Once again, the continent of Azeroth entered a brief period of peace, with the major powers recuperating and only local skirmishes.

In the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms continent, the Great Lich Kel'thugad has shrunk the defenses of the Scourge of the Dead, firmly holding the Eastern and Western Plaguelands. Arthas, who had become one with the Lich King's soul, was now asleep, and the Great Lich began to wait for the right time and the awakening of his master.

The Scarlet Crusaders' lords of Dathohan had already invaded Stratholme and occupied a large part of the city, where they built a large number of fortifications and used it as a base to engage in a bloody tug-of-war with the city's natural disasters, fighting for street by street.

Lately, however, the Scarlet Crusaders had no idea what was going on, and they all shrank back in the city they occupied, and everyone covered their faces with hoods, as if they were hiding some secrets.

The Forsaken of the Tirisfal Glades continued their assault on the Scarlet Abbey, vowing not to give up until Renault was killed.

It is worth mentioning that the Forsaken accepted the invitation of the Horde a few days ago and officially joined the Clan, becoming an honorable member of the Clan along with the Bloodtop Troll Clan.

Queen Xi also pretended to have a little skirmish with the High Elves of Quel'Thalas. At the junction of the Hillsbrad Hills and the Hinterland region, there was a very small armed fight with the Hammer Dwarves, but the battle was entirely due to the conflict of interests between the two sides.

Eventually, the Hammer Dwarves retreated to Hinterland, abandoning their intention to expand into the Hillsbrad Hills. The Forsaken now formally took control of all of the former Lordaeron with the exception of the Eastern and Western Plaguelands, and began to march towards the Arathi Highlands.

The new tribe took these two new members very seriously, sending not only resident ambassadors, but also many officer mentoring regiments. The group, which consisted entirely of the older generation of orcs and minotaurs, quickly came to the territory of the Forsaken and the Blood-Crowned Trolls as military advisors.

The orcs have also established a medium-sized town in each of these two territories, one being Hammerfall Town in the Arathi Highlands, to assist the Forsaken in their control of the land, and to take advantage of the abundant resources of the Arathi Highlands.

In the Valley of Thorns, the new tribe has established a militarized fortress near the ruins of Zukunda, the stronghold of the Bloodtop Trolls, by the sea: Camp Gromgaard. Join the Bloodtop Trolls to deal with the threat of the Zurgrab Trolls and the Skullsplitter Trolls in the Wild.

The remnants of Fort Riptide in the Arathi Heights, now based in the Valley of Refuge, Prince Galen Thorbain also began to seek support from the Alliance. However, they only intend to be close allies with the Alliance, and are not willing to join the Alliance directly, losing the power to negotiate and wage war. More importantly, Fort Riptide is not sure if the Alliance is the next Lordaeron, the kind of great power ambition that wants to annex small countries and unify humanity, Riptide Castle can't afford it right now.

As for the Stormwind Kingdom, the Stormwind Kingdom is now in full swing.

Although King Varian has always adhered to and agreed with the idea of "creating an enemy for the alliance to hone if there is no enemy" put forward by Lord Divine Venerable, it seems that it is now a bit out of luck.

The Forsaken are sharpened in the north, and the Valley of Thorns is home to the blood-crowned trolls and military fortresses of the new horde in the south.

Although the territory of the Alliance is not threatened, the feeling of the enemy blocking their doorstep is still not much better.

So the Storm Kingdom and the alliance also began to exert their strength, except for the high elves of Quel'Salas who played tricks with the Forsaken in the north, this alliance and the tribe could see it, but the bosses on both sides were high elves, so they turned a blind eye and let them go.

In the Kingdom of Stormwind, the dwarves and gnomes began to strengthen the defenses of the northern and southern divisions. In the north, the allied forces of Arathi, mainly the dwarves of Ironforge, marched into the Arathi Heights to support the Refuge Valley in their fight against the Forsaken.

In the south, the Kingdom of Stormwind marched into battle with a large army marching into the Valley of Thorns, and the construction of a military fortress began at the junction of the Valley of Thorns and the Twilight Forest.

As for the goblins in Booty Bay ... Well, they wish that the two sides would fight, so that they would make a lot of war money. Booty Bay is an absolutely neutral city, located on the southernmost promontory of the Valley of Thorns. Adventurers and small groups of Alliance and Horde adventurers will pass by or at their leisure to spend money and vacation in Treasure Bay.

However, the confrontation in the Valley of Thorns is not so serious and tense, and the new tribe is fighting the Gulabash trolls and skull-splitting trolls of Zurgrab, and the alliance is laughing and watching.

The continent of Kalimdor is countless times more peaceful.

The Night Empire is busy purging the remnants of the demons in the Felwood Forest, the few demons that have been left over from the War of the Ancients, and are hiding in the forest to summon more of their own people, as well as a group of Satyr demons gathered here.

Elves and minotaur druids are busy purifying and improving the environment of the Desolate Lands, an area that has been ravaged by demons and evil powers, and it will take a long time to regain its greenery.

The new tribes are also expanding into the Thousand Needles Stone Forest and the Tanaris Desert, and the elves don't like these cruel lands, but the tribe doesn't care about them, insisting that as long as it's land, it has value.

The city of Theramore, located in the Dust Swamp, has also entered the normal world, and Gianna has chosen to be neutral after thinking twice, and has not joined any of the factions. However, because it is an absolute human city, Theramore still favors the alliance and does not welcome orcs to enter.

The new tribes didn't care about this, and with the help of the goblins, they also built a small town not far from the border between the Dust Swamp and the Barrens, which served as a base for the tribe to settle in this area.

Gianna hired her former Guardian, Egwen, who lived in seclusion deep in the Dust Swamp, as her personal advisor.

Egwene is also reclusive enough, she is not the kind of woman who likes to be quiet, but because her son Medivan's blow is too big for herself, so she was a little escapist for a while. And now that Medivan is free from Sargeras's control, the remaining divine curse on his body has been steadily removed with the help of the Eternal Night God Emperor, and he has slowly regained his youthful appearance.

So Egwen's mentality and mood began to gradually improve, and he happened to receive Gianna's personal invitation again, so after thinking about it, he agreed to go out of the mountain again and became Gianna's personal adviser, helping her deal with political affairs and pointing out various problems in magic.

Because Egwene is absolutely inclined to the alliance in terms of mentality, Theramore also began to have friction and confrontation with the tribe under her influence.

Overall, however, the world of Azeroth has been relatively peaceful after entering a new era.
