Chapter 999: Rebuilding the Three Hammers Council?

Ever since the Black Iron Dwarves were freed from the enslavement of the Fire Elemental, the Black Iron King, Dagran Thorrison, and Queen Moira have been looking for a chance to reintegrate into Azeroth.

The High Elves who helped the Black Iron Dwarves regain their freedom were undoubtedly the best matchmakers.

Unfortunately, the territory of the Black Iron Dwarves is located in the scorching canyons and burning plains in the south-central part of the Eastern Kingdom, thousands of miles away from Quel'Salas, far away in the northern frontier of the Eastern Continent.

And both areas are deep inland, too much to reach by sea.

Since the Black Iron Dwarves have not yet formally reconciled with the Copperbeard and Brute Hammer Dwarves, it is not easy for Quel'Salas to blatantly cross the territory of the Kazmodan Kingdom to establish trade routes with the Black Iron Dwarves.

The two Lords of the Black Iron Kingdom, Dagran Thorrison and Moira, are interested in changing the status quo.

It's a pity that Moira was too decisive when she left Ironforge Castle, and it was not good to pull down her face and ask her father to bow her head and give in.

Salian has only received a letter from Unicorn in the last day or two.

The Black Iron King and Queen tasked him with testing the dwarven tribes of Hammer and Copperbeard to see if he could broker a formal peace meeting between the three dwarven tribes.

After the death of the King of the Mountains, Anwemar, the three major dwarven tribes set off a civil war recorded in the history books, known as the Battle of the Three Hammers.

The result of this war was a great defeat for the Black Iron Dwarves, and both the Emperor Thorrisen and Queen Mordgood were killed on the battlefield, and they found themselves a slave owner who was not good to serve.

Although the Hammer Dwarves lost their capital, Grimbaatar, they were fortunate enough to meet the griffons of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and developed the Hammerhammer Griffin Knights, who would later become famous throughout Azeroth.

The Copperbeard Dwarves who defended Ironforge were the biggest winners of the Battle of the Three Hammers, and the father of the three Copperbeard brothers, Madolan Copperbeard, took the throne from the descendants of Anvimar and passed it to his eldest son, Magni, on his deathbed.

The Copperbeard family's steady rule over the Kazmodan Kingdom lasted for more than 200 years, and it is now firmly established.

In the past 200 years, the Hammer Dwarves have developed their own unique path, and they no longer care much about the throne of Kazmodan, which was inseparable from Copperbeard and Black Iron.

However, the Black Iron Dwarves still can't let go of this obsession, and Dagran Thorrison and Moira want to revive the three-hammer parliamentary system and allow the representatives of the three tribes to govern in a parliamentary manner in Ironforge.

When the representatives of the Brute Hammer and Copperbeard Clans read the contents of the paper inscribed on the stone tablet by the Black Iron Dwarf, the expressions of the two representatives changed differently.

The Brutehammer Dwarves were noncommittal about the Black Iron Dwarves' proposal, and it was gratifying that the Three Hammers Council could succeed, but it didn't matter if it failed, it was a big deal to continue to live a good life in Hinterland.

The reaction of the copperbeard representative side was more intense, if it weren't for the sake of Sarren's face, the hot-tempered dwarf would have jumped up and scolded on the spot.

Come to think of it, the Copperbeard Dwarf has been in charge of the throne of Kazmodan for more than 200 years, and the Black Iron Dwarf wants to take away some of the power, where is it so easy.

Seeing the reddened face of the Bronze Beard Representative and holding back his anger, Sarian shrugged helplessly: "Don't be so excited, let's send the news of the Black Iron Dwarves' intention to reconcile back to the Iron Forge." ”

"After the negotiation of the terms of the peace talks, you can send professional diplomats and black iron dwarves to pull slowly."

"As for the Brute Hammer Kingdom......"

Salaan turned his gaze to look at the representative of the Hammer who was still the old god with a playful expression on his face.

"Furstad also needs to know the news as soon as possible, and with the relatively neutral Brute Hammer Dwarves making peace from it, I believe that the negotiations between the three parties should finally get a good result."

With all that had to be said, Saljan said goodbye to the two dwarven representatives and returned to the vicinity of Quel'Salas's seat.

"How? Are they done? ”

Valilla nodded and then shook her head: "The initial intention to resume trade has been reached, and the follow-up detailed negotiations require diplomats from several parties to sit down and negotiate slowly, and it should not be possible to get a result in a day or two." ”

This situation plays into the heart of Caria, who aims to use sweet bait to attract the attention of the leaders of the other human kingdoms, and eventually lead to a real summit meeting with the kings about rebuilding the alliance.

At this point, the national congress can be regarded as a smooth conclusion, and all countries, including the host Lordaeron, have gained something at the meeting.

Nomorigan's gnomes, like Quel'Salas, were fishing in soy sauce throughout the meeting.

The Hammer Dwarves and Copperbeard Dwarves did not gain much value from the contents of the meeting itself, but instead caused a stir when the Black Iron Document that Salian had handed over to them was transmitted back to the two countries.

As expected by Sarjan, the acting Hammerlord Furstad did not explicitly support the re-establishment of the Council of the Three Hammers, and seemed to be hesitant to side with the Black Iron Dwarves in this matter for the sake of the country and race.

As for the Copperbeard Dwarves......

The hot-tempered Magni immediately jumped out to express his resolute opposition, and spoke publicly, ordering Thoresen to release his daughter, otherwise he would let the Black Iron Dwarves who had lost the protection of the fire element know the power of the Kazmodan Kingdom.

Of course, Dagran Thorrison couldn't give in, and the Black Iron Dwarves and the Copperbeard Dwarves started a war of scolding.

Undecided, Furstad was quick to call on both sides to exercise restraint, and it would be better to find an opportunity for their respective diplomats to sit down and talk slowly, rather than sending troops to fight at every turn.

The kingdom of Kazmodan was also devastated by the Second Orc War, and all the territories except Ironforge were plundered by the Orcs, and it was only in the last two years that it gradually recovered.

Magni is actually just saying that, and the local military conflict with the Black Iron Dwarves in the Wastelands in the past few years has caused a lot of burden on the kingdom.

Muradin, who is still on the front line, has repeatedly called for no more fighting, and it is indeed time to sit down and talk to the Black Iron Dwarves who have escaped the enslavement of the fire elemental.

Moreover, the ambiguous attitude of the Hammer Dwarves also worried McGony, and he felt that the old boy of Furstad seemed to be attracted to the Black Iron Dwarves' proposal.

At this juncture, Brian, who had been archaeologically all over the world, suddenly returned.

The thieves of Backlight Blade didn't find out what Brian had said to Magni in private, only that the two brothers had an unpleasant quarrel.

A few days after the enthronement ceremony and the subsequent congress ended, Sarlian led a delegation to bid farewell to Queen Lordaeron, who had officially ascended the throne, and teleported directly back to Silvermoon City to report on her work.

After listening to Sarjan's report on the results of this trip, Kael'thas happened to ask him about the recent uproar of the Three Hammers Council of the Dwarves, which was a moment of pastime after his busy work.

"Brian......"

Referring to the free Prince of Copperbeard, Salian said with some emotion: "In terms of the overall situation, Brian, who focuses on the whole world, should be the best of the three Copperbeard brothers. ”

"As the patriarch of the Copperbeard Clan, Magni naturally has to think about the interests of his own clan, and it is understandable that he does not want to give up the established interests that the Copperbeard Dwarf already holds in his hands."

"In the same way, Muradin, who has a lot of influence in the military, will also prioritize racial and national interests, and cannot see the big picture like Brian and say whatever he wants."

"I guess Brian should have been aggressive in persuading Magni to agree to the rebuilding of the Three Hammers Council, and quarreled with Magni, who has been angry lately, over the matter."

As president of the Explorers' Guild, an international civil organization, Brian was very sensitive to the distinction between race and nation, and its members were members of all races, including but not limited to dwarves, gnomes, and humans.

The last time Sarren went to Uldaman to look for Azadas, he even saw a frost troll from an unknown clan digging with his fellow Explorers Guild colleagues.

Kael'thas also had the opportunity to interact with Brian during his time at Dalaran, and he strongly agrees with Sarren's assessment of Brian.

"I don't know what form the three-clan negotiations will end in the end, the position of the Brute Hammer Dwarves seems to be a little wavering."

Salian smiled and nodded: "If the Three Hammers Council can be rebuilt, the Brute Hammer clan can also share some of the power, and of course Vorstad is happy to see it." ”

"The reason why I haven't been able to make up my mind is that I don't want to offend the Copperbeard tribe who have eased their relationship with great difficulty because of this crucial statement."

"But...... I think he will still make a decision in favor of the Brute Hammer Clan in the end, and the Three Hammer Council will most likely be rebuilt, but the process will definitely not be so smooth. ”
