Divergent Courses (WC3 Human)

Divergent Courses is an interlude in the Scourge of Lordaeron campaign.

Three days later, amongst the ruins of Stratholme...

The interlude begins with Jaina surveying the wreckage of Stratholme, as the surviving villagers pile the corpses of the dead onto pyres.

• Jaina Proudmoore
• Uther the Lightbringer
• The Prophet

• Jaina Proudmoore: So much death... I can't believe Arthas could've done this.
• Uther runs toward Jaina.
• Uther the Lightbringer: Jaina! Jaina Proudmoore!
• Jaina Proudmoore: Lord Uther?
• Uther the Lightbringer: Ah, Jaina. I thought I might find you here. Where has he gone, girl? Where has Arthas taken the fleet?
• Jaina Proudmoore: He came to me before he left. I pleaded with him not to go. I told him it sounded like a trap!
• Uther the Lightbringer: Where?
• Jaina Proudmoore: Northrend. He's gone to Northrend to hunt Mal'Ganis.
• Uther the Lightbringer: Damn that boy! I've got to inform King Terenas. Don't be too hard on yourself, girl. You had nothing to do with this... slaughter.
• Uther leaves. The Prophet flies towards Jaina and turns into his human form.
• The Prophet: The dead in this land might lie still for the time being, but don't be fooled. Your young prince will find only death in the cold north.
• Jaina Proudmoore: You! Arthas is only doing what he believes is right!
• The Prophet: Commendable as that may be, his passions will be his undoing. It falls to you now, young sorceress. You must lead your people west to the ancient lands of Kalimdor. Only there can you combat the shadow and save this world from the flame.
