Why are alisaie and alphinaud in Dawntrail?

[Coratanni]

Like ok no problem, i get the devs want us to see familiar faces... but why?

Why were we even in Dawntrail?

I have a feeling the new writers don't really know how to write the scions so they just try to utilize them as little as possible. The mid expansion scene where alisaie stops wuk lamat from attacking seem so out of character. Pre-dawntrail alisaie would have been the first to attack him.
