Thanks Rogmasha, that’s some important context 
And this is when it’s worth remembering War Crimes and Day of the Dragon were written by very different authors. 
They don’t really bring that part up at the trial, unfortunately.
Proof on how sleezy Tyrande is.
“Yeah, I’m willing to forgive”
“You’re lying!”
Now thats an Epic Gamer moment.
Edit: we have Footage of Tyrande talking to Alexstrasza at the trial.

The proletariat are mighty when roused.
The Embassy updates are interesting. I feel sorry for Ji and Aysa hough, now they have to do the politics while everyone else fights.
Confirmed they won’t be used for anything but embassy stuff for a while, probably.
Imagine being so irrelevant that you, as a faction leader, get assigned to the role of welcoming committee while everyone else is out fighting,
Blizzard really done the Pandaren dirty.

A dead enemy has paid his dues. Do we not settle our differences when the hatchet is buried in our foe? The offender that is undone offends no more. The grudge is settled.
Well it makes sense, the Pandaren are the friendliest of the races.

On the topic of the whole Wrathion scenario. It does make sense that his purpose has been to research a way to combat the Old Gods, after all it was the Old Gods that were the downfall of his flight.
But that doesn’t excuse the blatant plot hole left behind from Mists of Pandaria. Looking forward to seeing how they patch that up haphazardly to try and wave it off as intentional.
What plot hole?
Where his Turban went.

Yeah real talk what happened to his turban, the best aspect of his appearance.
Plot hole probably wasn’t the right terminology. More that his focus in Mists of Pandaria was about preparing the world for the inevitable Legion invasion, and then not being present for it when it happened or showing any indication of involvement.
It was a major bit of foreshadowing by Blizzard that was just… forgotten.

You used to need a mount specific riding skill that was locked behind reaching exalted unless the faction was your race’s. (i.e. kodo riding skill)
Unfortunately that was gone by mid classic or so.
That’s also why I kinda appreciated cloud serpent riding skill.
The irony is that Wrathion’s actions lead to the Burning Legion invading in the first place.

Plot gap at very least. His primary driving motivation was combating the Legion and then during their biggest invasion ever he doesn’t show up and has now apparently pivoted to anti-Old Gods.

It fell into the plot hole. It’s cyclical like that.

And like I wrote, those were associated with the Twilight’s Hammer, not Moira. If you can find me anything that indicates there were Alliance (Dark Iron) NPCs doing this stuff, I’d be happy to know about it. As for the ”big ball of fire”, it’s not worse than Nelves using Ancients in Darkshore to stomp the Horde. I wouldn’t call it ”extremely questionable”.
This is off-topic anyhow, though.
The slaves were in Blackrock Depths, their city, patrolled by Dark Iron mobs. What else would they be?
Twilight Hammer Dark Iron dwarves. Those not loyal to Moira. Moira reclaimed Shadowforge City only recently. In the BRD dungeon, there are even the Twilight Hammer bosses around…
