The Zandalari navy was actively helping the Horde engage the Alliance at sea. Official allies or not, they were engaging in hostile acts and the only real reason the Horde ever stood a chance in the war. Rastakhan’s death was merely a by-product because he was too proud to surrender.

Was merely a setback probably knowing blizz 
oh that’s rich lol
What I found funny about that is that the Alliance’s version of Jaina’s fight isn’t even accurate to itself. The footman (or whatever) says something about Jaina giving the Horde lots of chances to turn back… and then the first thing she says is that she’ll give them one chance.
Are we really sure G’huun is dead?
I heard a theory that when he “died,” a bunch of little mini-G’huun’s left the corpse and burrowed into Azeroth under his body, where they will slowly grow and reemerge as an army of G’huun’s in a later expansion.
So in a way, even G’huun didn’t really “die” die.
/moo

You don’t know who G’huun is? Huh… well thats a new one.
Yeah I was quite amused by how they handled the “re-telling” dialogue for those encounters on each side.
Ultimately Rastakhan wasn’t even in Anduin’s mind when he signed off on the attack, Jaina wanted to confront but probably not kill, and Greymane had no problem going through with it after the king failed to surrender. Alliance had strategic reasons for being there but it can be said that a few went too far.

N’Zoth’s brain got cut in half. That seems as final as anything to me.
She basically hearthed.
The way BoD worked was this:
In Wing 1, everyone played their own characters and there were some modifications to the boss encounters to make them the opposite faction.
In Wing 2, Horde played Alliance characters and their narrative was “retold” from the Horde point of view. The actual action was the Alliance killing Rastakhan.
In Wing 3, Alliance played Horde characters and their narrative was “retold” from the Alliance point of view. The actual action was the Horde driving Jaina off.
It was weird at the time but in retrospect it worked pretty well. The only thing they could have improved was to let us keep our mogs to the extent they were cross faction mogs.

Because Sylvanas went off the deep end shortly afterward and that took priority, then Jaina helped the Horde leaders save another Horde leader, so much of the leadership became ambivalent toward her again.
Except Talanji, who thought it was complete BS that getting back at the Proudmoores wasn’t high on the docket after everything was said and done.

Citation? The only engagement between the Alliance and the Golden Fleet prior to the assault on Zuldazar I remember is the Golden Fleet slapping the Alliance down as they pursued the neutral diplomat they’d put in a dungeon as they entered Zandalari waters.

At least the Horde’s was internally consistent though.
I mean, anyone with half a brain should’ve known Rastakhan wasn’t going to surrender, especially after they invaded his city and killed his people. War’s war and all but I’m still puzzled how anyone thought that they were there for any reason but to kill him.

Does anyone?
What was it doing again?
Where did it come from?
Did the alliance know about this threat?
We’re talking about Jaina, not Sylvanas.

I think the closest we canonically got to the Horde using the fleet pre-BFD was the Zandalari ship we used to go on island expeditions.
I know who G’huun is, I had to run his stupid orbs because apparently Wraith Walk is actually decent for it.

Hey, hey. Hey now.
We could get on a Zandalari ship to the Echo Isles as well.

The Horde story revolved almost entirely around G’huun and various figures who were trying to free G’huun.
Alliance stumbled in because Brann smelled titan artifacts.

Name one thing Jaina has done that is “ridiculously evil”.
I do agree with this actually.
