When her magical talent was discovered after the Second War , [22] Katherine had to fight Daelin to allow Jaina to be taught at Dalaran , though their daughter didn't know of this.
One day during a prayer session in the Menethil family chapel , Jaina for the first time met the year-old Prince Arthas , heir to the throne of Lordaeron, who thought Jaina looked like someone who was well accustomed to riding and hiking, spent a great deal of time outdoors, and would not mind having a snowball pelted in her face or going for a swim on a hot day. Arthas volunteered to escort Jaina to Dalaran along with her guards and servants.
One night during the journey, the prince convinced her to sneak off with him and look at one of the internment camps where the Alliance kept orcs imprisoned—the first real adventure they had together. Unlike Arthas, Jaina found herself feeling compassion for the captive orcs, even though the Horde had killed her older brother Derek during the Second War.
Jaina spent the following years studying as a member of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran. Shortly after, Arthas visited Dalaran for a few months under the pretense of studying history so that he could get an opportunity to court Jaina. During a ride outside the city, the two kissed for the first time and began a romantic relationship, much to Kael'thas' chagrin.
They initially kept their affair secret from the public in order to avoid feeding the rumor mill, but over the following year, Jaina began visiting Capital City during holidays. At Hallow's End , after Jaina used a fire spell to ignite the wickerman to the crowd's delight, she and Arthas retreated to the prince's rooms and had sex for the first time.
Afterward, Jaina promised Arthas that she would never deny him. Jaina was subsequently invited to spend the winter in Capital City and began being treated as a member of the royal family, as everyone assumed that she and Arthas would marry and have children soon. However, during a Winter Veil ball a few weeks after Hallow's End, Arthas began questioning whether the two of them were ready to be together and abruptly ended the relationship so that Jaina could focus on her magical studies in Dalaran and Arthas could focus on his commitments to Lordaeron.
Jaina was very hurt by the decision but did not fight him on it, eventually realizing and agreeing that it was the right thing to do at the time.
Both of them agreed to remain friends. A few years later, Antonidas, eager to learn more about the mysterious plague sweeping northern Lordaeron, was met by the Prophet , who pleaded with the wizard to take his people west to Kalimdor.
Antonidas dismissed the Prophet as nothing more than a madman, but Jaina, who had been watching from hiding, sensed great power in the Prophet and thought that perhaps they should heed his warnings.
Antonidas continued to disagree and instead sent Jaina to meet with Arthas and investigate the plague at the northern village of Brill. After some initial awkwardness, Arthas and Jaina began rekindling their relationship, with the prince hoping that the two of them could finally get married once they had solved the mystery of the plague.
Neither of them knew that the Scourge invasion would change their lives forever. As they investigated Brill, Jaina saw some very strange things, including a necromancer and a zombie made of various parts of several corpses. They faced off against several undead enemies and came upon a granary which contained grain infested with the Plague.
The crates bore the seal of Andorhal , the primary distributor of grain throughout Lordaeron. Chasing the necromancer, who was actually Kel'Thuzad , formerly a member of the Kirin Tor, to Andorhal, they found a mass of undead warriors waiting for them, but fought their way through to Kel'Thuzad, where Arthas killed him.
Jaina and Arthas made their way back to central Lordaeron, and they stopped for rest at the small town of Hearthglen. When they arrived they discovered that the plague-infected grain from Andorhal had arrived and had been distributed amongst the townsfolk. They were transforming into the undead. Jaina reluctantly, but hastily left to find Uther for reinforcements. She teleported back to Dalaran where Antonidas sent for Uther. When she returned with the Silver Hand at her back, Hearthglen was all but destroyed, and Arthas was fighting a losing battle.
With Uther's help, though, they managed to push back the undead attackers. Arthas, demoralized and horrified by overwhelming forces of undead, vowed to go to Stratholme , where he hoped to fight Mal'Ganis. Worried about what the hatred for Mal'Ganis was doing to Arthas, Jaina used an invisibility spell and caught up with him on the road after he had an encounter with the same Prophet who had accosted Antonidas.
The two continued toward Stratholme until dusk, at which point the two made camp and slept with each other, pushing away thoughts of death and plagues and finding comfort in each other.
The following day, Arthas, Jaina, and Uther reached Stratholme but didn't arrive in time to stop the townspeople from eating the tainted grain. All three knew that the people of Stratholme would soon become undead and attack them. Arthas was in favor of slaughtering the people before their transformation to purge the town, but Uther could not condone murdering helpless people whose only crime was being infected, even if leaving them alive meant they would soon become a threat.
When Uther refused to kill the civilians as Arthas ordered, Arthas renounced him, accusing him of treason. He demanded that any true to the king stay with him and see to the town's destruction.
Unable to watch Arthas massacre the city, a tearful Jaina departed with Uther. Arthas was shocked and wounded by Jaina's decision, seeing it as a betrayal of the promise she had made the night they became lovers. After purging Stratholme, Arthas met with Jaina and pleaded with her to accompany him to Northrend to hunt Mal'Ganis, but she refused and warned him that it sounded like a trap.
The following day, [25] Jaina and Uther returned to Stratholme's burning ruins. Both were appalled at what Arthas and his men had wrought. After revealing to Uther where Arthas had gone with Lordaeron's fleet, Jaina was visited by the mysterious prophet who had previously visited Terenas, Antonidas, and Arthas.
The prophet sensed her leadership abilities and urged her to take the people she could with her to the west, fleeing Lordaeron and her home country of Kul Tiras. Many months later, Arthas and the Scourge began their invasion of Dalaran. It was at this moment, Jaina and Antonidas realized that the prophet had been right. Antonidas encouraged Jaina to take as many survivors of Lordaeron she could find and sail west for Kalimdor. Jaina decided to follow his words and made preparations.
At some point before leaving but after the fall of Quel'Thalas , she tried to console Kael, who was saddened by his father's death. Yet Kael angrily rejected her consolation and rebuked her for favoring such a "monster" Arthas over him. After this, she witnessed Arthas' army approaching Dalaran, at first wanting to confront him personally but faltering after recalling her previous failed attempts to sway him. Though she offered to help her mentor and the magi of Dalaran defend the city against the Scourge, Antonidas insisted that she tend to her other duties and lead what remained of her people across the Great Sea.
Jaina in Warcraft III. Upon arriving on Kalimdor, Jaina found that there were orcs there. Believing the Horde to having followed them from Lordaeron, Jaina clashed with the troops of Grom Hellscream. Afterwards, Jaina set out to find the Prophet.
Not only was Stonetalon Peak a good defense, but also, she sensed a great power within. Jaina led a small expedition into the mountain, with the hopes of finding some power that could help her defeat the orcs. But she sensed that they were being followed. Upon breaching the core of the mountain, Jaina stumbled upon Thrall and Cairne Bloodhoof.
They were about to battle when they were all suddenly confronted by the Oracle, who was actually the Prophet Medivh they had met in Lordaeron. The Prophet Medivh implored them all to ally with each other, saying that they would not survive alone against the might of the Burning Legion. Reluctantly, Jaina agreed to ally her forces with Thrall's against Hellscream and an army of chaos orcs and demons.
Jaina gave him a soul gem , which he used to capture Grom's essence as the invasion of Kalimdor began. Then, she helped him purge Grom of the demonic curse that had gripped him. Jaina and Thrall continued as allies, although their forces were not very eager about it, even after Hellscream's death. They were terrorized by the undead , but also by the night elves' deadly hit-and-run attacks.
Though their alliance with one another kept them alive, they were only holding on by a thread. Finally, Thrall received a vision.
Jaina followed him to where he was instructed to go, where they found the leaders of the night elves, Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind. The Prophet appeared, and revealed himself to be none other than Medivh , returned to correct his mistakes of old. He implored the humans, orcs, and night elves to all join forces against the Legion, or they would all fall alone. They all agreed to defend Mount Hyjal together. Jaina used her teleportation spells to scout out the surrounding area and found that Archimonde and his doom guard were quickly making their way up the mountain.
The defenders instituted three bases going up the mountain in an effort to halt his ascent. Jaina's base was the first in Archimonde's path, and so it was the first to go, but before he could kill her, Jaina spirited herself out of Archimonde's clutches. The next base to go was Thrall's, and Jaina used her remaining energy to teleport Thrall from his base before Archimonde destroyed him, so that they could live to fight another day.
Following the Legion's defeat on Mount Hyjal, Jaina took her refugees to an island outpost off the eastern coast of Kalimdor, newly named Theramore in Dustwallow Marsh. When Rexxar demanded an explanation of the humans encroaching on Durotar and the assassination attempt, Jaina stated she had no such knowledge. When Jaina agreed to help the Mok'Nathal investigate, they discovered the accusatory outpost was under attack from naga.
After an encounter with a dying marine , Jaina realized with horror that her father had decided to pay her a visit. Jaina pleaded with the Admiral to spare Rexxar, but Daelin would have none of it. Rexxar and his companions escaped, and Thrall rallied an army to push back Proudmoore's assault. Jaina was in despair. While she felt loyalty to her father and her nation, her experience with the Scourge and the Legion convinced her that vendettas such as her father's were immaterial in the grand scheme.
Jaina helped the Horde gain ships from the goblins and ordered her own troops to stand down when they assaulted Theramore. Jaina's last words to her father were to ask why he didn't listen. When the people of Kul Tiras learned of their Lord Admiral's death, they cried out for vengeance, but the other nations of the Alliance were not interested.
Ordeals caused by the plague in Lordaeron were more immediate concerns, and the other allied leaders also had little pity for Daelin's own aggressive actions. The people of Kul Tiras furiously isolated themselves from the rest of the Alliance but were not angry with all of the Alliance leaders.
They instead nursed a bitter hatred only towards Jaina for betraying her family. Jaina continued to rule over the tattered remnants of the Alliance and hoped to reunite the distant human kingdoms once more. Theramore and Durotar remained at relative peace for three years, though the two former archenemies were still wary of each other.
Eventually, a series of minor shipping incidents led to extreme tension between the two powers, enough so that the goblins , who controlled the region's only neutral port, complained. Despite the tension, Thrall requested Jaina's aid in relocating a herd of thunder lizards displaced by a mysterious logging operation at Thunder Ridge.
Jaina intended to relocate the lizards to a largely unpopulated region on the far side of Mulgore but was astonished to discover that the area was magically warded to protect its single inhabitant: Aegwynn. The former Guardian brushed off Jaina's admiration, but filled in the gaps of what had been happening amidst the tensions between Theramore and Durotar: a minor demon, Zmodlor had revived the Burning Blade clan and was playing the two powers against each other.
Jaina and Aegwynn hastily returned to Theramore, where they discovered that Jaina's own chamberlain had been corrupted by the Burning Blade. After dealing with the turncoat, they took on Zmodlor himself.
Unfortunately, the demon was backed by a small cabal of warlocks. Jaina was nearly slain by the added strain, but Aegwynn was able to use her own life-force to support her, and Jaina was able to defeat the warlocks and banish Zmodlor back to the Twisting Nether. After the crisis had passed, Jaina and Thrall set about writing a permanent non-aggression pact to ensure that the mutual distrust of their peoples' never escalated into war again.
As the Ruler of Theramore, Jaina led the town and was found in her tower. Having partnered with the Stormwind kingdom , she insisted on making a summit between Thrall and King Varian Wrynn. Varian was convinced by his son Anduin but during a journey by the sea, Varian mysteriously vanished. When an investigation about the missing King Wrynn and the Defias Brotherhood was going on, she and Tervosh helped to capture Hendel who was allied with the Defias Brotherhood.
Tyrande Whisperwind told Jaina that two gladiators will be arriving soon in Theramore. Jaina was happy to see Broll much calmer now and immediately sensed a dark magic around Lo'Gosh.
Jaina assisted the amnesic gladiator in remembering his true identity with the help of her chamberlain, Aegwynn. It was revealed that the gladiator is long-lost Varian Wrynn. She then informed King Magni about Lo'Gosh.
Before leaving, Jaina casted a magical ritual in which Lo'Gosh and Varian remembered what truly happened when Onyxia abducted Varian on his way to a meeting with Thrall. Under the guise of Katrana Prestor , Onyxia botched a spell that divided Varian into two different Varians when her ritual was interrupted by naga led by Morgala Darksquall , who attacked her. Moments later, the naga kidnapped both Varians, though the one that would be later known as Lo'Gosh jumped into the sea and escaped, the second being ransomed.
After this revelation, Jaina gave them the blades Shalla'tor and Ellemayne. After Onyxia was killed, Jaina was also the primary instigator in proposing an alliance between the humans of Stormwind and the orcs of Orgrimmar on the way back to Theramore. Varian was convinced and she traveled to Razor Hill where she met with Thrall and told him the story of Varian.
The orc leader also agreed to the meeting, despite having reservations since Orgrimmar sentiment was becoming increasingly restless with the arrival of Garrosh Hellscream. Although the conference had a promising start, [40] it was ambushed by Twilight Hammer cultists comprising of races from both the Alliance and the Horde. The attack sowed distrust between the human and orc delegates who had suspicions that the opposite faction may have lured them into a trap. Ultimately, the attempted assassinations on the human and orc leaders effectively ruined any chance of a human-orc alliance.
One of the Twilight Hammer assassins was Garona Halforcen , who was left for dead or to be captured by her fellow assassins. King Varian allowed it, so long as she shared the information with his adviser, Valeera Sanguinar , who will be conducting the investigation on identifying the perpetrators. However, King Varian also claimed he will return to claim Garona for execution. Jaina and Aegwynn discovered that there was a spell placed on Garona's mind but could not remove it without causing her great pain and possible death.
In a deal Garona made with Valeera Sanguinar, Garona agreed she would endure the pain and give them some of the information they required if Valeera used the information to go save her son Med'an from the Twilight Hammer cult.
When Arthas killed the dream form of Ner'zhul and woke from his six-year slumber as the new Lich King, Jaina sensed that something terrible was happening. After defending Theramore from a Scourge attack sent by the Lich King, she would later become a founding member of the New Council of Tirisfal. The previously defunct organization was re-established in order to aid Med'an in combating Cho'gall and the Twilight's Hammer.
After a series of attacks in Theramore, which were successfully repelled, Jaina alongside the other members empowered Med'an who faced off the ogre-mage. She was saddened by the death of Aegwynn and was last seen during the funeral in Deadwind Pass.
This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade. When the draenei crash-landed on Azeroth , Jaina was one of the first to aid them. Afterward, she teleports away until Thrall has been assisted. Desperate to avoid a fourth war, Jaina teleported to Orgrimmar to uncover the truth of the recent events in Northrend. There she learned from Sylvanas Windrunner that an uprising broke out and that Varimathras had taken control of the Undercity.
Thrall assured Jaina that the Horde had no official interest in a war against the Alliance unless provoked and that he would take care of the traitor. Jaina told them that she shall deliver their explanation to Varian, but warned them that he may still pursue war as the late Highlord was like a brother to the king. Jaina's assessment proved correct as the forces of Thrall attempting to regain control of Undercity and King Wrynn hoping to reclaim it as Lordaeron for the Alliance and bring Putress to justice clashed at Undercity.
Refusing to allow the Horde and the Alliance to descend into open war, Jaina stopped the Alliance army cold literally and teleported them back to Stormwind. As Rhonin debriefed Varian Wrynn on the situation, Jaina noticed that Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream had arrived early, and attempted to halt them before another confrontation was started. She was unable to stop Varian and Garrosh from coming to blows and King Wrynn left, refusing to work with the Horde at all after the events at the Wrathgate.
Jaina wondered aloud who was left to challenge Yogg-Saron. Lady Jaina Proudmoore, accompanied by King Varian, attended the tournaments at the Crusaders' Coliseum in Icecrown , surrounded by various champions and representatives of the Alliance. After uncovering a hole in the defenses of Icecrown Citadel through the Forge of Souls and the Pit of Saron , Jaina personally leads a team of Alliance champions to the Halls of Reflection in an effort to find the Lich King's weakness and possible redemption.
After Jaina and her allies manage to free some of the Lich King's prisoners and kill Scourgelord Tyrannus , the frost wyrm Sindragosa attacks, nearly killing the entire party. Within the private chambers of the Lich King, Jaina and her troupe discovered an unguarded Frostmourne , the blade that stole Arthas' soul and led to the fall of Lordaeron.
Jaina communed with the souls stolen from Frostmourne and much to her surprise, Uther the Lightbringer appeared and told her a terrible truth. Not only did he inform her that Arthas was nothing but a small glimmer of light that stayed the Lich King's wrath, but in order to protect Azeroth , the Lich King would have to be killed and a replacement would have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Suddenly, the Lich King entered the chambers and Uther was sucked back into Frostmourne. The Lich King coldly acknowledged Jaina while removing Frostmourne from its pedestal. As The Lich King retreated to his private chambers and sicked the captains on her allies, Jaina remained determined to save Arthas and pursued him as the doors behind her closed.
Following the defeat of the two captains, Jaina's allies rushed to her aid only to find her on the verge of defeat, with her former love viciously attacking her. Heartbroken and realizing that there was truly nothing left of Arthas, Jaina and her allies fled down the Hidden Passage with the Lich King in steady pursuit. As they came to a cliff, the Skybreaker flew in and rescued them at the last moment. After the Deathbringer was slain by a team of Alliance adventurers, Muradin Bronzebeard , fresh from the Gunship Battle , was unwilling to allow Varok Saurfang to retrieve his son's corpse.
But when King Varian and Lady Jaina teleported to the scene, Varian ordered Muradin to step aside and let a grieving father pass, to which Jaina burst into tears out of respect for her King. Having apparently returned to Light's Hammer afterward, she somehow was able to tell that Arthas had died. Should an adventurer bring [ Jaina's Locket ] to her following the Lich King's defeat, she weeps, stating that she knew there was still some part of Arthas trapped within the Lich King.
When the Emerald Nightmare invaded the mortal realm in the form of a magical mist and trapped Azeroth's sleeping denizens in their nightmares, Jaina became one of its victims. They attacked the dreadlord and his undead army but during the battle, Muradin slipped and fell into a pit.
Jaina chose to help Arthas attack the undead, while Muradin fell to his presumed death. When they defeated Mal'Ganis, they found a cave containing Frostmourne. Jaina read the warning about the blade's curse. When Arthas was about to touch the blade, Mal'Ganis attacked him. Jaina had no other option but to pick up the blade and kill the dreadlord. She saved Arthas but also became the Lich Queen. She was present at the Elemental Unrest meeting. Jaina attended a memorial ceremony in Stormwind that honored those that died in the War against the Lich King.
During which a report arrived of a brutal attack on a night elf caravan by supposed Horde members. King Varian Wrynn was considering violent action in response to the mounting tensions between the Alliance and the Horde. Jaina was able to persuade Varian to stay his hand and pursue diplomatic measures first by reminding him that even he could not control his own people as evidenced by the Defias ; though Varian subsequently reminded her that she has a penchant of putting her trust in the wrong people as evidenced by Arthas.
It seems that Jaina knows, or at least heard some rumors, about the fate of Bolvar Fordragon atop the Icecrown. After this, Jaina went to Anduin , whom Varian gave her permission to look after in his absence, and gave him a hearthstone which was connected to Theramore.
After this, Jaina secretly met with Warchief Thrall to garner an explanation for this blatant violation of their peace treaty agreement. Thrall explained that he did not authorize this attack and he has been given demands by King Varian to condemn the attack publicly, turn in all violators over to the Alliance for justice, and to show good faith that the Horde was willing to continue peaceful relations with the Alliance.
Thrall was only willing to declare his intention to continue honoring the peace treaty but refused to publicly condemn the attack as rebuking the pragmatism of staying alive, even with violent measures which he disliked, when the Alliance purposely cut off all trade with them and are causing them much suffering would be too cruel an attack on his people's identity.
Nor was he willing to send violators over to the Alliance for judgment. Though Jaina understood the position Thrall was in, she none the less urged Thrall to find a way to meet the Alliance's demands as his noncooperation was only pushing the Alliance and Horde to all-out war. Anduin indeed used the hearthstone when he wanted to visit his "auntie" Jaina in time when she got back from meeting Thrall and later when Moira Thaurissan took over Ironforge.
Later on, she provided sanctuary to the exiled Baine Bloodhoof , who was seeking aid against the Grimtotem tribe. Magatha Grimtotem orchestrated the death of his father, Cairne Bloodhoof , and has seized control of Thunder Bluff. Sympathizing with Baine and impressed by his budding friendship with her ward, Prince Anduin Wrynn , Jaina agreed to fund Baine's rebellion with untraceable Theramore gold.
After a long conversation, Anduin convinced her to create a portal to Ironforge so that he could dissuade Varian from that course of action. Since Warchief Garrosh wants to defeat the night elves and conquer the whole of Kalimdor under the banner of the Horde , offensives into the Southern Barrens have been sent in response and secured territory once belonging to the Horde for Varian and his allies. The humans of Theramore have sent their army and tried to establish a military line between night elf territory and Theramore.
After the Horde's surprise invasion of Ashenvale , Alliance forces streamed out of Theramore to attack the Barrens.
At an unknown but relative small amount of time after Deathwing's reemergence into Azeroth Jaina was requested to come to Dalaran by Rhonin and at his request took Kinndy Sparkshine as an apprentice. Though Jaina would rather come to Darnassus ' meeting, she chose to stay in Theramore in order to continue organizing Alliance forces. In her stead came Archmage Tervosh. She greeted Baron Lescovar who was drunk and called her an orc lover. Jaina continues trying to dissuade King Varian Wrynn from his unbending stance against the Horde.
Despite differences in opinions, Jaina had always been King Wrynn's ally, if not his staunchest supporter. She continues to counsel the king on not only matters of state but also matters of the heart; most notably his turbulent relationship with his son, Anduin.
When Varian was about to give a speech at the Remembrance Ceremony, he was missing and Jaina with Mathias Shaw and Marcus Jonathan went to look for him. She found him dying at Stormwind cemetery but Anduin healed him. Jaina then accompanied Anduin and all the guests to hear Varian's speech. After the red comes the silver, She who was golden and bright; The Proud Lady humbled and bitter, Shall now turn her thoughts to the fight.
Saphire to diamond she gleams now, The Kirin Tor leader who comes, "Queen" of a kingdom now fallen, Marching to war's martial drums.
Be ye warned - the tides of war At last shall break upon the shore. Following Deathwing's demise, Jaina became increasingly concerned with rising tensions between the Horde and the Alliance. Jaina later went to Tidefury Cove where she met with Thrall in secret, where she tried to convince him to do something about Garrosh, whose warmongering was pushing the Alliance and Horde to all-out war.
Thrall, now going by the name Go'el, was set on his new path and could not abandon the work he and the Earthen Ring were doing to heal the damage the Cataclysm had wrought unto Azeroth. Even so, Jaina was convinced that if they hesitated any longer, war would ensue and many innocents would suffer the price.
Disheartened by Thrall's decision Jaina later returned to Theramore, but some time afterwards would be visited by the former aspect of magic Kalecgos who would request Jaina's aid in looking for the missing Focusing Iris ; to which Jaina agreed to help him with this important endeavor. Jaina's advisers: Archmage Tervosh , night elf bodyguard Pained and Kinndy , were all tasked to gain any information about the artifact.
As the days passed, Jaina and Kalec grew closer as they began talking about their past, loves, and hurts. In time, Pained learned that the Horde is regrouping near Northwatch and sent a word to Jaina.
Now, Jaina had two problems: the search for the Focusing Iris and the Horde's bid for expansionism. Though she feared that Northwatch would fall to the Horde's expansionism, she believed that finding the Focusing Iris took precedence.
Eventually, she and Kalec were successful in understanding why Kalec could not sense the Iris: the perpetrators were using transformation spells to masquerade it and hide its presence from Kalec's senses. Sometime after Baine sent Perith Stormhoof , one of his Longwalkers to deliver the news of Northwatch Hold 's fall, Garrosh's desire to conquer all of Kalimdor , and that the Horde was intent on marching upon Theramore.
After handing over Fearbreaker given to Perith to substantiate the claims of his warnings , Jaina promised it would be returned to Anduin and gave him a note to ensure he could leave Alliance territory unharmed for his. As departed from the city, Jaina and her advisers started preparing for war.
During this time Kalecgos returned to Theramore and decided to stay and help Jaina defend her city. Jaina began contacting all the allies she can to help defend Theramore, including King Varian Wrynn and other leaders of the Alliance. After witnessing Horde warships near the borders of Alliance waters, Jaina was convinced to ask help from Rhonin and the Kirin Tor.
After being informed that Rhonin alone could not make such a decision, Jaina was left with the task of convincing the Council of Six to help her. After much discussion, the Council of Six agreed to lend the Kirin Tor's aid to Theramore in the hopes that their presence will act as a deterrent; reasoning that doing nothing would be tacit support of Garrosh's war.
Khadgar , one of the members of the Six, also sent word to A'dal who sent a contingent of Sha'tari forces. The defense of Theramore is ill-fated: though the Horde's initial attack on Theramore was repelled, it was revealed that the entire ordeal had been a feint attack, in order to gather the best and brightest of the Alliance in one place, and then annihilate them with a Focusing Iris-empowered mana bomb. The Alliance discover this too late, and the nation of Theramore was utterly obliterated.
Jaina and a few Alliance comrades barely survived, thanks to Rhonin who ordered them into a portal just before the mana bomb hit, sheltering them from the blast at the cost of his own life. Jaina on the cover of Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War. When Jaina awakens, she finds herself radiating with arcane energy and nearly all of her once fair hair turned to moonlight white. Despite Kalec pleading her to not go back right away, as he knew no one could have survived the blast, the shell shocked Jaina does so anyway.
Jaina is horrified by the loss of all she had worked for, and the deaths of her friends and people. She then came across the corpse of Kinndy; when she touched her shoulder to turn the body over, the young gnome's body, infused with arcane energy, crumbled into violet dust.
It was at this moment, losing someone so bright and full of promise, that made Jaina snap. Filled with cold fury and rage, Jaina exacted revenge on the Horde that stayed behind to loot the ruins and dared to attack her. Not caring to think about the moral consequences, she climbed down into the crater where the Focusing Iris lay and hid it so that she could use it against the Horde. She later travels to Stormwind to gain their support for an immediate and brutal counterattack.
King Varian is wary of simply attacking Orgrimmar head on with their recent losses, and instead advises caution. King Varian and Prince Anduin are also against using dishonorable tactics to fight the war and reveal that the Horde in the aftermath of Theramore's fall, has set up an effective naval blockade of Kalimdor. Not to be detoured from her vengeance Jaina leaves Stormwind and travels to Dalaran and demands that the Kirin Tor strike against the Horde, even going as far as recommending that Dalaran be transported above Orgrimmar and rain destruction down on the city.
Though committed to making sure Garrosh Hellscream will answer for Rhonin's death, the Kirin Tor are unwilling to give Jaina their support to destroy Orgrimmar: having just lost their leader as a result of getting involved in the war and their belief that Jaina's plans could lead to the deaths of many innocents who had nothing to do with the bombing of Theramore.
Seeking vengeance and unaware that the Alliance was rebuilding their fleet to counterattack the Horde, Jaina traveled to the Dalaran library and located The Sixth Element: Additional Methods of Arcane Augmentation and Manipulation , which she realizes had been found and warded shut by her mentor Antonidas. Seeing it as a sign of that her Antonidas would agree with her plans Jaina carefully broke the seal so that it would not set off the magical security alarms and discovered that the author theorized that the arcane was like an element and that the Focusing Iris had been used once to enslave and control elementals.
Using this knowledge Jaina would head towards Ratchet and then secure Fray Island and began her plan to destroy Orgrimmar by using the Focusing Iris to summon a massive tidal wave's worth of water elementals to drown the whole city. Having been begged for help by the elements beforehand, Thrall barely arrived in time and tried to dissuade her from committing the horrific act, but Jaina ignored his pleas. She sent the elemental wave on its way and it is all he can do just to stalemate her water with the help of the wind; he quickly realizes that it is a wonder that he is able to keep the water back at all.
Enraged, Jaina attempts to kill Thrall with an arcane blast; he manages to deflect a fireball and cleverly uses the wave itself to duck under a pillar of fire, but doing all this, while holding back the wave and trying to talk Jaina down takes its toll. Thrall is forced to pour all of himself into the wind, with nothing left to protect himself with when Kalecgos arrived, preventing Jaina from killing Thrall. Kalecgos in reasoning with Jaina told her that he knew what loss felt like due to losing Anveena Teague , but that revenge will not bring them back, and one can heal as long as they don't do something so horrible that they can't take back.
Thrall adds that using the Iris in a way that Garrosh, a thief, coward and butcher also had would cast her in the same light as well, and if she wanted that. Table of Contents Quick Facts.

King Varian Wrynn says: Jaina! What's happening in Dalaran? Has there been an attack? I've handled the situation. King Varian Wrynn says: How? My trust was misplaced. I make no guarantees about those who chose to fight. 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. Note: As the Legendary Ring questline has been removed from the game, you can no longer start this quest.
This is only mentioned here for historical purposes. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Have you forgotten the Horde's treachery? It's time to bring them to heel like the dogs they are!
Prophet Velen says: To fight two wars at once would be folly. For all our sakes, we need the Horde's strength added to our own.
Anduin Wrynn says: Velen is right. We must stand beside the demon hunters and focus on the Legion. Now is not the time to-- Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: The Horde betrayed your father and left us to die!
To fight alongside those cowards would dishonor everything he stood for. Prophet Velen says: My people know the price of facing demons as a world divided. It is time to unite our forces and defend our lands. Anduin Wrynn says: Agreed. I'm sorry, Jaina, but vengeance must wait.
I trust you're mobilizing the Kirin Tor as we discussed? Anduin Wrynn says: We must not splinter like this Please, Jaina!
But sooner or later, you will see the truth. You all will! Anduin Wrynn says: My father dead Jaina fixed on revenge Everything is falling apart.
Archmage Khadgar says: Thank you all for gathering on such short notice. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Khadgar, we don't have time to waste in meetings. The Legion is advancing and the Horde arms for battle. Archmage Khadgar says: Then I'll get right to the point. For the Kirin Tor to fight at full strength, we need the mages of the Horde to join our ranks. Do you hear me, Khadgar? Archmage Khadgar says: Jaina, we know the pain you've endured.
They left us to die on the Broken Shore. Again and again they've proven to be monsters Archmage Khadgar says: I've made my case. With respect, I move for a vote. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Very well. But consider your choice carefully. If you let those vermin back into this city, I will not be counted among your ranks when you welcome them. Archmage Karlain says: Aye. Archmage Vargoth says: Aye. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Nay. Archmage Ansirem Runeweaver says: Nay.
Archmage Modera says: Aye. Archmage Khadgar says: The vote carries. I'm sorry, Jaina, but the stakes are higher than they've ever been. Archmage Modera says: Jaina, please Stand with us! But are you sure you weren't hoping for the job? Tandred Proudmoore says: Oh, I'd have done my duty if asked, but my calling is the sea. Speaking of which, considering all that's happened, a nice long sail would do mother a world of good. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Now that's the brother I remember!
Barely back on land for five minutes and already plotting your next excursion. Tandred Proudmoore says: Five minutes? How frightfully unfair, big sister. It's been at least ten! Tandred Proudmoore says: I missed you, Jaina. Kul Tiras suffered in your absence. When father died, no one wanted to understand why it happened. They were just angry it did.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I feared our people would never accept me back. That there was nothing I could do to prove myself to them. To mother. To you.
