Bad. Awful. Terrible. Why can’t Azeroth catch a break for two seconds and why does it have to be the Scourge again?! Thanks a-fucking-lot, Sylvanas.
The only positive is that the Alliance and the Horde are not currently distracted by war with each other, so they might actually be able to work together for once to stop the Scourge before it gets worse. Right…?
More seriously, if the game was doing Valeera justice at the moment, she would be less concerned with the Scourge than she is with Anduin’s having been taken by Sylvanas. She would be doing everything in her power and no matter the cost to find her way into the Shadowlands to rescue him, by trying to track the Val'kyr that took him and the others physically, but also through whatever magical residue they left behind. She’s likely pissed at Tyrande for killing Nathanos when he could have been tortured (however unsuccessfully) for information as to Sylvanas’ whereabouts and how to get to her, and would not be just hanging out in Orgrimmar talking about her identity with Calia.
But that isn’t to say she isn’t concerned about the Scourge at all. Both the Alliance and Horde armies and resources have been dangerous depleted by their recent conflicts with one another, the Burning Legion, Azshara, and N’Zoth. If the Scourge threat gets out of hand, and it may with so few able people left to defend Azeroth, everyone is going to be in serious trouble. She’s also apprehensive about Quel’Thalas being overwhelmed a second time. They still haven’t finished rebuilding, their population is still critically low and getting lower rather than higher, and the Forsaken that used to be in the Undercity are no longer nearby to lend aid. Valeera cannot bear to see her homeland destroyed a second time or for any more of her people to be lost the Scourge. If Anduin was safe, she would be in Quel’Thalas defending the sin’dorei from the undead there, like she was much too defenseless to do when they first invaded during her childhood.
