Dude.
What are you talking about.
The first game was called Orcs and Humans.
This is literally all the setting was about for like a decade or more.
You yourself have fallen victim to it several times.

*this is a meme in a friend group about some rp event that happened in an old game i used to work at.

the blood elves refused to leave Dalaran quietly, Some of them had made thier home, livelilhood, and community there. […] the cites authorities as well as the Aliance aligned Silver Covenant combed the city, forcing the blood elves into exile. Where the Blood Elves resisted, brutality followed
It state there, they were only “brutalized” if they resisted.
Blizzard created a bunch of monocultures with as much depth as a sheet of paper. They have tried to do better recently, to be sure. But still.

They’ve also written multiple books (4?) where high elves snub blood elves and basically wish death on them.
This is not coming out of no where.
We are not “putting more thought into it than Blizzard.”

That is true… I’ve never really got why, though. From what we have it is the same as imagining militant vegans who murder you if you eat hamburgers. It is sort of over the top comic book logic.
The whole schism ceased making any sort of sense at the end of TBC when the well was reignited.

It’s stated that Jaina charged the Silver Covenant – whomst she knew hated the blood elves and were completely biased in every regard – with removing the Sunreavers. She did not charge the actual Dalaran guard. She did not in any way punish the Silver Covenant. She did not in any way reprimand the Silver Covenant.
She approved of their ethnic purge of Blood Elves.
Fullstop.

You mean when you cut out the stuff about the SC hatred, and the violence increasing that was the point I made? I mean, you cut off a sentence to try and avoid the point I was making
And what is the meaning of resisting here?

Resisting arrest/being exiled.
You are asking for two different things. You were asking proof it said only those who resisted were attacked. And that is what the quote shows.
The Sunreavers were legal citizens of Dalaran.
They had a right to their homes in Dalaran.
Jaina and the Silvercovenant denied them their rights and ethnically purged them from the city.

I mean, the one guy alliance are sent to explicitly kill was killed for wanting to withdraw their possessions from the bank before going.
I mean, the statement isn’t actually saying that only resisters were killed, but that where there was resistence there was brutality. That can mean that if one person in an area with multiple people resisted that they came down on everyone too. And again, the statement of the violence ratcheting up can imply that it became more indescriminate.
Again, resistance could be as little as arguing back, and brutality does not describe a well heeled operation only using the force that is necessary.

But how is what this book says any different from the Alliance POV?

Can someone create an actual thread to discuss Chronicle 4, because the trolling losers in this one have destroyed it so thoroughly with their pointless debates?

Even under that assumption that would be the fault of individual SC and not Jaina or its leadership who specifically state the goal was imprison them/exile them afterward.

You know, I had to reread it. It says he was gathering assets. It doesn’t even says said assets where his. It possible it was his but Vereesa didn’t know(or care)
Nope, no clue the paramilitary hate group would possible use any excuse to commit paramilitary hate group activities.

And for all they knew he was another of the Horde’s agent trying to steal from Dalaran, again.
So, full disclaimer: I did not read this entire thread before commenting.
It doesn’t surprise me that there is less information. Even with the messy parts of Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands in play, there’s just less to fix/explain than there was in the other books.
The beginnings of Book 1 and Book 2 are full of brand new information because they document thousands of years that are only occasionally referenced in games.
Book 3 had to clean up Warcraft 3 and the early World of Warcraft expansions because there were retcons and just generally some weird story decisions (us killing Illidan and Kael’thas going bad) that needed further explanation to make more sense in the context of the story.
Book 4 doesn’t have that problem. Some clarifications, a few new-ish interesting little tidbits, and a good reference book for all the expansions is all I need.

She also did not admonish or punish them for doing what she knew they would do.

There is nothing to suggest she knew they would do that and more importantly there is nothing to suggest those who even commited the worse of abuse are even still alive. For all know they were killed by the Horde already.
In any case, I suspect we will end up dealing with it in Midnight.
So what you’re saying is that no, no one got punished for the atrocities of the purge.
