Sourced entries are legitimate but when a mostly anonymous wiki has the power to trick people into thinking their headcanon is real, I’d be wary and assume they totally would abuse that influence, so always read wikis carefully unless the page is well sourced!
Not me using “draenei” phrases that are actually entirely headcanon because I was on the wrong wiki (the one that has player-made phrases and not the one that has in-game sources)
It’s okay, you can just admit you were bleating.

Daily reminder that the Focusing Iris Manabomb erasing Theramore from every timeline/reality was pure headcanon and it was instead just an arcane bomb destroying the city

Daily reminder that it did in fact rip apart other realities, and it wasn’t “just an arcane bomb”
The night sky was not a black background lit with the dull orange-red of flames consuming buildings and flesh, although some buildings had indeed caught fire earlier in the battle. Instead, there was a violet glow, almost pretty, like moonlight on snow, emanating from the city. And above that deceptively pleasant radiance, the sky was putting on a show. Bright spikes of lightning slashed through the blackness in all colors of the rainbow. Here and there, the jagged illumination lingered, moving and turning only to wink out and reappear elsewhere. They were close enough to hear booming and cracking sounds as the very fabric of the world was again and again rent asunder and knitted together. As the colorful lights paraded themselves in the sky, Baine thought incongruously of a phenomenon known as the northern lights he had seen in Northrend.
Without the gentling of the darkness, the stark devastation was blatant. Smoke still curled upward from the mostly dead fires. The arcane anomalies that had provided a show of lights at night were revealed to be evidence of realities and dimensions ripped asunder. One could even glimpse other worlds. Hovering in the air were not only rocks and chunks of earth that had been torn free, but the debris of buildings and weapons. Bodies turned slowly in the air, like grotesque puppets floating in water. The crackling and thundering were ceaseless.

Some say Quel’thalas only offered 300 cause they were celebrating the Carnea in there, in autumn.

Daily reminder that hte people making this assessment did so from far away and were laymen at best. Neither Baine nor the orc (iirc) ship captain are mages who are anything close to experts on dimensional matters or arcane magic.
You and others claiming this means the bomb nuked Theramore across whatever realities is pure headcanon. If what you imply is true we would have had infinite Focusing Iris mana bombs erasing the entirety of Azeroth because Garry or some other war criminal would do the exact same thing with different targets.

And this proves destruction of Theramore in all timelines and realities…how?

What’s a little naked wrestling between Thalassian brethren. A little Thalassian oiled wrestling.
“were revealed to be evidence of realities and dimensions ripped asunder.”
Maybe not timelines, but sure sounds like it caused chaos across realities.
to what extend, is the question I suppose.

Actually 
none of the quotes are POV observations from characters, but narrator statements. Both Baine’s and Gharga’s survey of Theramore takes place after the objective description of Theramore, giving their opinions on it. Neither Baine nor Gharga makes the assertion that reality was torn asunder.
The novel makes the direct statement that it ripped other realities and dimensions asunder, and it affected other worlds. The passage quoted is not my writing, but the novel’s; this is not headcanon.
That seems more a limitation of the writers not thinking out the connotations of infinite possibilities, however in BFA they went back and said that Our Garrosh is the Only Evil Garrosh in the timelines. In other timelines he was the greatest hero of the Horde, but we live in the darkest timeline.

It must be noted that the first two manabomb explosions we saw in lore caused manawraiths to ooze into reality and people to turn into ghosts. I think the description is perfectly in line with the Netherstorms example. We don’t know if there was a timeline erasure there; maybe that is why we could not visit Farahlon in WoD.

Quote me the novel where it states Theramore got erased in other timelines. Afterwards head to Dustwallow Marsh and have a chat with Zidormi.
To be fair, it was already about 300+ when I joined (the continuous debate, at least)
The thing is that no matter how many arguments I provide or of what sources they will never be enough for you. Because you see what you want to see.
The vampiric Darkfallen are extremely underrepresented in the game and their nature and abilities, as well as their personalities and aspirations, were not described well enough to make any loud statements. But we can clearly see that even in WotLK the term Sanlayn was used as a reference to the vampyric elves in service of the Lich King, while the word Darkfallen was used as their name, both in ICC and in Northrend (Borean Tundra…). That being said, the term Sanlayn can be interpreted as both the title of the organization and the convenient race indicator.
So if you affiliate with, let’s say, the Forsaken, you can no longer call yourself a member of the Sanlayn, because you can’t be a member of the two factions at once. Another question is the mind state and the physical needs of such elves, which is a whole different topic to duscuss.
It however doesn´t mention anything about Theramores in other realities.
Say her name: Christie Golden.
The queen of no worldbuilding herself (unless it´s from Exploring Kalimdor, which would be even funnier tbh).
You have yet to provide any.
Meanwhile, you completely ignored the quest text I provided which called non-Scourge, Horde-affiliated vampiric undead blood elves San´layn.
I didn’t sift through the following 150+ posts between this, so I’m sorry if this was brought up in the meantime.
I’m like 90 % certain “San’layn” had its meaning changed with the lore-adjustment of the Darkfallen term itself. So San’layn is the name of the specific Scourge sect of undead elves with a blood hankering, rather than an umbrella term for that entire condition/curse.
In which case (and assuming I’m not remembering things wrong), a character could be a former San’layn, ie. a former member of the sect who then quit its ranks.

It was revealed to me in a dream.
