Starcraft II: Flashpoint

<div>&#8220;Nothing is free, Go&#8217;el,&#8221; Jaina Proudmoore said. &#8220;Your knowledge and skills were bought at a cost. The . . . orc you left behind in your place had done much harm in your absence. If I have heard about what is going on in Orgrimmar and Ashenvale, surely you must have!&#8221; Go&#8217;el&#8217;s mien, which had been deeply peaceful, now looked troubled. &#8220;I have heard, of course.&#8221; &#8220;And . . . you do nothing?&#8221; &#8220;I have another path,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You have seen the results of that path. A threat that&#8212;&#8221; &#8220;Go&#8217;el, I hear this, but now that task is over. Garrosh is stirring up trouble between the Alliance and the Horde&#8212;trouble that didn&#8217;t exist until he started it. I can understand if you don&#8217;t wish to undermine him publicly, but&#8212;perhaps you and I can work together. Form a summit of sorts. Ask Baine to join us; I know he has no love for what Garrosh is striving for. I could speak with Varian. As of late, he seems to be more reachable. Everyone respects you, even in the Alliance, Go&#8217;el. You have earned that respect because of your actions. Garrosh has earned nothing but mistrust and hatred because of his.&#8221; She indicated her cloak, which had blown about with the wind he had sent to bear her to shore. &#8220;You can control the winds as a shaman. But the winds of war are blowing, and if we do not stop Garrosh now, many innocents will pay the price for our hesitation.&#8221; *** The ashes of the Cataclysm have settled across Azeroth&#8217;s disparate kingdoms. As the broken world recovers from the disaster, the renowned sorceress Lady Jaina Proudmoore continues her long struggle to mend relations between the Horde and the Alliance. Yet of late, escalating tensions have pushed the two factions closer to open war, threatening to destroy what little stability remains in the . . . Dark news arrives in Jaina&#8217;s beloved city, Theramore. One of the blue dragonflight&#8217;s most powerful artifacts&#8212;the Focusing Iris&#8212;has been stolen. To unravel the item&#8217;s mysterious whereabouts, Jaina works with the former blue Dragon Aspect Kalecgos. The two brilliant heroes forge an unlikely bond during their investigation, but another disastrous turn of events looms on the horizon. . . . Garrosh Hellscream is mustering the Horde&#8217;s armies for an all-out invasion of Theramore. Despite mounting dissent within his faction, the brazen warchief aims to usher in a new era of Horde domination. His thirst for conquest leads him to take brutal measures against anyone who dares question his leadership. Alliance forces converge on Theramore to repel the Horde onslaught, but the brave defenders are unprepared for the true scope of Garrosh&#8217;s cunning and deceptive strategy.

World of Warcraft: Jaina Proudmoore

<div>The Hour of Twilight. She&#8217;d spoken of it at the meeting, tried to warn the others of it, but the warning had gotten lost; a little bright fragment of . . . something . . . had been briskly swept away like a broken bit of pottery beneath an industrious broom. It was&#8212; She gnawed her lower lip, thinking. It was the greatest challenge the dragonflights would face, but she did not know against whom they would be fighting. It might come soon . . . or aeons from now. Could it have something to do with the return of Deathwing? Surely it had to . . . did it not? This breaking of the world was one of the worst things that had ever happened to Azeroth. How could she persuade others of the direness of the situation when she herself could not articulate it? She uttered a little noise of annoyance and frustration. One thing she knew for certain. There were many pieces missing from this puzzle, but there was one core piece that was necessary before any of the others could fall into place. It was a very strange piece, an unlikely one at best, and she was uncertain as to how he would fit in. She only knew that he had to. Ysera had seen him, floating in and out of her dreaming. She had thought she understood his role in things, but now, peculiar as it seemed, something&#8212;some inner certainty that even she did not fully understand&#8212;was leading her to think she had not seen the full breadth of his contribution to Azeroth. He was not a dragon. But he had the interests of the dragonflights in his heart&#8212;whether he knew it or not. He straddled worlds&#8212;but did not seek to rule or command or destroy them. He was unique. She tilted her head, let the wind play with her long green hair. Perhaps that was why he fit in. Even the Aspects were not singular beings, although each had unique abilities. Not one but five there had been at the beginning, when the titans had come and shared their power for the good of Azeroth. Four there were now, but there would soon be five again, when the blues determined how to choose the one who would lead them. But there was only one like this being. There was only one Thrall.</div>
