Loose EndsAshes to AshvaneCorrespondence ConundrumGetting a ClueReporting In!

Decoded letter:

Mister Francis,

As you no doubt have heard, I am no longer incarcerated in Tol Dagor. The circumstances were, shall we say, interesting.

Gather those who remain loyal and wait at the location we discussed before. I will return shortly, but first I have a meeting with an important patron.

We're not done yet.

- Lady Ashvane

<The letter is dated several weeks in the past>

After returning to Boralus:

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I knew Ashvane was treacherous, but siding with the Horde is a new low.
Master Mathias Shaw says: Ambition has a way of twisting... wait. We are not alone.
Master Mathias Shaw yells: Show yourself!
Valeera Sanguinar says: Hmm... Not bad, Shaw.
Master Mathias Shaw says: Everyone, stand down! Explain why you're here, Valeera. Now.
Valeera Sanguinar says: I have a message for the Lord Admiral.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Can we trust her?

8.1 Horde War CampaignDon't Shoot the Messenger

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Let's hear this message of yours.
Valeera Sanguinar says: Baine Bloodhoof seeks to right a wrong done to your family. He asks to meet with you in secret... off the coast of Theramore.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: After all that the Horde has done, you have the audacity to--
Valeera Sanguinar says: The Banshee Queen has eyes everywhere. Theramore is one of the few places she's not watching.
Master Mathias Shaw says: Lady Jaina, Valeera was one of King Varian's closest friends. If she says Baine seeks this meeting in defiance of Sylvanas, then I believe her.
Valeera Sanguinar says: You may not trust me, Lord Admiral, but King Anduin will vouch for both me and the chieftain.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I trusted Varian... as I trust Master Shaw. That will have to do. Tell Baine that I agree to this meeting... but I am not going alone.

My Brother's KeeperSylvanas knew about the plan and imprisons Baine

Derek Proudmoore says: Jaina... I can hardly believe it's you. When I set sail, you were a child. And now... Lord Admiral.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: So much has changed, Derek. I... There's something I must tell you--
Derek Proudmoore says: I know about father. The Horde spewed lies to poison me against you. But Baine explained the truth of what happened.
Derek Proudmoore says: You, mother and Tandred all endured so much. I'm pleased you have each other again, but... where does my path lead?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I don't know. But we will find the answer together.
Derek Proudmoore says: I can't come home... can I.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: No. Not yet. But I know others who have been through this. I believe they can help you.
Derek Proudmoore says: Will you come with me, Jaina? I... I don't know if I can do this alone.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Of course, Derek. No matter the storm, we will face it... as family.

MISTER FRANCIS,

AS YOU NO DOUBT HAVE HEARD, I AM NO LONGER INCARCERTAETED IN TOL DAGOR. THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE, SHALL WE SAY, INTERESTING.

GATHER THOSE WHO REMAIN LOYAL AND WAID AT THE LOCATION WE DISCUSSED BEFORE. I WILL RETURN SHORTLY, BUT FIRST I HAVE A MEETING WITH AN IMPORTANT PATRON.

WE'RE NOT DONE YET.

She knew Baine would free Derek and return him to Jaina. That's already been made clear. But I think her mind control / torture crap she was doing 100% was successful and he's going to kill Jaina. She dies = we riot.Comment by kaleestrazaI'm sorry but Jaina and Derek look hilarious next to each other. He's so tinyComment by NeryssaThat is some lazy encryption from Lady Ashvane.

- LADY ASHVANEComment by XaleaAre the Ashvane loyalists being rounded up so Sylvanas can turn them into Forsaken? Is that the bargain Ashvane made?

And yes, multiple lore errors.. from really recent lore.

Blaine being imprisoned just further shows how Sylvanas will later be deposed. I think at the last minute she will realize she was manipulated and sacrifice herself to save Azeroth from the old gods, thereby redeeming herself (but also gets rid of her).

Derek and Calia team up and we have new undead allied race for Alliance.
