The Shattering Prelude to Cataclysm/YMMV


 * Die for Our Ship: Aggra gets a fair amount of this. This is not surprising, since her debut sinks the Thrall/Jaina ship, but it still comes off as quite vindictive.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: What the night elf sentinels describe of how their companions were not only killed, but skinned and chopped into pieces.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Magatha.
 * Strangled by the Red String: Thrall and Aggra.
 * Tear Jerker: The aftermath of an earthquake in Kharanos, which claims the lives of many people, including one of Anduin's friends..
 * Values Dissonance: Jaina's theory on why Thrall is unable to denounce the attacks on the night elves as strongly as Varian thinks he should is that orc culture does not allow it.
