Instead it was completely glossed over and either Hiroi doesn't understand the lore of the game he's been on for around a decade, or he actively is trying to ignore what happened before so he can make this about his Mary Sue furry character. Both situations are bad and prove he needs to be let go.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it's more incompetence on his part than malicious intent since I'm not familiar with him or his work in general but yeah, the end result is the same kind of low quality that disrespects both what came before it and the player's intelligence.

That's the kind of shit Steve Danuser did to WoW as narrative lead, and I'd definitely put Danuser on the side of malicious intent. I won't go as far as saying Dawntrail is as bad as Shadowlands, but it's certainly made me realize that Dragonflight could've been a lot worse, because it was also supposed to be a sort of "reset" expansion with lower stakes.
