It just reaffirms that blizz is incapable of sticking a major crime on an alliance character. They get cold feet Every. Single. Time.
Horde does something? Blizz has no issue beating us over the head about it and how much the horde sucks for it

The Silver Covenant is an Alliance faction. They commited war crimes during the Purge of Dalaran. They killed innocents, destroyed families. There’s no mincing words the blame is loud and clear.
And Veresa paid for it with the death of her husband.

And were never punished for it. But we punished Sylvanas and Garrosh. They have a hypocritical way of treating what the sides do.

And were NEVER punished for it, nor is it ever bought up in game. It’s quite literally whitewashed as if it never took place.

This is bogus. This was not a direct punishment for what she did. This was karma hitting her in the face. She should be in the Maw with her sister. Nathanos was killed at the beginning of SL but we still sent Sylvie to the Maw.

Well, there’s now room for them to correct their past mistakes. Chronicle vol. 4 does a lot of that in regards to problematic past stories.
There is an opportunity for Veressa to be developed in future content. And maybe she will face the consequences of her actions.
Don’t shoot the messenger

How exactly is that ‘payment’ when it happened before the purge of Dalaran? Rhonin died when Theramore was destroyed. You know… the MoP prepatch event.
Usually the punishment happens after the crime, not before it.

I know, it’s not you I’m frustrated with really. It’s just the story. sigh

That was just my opinion that is not facts.
An opinion that doesn’t make sense no matter how hard you try and spin it.

Jaina not personally killing any sunreaver doesnt make her less responsible for sunreavers dying.
She didn’t try to stop the silver covenant from doing it either.
Such an interesting story momment, thats why is so divisive.

Since chronicles 4 covers mop to recent era, do we have anything on monks? At all?
I think everyone who’s a hordie at heart is frustrated with how the lore treats one faction compared to the other.
Doesn’t seem fair

And it also makes the lore so shaky. How are we supposed to know what really went on when they keep changing it?

To be really fair, no faction punishes their own for doing something horrible to the other faction.
Horde leaders got caught when they started sabotaging the horde itself, not for what they did to the alliance.

I’m impressed they remembered this angle. It was tucked away in a very old character profile for MoP-era Lor’themar that’s been lost to time.
That bit’s new at least. Kind of. I don’t believe the SC was explicitly assigned the “exiled mana vegan” backstory until now; prior consensus was they were Alliance/Dalarani loyalists first, not second.
I’d argue Jaina’s hands are no less bloody for handing her purge off to a hate group that seized the chance to murder innocents over beef with a government a thousand miles away, but regardless, if that’s an accurate top-down account of the purge then it’s a lot kinder to the Horde than I anticipated. I figured they’d demonize the Sunreavers to make Jaina look better, not the Silver Covenant.
What about Aethas? Does it finally raise the “Ishi bullies Aethas into silence” subplot from soft canon to hard canon?

I really feel like they got punished for all that they did. I think it was the whole bag that made Thrall go for Garrosh. He needed to be stopped.

A clear example would be Sylvanas back in Cata. Told not to use the plague (blight) against Gilneas but did it anyway and saw no real punishment from the Horde. Even when Garrosh visited to get an update on the conflict.
