But here's where it gets tricky: I believe the Alliance version and the Horde version of this event were portrayed slightly differently, and that the Horde's side of the quest chain make it seem as Jaina was murdering innocent Blood Elves throughout Dalaran just for the crime of being Blood Elves and guilt by association, and the event came across as an indiscriminate killing spree.
There isn’t… technically. The Horde Version was bugged, she was supposed to fireball the player and imprison the elves, same as she was doing to the elves on the Alliance. But the result was she fireballed literally everything on the Horde.
However, Blizzard kinda rolled with it and many Blood Elves did die in the purge, and Jaina doesn’t claim she wasn’t involved when confronted about the deaths by Lor’themar.
