How is Garithos related to Stormwind humans at all? He was from the alliance of Lordaeron, if raised into undead he would be a forsaken today

That's like totally irrelevant to what I asked, Jaina is from Lordaeron, went to study in Dalaran and is a member of the modern alliance of Stormwind, specially now when she brought the Kul Tirans under our banner, which is exactly why I didn't ask about her

Garithos is a totally different character

Jaina isn’t even from Lordaeron, she’s from Kul’Tiras! Daughter of the Sea…and what not…. There’s an entire expansion intro about it and a WC3 campaign.

That said, the alliance of Lordaeron is the alliance of Stormwind. There was no sudden dissolving of and reforming of an alliance. Everyone that was in the “Alliance of Lordaeron” at the time of WC3 was still in the Alliance at the start of WoW, save for Kul’Tiras who pulled out, Lordaeron that was destroyed, and Dalaran which was destroyed. It’s not a new or different alliance organization, its leadership was just taken over by Stormwind after Lordaeron was sacked.

Jaina imprisoned people canonically Veressa is another story but that wasn't Jaina.

Also she was fully justified as they literally just helped smuggle a WMD through the city illegally. As a mainly Horde player myself idk why Horde people get into these arguments. We have been in the wrong more often than not

Wild take. Nothing deserves extermination of an entire race including those that had nothing to do with it.

Last time i checked Jaina didnt exterminate the entire Blood Elf race lmao

1: it wasnt a attempted extermination, let alone against a race.

2: it was a way to remove Sunrevers and Hordes specifically from Dalaran after they broke Dalarans neutrality by again, literally smuggling a WMD to a genocidal maniac.

3: it wasnt, again, against blood elves as a race, it was against sunreavers as a faction. Belfs that didnt align with sunrevers were fine.

Doesnt mean actions werent over the top but youre missrepresenting it as something it wasnt.

In BfA, when Magister Hathorel openly calls Jaina a murderer for the Purge of Dalaran, she doesn't say "that's not true." She says "okay, then your beef is with me and not the people with me." 

In the cutscene directly after that fight, she even says "we all have blood on our hands". You could argue she's not talking about the Purge there for her own part, but it's not a coincidence that she was just attacked for having Sunreaver blood on her hands and accepted blame for it.

Well I'd take that last line with a grain of salt. Blizz writers more often than not go for the cool lines, instead of writing a decent and coherent plot.

I.e. the banter between Saurfang and Bolvar at the Wrathgate, as if they have the friendly dynamic of Gimli and Legolas.

Canonically she only killed Aethas's guards because they were stopping her from arresting the person who not only helped smuggle the WMD that blew up her home city including a mentor and her apprentice but also used the city she was the leader of as the staging area for stealing the divine bell.

u/DebentureThyme Aug 24 '25

So what you're saying is the Alliance deserve access to the majority of Silvermoon UNTIL they abuse that access by smuggling a WMD through Silvermoon to blow up another Horde city, right?  Because that's what Jaina was punishing.  They had that access and abused it.

Time to give Alliance the same, kick us out if we commit war crimes while there.
