A cinematic plays:
:Anduin and Greymane lead Alliance forces back to Brill, away from the cloud of blight. As they reach a clear area, both kings turn and face the walls of Lordaeron.
:
:
:A cold wind begins to blow; both kings turn, and Genn growls as a stormcloud approaches them from the rear.
:
:The cloud parts, revealing a massive Kul Tiran flagship held aloft by arcane magic. Standing at the bow, hair and cloak whipping in the wind, is...
:
:Jaina Proudmoore raises her hands, channeling a wave of frost magic to clear the blight clouds and freeze the Forsaken catapults and the risen skeletons.
:
:Anduin leads his rallied troops through the clearing haze towards Lordaeron. As he approaches the base of the walls, he turns and looks upward.
:
:Jaina uses her magic to swing the ship to port and expose its full starboard side, its arcane-charged broadside cannons blasting a hole in the city's outer walls. Approaching the breach, Anduin dismounts and draws Shalamayne.

: His axe on the ground beside the kneeling warrior, Varok has been laid low.

:
:
: Anduin kneels to appeal directly to the old warrior.
:
:
:
:Anduin stands and speaks to a few nearby guards.
:
: They bind Saurfang's wrists and walk him away.
:
:Varok responds with scepticism.
:
:
Follow Anduin into the throne room, where an ending cutscene plays:
:Anduin, Genn, Jaina and Alleria walk under the ruined belltower inside Lordaeron Keep. Anduin looks up at the dome of the royal palace, similarly to how Arthas had when he returned from Northrend at the start of the Third War. Pushing open the doors to the throne room, Anduin steps into the center of the seal on the floor to face Sylvanas, who is lounging on Terenas' throne. Her sarcasm drips heavily.
:
:
:Huffing at the interruption, Sylvanas rolls her eyes.
:
:Genn snarls in anger, but Anduin raises an arm to hold him back.
:
:
:Sylvanas points at the blade of Shalamayne, splashed with blood.
:
:
:
:
: Sylvanas sighs.
:
: Stepping forward, Genn responds with barely suppressed rage.
:
:
: Snapping at Genn, Anduin slams the tip of Shalamayne's blade against the floor with a resounding clang. Genn shifts his posture back to a standing position. Anduin turns back to the Warchief.
:
:Jaina looks away briefly while Anduin talks about his failure. Sylvanas rises from Terenas' throne and approaches the Alliance leaders; Genn snarls in anticipation for an attack while Alleria nocks an arrow and holds it steady at full draw, the two spreading out from Anduin to form a triangle with Jaina, surrounding him and Sylvanas as she stops face-to-face with him. Alleria glances up to the left as she hears a sound in the distance and what appears to be torchlight passing by behind one of the balconies, but quickly turns her attention back to her sister.
:
:Sylvanas becomes enveloped in shadows and lets out a banshee scream, knocking down her opponents and detonating barrels of Blight hidden in the balconies around the throne room before smashing through the ceiling of the dome. Anduin and the others move towards the door as the masonry collapses in front of them, blocking their exit.
:
:Jaina quickly conjures an arcane shield to protect the four leaders, then channels a teleportation spell, taking her, Anduin, Genn, and Alleria to the deck of her ship. As the teleport fades, Anduin runs to the railing with Genn following and looks down as the blight spreads throughout the entire city, then at a Horde gunship fleeing westwards back to Orgrimmar, staring angrily at Sylvanas and the other Horde leaders as they escape.
===Finale===
Scenario completed, players will appear at the Stormwind Harbor in a med tent. Halford Wyrmbane is nearby.
Upon completion of the quest, Tirisfal Glades changes phase to the one that appears in the scenario. Brill has been shattered and the Lion's Wake runs to the North Coast.
