Jaina: The Old God has been vanquished. The Alliance and Horde have ended hostilities.

Jaina: This should be a day of celebration, Anduin. Yet you wear your troubles like a crown.

Anduin: I'm so glad that after all you endured, you have found peace within your heart, Jaina. I can't say the same about myself, though. Not yet.

Anduin: Sylvanas is out there somewhere. Until she's brought to justice, I don't think Tyrande or Genn will truly consider the war to be over.

Jaina: The Kul Tiran fleet is scouring the seas, and Shaw has spies searching every dark corner of Azeroth. She can't hide for long.

Anduin: I don't believe she will. Which is exactly what concerns me.

Anduin: I saw you speaking with a messenger from Kul Tiras, Jaina. Is everything alright?

Jaina: Nothing to worry about. It was a letter from a certain eager cadet asking to see Stormwind... and to learn more about her father.

Anduin: Taelia. Please tell her that this isn't a good time for visitors.

Jaina: She deserves to hear the truth, Anduin. From you.

Anduin: Tirion Fordring himself made us swear that we would keep the secret of Bolvar's fate. You made that vow just as I did.

Jaina: I remember your father once telling me that the hardest thing about a promise isn't keeping it, but knowing when it's right to break it.

Anduin: Bolvar was a noble man. To know that he sits frozen upon that accursed throne, devoting his very life to keeping the monsters at bay...

Anduin: It breaks my heart. I can't bear to see it break Taelia's, too.

Jaina: The decision is yours, Anduin. But if she learns that the truth was kept from her, it will hurt her all the more.



Katherine Proudmoore says: King Wrynn, there is someone you should meet.

Katherine Proudmoore says: Along with your champion, she was instrumental in saving our kingdom... and my life.

Taelia says: It is an honor to meet you, King Wrynn. I am Taelia.

Taelia says: Taelia Fordragon.

Anduin Wrynn says: Fordragon?!

Katherine Proudmoore says: Daughter of Bolvar. Fostered under our protection since the third war.

Anduin Wrynn says: Taelia... please, rise. The honor is mine.

Taelia says: Did you know my father?

Anduin Wrynn says: Highlord Bolvar was a great man. A true hero to the Alliance--and to me.

Anduin Wrynn says: I remember now... he used to write you letters. He had a nickname for you...

Taelia says: "My shining star."

Taelia says: The letters stopped coming. I... I have so many questions.

Anduin Wrynn says: Taelia, when time permits, you must come to Stormwind as my guest. I have many stories to share about your father.

When Daelin asked me to leave his guard and raise this child of the Eastern Kingdoms, I struggled to understand why.



Why thrust this burden on me? Why deny me the honor of fighting by his side? I thought maybe I had done something to lose his faith.



Over the years, I have come to realize that the opposite was true. He wanted Taelia to grow up strong of arm and noble of heart - and he had faith that I could make that happen.

These days Cyrus is the Harbormaster, but he used to be one of Daelin Proudmoore's most trusted knights! I lost my mother when the Scourge hit Lordaeron. My father sent me here to be raised away from the war. I don't know much about him... just that he was a Stormwind knight who gave his life fighting the Lich King. Daelin hand-picked Cyrus to raise me and forced him to take a desk job. It's the only reason he wasn't at Theramore. He's probably checking in that other Alliance ship. Let's go!
