"The Alliance of Lordaeron Following the opening of the Dark Portal, the nations
of Azeroth and Khaz Modan were conquered by the Horde. The refugees from
Azeroth, led by Lord Anduin Lothar, fled across the sea to Lordaeron. wow
honor There, Lothar convinced the leaders of the human nations, as well as
the dwarves of Ironforge, gnomes of Gnomeregan, and high elves of Quel'Thalas,
to join forces in the Alliance of Lordaeron. Under the leadership of King
Terenas Menethil II and Lord Lothar, the Alliance was victorious, pushing the
Horde back to the Dark Portal, and destroying the gateway to the orcs'
homeworld. Lothar fell in the assault on Blackrock Spire, and with the loss of
his political skill, rifts developed between the Alliance nations. The main
issue of dispute was a tax levied by King Terenas to finance the internment of
the orcs. Though Lordaeron attempted to retain its central role, several nations
pulled their support from the Alliance. The Scourge of Lordaeron Following years
of debate over the internment of the orcs, a plague appeared in the north of
Lordaeron. As it spread throughout the towns and cities of Lordaeron, one after
another fell to the Scourge: Andorhal, and Stratholme. Finally, with the
corruption of the heir to the throne of Lordaeron, Prince Arthas Menethil, the
capital city itself succumbed. In an ironic twist of fate, it was Lordaeron that
lay in ruins, with refugees streaming to Khaz Modan and Azeroth. Arthas briefly
assumed the title of King, and ruled as an agent of the Scourge, before the
eruption of a civil war between his forces, the remaining dreadlords, and the
free undead led by Sylvanas Windrunner. Windrunner's forces, the Forsaken,
achieved a victory over the dreadlords and Scourge, claiming the ruined former
capital of Lordaeron (the ""Ruins of Lordaeron""), under which they constructed
the Undercity.
" "Of the original cities and towns of Lordaeron, only Southshore and the townships of Hillsbrad Fields and Pyrewood Village remain under the control of humans loyal to the Alliance (even then, the residents of Pyrewood Village are not entirely human either). Two small high elven outposts can also be found in the Eastern Plaguelands and The Hinterlands. guild wars gold These elves have stayed committed to the Alliance, and are hostile to the Horde. The Forsaken exert control over the ruined capital city, Deathknell, Brill, Tarren Mill, and The Sepulcher. The majority of Lordaeron's former territory is now the Plaguelands. The cities of Stratholme and Andorhal are dominated by the Scourge forces. Pockets of resistance are held by the Scarlet Crusade, including Tyr's Hand and Hearthglen. The Argent Dawn also maintains a presence, primarily at Chillwind Camp and Light's Hope Chapel, but with a few agents at the Bulwark. Stromgarde The Kingdom of Stromgarde is a human nation in the Arathi Highlands, located on the site of the original capital of Arathor, Strom. During the Second War, Thoras Trollbane, Lord of Stromgarde, joined his kingdom with the Alliance of Lordaeron. The kingdom declined rapidly following the Third War, losing control of much of its territory and capital city. It is led by Prince Galen Trollbane. The city of Stromgarde was founded as Strom, then the home of the Arathi tribe of humans living in what were later to be known as the Eastern Kingdoms. cheap wow gold The city became the capital of the great empire of Arathor. Following the peak of that empire's power many of its citizens left to found other cities, including Dalaran, Lordaeron, and Stormwind. Many of these newer cities began to attract settlers at an astonishing rate, and it was only a matter of years before the once-powerful Arathi Empire was splintered into seven distinct human nations. Strom was no longer the center of the world, and it was during this time that its leaders changed its name to Stromgarde. Second and Third Wars By the time of the Second War, Stromgarde controlled the Arathi Highlands and the island-fortress of Tol Barad. It was quick to join the Alliance of Lordaeron under the leadership of King Terenas Menethil II, and was involved in the military effort to defeat the orcs and push them back to the Dark Portal. During the events of the Third War, Stromgarde managed to prevent the undead Scourge from ravaging through her lands. Despite this, the darkest hour of Stromgarde was yet to come. wow level up Lord Thoras Trollbane was assassinated under mysterious circumstances, and Stromgarde came under siege by both the Syndicate and the Boulderfist ogres. The two forces won several victories against the now weakened kingdom, and managed to occupy much of its terrain, including most of the capital city. " . |
