Chapter 391: The Story Behind Sindore (Part II)
It was not the elves who chose to join the tribe, but Sylvanas forced the elves under his protection into the tribe camp in order to expand his voice in the upper echelons of the tribe.
At this time in history, the elven prince Kael'thas, with the help of Illidan's Naga legions, escaped from the prison of the sewers of Dalaran with his army, and traveled to the Outlands to find a solution to his people's demonic addiction. He took with him two of Silvermoon City's three most elite legions.
Legion of the Sunrage, Legion of the Eclipse.
As two of the three most powerful legions in the Elven Kingdom, they can be said to have achieved great success in the Outlands, and in the years that followed, they extended countless powerful and famous branch forces.
But with these armies gone, the elves inevitably fell into decline. Although the remaining Morning Strike Legion is one of the three major legions, they are the Guards Legion of the Sunchaser Royal Family, and only accept the direct leadership of the Imperial Family. This is equivalent to the surveillance force that Kael'thas left behind in Quel'Thalas.
The Elven King was left with only the Far Wanderer Ranger Troop, and some local Ranger troops, and that's it.
Therefore, after Kael'thas left with his army, the elven kingdom of Not, Quel'Thalas, became restrained in the face of the undead wreaking havoc on the land and the forest trolls who fought in the autumn wind from time to time, and they also had to replenish the troops of Prince Kael'thas from time to time.
And in the southernmost part of Quel'Salas, the border city of Dysom on the border with the human kingdom of Eastern Lordaeron. This massive city, also overrun by the former member of the Silvermoon Council, Magister Darkan Drahir, has become the base camp for the Scourge in their assault on Quel'Thalas.
The former Magister, who was fascinated by the power of dark magic (necromance), took refuge in Arthas when he led an army of the undead to attack Quel'Thalas. He led his army to break through the runic barrier that the elves used to protect against attacks, causing a series of tragedies to follow.
Until he was killed, Darkan De Hehir controlled all the Scourge undead in the southern part of Quel'Salas, fighting all the living, even the trolls of the Amani Empire.
They have eaten away at vast tracts of land south of Quel'Thalas, with only a handful of Far Wanderer Ranger surviving on a few strongholds and temples.
For the sake of Quel'Salas, and for the benefit of the Sunseeker family. When Sylvanas arrives in Silvermoon to help the elves resist the southern undead invasion, Lotherma readily complies. Later, Sylvanas helped the elves kill Darkan.
So when Sylvanas proposed to introduce the blood elves to join the tribe, Lotharma had no choice but to join the tribe, although she disagreed. If they do not join, the Forsaken will completely withdraw their forces from Quel'Thalas, and will not defend the elves against the undead army from the south. Moreover, Lotherma contacted Kael'thas himself in the far away lands through the Magister, and the prince's attitude was cold.
Of course, some of the above has happened, some of it has not. There was a lot more room left for Locke.
The elves of Quel'Thalas, who have been allies of humanity since ancient times.
After Arthas killed his father Terenus, led an army of the undead to break through the elves' city of Silvermoon, and killed the elven king to pollute the sunwell. Kael'thas, who was far away in Dalaran, hurried back after hearing the news, and cleaned up the mess with a lot of anger.
The first thing he did was to bring his men to Lordaeron to avenge his people and father, and to keep the covenant.
At this point, the friendship between humans and elves could have continued.
It was a pity that it was destroyed by the Great Humanist, Generalissimo Gatheris, the remnants of Lordaeron's army.
Of course, this is not the crux of the problem, combined with what he knew in his previous life, Locke knew that inside the elves, it was actually vaguely divided into three factions.
The left believes that the elves should follow the old covenant and continue to fulfill the thousand-year-old covenant. This faction, historically famous, is led by the High Elves led by Winlessa Windranger and Esath Sunsnatcher. These two men, Winlesa used to be the Ranger General of Quel'Thalas. Isaas, on the other hand, was a member of the Council of Six in Dalaran.
The middle faction is more practical. Everything is centered on Sindore's survival. Regent of the Elves, Lotherma Theron. With the safety of the entire kingdom on her shoulders, all the decisions made by Lotherma were for the sake of the elven race. His good friend and subordinate, the current Ranger General Haduron Mingyi, has always been his supporter, unconditionally supporting all his decisions.
This also includes the future leader of the Blood Knights, Countess Liadrin, everything they did was for the elves of the country.
The right believes that you should not trust any human being, they think that human beings have caused them too much trouble, and they will only treat you well when they ask for something.
This faction is led by the Archmage Romans, who no longer trust any humans since the humans imprisoned their prince Kael'thas. Any possible interaction with humans will make them hate you.
Among these three factions, the number of leftists is not very large, however, their status is in the middle and upper echelons of the elven kingdom. For example, Ranger Lord Ranger Lance Hawksbill of the Elven South, High Priest Aurora Celestial Caller, etc. They are not averse to associating with humans, believing that the Covenant is indesecrated, and that only two races can defeat the Scourge Legion if they huddle together for warmth.
The centrists are led by Lotherma, who are at the top of the elves and do not have a clear argument, as long as they are helpful to the elves, they can consider it.
In contrast, the power of the right faction is relatively strong, except for the archmage Romans and his mages, most of the unwitting elven civilians do not have much affection for humans.
It can be said that if Locke wants to break the elves to the side of the alliance, it is not difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. These three factions will lead the future development of the blood elves, which requires them to choose a good direction.
As for their prince, Kael'thas Sunstrider, Locke sighed, not having to think about and feel his thoughts at all.
Shaking his head, Locke unconsciously looked at Nonris and Landra who were busy with green in front of him, and his mind drifted to the side.
A prince who is bent on finding a way out for his own race and his own people, but finally embarks on a path opposite to his own people. This has to be said to be a real irony, almost like Alsace.
Could it be that the world is full of malice towards the prince? Or is it? The more powerful the person, the more difficult it is for his ** to satisfy? The more you will be attracted to the powerful evil?
"Blue, yes! Blue. ”
Locke's eyes cleared, and he looked up at the place where the sound had come from, where Norris was holding an evening gown sewn from silk, gesturing at Randra's body as he said affirmatively.
"You're best suited to blue, not the red of your magister's robes."
