Death of Rastakhan and loss of MekkatorqueMy King, I would like to report on our success in Zuldazar.
A victory, but at what cost to the Alliance? High Tinker Mekkatorque and so many other lives have been lost.
King Rastakan died in the fighting. It was not our intent, but it happened. Now we must deal with the repercussions.
<Dori'thur looks at you expectantly.>
Anduin reflects on the Zandalari's allegiances after the siegeHe was a casualty of war, Anduin. It was always a possibility. A good king stands with his people even if he may lose.
We had hoped to drive a wedge between the Horde and the Zandalari. This may have driven them into joining. If they did not hate us before, they will now.
More than half of the Zandalari fleet was destroyed in the initial strike. The remaining ships cannot hope to stand against the Kul Tiran fleet. The Horde fleet is not on much better footing.
We should strike hard while they are weakest, before there is time for them to recover, when their hope is failing.
Negotiations after the SiegePerhaps we can open negotiations--
The Alliance slays the leader of the Zandalari, and you speak of negotiations?
No. This war will not end until we stand victorious. Until the Little Lion kneels before my throne.
Come to the Banshee's Wail. I have a plan to ensure the Proudmoore family pays dearly for Rastakhan's death.
This likely explains why
Sylvanas raises Derek Proudmoore.
Genn reflects on SylvanasAre we any better than the Horde, then? Is that the cost of our victory?
Show me.
... Their queen would do it.
I have no wish to be like Sylvanas Windrunner. Do you Genn?
*angry growling* No.
We should continue as we have. If victory is as assured as you say, then we will achieve it. But we need to be wary of retaliation.
Jaina and Anduin's attempts to unfreeze MekkatorqueJaina... was there nothing you could do for the High Tinker?
No, I'm sorry. The mechanism used to freeze his body is unlike any of the magic I know.
Anduin, is there nothing the Light can do?
No. We tried. *sigh* We did have a victory despite the costs. I should celebrate with the others and yet...
I think I understand.
But what about you? How are you fairing? You held off some of their best warriors while the fleet retreated.
Better. My healing is ongoing. Don't worry about me, Anduin. I'll be okay.
Calia namedroppedIt is good to have you back with us, Auntie.
Thank you. Anduin... I have heard rumors. About an old friend of mine. Calia.
That... I'm not certain I can explain it, but I'll tell you what I know.
Let's go inside and you can tell me.
