Story

Tides of Vengeance

This section contains information that needs to be cleaned up. Reason: Grammar.

Preparation

Before executing their grand plan, the Alliance had been busy preparing for it. They littered the Zandalari Fleet with explosives at the ships' keel and recovered the  [Abyssal Scepter] which had previously been stolen by the Horde. However, even with all the advantages on their side, Halford made it clear that a frontal assault would see result in a loss. With the help of Mathias Shaw, he set up a meeting with other Alliance commanders to discuss luring the enemy out of their capital.

Inside the maze at Proudmoore Keep, Genn, Mathias, Jaina, Halford, Telaamon, and the adventurer discussed how the plan was to be handled. With the hopes of destabilizing the relationship between the Zandalari and the Horde, Mathias explained that a distraction at Nazmir would be needed. Using the Abyssal Scepter, the Alliance would create a fog to keep them distracted for as long as possible, while the Alliance fleet would charge from the south. He explained that some would not return alive, something that Telaamon knew and had long accepted while talking to Halford.

The invasion

The Alliance decoy force landed on the Far Reach. With an army of humans, night elves, worgen, dwarves, and void elves, they assembled into three groups.

Firstly, Jaina, Shaw, and the adventurer supported the army by taking Zalamar from the blood trolls. They killed them all and planted several Dark Iron mole machines for them to spawn.

With the village in their control, Brother Pike, who came with the expedition, set up Abyssal Scepter and created a fog. With this, they moved on to the next part of their plan, to take as much land as possible to make their enemies believe the fleet has landed in Nazmir. Their next target was Zul'jan Ruins, a Horde outpost.

Arriving at Zul'jan Ruins, Jaina gave the adventurer a water elemental to join the main force to successfully take ruins. With all their might, Zul'jan Ruins fell to the Alliance.

The following target was the Fallen Outpost. From the place, they slaughtered the Zandalari, stole their direhorns to assault the Blood Gate, while also taking out the Gob Squad's machine, the A.M.O.D, forcing the Gob Squad to run away. Thanks to these valiant efforts, Fallen Outpost fell too.

Finally, the final phase to convince the Horde of the attack, taking the Blood Gate. Using their captured direhorns, they assaulted the Blood Gate, leaving a trail of dead trolls behind.

With everything in place and the Zandalar falling for the trap, Telaamon marched to his end with pride, with him and Jaina giving a final goodbye.

The bait

On The Banshee's Wail, Nathanos received word that the Alliance was attacking Nazmir. He sent a Horde adventurer to discuss an attack with Princess Talanji and King Rastakhan.

At the great seal, Rastakhan agreed to a counter attack alongside the Horde. Talanji mobilized the fleet. She sent the adventurer to Captain Rez'okun with orders to mobilize the Zandalari Fleet, to General Rakera with orders to send her troops to Nazmir, and to Hexlord Raal to send his riders to Nazmir.

Retaking Nazmir

Under the leadership of Princess Talanji, the Alliance at the Blood Gate had been taken out and Rokhan was rescued from Blademaster Telaamon, the leader of the Alliance. Telaamon managed to escape in time, leading the Horde inland into Nazmir.

With the Blood Gate cleared, General Rakera sent the adventurer to the Fallen Outpost to aid Haxlord Raal. Arriving at the fallen outpost, they found Raal grounded, unable to fly due to the fog. To fix this, they came up with the idea of fixing the A.M.O.D and bring the Gob Squad back together. Patch, the only goblin still around sent the adventurer to find the members of the Gob Squad back together and bring back the A.M.O.D part which were stolen by the Alliance.

With the whole team recovered, Talanji calls on the Loa, Akunda, to jump start the A.M.O.D. Having done so, the princess allowed the adventurer to ride on A.M.O.D to lead the charge to retake Zul'jan Ruins.

With Zul'jan Ruins secured, Talanji marched onto Zalamar, with the idea to push them back to the coast. At Zalamar, the Zanalari kill engaged and killed the Alliance forces, destroyed their mole machines, and destroyed Telaamon's mirrors. While all of this was happening, Rokhan went in search of Telaamon.

Rokhan managed to find Telaamon at the Sanctum of Midnight. With Witch Doctor Kejabu, Jo'chunga, and the adventurer, Rokhan confronted Telaamon and brought him down.

Up on the surface, Talanji finds the source of the fog, the Abyssal Scepter. Along with the rest, she rides to its location and destroys it. To her utter shock, she does not find the Alliance fleet and realized that she had been tricked. With haste shed rushed back to the capital, but it was too late. The Battle of Dazar'alor had begun.
