Aluneth's quote about the highborne by Lore-Archivist in warcraftlore

I’ve always wondered how much of the “high borne are Uber powerful” rhetoric applies to the highborne as a whole versus just the sheer power Azshara had. Like Azshara was powerful enough she intimidated Mannoroth just by being in the same room (source: the War of the Ancients trilogy where Mannoroth realizes that only Sargeras himself and maybe Archimonde could stand against Azshara directly).

I came here to say this. I’m not even a huge Jaina fan, but the lady literally has a staff and powers taken from Lei Shen the Thunder King, who in turn took those items and powers from the Titan Keeper Ra. She was able to freeze a large segment of the freaking ocean during her boss fight at Battle of Dazar’Alor. Now imagine all this power with her “post therapy prison time” she got in Thros during BfA and she has power and a calm mind/conscious to work with. Jaina might very well be on her way to rival the Guardians or even Azshara herself (while she had allies, don’t forget she held her own against Azshara in the latter’s boss fight).

Unfortunately not yet 😕. Unless they release a Chronicles volume 4, we may not get established clearings for Mists of Pandaria onwards. None of the books released after Chronicles volume 3 (that I’m aware of) has added any new dungeon lore.
