When did that happen? I don’t remember Aethas ever mentioning him, but I could have forgotten something. Also, what did he say?
Well, the Sunreavers are just a “socio-political” designation, not Aethas’ own outright noble house, so Songweaver could have been one and been something else.
Like, say, maybe one of Kael’thas’ former followers from Outland, some of whom came home and reintegrated after TBC. Which would make a certain degree of sense given his connection to the mana bomb and frankly maniacal behavior when he betrayed the Kirin Tor and tried to bring down Theramore’s gates from inside during the siege.
(Honestly he was acting so over-the-top evil at the time that I half expected to someday learn he was a Legion plant, sent to help worsen the faction conflict in the interests of keeping the Horde and Alliance from uniting when the demons eventually returned. His bizarre loyalty to Garrosh above even and to the detriment of Silvermoon only reinforced that potential impression to me.)
Aethas failing to properly vet such a person out of naive optimism could add up. He was all about proving that they could be trusted, so he might have been especially susceptible to assuming that a former Sunfury, Firewing, etc. had completely given up the penchant for cruelty and violence that Kael’thas’ followers had come to display as they recklessly indulged in the energies of the Netherstorm.

If at all, I hope it’s just a quick couple quests to track him down so he can laugh at how much of a tool Aethas was as Rommath throttles him into the dirt. Then maybe we can move on with our lives - like Rommath and Oculeth establishing a new mage organization for the Horde to be a counter to the Kirin Tor.

It was in the Tides of War novel.
Ah, okay, haven’t checked that one out in a while. If you have it handy, what did Aethas say?
Only that Aethas sent Thalen as a “gesture of goodwill” and reflects bitterly on the irony. What Zerde naturally forgot to mention though is that Rhonin also “personally vouched” for Songweaver, so it’s likely he spent some time cultivating the image of a model Kirin Tor conciliator and worked both of them to get assigned to Theramore.

he is a korkron he leads the remnants in deepest ragefire
how can he join alliance scum
cant wait to see the underground orc city he has been busy with
No one said Rhonin is perfect. Heck, if we want anyone to blame for Dalaran being destroyed it should be him and his hairbrained scheme to turn the entire city complete with its civilian population into a flying fortress.
On this note, I still find Khadgar’s whole “we wont interfer with the worlds politics” stance to be idiotic. Especially considering Dalaran was correct in suspecting something nefarious about Prestor.
I still thing this entire “we shouldnt rebuild Dalaran” stance is idiotic and hope it goes the way of the Aspects being depowered and someone down the line goes “yeah lets reverse course on it”.

Go ahead tbh the last one and whatever one they wanna put into this xpac should be burned lmao.
Percent.
Putridly sick of Blizzard consistently removing any nuance from the Alliance & insistently justifying the Purge of Dalaran …
Heck, even in the new ‘Chronicles’ — They apparently presented the Alliance & Jaina as in the right & provided more justification for the Purge 
God, I really really really really really REALLY hope that in ‘Midnight’ – The Blood Elves completely & utterly humble the Silver Covenant, the Void Elves; along with especially Alleria & Vereesa.
Sick to death of the Blood Elves being portrayed as the silly wrong-doers who are needed to be shown their place – Especially considering that the Horde already have that a lot in general as it is, we hardly need more.
