Reports have indicated that the Horde is mobilizing an army towards Silithus. Given the potential that azerite has to change the face of war, it should come as no surprise that the Warchief would want to lay her claim to it. The only surprise is that it has begun so soon. The Horde and the Alliance have both suffered unimaginable losses in Argus. Speak with Mathias Shaw. I want you to oversee Stormwind's presence in Silithus.

The Horde! They diverted at the North fork of the Barrens! They have marched on Ashenvale! Most of Malfurion's troops have already set sailed for Silithus, but Darnassus has sent its city guards to help reinforce Astranaar. Their captain goes by the name of Delaryn Summermoon. Find her, <name>. Hold the city for as long as you can. King Anduin and I will send a fleet as soon as we can muster.

My sisters lie slain on the soft earth of Ashenvale. We are trained to expect losses in battle, but I have never seen something so horrific -- something so -- cowardly. The Horde have sunk to a new low in this war. We do not have time to grieve, but we are not savages as the horde have proven to be. Please, <name>, will you help me say a prayer to Elune so that we may honor the fallen? Their wisps deserve the light of her blessing.

This light of the wisps... it is all around us. Why does the forest awaken? I hear... something. That sound -- could it be our Shan'do? Quickly, <name>, Malfurion beckons!

The Warchief has come for us. I knew this day would come. Our forces have been gathered in Darnassus, though many of them have already set sail for Silithus. Meet with Shandris Feathermoon and alert her of the Warchief's presence. Elune be with you, <name>.

I’m having pre-pandaria events and Tides of war flahsbacks....

This is only Alliance side, so we can’t be sure... but it looks like there was no provocation, apparently we just accept Sylvana’s orders to mindlessly kill anyone that is in the way
