Kirin Tor was betrayed from within. I've handled the situation.
King Varian Wrynn says: How?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I've purged the Horde from Dalaran. You have what you wanted, Your Majesty: The Kirin Tor belongs to the Alliance.
King Varian Wrynn says: But you said-
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I know what I said. My trust was misplaced.
King Varian Wrynn says: What of the Sin'dorei - the Sunreavers?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Those that surrendered are being taken to the Violet Hold. I make no guarantees about those who chose to fight.
King Varian Wrynn says: Jaina, you need to talk to me before you act-
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: How I run the Kirin Tor is my business.
King Varian Wrynn says: I was trying to negotiate with the Sin'dorei. I was opening discussions to bring them into the Alliance! By attacking their people, you've forced their hand-
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: They chose their own path.
King Varian Wrynn says: You've driven them back to the Horde.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: You're fooling yourself. Once Horde, always Horde. I see that now. I'm mobilizing the Kirin Tor.
King Varian Wrynn says: Jaina. We've got to work together on this. The Alliance must act as one.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Don't get soft on me, Varian.

Jaina: This entire city must be purged.
Player: How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way
Jaina: Damn it, <class>. As the head of Kirin Tor, I order you to purge this city.
Player: You are not the head of the Alliance yet, girl. Nor would I obey that command if you were!
Jaina: Then I must consider this an act of treason. So there will be no Grand Gryphon for you.
Player: I'm sorry, Blood Elves...

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Nowhere to RunLevel 15-35
Compliant Sunreavers will be sent to the Violet Hold. Defiant ones are put to the sword. NONE are to escape. The Sunreavers keep their dragonhawk mounts on Krasus' Landing. Take this dust, and use it to render them incapable of flying. Or kill them. I don't care.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Harmonic MalletLevel 15-35
<name>! Prince Anduin has somehow slipped his guards again. His control over the light is greatly increasing. He was last seen heading to Kun-Lai Summit. He gave our mages the slip around the Valley of Emperors. Can you find him?
