Did you know...?

Jani, the Loa of Scavengers

In the shadows of Zandalar’s golden cities and ancient temples, one loa watches over the forgotten: Jani, the Loa of Scavengers. Small in stature but mighty in mischief, Jani is a saurid spirit who rules over the discarded, the unwanted, and the overlooked.

The second part of the Worldsoul Saga will take place in Quel'thalas.

Knowing what we know about the nature of the Sunwell and how it can be twisted into a void portal under the right circumstances, thats likely Xal'atath's target.

Blizzard has the opportunity to really fuck with some heads in this expansion and bring back a character who is cannonically part of WoW thanks to the way that Burning Crusade ended. Namely, Aveena, the Avatar of the Sunwell.

For all those people who whine about how WoW lore is today... when the Sunwell got shut down by Kael'thas after Kel'thuzad blighted it, it was literally reborn into a mortal avatar known as Aveena who, and this is 100% cannonical, WAS KALECGOS' LOVE INTEREST.

I'm not kidding, it was a thing. This was during the early 2000s anime boom when every western company wanted to capitalize on the popularity of Japanese cartoons and comics, and Blizzard signed up with Tokyopop to make this:

*Jaina, out of nowhere, committed genocide against the sunreavers*

There was no any genocide and it didn't happen out of nowhere. First, Jaina gave the horde elves a chance, even though some of them helped tsteal the focusing iris and one ( Thalen) created a mana bomb:

The soft purple glow heralded the blanket of arcane energy that enveloped Theramore. The mana bomb, so thoughtfully provided by the blood elves—who stood cheering with other Horde members who somehow felt that what Garrosh had wrought was a good thing—had exploded over an entire city and had not just harmed its citizens and buildings but crushed them utterly.

She, despite her anger and struggles, decided to give them a chance because she still hoped for peace in the end. Secondly, when she discovered that the divine bell was stolen from Darnassus, her first thought was that the bell had been stolen by someone who lives in Darnassus/alliance visitor.

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I had Darnassus LOCKED DOWN! Every fumbling rogue that tried to sneak into the city, I CAUGHT them! I snatched every two-bit charlatan that attempted to teleport through my traps!

When Jaina finds the portal to Dalaran, she realizes what happened: the horde thieved the bell and the Sunreavers were involved. "Enough is enough". She invites Aethas to solve the matter without bloodshed; it's not clear what exactly she wanted, to arrest and interrogate them or simply drive them out of the city, but the fact remains that Aethas refused:

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: You've betrayed the Kirin Tor, Sunreaver. You've allowed Garrosh to move his forces through MY city. Archmage Aethas Sunreaver says: You have it all wrong, Jaina. I did nothing. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: You looked the other way. You and your insubordinate kind are no longer welcome here. Archmage Aethas Sunreaver says: This is OUR city too, Proudmoore. Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Hah! I see. I will remove the Sunreavers by force, then.

What Aethas could do? He could: 1) Tell everything to Jaina or other members of the council so that the whole organization does not suffer due to the actions of some of the rebels. 2) Deal with what is happening inside the sunreavers on your own, forcing Garrosh’s supporters to leave the city, so as not to put everyone at risk. 3) Evacuate from Dalaran all those not involved in the conspiracy. 4) Finally, after the arrest of the sunreavers, he could exchange himself and the information known to him for the release of all the innocent people who were in prison due to his incompetence as a leader.

But what did Aethas do? He ran cowardly, and then poured into the ears of the ruling lord that he was completely unaware of what was happening. By the way, Lor'themar unlike Aethas, behaved like a very smart elf and a competent leader.

Evidence that the blood elves were involved in the theft of the bell:

2. Jaina merely teleports sunreavers away when she finds them. She asks Vereesa for help.

The Silver Covenant comes to the call of Jaina and… the elves who surrender were arrested, others were killed. In this way, they not only showed their loyalty to Kirit-Tor, but also took revenge for what the blood elves did to them in Silvermoon.

Genocide is the intentional destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part. This is not genocide, These people were given a choice: jail or death. Those not involved chose jail, those involved and those sympathizing with them chose to attack Jaina, for which they received what they deserved. This is punishment for yet another betrayal. Genocide is what the horde did to the draenei, or what Sylvanas did to the night elves.

This selective blindness infuriates me. Oh, why is it so cruel to the poor sunreavers? Two bodyguards were killed! The Sunreavers provided the aggressor with weapons of mass destruction that destroyed an entire city. Oh, don’t you feel sorry for all those residents of Theramore, just the poor elves? But they did not stop there, and stole another dangerous weapon for the aggressor, which threatened to result in no less casualties. The prince himself almost died correcting their actions.

But no, you only feel sorry for the elves who, by the way, did nothing except be guilty of the death of thousands of people.

Aethas was a member of the council. He betrayed Dalaran by the fact that, knowing about the crimes committed by his subordinates, he hid it and did nothing at all. Aethas fled, abandoned his elves, although he could have done at least something for the sake of those who innocently suffered for his mistakes. But Aethas only escaped and lied to his own lord about how he knew nothing about the sunreavers' crimes.

Oh, yes, Jaina sent all the elves imprisoned to go home long ago. But no one will return the killed Theramorians.
