It has been nearly 10 years since the alliance actually split.
For long-lived species, 10 years is nothing, but in a community of short-lived species like humans, 10 years is enough for a lot of things to happen.
The first-generation alliance was able to put aside disputes and unite in order to jointly fight against the orc tribe, a powerful foreign enemy.
Calia also used a similar method, using the Burning Legion, which was about to launch another invasion, as an imaginary enemy, and called on the kings of the original alliance members to gather in the Royal City of Lordaeron to discuss countermeasures.
I have to say, this trick is very effective.
Except for Dalaran, which has always been in the habit of collecting knowledge, human countries actually lack sufficient knowledge of the Burning Legion.
There is nothing they can do about it. After all, the real rise of human civilization has only been around 3,000 years ago, and the war that happened 10,000 years ago is too far away for them.
Calia used a trick. She connected the Burning Legion with the orc tribe that had caused serious harm to the countries in the Eastern Continent, and bluntly pointed out that the Burning Legion was the real mastermind behind the orc invasion.
The ancient war was too far away, but the First and Second Orc Wars were history that many human kings had witnessed with their own eyes.
The Kingdom of Stormwind, which is alone in the south, is closest to the Dark Portal. King Varian Wrynn of the Kingdom of Stormwind is one of the most active leaders in rebuilding the alliance.
Although Varian was a little regretful that he could not "inherit" the leadership of the Alliance from Lordaeron, now is not the time to consider this issue.
Once the Dark Portal opens again, the Kingdom of Stormwind will be the first to face the impact of the Burning Legion, and they urgently need all kinds of assistance from the Northern Kingdom.
Under Varian's deliberate efforts over the years, the Stormwind Kingdom's relationship with Khaz Modan and Gnomeregan has grown closer and closer.
Magni and the great craftsman Gelbin Mekkatorque also expressed their approval, and Falstad Wildhammer naturally voted in favor after them.
What surprised Varian was that his positive stance also won the support of an unexpected race.
Dark iron dwarves.
The three tribes of dwarves have sent diplomatic envoys many times in the past six months to form trilateral talks.
The grumpy dwarves sprayed spit at the meeting and fought fiercely for the interests of their respective groups.
Given the ambiguous attitude of the Wildhammer dwarves, the main protagonists in this war of words have always been the Bronzebeard dwarves and the Dark Iron dwarves.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Queen Moira Thaurissan, who represented the Dark Iron dwarves, argued hard.
She pointed in the face of her second uncle Muradin, who represented the Bronzebeard clan, and scolded the Bronzebeard clan for betraying the King of the Mountains, Anvilmar's final decision, usurping the throne without authorization, and ostracizing the Wildhammer and Dark Iron clans to monopolize the land that should be ruled by the three clans.
Ironforge and the Kingdom of Khaz Modan.
One thing to say is that Madoran Bronzebeard was not honest enough in this matter.
Everyone can see that the descendants of the Mountain King do not inherit the ambitions and abilities of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan.
But why don't you try to act? Even if you just support a puppet, you'll look better, right?
The straight-tempered Madoran Bronzebeard was not the case. After winning the War of the Three Hammers, he was so satisfied that he immediately deposed the heir designated by the Mountain King Mostim Anvilmar from the throne, and he proudly
Instead.
At this point, Prince Bronzebeard was officially crowned King Bronzebeard, seemingly inheriting the throne of Khaz Modan, but in fact it also left many hidden dangers.
Moira showed no mercy when facing the family that raised her. She invited the descendants of Anvilmar to accuse the Bronzebeard clan of usurping the throne, which made Muradin, who always prided himself on being shameless, feel a little embarrassed.
Can't hang up.
Seeing the change in the direction of the wind, Falstad Wildhammer slowly stood up and expressed his position, echoing the views of the descendants of the Mountain King and the Dark Iron Clan, believing that the Bronzebeard Clan did indeed do something wrong in this matter.
Seeing that her second uncle Muradin, who had always been aggressive towards others, was speechless, Moira took advantage of the victory on the spot and loudly proposed to rebuild the Council of the Three Hammers, and the three major clans once again respected the descendants of the King of the Mountain as their kings.
Of course, everyone present at the meeting knew very well that the so-called respect for the descendants of the King of the Mountain was just a pretense.
The Anvilmar clan has been far away from the political center of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan for a long time. They have long been raised as useless by the Bronzebeard clan. They have no ability to rule the kingdom.
If the Three Hammers Council is re-established, it will still be the three major dwarf clans that make the final decision on national policies, but instead of being decided by the Bronzebeard clan in the past, the three clans will discuss and decide together.
Sharlayan had given Moira some extra lessons beforehand. He used Quel'Thalas as a clear negative example and told Moira in detail about the inefficiency of the pure parliamentary system.
Parliament can exist, but it must not allow its members to have equal voting rights in deciding the direction of the country. It must have a leader.
Just like the new parliamentary system of the Dark Sky Republic, it seems to be a parliament where members discuss and decide national policies. In fact, the decision is mainly made by Speaker Malfurion, with other members assisting from the side.
Moira also knew in her heart that it was impossible to bring down the Bronzebeard clan, which had effectively ruled the kingdom of Khaz Modan for more than 200 years, all at once.
If she is determined to make this suggestion, I am afraid that in the end the two clans will have to continue fighting and fall into a long tug of war, which is not in the interests of the Black Iron clan.
Therefore, when Moira proposed that the Bronzebeard Clan be the leading party in the Council of Three Hammers, with the Wildhammer Clan and the Dark Iron Clan assisting from the side, Muradin, who was originally dark-faced, could not conceal his astonishment.
This is another use of the classic eclectic theory mentioned by Danmaku.
"If you say that this house is too dark and need to open a window, people will definitely not allow it. But if you say that you want to remove the roof, they will be willing to open the window." - Lu·I said everything·Xun
Long before the three clans officially met, Magni and Muradin had guessed in advance that the Dark Iron clan must want to kick the Bronzebeard clan from the supreme power seat of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan and replace it themselves.
However, Brian, who knew that his niece often acted out of common sense, had different opinions on this. At that time, he predicted that Moira might make more surprising but easy-to-accept requests.
Muradin couldn't help but recall the shameless expression on Brian's face when he said this, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "You don't play according to common sense... That boy Brian really got it right."
.'
Although Falstad, who attended the meeting in person, was a little surprised that the Dark Iron Clan's requirements were unexpectedly low, this situation was a win-win situation for the Wildhammer Clan, which had a good relationship with the Bronzebeard Clan.
With Falstad's strong support, Muradin, who was undecided, asked for a temporary adjournment.
After long discussions with Magni and Bryan, and lengthy bargaining with the Wildhammer and Dark Iron clans, he finally came to a compromise conclusion that would satisfy all three clans, leaving only the final touch.
The endless tug-of-war with the Dark Iron Clan made the Bronzebeard Clan exhausted physically and mentally. Muradin, who was gradually growing war-weary, no longer wanted to continue fighting this dwarven civil war. The only people who were hurt by the fighting were the dwarves themselves.
It was at this time that the Kingdom of Lordaeron made it clear that it wanted to rebuild the alliance that had been divided for many years, and called on all countries in the Eastern Continent to actively participate in jointly responding to the coming invasion of the Burning Legion.
Taking this as an opportunity, the three dwarf tribes decided to participate in this grand event attended by heads of state from various countries from their own independent standpoints.
If human countries that have serious differences with each other can put aside their disputes for the sake of a common foreign enemy, why can't the dwarves do the same?
This alliance reconstruction conference also placed high hopes on the three dwarf tribes. The three dwarf tribes who have basically reached a consensus all hope that the Eastern Kingdom can re-form into a cohesive large-scale international organization.
After all, it’s easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
After the three tribes of dwarves and gnomes expressed their opinions one after another, the Sun King of Quel'Thalas - Kael'thas Sunstrider, who is also an alien race, also took the opportunity to agree. Kul Tiras, who has always had a good relationship with Quel'Thalas
and Dalaran followed.
Stromgard, which has benefited a lot from mutual trade recently, has finally taken the first step on the road to recovery. The Regency Council does not want to interrupt the trade with Lordaeron again because of this incident.
After some consideration, the Speaker, representing the Regency Council, voted in favor.
After King Inseden of Alterac also expressed his agreement, the final blow was handed over to the old stubborn of Gilneas, Genn Greymane.
Since Genn's father's generation, the Greymane family has always pursued isolationism.
For this reason, after Genn broke up with Lordaeron, he spent a huge sum of money to build the Greymane Wall, completely separating Silverpine Forest from the core territory of Gilneas.
In the original history, Gilneas was able to survive the natural disasters and turmoil that spread across the continent precisely because of this majestic border gate.
But at what cost?
The never-ending civil strife and the ensuing scourge of werewolves.
The territory of the Kingdom of Gilneas is not just a small core centered on the royal city, Silverpine Forest is also their inherent territory.
For example, the Crowley family, which is famous in Gilneas, has its territory in Silverpine Forest.
King Jean's actions are equivalent to directly abolishing the territory of these nobles and abolishing the foundation that they have worked hard for many years.
In Azeroth, which is still under a feudal aristocracy, it would be strange if this approach did not cause civil strife.
When the Werewolf Rebellion occurred in the original history, Gilneas was so distressed that it was unable to find anyone for help due to its extreme isolation from the outside world.
Jean could only watch helplessly as his country was turned upside down by the werewolves, and the Banshee King who followed later took advantage of the chaos to break through the defenses. Even the prince Liam, whom Jean was most proud of, died heroically to protect him.
After losing almost everything, Genn and the remnants of Gilneas were lucky enough to be rescued by the night elves who happened to be looking for the Scythe of the Moon, and they began their years of exile.
Let’s talk about the official history of this timeline.
Since the completion of the Greymane Wall, Genn has been annoyed by the wave of rebellions launched by the Silverpine Forest nobles headed by Crowley.
Prince Liam also repeatedly persuaded him to give up his outdated isolationism and re-embrace this ever-changing world.
I don’t know if Gene figured it out on his own, or if Prince Liam’s unremitting efforts achieved results.
As other kingdoms waited anxiously, King Zeon finally did not go against the trend and objected, sighing and voting in favor.
At this point, all the major kingdoms in the Eastern Continent unanimously passed the resolution to rebuild the alliance. As the host, the Kingdom of Lordaeron will naturally continue to host the alliance as the host. The emotional Queen Calia announced...
After nearly 10 years, the international cooperation organization "Alliance" has officially rebuilt the former Alliance meeting hall in the King's City of Lordaeron.
