'''Daelin Proudmoore''' was the "[[Lord Admiral]]"{{Cite|W2Man|43}} {{Cite|DotD|4}} and king of [[Kul Tiras]].{{Cite|APG|161}} {{Cite|ToD|72-73}} As "[[Grand Admiral]]" of the Alliance, he was the supreme commander of the naval forces of the Alliance during the [[Second War]]. He was a staunch enemy of the Horde, refusing to believe that it could ever change its ways — he greatly hated the orcs and would have been more than willing to see them all dead. Eventually he was consumed by his own hatred, killed by the Horde led by [[Rexxar]].

Proudmoore led the island nation of Kul Tiras in the Second War, and it was Kul Tiras who funded much of the armada of the [[Alliance]]. After the First War, [[orcs]] began to attack coastal settlements in Kul Tiras and the surrounding shores of [[Lordaeron]] and [[Khaz Modan]]. And with his longtime friend [[Anduin Lothar]] at his side, Proudmoore wouldn’t back down from a fight.

Pronounced Lord of all the Alliance’s mighty fleets, Proudmoore led the naval assault on the orcs, destroying their forces on land, sea, and air, while managing the [[refinery|oil refineries]] in [[Stratholme]], which provided the main node of resources for the navy. He lost his eldest son, [[Derek Proudmoore|Derek]], and everyone on board the six ships of the [[Third Fleet]] when they were attacked by dragons.{{Cite|DotD|4}} {{Cite|ToD|314}}

Proudmoore stayed beside [[King Terenas]] through the political turmoil that followed the Second War, even when he opted to have the orcs put into [[internment camps]]. His daughter, Jaina, became involved with Terenas' son, [[Arthas]], but their affair was ended when she chose to focus on her studies of magic.

Well done, <name>. The loss of the iron dwarf commander should be enough to break the remaining defenders. The Earthen should be able to deal with the survivors.

== Notes ==
Proudmoore also had a second daughter outside of his marriage when he had an affair with an elven sorceress named [[Kilnar Goldensword]]. The daughter, [[Finnall]], was not made publicly known.

===Aftermath of the Third War===
 
[[File:AdmiralProudmoorePortrait.jpg|thumb|left|Daelin in Warcraft III.]]
 
Proudmoore remained a close ally of Lordaeron for many years, with Jaina studying in Dalaran under [[Antonidas]] himself. He was crushed and horrified to hear the news that Lordaeron was destroyed by the demonic invasion. When he searched Lordaeron for survivors, he found nothing but legions of [[undead]] and [[demons]], and few survivors.
 
Grand Admiral Proudmoore is one of the people responsible for the breakdown of [[Horde]]-[[Alliance]] relations after the fall of the [[Burning Legion]]. In the aftermath of the [[Third War]] Daelin departed from Kul Tiras, leaving his son [[Tandred Proudmoore|Tandred]] behind, taking a large part of the Kul Tiras fleet and sailing across the Great Sea to [[Kalimdor]], in order to search for his daughter and the survivors that fled there after Lordaeron fell to the Scourge. Though Jaina Proudmoore had managed to earn [[Warchief]] [[Thrall|Thrall's]] trust, Daelin felt that he had to crush the Horde before they gained a foothold in this "new land" and became too powerful to defeat.

The Alliance quest chain starting with {{quest|Softening the Blow}} also sends the character into Thor Modan.
He began raiding the coast and assaulting the orcish settlement, but when they began to fight back, he withdrew and retreated to the island citadel of [[Theramore]] which he discovered Jaina had established. When he arrived, he was overjoyed to find her alive, but found her keeping some strange company: [[Rexxar]] the [[Mok'Nathal]], [[Rokhan]] the [[Darkspear]] [[troll]] and [[Chen Stormstout]], all allies of the [[Horde]], were with her. Proudmoore immediately demanded that they all be arrested, but Jaina retreated and helped Rexxar and his friends escape.

== Quest progression ==
Unwilling to allow Jaina any explanation, Proudmoore usurped control over Theramore and used it as the staging ground for his newest campaign to have his vengeance on the orcs, but he was beaten back by their numerous allies, and was forced to retreat back to Theramore. But Thrall and Rexxar knew that Proudmoore would never stop harassing their people while he still drew breath. Proudmoore established a naval blockade around Theramore Isle to prevent the Horde from launching a counterattack. What the Admiral didn't count on was his own daughter siding against him. Jaina realized that her father was trapped in the past and that his vendetta against the orcs would only lead to more needless death and destruction for both sides. She approached Thrall and informed him of a goblin shipyard that housed juggernauts capable of breaking the Admiral's blockade. Rexxar liberated the shipyard and used the juggernauts to sink the six powerful battleships protecting Theramore.

The Horde then laid [[A Blaze of Glory#Theramore Isle|siege]] to Theramore and battled their way to his keep, where Rexxar squared off against the Admiral himself. Thrall tried to reason with Admiral Proudmoore, telling him that the Horde was no longer the same enemy he had fought so many years ago. Proudmoore, however, refused to believe that the orcs could ever change and launched himself into battle. After an arduous fight, Daelin Proudmoore, victim of his own hatred, was slain by [[Rexxar]]. With his death, the battle ceased. Jaina knelt at the body of her prideful father and mournfully asked why he didn't listen. Rexxar told Jaina to remember her father for the proud warrior he was.

Admiral Proudmoore was succeeded as head of the Proudmoore family by his children, Jaina and Tandred.

Objectives

Kurun on the hill overlooking Thor Modan wants you to kill Iron Thane Argrum.

Description

If we can't overcome the defenders inside Thor Modan, the iron dwarves can hold out forever. The Earthen are bravely taking on the constructs built by the sons of iron, but they cannot break into the city.

The tunnels narrow too quickly for my fellow giants to be of use, so our options are few. Would you be willing to venture into the city and kill the dwarf commanding the resistance?

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

Inv boots fabric 01 [Forge-Scarred Sandals] Inv pants leather 12 [Iron-Shatter Leggings]
Inv chest chain 05 [Flame-Tested Chestguard] Inv gauntlets 30 [Grips of Flawed Temper]

You will also receive: 5g 90s

Progress

Were you able to kill the commander?

Completion

Well done, <name>. The loss of the iron dwarf commander should be enough to break the remaining defenders. The Earthen should be able to deal with the survivors.

Notes

The Iron Thane is near the (NE) end of the trench. If you cannot fly and don't want to wade through all the mobs (possibly "again") to get to the thane, you could climb onto any of the middle pillars and jump into the water. There are also some (many?) spots where a fall is not necessarily fatal.

The Runic Prophecies is another quest that sends you deep into Thor Modan, and can usefully be done at the same time as this one.

The Alliance quest chain starting with Softening the Blow also sends the character into Thor Modan.
