Human history (from Chapter Beginning after the end of the Second War)
The end of the Second War
The devastating war with the orcs left only turmoil and chaos to the Alliance of Lordaeron. The bloodthirsty orcs, led by the powerful warchief Orgrim Doomhammer, not only destroyed the dwarf-dominated continent of Khaz Modan, but also turned many of the interior provinces of Lordaeron into a scorched earth. The cruel orcs even succeeded in destroying the distant elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas before their rampage was finally stopped. The Alliance armies, led by Ser Anduin Lothar, Lightbringer Uther, and Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, moved south and pushed the orcs back to the destroyed Azeroth--The First A kingdom that was crushed by cruel orcs.
The Alliance army under the leadership of Lothar plans to drive the Doomhammer clan out of Lordaeron and force them to retreat to the orc-controlled continent of Azeroth. Lothar's army surrounded the orcs' volcanic castle in Blackrock Spire and launched a siege. Fighting against the trapped beast, Doomhammer and his lieutenants launched a brave charge and encountered Lothar's paladins on the Flame Steppe. Doomhammer and Lothar fought an earth-shattering battle until both great warriors were exhausted. Although Doomhammer was lucky enough to kill Lothar, the hero's death did not have the effect the Chief expected.
Turalyon, Lothar's most trusted lieutenant, picked up the shield stained with Lothar's blood, organized the grieving brothers, and launched a successful counterattack. Driven by rage, the most ill-equipped troops in Lordaeron and Azeroth destroyed Doomhammer's orcish forces. The remaining orcs had no choice but to flee towards their last stronghold - the Dark Portal.
Turalyon and his warriors pursued the fleeing orcs through the rotten Swamp of Sorrow to the location of the Dark Portal. There, at the foot of the great Dark Portal, the splintered orc hordes and the mighty Alliance armies fought the bloodiest and final battle of the Second War. With a huge disparity in strength, the orcs, driven mad by their bloodthirsty nature, were unable to stop the furious Alliance army. Doomhammer was captured and escorted back to Lordaeron. There, his fractured clan was imprisoned behind the walls of the asylum.
Beyond the Dark Portal
A few months after the completion of Nethergarde Fortress, the energy of the Dark Portal gathered again, reopening the teleportation to Draenor. Door. The remaining orc clans once again poured into Azeroth under the leadership of the elderly shaman Ner'zhul. The orcs plan to find several ancient artifacts that can enhance Ner'zhul's magical power and then open several portals to Draenor, in order to leave their cursed red world forever.
After confirming that Ner'zhul was plotting a new war, King Terenas of Lordaeron sent his army to Draenor to end the orc problem once and for all. Led by Generals Khadgar and Turalyon, the Alliance army launched a fierce battle with the orcs in the red world. But even with the help of the elven ranger Erinra, the dwarf Kurdran, and the fierce warrior Danas, Khadgar could not stop Ner'zhul from opening the portal.
When the portal began to absorb energy, a terrible magical storm destroyed this desolate world. Ner'zhul and his most loyal minions attempt to escape the world through a portal, while Khadgar fights to the death to return to Azeroth. After realizing that they might be trapped in this dying world forever, Khadgar and his companions selflessly destroyed the Dark Portal to ensure that Azeroth would not suffer the consequences of Draenor's destruction. Hugely destructive impact. The heroes finally succeeded in destroying the portal and saving Azeroth. However, it is still unknown whether they escaped from Draenor.
The Battle of Grim Batol
After the destruction of the second Dark Portal, the Alliance succeeded in imprisoning most of the orc clans still remaining on Azeroth. got up. Shortly after the end of the Second War, tightly monitored prison camps for orcs were established in various places.
Although the Warsong clan, which had recently arrived in Lordaeron, escaped human pursuit, in fact only one clan - the Dragonmaw clan - could still pose a threat to the stability and peace of the Alliance.
Led by the cunning wizard Nekros, the Dragonmaw Clan conquered and controlled large tracts of territory north of Khaz Modan with a handful of infantry and dragons. Nekros used a powerful artifact called the Demon's Soul to control Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen, and her children. In the fortress of Grim Batol that the dwarves had built long ago, Nekros built a massive army and prepared to reunite the scattered orc tribes. But the intervention of the brave human mage Luo Ning shattered his dream. With the help of the dwarven resistance, Rhonin and his companions succeeded in destroying the Demon Soul and freeing Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen, from the clutches of the orcs. The vengeful red dragon severely damaged the Dragonmaw clan, and the last remaining force of the orcs in the world was destroyed.
After the death of Nekros, the orcs imprisoned in the prison camp became lifeless, losing the passion and desire to fight, everything they should have as a warrior, and their great civilization. the last vestiges of.
Split of the Alliance
After the defeat of the orcs, the leaders of the Alliance countries began to argue over territorial and political issues. King Terenas of the Kingdom of Lordaeron estimated that the fragile treaties they had signed during the hard times would no longer be able to survive. He convinced the leaders of the Alliance to use some money and labor to rebuild what had been destroyed by the orcs. Stormwind Keep. These costs, along with the high cost of maintaining orc prison camps, led many leaders - especially King Genn Greyhair of the Kingdom of Gilneas - to feel that it would be better for them to withdraw from the Alliance so that they would not have to bear these expenses.
To make matters worse, the high elves of Silvermoon City suddenly announced the abolition of all treaties with the Alliance on the grounds that humans were unfavorable in combat, which led to large areas of their forests being burned down in the second war. Although Terenas subtly reminded them that the elves would now have nothing if not for the hundreds of brave humans who had sacrificed their lives to defend Quel'Thalas, the elves were adamant about parting ways with the Alliance. After the elves withdrew from the alliance, the Kingdom of Gilneas and the Kingdom of Stromgard also took the opportunity to withdraw from the alliance.
Although the alliance was divided, King Terenas still tried his best to maintain alliances with other countries. King Proudmoore, the admiral of the Kingdom of Kol'dyras, and Varian Wren, the young king of Azeroth, are both staunch supporters of the Alliance. Thor also expressed his firm support for Terenas and the Alliance. Perhaps most thankfully, the powerful dwarf king Magni Bronzebeard swore that the dwarves would never forget the Alliance's outstanding contribution to the liberation of Khaz Modan.
A new generation
Many years have passed, and the continent of Lordaeron has never experienced war again. Terenas and Archbishop Aronthos Faol worked tirelessly to rebuild the Kingdom of Lordaeron and aid the other nations of the Alliance. The southern kingdom of Azeroth quickly revived under the wise leadership of King Reen and had a powerful army. The Supreme Commander of the Paladins, Uther the Lightbringer, is dedicated to handling civil disputes and suppressing half-human rebellions to maintain peace in Lordaeron. Admiral Proudmoore's fleet patrolled the trade routes, fighting pirates and marauders and maintaining order at sea. But public attention was drawn to a new generation of heroes.
King Terenas' only son Arthas grew into a strong, confident young man. The young prince was trained as a warrior by Muradin Bronzebeard, the younger brother of the dwarf king Magni Bronzebeard, and although he was still young, he was already recognized as the strongest warrior in Lordaeron. . At the age of 19, Arthas joined the Knights of the Silver Hand led by Uther. The amiable Uther was loved by the people as the brother of King Terenas, and he regarded Arthas as his own. He is loved like a nephew. Although Arthas was somewhat arrogant and willful, no one could deny his bravery and strength. When Zulaman's troll commandos attacked the outlying settlements of Quel'Thalas, Arthas quickly attacked and stopped their rampage.
The public in Lordaeron was more interested in his personal life than his heroism. Legends of Prince Arthas and Princess Jaina Proudmoore's secret developing love kept the public entertained.
Jaina is the youngest daughter of Admiral Proudmoore and the childhood sweetheart of Arthas. This beautiful and shy girl is also the star apprentice of the Kirin Tor, the mage council of Dalaran. Under the training of the Archmage Antonidas, Jaina showed amazing magical talent. Although Arthas and Jaina both have their own responsibilities, they still maintain a close relationship. As King Terenas grew older and his health deteriorated, the people of Lordaeron were eager to see their beloved prince form his own family and continue the royal line.
Due to the excessive public attention, Arthas and Jaina had to try to conceal their whereabouts. But Jaina knew their romance could not last. She had studied magic since she was a child, knowing that what she really desired was knowledge, not the prison of royalty. To the dismay of the people, the two lovers eventually reluctantly broke up and refocused on their respective careers.
The shadow envelopes the world again
After nearly 13 years of peace, rumors of war have begun to spread again. The king's spies reported that a young orc chief summoned the remaining orc clans and organized an elite force. His purpose was to destroy prisoner camps everywhere and liberate the imprisoned orcs. The new orc horde attacked the northern city of Stratholme in order to rescue an imprisoned warrior. They even captured the fortress of Durnhold, which controlled the operation of all prisoner asylums, and killed its commander. King Terenas sent Uther and his paladins to suppress the orc rebellion, but the cunning orcs disappeared. The new chieftain seemed to be a commanding genius, and his guerrilla tactics wore Uther to his knees.
While troubled by the orc problem, King Terenas heard another piece of bad news. Rumor has it that a large number of followers of the "Death Cult" have appeared in the northern provinces. This cult seduced the exiled people of Lordaeron, who had lost all faith in life, promising them eternal life." After many years of peace, King Terenas knew that this was only a harbinger of trouble. Order He is gratified that the Kingdom of Lordaeron has experienced countless disasters and is still standing, and the warriors who defend this kingdom will eventually see it usher in a new dawn...
Orc History (from Chapter 2) Beginning after the end of the Second War)
Gul'dan and Betrayal
In the final days of the Second War, when the orcs' victory over the humans was almost within reach, Azer A fierce conflict breaks out between the two most powerful orcs in Rath. The evil wizard Gul'dan - the leader of the Shadow Council who secretly controls the fate of the orcs - leads a number of rebellious clans, and the powerful Horde Chieftain Org. As Doomhammer prepared to launch his final, fatal assault on Lordaeron, the capital of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Gul'dan and his rebel clans abandoned their camp and took to their ships. Escaped from the sea. Because of this defection, Doomhammer lost nearly half of his elite troops. He was forced to retreat in a hurry, missing his chance to conquer the entire alliance.
Desperately thirsty for power. Obsessed with gaining godhood, Gul'dan desperately sent a search party to find the Tomb of Sargeras buried under the sea - where he believed the secret of ultimate power was hidden. In order to gain power, Gul'dan would not hesitate to sacrifice those who followed him. All the orcs were sold to the Burning Legion as slaves, and he never thought about dealing with Doomhammer's duties. With the support of the Stormrage Clan and the Nighthammer Clan, Gul'dan successfully dug up the Tomb of Sargeras from the bottom of the sea. But when he opened the door to the ancient dungeon, Gul'dan found only mad demons waiting for him.
In order to punish the treachery of those unsteady orcs, Doomhammer sent his troops to kill Ancient. Gul'dan paid the price for his greed, and the renegade clan was soon destroyed after the death of their leader. Although the rebellion was suppressed, Gul'dan's betrayal gave the Alliance not only hope, but also time to regroup... and revenge. .
Sir Lothar saw the divisions within the orc tribe, and lost no time in gathering his last troops, and forced the orcs to the south, retreating to his ravaged homeland-Azera. There, the Alliance army trapped the retreating orcs in Blackrock Spire Fortress.
Although Lothar died honorably in the battle to attack Blackrock Tower, his lieutenant Turalyon summoned the Alliance army at the critical moment and drove the orcs into the bottomless Swamp of Melancholy.
Turalyon's forces successfully destroyed the Dark Portal and cut off the access of Draenor orc reinforcements. After a fierce battle, the orcs finally fell in front of the powerful Alliance army.
The fragmented orc clan was quickly driven into a prison camp under tight security. Although it appears that the orcs have been completely defeated, some still doubt that this peace will last. Medivh's former apprentice Khadgar convinced the Alliance's top brass to establish Nethergarde Fortress to monitor the ruins of the Dark Portal and ensure there were no new invasions from Draenor.
Ner'zhul and the Shadow Clan
When the flames of the Second War died down, the Alliance took aggressive measures to solve the orc problem. A series of prison camps were established in southern Lordaeron to house captured orcs. Guarded by paladins and seasoned veterans, the asylum was a huge success. While the captured orcs were restless for a fight, everything seemed peaceful and orderly under the control of Durnhold Fortress, the ancient prison castle.
However, in the hellish Draenor, a new orc army is ready to bloodbath the unsuspecting Human Alliance. The elder shaman Ner'zhul - Gul'dan's former advisor - has rallied the few remaining orc clans of Draenor under his dark banner. He plans to open several new portals and send the orc hordes away. Enter a new world. To power his new portal, Ner'zhul needed several artifacts from Azeroth. To obtain them, Ner'zhul reopened the Dark Portal and sent out his forces.
The new orc tribes, led by experienced chieftains such as Grom Hellscream of the Warsong Clan and Kilrogg Deatheye of the Bleeding Hollow Clan, ordered the Alliance's defense forces Terrified, it swept the country. Under Ner'zhul's guidance, the orcs quickly found the artifacts they needed and retreated to Draenor.
After confirming that the orcs were planning to re-invade Azeroth, King Terenas of the Kingdom of Lordaeron summoned his most trusted lieutenants. He ordered General Turalyon and the wizard Khadgar to lead an expedition through the Dark Portal and put an end to the orc problem once and for all. Turalyon and Khadgar's forces marched into Draenor and fought frequently against Ner'zhul's clan on the desolate Hellfire Peninsula. Although no one can gain a foothold, there is no doubt that no one can stop Ner'zhul from completing his evil plan.
Ner'zhul succeeded in opening his portal to another world, but he did not foresee the terrible price he would pay. The portal's immense power began to tear Draenor apart, and Draenor began to crumble as Turalyon's forces still fought to return to Azeroth. Grom Hellscream and Kilrogg Deatheye realized that Ner'zhul's mad plan would destroy their people, so they gathered the remaining orcs and fled to Azeroth. As the two chieftains fought to fight their way through the siege of humans, the Dark Portal exploded behind them. For them, and all the orcs who stayed in Azeroth, they will never be able to return to their homeland...
Ner'zhul and his Shadowmoon clan passed through the newly opened portal, At the same time, huge energy tore the continent of Draenor into pieces. The burning ocean swallowed up the fragmented land, and this cursed continent finally sank to the bottom of the sea in a huge explosion.
Age of Dragons
While Grom Hellscream and his Warsong clan escaped capture, Deatheye and his Bleeding Circle clan were imprisoned in Llor. In the prison camp in Danlon. Although they staged a disastrous uprising, the asylum's guards quickly wrested control from the orcs. Still, unnoticed by Alliance scouts, a powerful orc force still controls the wilds north of Khaz Modan. The Dragonmaw clan, led by the shameless wizard Nekros, still controls the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza and her children using a powerful artifact called the Demon's Soul. In the fortress of Grim Batol built by the dwarves long ago, Nekros built a huge army with red dragons and prepared to reunite the scattered orc tribes and continue their conquest of Azeroth.
But a small group of dwarven resistance warriors, led by the human mage Rhonin, succeeded in destroying the Demon Soul and liberating the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza from the clutches of the orcs. The angry red dragon severely wounded the Dragonmaw clan, and the surviving orcs were thrown into a prison camp. The defeat of the Dragonmaw clan marked the end of the orc tribe - and the complete end of the orcs' violent bloodlust.
Slumber and Containment
A few months later, more orc prisoners were put into the asylum. As shelters everywhere became overcrowded, the Alliance was forced to build new shelters on the plains south of the Alterrac Mountains. In order to maintain and maintain the growing number of asylums, King Terenas imposed new taxes on the nations of the Alliance. This tax has intensified conflicts among countries and led to divisions among alliance leaders. It seems that the treaty they signed at a difficult time will be torn up at any time.
Amid the political unrest, guards at many asylums began to notice puzzling changes in their orc prisoners. The orcs' attempts to escape from prison and even fights among themselves were greatly reduced, and the orcs became increasingly cold and lethargic. Although it's hard to believe, the orcs - once the most aggressive race on Azeroth - are beginning to lose their desire to fight. Alliance leaders were baffled by this strange phenomenon and continued to imprison the rapidly weakening orcs.
Some believe that a strange disease that affects only orcs has caused the orcs to become this lethargic. But Antonidas, the archmage of Dalaran, came up with another hypothesis: After studying all the orc history he could learn, Antonidas discovered that the orcs had been influenced by demonic power (or wizard magic) for hundreds of years. . He believed that the orcs had been seduced and corrupted by demonic power long before the first invasion of Azeroth. Apparently, the demons drained the orcs of their blood, and in exchange, they gave the orcs super strength, stamina, and aggression.
Antonidas believed that the orcs' unnatural lethargic behavior was not a disease but the fading of the sorcerer's magic that had long made them fearsome and bloodthirsty. Although the symptoms were obvious, Antonidas was unable to find a cure for the orc's current condition. Many of his apprentice wizards and some prominent Alliance leaders consider finding a cure for the orcs a risky proposition. After carefully considering the orcs' current mysterious condition, Antonidas decided that the only way to cure the orcs was through spiritual...
Thr's Story
In the First War , a cunning human civil servant named Edras Blackmoore discovers an abandoned orc baby in the wild. Blackmoore named the orc infant Thrall and brought him back to the prison fortress of Durnhold. There, Blackmoore raised the young orcs as slaves and gladiators. Blackmoore wanted to train Thrall into a cultured leader, let him take over the orc tribe, and rule the world with the orc army.
Nineteen years later, Thrall grew into a strong and responsive orc. His young heart knew that he could not remain a slave for the rest of his life, and as he grew up in the castle, many changes took place in the outside world. He knew that his people, the orcs - compatriots he had never met - had been defeated by humans and imprisoned in prison camps. The orc leader Doomhammer escaped from Lordaeron and disappeared. He knew that only one exiled clan was still operating in secret, trying to avoid the Alliance's eyes.
The knowledgeable but inexperienced Thrall decided to escape from Blackmoore's stronghold and search for his people. During his journey, Thrall visited internment camps and found that his once-mighty people had grown lazy and weak, lacking the proud warriors he had hoped to find. Thrall continues to search for the last orc chieftain, Grom Hellscream. Although humans are constantly hunting Grom, he still maintains the orcs' strong desire to fight. With the help of his Warsong clan, Hellscream fights tirelessly to free his oppressed people. Unfortunately, Hellscream would never find a way to free them. Thrall was moved by Hellscream's determination and determined to regain the orcs' fighting tradition.
In search of his own clan, Thrall traveled north, hoping to encounter the legendary Frostwolf clan. Thrall learned that Gul'dan had exiled the Frostwolf clan early in the First War. He also learned that he was the son and heir of the orc hero Durotan, the chieftain of the Frostwolf clan who was murdered twenty years ago.
Under the protection of the respected shaman Drexar, Thrall learned the ancient shamanic culture forgotten by the orcs under Gul'dan's evil rule. Over time, Thrall became a powerful shaman and chieftain of the Frostwolf clan. With the help of the elements, Thrall decided to free the imprisoned clan and free them from the temptations of the devil.
During his journey, Thrall met Orgrim Doomhammer, the chieftain who had lived in seclusion for many years. As Thrall's father's best friend, Doomhammer decided to follow the young and promising Thrall and help him free the imprisoned clans. With the help of many experienced warchiefs, Thrall eventually succeeded in re-energizing the orcs and establishing a new spiritual faith for his people.
As a symbol of the new life for his people, Thrall returned to Blackmoore's Castle Durnhold and liberated the orcs in the asylum. However, Doomhammer was killed fighting to liberate an asylum. Thrall took up Doomhammer's legendary war hammer, donned his black plate armor, and became the new leader of the orcs. Over the next few months, Thrall's Horde wiped out many of the interns and forced the Alliance to deal with his shrewd tactics. Encouraged by his best friend and advisor Grom Hellscream, Thrall fights to ensure that no orc is ever enslaved again - either human or demonic.
Night Elf History
Kaldorei and the Well of Eternity
Tens of thousands of years before the war broke out between humans and orcs, there was only one piece of the world Azeroth A huge landmass surrounded by endless oceans, this continent is called Kalimdor. Many different races and creatures survive on this land, fighting against the harsh natural environment. At the center of this dark continent is a lake filled with mysterious energy. This lake - which came to be known as the Well of Eternity - was the source of magic and natural energy for the entire world, drawing energy from the vast darkness beyond this world while releasing it into the world. Its energy provides nutrients for all kinds of creatures in the world.
I don’t know since when, a primitive tribe composed of nocturnal humanoids cautiously settled next to this charming lake. These wild, nomadic humanoids were captured by the Eternal. Attracted by the mysterious energy of the well, simple houses were built by the lake. Over time, the harmonious energy of the Well of Eternity exerted an influence on this strange tribe, making them strong, intelligent, and almost immortal. The name of this tribe is the Kaldorei, which means "sons of the stars." To celebrate the tribe's continued growth, they built tall buildings and temples around the Well of Eternity.
The Kaldorei - the race later known as the night elves - believed in the moon goddess Elune and believed that the goddess would sleep at the bottom of the Well of Eternity every day. Early night elf priests and prophets studied the Well of Eternity with extreme caution, seeking to understand its secrets and powers. As the night elf society gradually grew, they began to explore the unknown continent of Kalimdor and met many of their compatriots. The only thing that can stop them from exploring is the ancient and powerful dragon. Although these behemoths are usually reclusive creatures, they will also go to great lengths to guard mysterious places. The night elves believe that dragons are the protectors of the world, so it is best not to infringe on them and the secrets they guard.
The night elves' constant exploration led them to encounter many powerful creatures and become friends with them. One of them is the demigod Cenarius, the patron saint of the primeval forest. The great Cenarius was friendly to the curious night elves and spent many hours teaching them about the natural world. The Kaldorei have an established relationship with the vibrant forests and enjoy a harmonious balance of nature.
Long, long time later, the night elves' civilization made great progress in terms of territory and culture. Their temples, roads, and settlements are spread across Kalimdor. Azshara, the beautiful queen of the night elves, built a magnificent palace next to the Well of Eternity to house her favored servants. These servants, whom she calls the Quel'dorei (meaning "Highborne"), obey the Queen and consider themselves nobler than their lower-class compatriots. While Queen Azshara is loved by all her people, the Highborne are hated by many.
