I'm kinda sad a major lore event like this is getting only 2 minor quests.

Better be some significant fall out over this one later on Blizz.. maybe its own book? I mean the ramifications of Dalaran having an Alliance presence and no Horde, Jaina (with her obvious anti-horde stance) leading the Kirin Tor, The Kirin Tor openly opposing Garrosh at Theramore all should require some delving.

Time to do some major lore building on the Dalaran, Blood Elves, Silvermoon and the Silver Covenant I think.

Comment by Tharama

Any attempts to commit suicide on this quest will result in Jaina teleporting you back to safety.

That means no exploring this phased Dalaran.

Comment by Reignac

Very awesome cutscene. I abandoned the quest to watch it again, heh.

Comment by pwnit

Do not worry, whatever options should you choose in the dialogue, the result will always be the same, except for Jaina's words in quest.
Also you can safely abandon the quest to see what would Jaina say if you chose the other option.

A transcript of the cutscene:

Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Nobody dislikes Garrosh more than me. I wrestle with my anger every day.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Come with me - look around you a moment.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: In the aftermath of Theramore, my first instinct was to decimate Orgrimmar - to kill every man woman and child in the city.
Anduin Wrynn says: ...Jaina!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I'm not proud. Since then, Kalecgos and I have talked at length about power, and how it should be used.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: The Kirin-Tor has a legacy of abuse. Kel'thuzad turned his knowledge of the arcane arts toward Necromancy.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Kael'thas Sunstrider was also a student here, another of our fold who betrayed us.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Every day I ask myself: "What's the right thing to do?"
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Anduin, you know more than anyone, it's important to separate the Horde from its people.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: The Sunreavers still operate within this city. Alliance and Horde work together.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: As long as we stay above the war, then there's hope for the world as a whole.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I see our city as a beacon of light, showing the way.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: If we can trust one another here, then there's hope for the rest of the world.
Anduin Wrynn says: I understand. I'll talk to my father.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Thank you, Anduin.

Full Transcript of the conversation you have for The Fate of Dalaran:

------------------------------------
Varian sent you as well? I'm outnumbered in my own city!

<Jaina's eyes flash mischievously.>

Let's go about this a different way. Put yourself in my shoes. Imagine that YOU are the leader of the Kirin Tor. <name>! The most influential archmage in all of Azeroth!

What would YOU do?
------------------
<REPLY>I would commit our order to an Alliance victory! <go to >
------------------
<REPLY>I would struggle to maintain our neutrality. <go to >

------------------------------------
Spoken like a stalwart Alliance <class>! Believe me, I understand the sentiment.

Now then, as leader of the Kirin Tor and a faithful part of the Alliance, what would you do about the Sunreavers? True, they are advocates of the Horde. But they have been allies and productive members of the Kirin Tor for over 2000 years. This city is their home.

Would you expel them?
------------------
<REPLY>Yes. Horde is Horde. <go to >
------------------
<REPLY>Not if they renounced the Horde. <go to >

------------------------------------
<Jaina's eyes grow sad.>

So... you would purge the city? Cast the Sunreavers from their homes? The very same Sunreavers who helped humans discover magic in the first place?

You and I are obviously very different. I suppose I see my role - and the mission of the Kirin Tor - a little differently. My mind is set. Would you like to hear what I think?
------------------
<REPLY>What do you think? <go to >

------------------------------------
<Jaina brushes her hair from her eyes, deep in thought.>

You're so passionate for your cause and clear in convictions. Believe me when I say that the Sunreavers are the same. The Horde is their family.

Not all of them support Garrosh. But they're not about to abandon their own people... I couldn't ask them to without tearing the Kirin Tor apart.

The Kirin Tor is sacred to me. We need to stay united.
------------------
<REPLY>Are you sure? <go to >

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

------------------------------------
Ah! A very bold decision in times like these. Your honesty is refreshing!

Tell me, leader of the Kirin Tor, what if the Horde killed your friends? Your family? Destroyed everything your had. Could you maintain your conviction even then, Archmage <name>?
------------------
<REPLY>Yes - The Kirin Tor must remain above faction squabbles. <go to >
------------------
<REPLY>I'm not sure if I could. <go to >

------------------------------------
<Jaina smiles.>

If only we all shared your strength and conviction! To be honest, I struggle. Every. Day.

But you are right. The Kirin Tor is bigger then you, me, Alliance or Horde. I have a responsibility to preserve it, and to use its powers wisely.

You and I seem to agree. I doubt the King sees it that way. But... do you think we can convince Anduin?
------------------
<REPLY>Let's talk to him. <go to >

------------------------------------
<Jaina warms to you immediately.>

A kindred soul! Thank you, <name>, for your honesty. You seem to understand my struggle. Every day, the hard decisions. Every night... the nightmares.

But I have a responsibility to preserve the Kirin Tor. I'm glad you are with me on this. The King would never see it this way. Do you think we can explain it to Anduin?
------------------
<REPLY>Let's talk to him. <go to >

Who needs a suicide hotline when you have Jaina.

Comment by shadow0506

Excuse me, Is there anyone know the background music for the cutscenes?

I'm sorry, my English is very poor ... hope someone can know what I want to express, thank.

I really like the background music!

Spoiler alert!

Youtube video of the cinematic after dialog with Jaina.
Since I can't post link, search for "World of Warcraft - Cinematic - Quest: Fate of Dalaran" on youtube or type in the link written with spaces below.

Comment by Rankkor

That cute speech Jaina gives? BULLSHlT, all of it.

2 minutes of BS followed by more BS.

Why the downrate? the truth stings?

Comment by Eillesthis

After turn-in:

Anduin Wrynn says: <name>, we should discuss matters back in Krasarang. For now, thank you for your help. There is a portal that can return you to Lion's Landing whenever you choose.

Via in-game mail:

From: Agent Connelly
Subject: Something's Up in Kun-Lai

Agent <name>-

Connelly here. Thanks again for your help in Kun-Lai.

I'm keeping close tabs on the Horde and a lot is going down. The Blood Elves have been sent in to tear apart every mogu ruin that Garrosh can find. Result? I'm finding a lot of elven corpses. I don't think they're too happy about it. Maybe we can exploit this?

Heard you've been having tea and biscuits with Jaina Proudmoore. She give you more bunk about the Kirin-Tor being neutral? We'll see how long that lasts.

-Connelly

Next: To Mogujia

Comment by ghcoltsfan

after this quest there is a portal back to lion's landing, so there is no need to hearth :)

Comment by Rekknab

After jumping down while disconnected from internet/lagging, you will die when you reconnect again, and your corpse will be teleported back to the Purple Parlor.
Upon releasing, you will appear as ghost below in the Violet Citadel. There are no portals back, and jumping down from Dalaran will just teleport your ghost back to the Violet Citadel, leaving you no option but to spirit ress and take the resurrection sickness.

Once you are alive, you will not get teleported back to the Purple Parlor, and you may freely roam through the city. All objects you could interact with are removed (Portals, Fall of the Lich King cinematic near the fountain, books (schools of arcane magic)), except for chairs, mailboxes and guildbanks.

Fishing gives items you would fish up in the ordinary Dalaran. Fishing near the Violet Hold, for example, will grant you low level fishes or Slippery Eel, near the sewers you will catch a lot of Sewer Carp and Magic Eater, and near the fountain i.a. and The Coin Master

Also, this Dalaran is full of Sunreavers (the same Dalaran as used later this quest-line, so you might see other players too). The Sunreavers in the main city won't attack you, but there are large clusters of hostile ones in the Sewers and the Sunreaver's Sanctuary. You should watch out there, for you still have the resurrection sickness and are really vulnerable (plus 75% reduced damage done).

If you want to escape from this Dalaran, jumping down is no option; you will hear the sound you always hear when falling down in eye of the storm, and you see your character laying on the water 80yds beneath you. No spirit ress is required now however, since your body will get teleported back to the violet citadel when you hit the release button.
You can't fly away either, because only ground mounts are allowed here.
Leaving the place is only possible by hearhstoning/teleporting (For example mage/DK/druid teleport or items), getting summoned by friends or a warlock, or, if you lost your hearthstone, by contacting a GM.

Comment by skidlz

On the Horde side we first learn of this while on What's in the Box?. Or at least I did anyway...

Comment by 846700

Note that you MUST use the portal at Lion's Landing to get to the purple parlor. If you travel there by other means you will not be able to pick up the quest.

Comment by Fist

I strongly suggest casting a glance. SPOILER ALERT You will see Jaina Proudmoore killing Horde NPCs on the streets of Dalaran; quite a sight! (pic attached).

Comment by 1129197

Priests with Mind Vision spell can cast that on Vereesa Windrunner at top of steps to Violet Citadel (she's the only) "person" visible from the balcony you're on. Once you mind vison her, you can recast it back and forth among the various other NPC's (sunreavers) that she can see. You find various NPC's quivering in fear or running around. Depending on where she is, you see that Lady Jaina Proudmoore is circling Dalaran accompanied by two water elementals and eliminating the sunreavers.

Comment by stickshift

Seeing Shattrath become a ghost town didn't phase me much, but when it happened to Dalaran I wasn't happy. This cutscene is for all the folks that still hearth here.

Comment by musicallittle1

Stupid question time: How do I start the quest? What is the required reputation? I just completed the quests that come before this, but I have no new quests.

Comment by sconley

I'm trying to get exalted with Operation Shieldwall.
I'm using Zygorguides.
The guide is telling me to pick up this quest "The Fate of Dalaran" from Anduin Wrynn but does not tell me where he is.
I have no idea where to pick it up.
In Shrine of the Seven Stars, I used the portal to Dalaran, but could not find Anduin where Wowhead says he will be.

Where do I pick up the quest "The Fate of Dalaran"?
After doing some searching in Wowhead, I found a pre-quest "The Kirin Tor" The Kirin Tor, but that quest is not showing up in Lion's Landing for me. There are no comments for that quest.
Any help will be appreciated.

Comment by Flanell

The cutscene in Remix is now ruined by Kalecs new model. Makes no sense at this point in the history. I guess we can be glad to see Jainas old post-manabomb model instead of the Boralus one.

The Fate of Dalaran

Speak with Jaina Proudmoore and hear her story.

	Speak with Jaina Proudmoore (1)

Description

Jaina is refusing to hear me out. Father was hoping I would have some pull with her, but I think she still sees me as a child.

You, on the other hand, are a hero of the Alliance and I know she respects your deeds.

Is there something you can say to her to convince her we need her help?
