Otoye: Like hungry predators, de Alliance monsters closed in on their prey.

Otoye: De heartless Alliance stormed de throne room. Our noble king defied them to de very end!

Genn Greymane: King Rastakhan of Zandalar...I order you to submit! You will bow before your new master, King Anduin Wrynn, and you will deliver your daughter to us as a hostage!

King Rastakhan: You...an exile without a homeland...you dare invade dese sacred halls and demand dat I turn my kingdom over to you?

King Rastakhan: De Zandalari built an empire dat would endure for over ten-thousand years...while your barbaric ancestors scuffled in de dirt.

King Rastakhan: WE conquered this world. WE brought it glory. You...you are nothing. Merely de latest in a long line of savages seeking to undermine our greatness.

King Rastakhan: No, I will not surrender. Because no matter what happens here today...Zandalar will stand long after your Alliance has crumbled to dust.

King Rastakhan: But if you are so eager to meet Bwonsamdi...den step forward. De Loa of Death awaits!

King Rastakhan: Zandalar forever!

Genn Greymane: So be it. Heroes of the Alliance...strike him down! No mercy for this savage!



Thanks to Squishei for the dialogue.

Anduin may have had a naive view of how the city attack would go. The following dialogue is taken from the Alliance discussion after the Jaina encounter:



“My king, the attack on Zuldazar was a resounding success.”

“The Horde is losing on all fronts. The Alliance should achieve victory in a matter of weeks.”

“Yes, but at what cost? So many fallen....including Mekkatorque, whose life hangs by a thread. And I fear the death of Rastakhan will ignite a fire in the hearts of the Zandalari.”

“He was a casualty of war, Anduin. A king must be willing to sacrifice himself for his people without doubt or hesitation.”

“I know that, Genn....as well as anyone. But our mission was to drive a wedge between the Zandalari and the Horde. Instead, we may have strengthened their bond.”

“More than half the Zandalari vessels were destroyed in the initial strike, and the Horde fleet is in disarray. Their remaining ships cannot hope to stand agains the Kul Tiran navy.”
