However, the Alliance was forced to move the bulk of its forces to Kalimdor and to the southern Eastern Kingdoms continents of [[Khaz Modan]] and [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]] after a [[plague]] of undeath ravaged the Kingdom of [[Lordaeron]] several years ago. It has since lost many members as well as gained new allies. |

| − | ==Alliance of Lordaeron== |
||
| − | [[File:Lorderan Tabard.jpg|thumb|right|The Seal of Lordaeron is used prominently in Alliance culture.]] |
||
| − | {{main|Alliance of Lordaeron}} |
||
| − | The modern Alliance is the successor to the Alliance of Lordaeron, which was created at the behest of King {{npc||Terenas Menethil II}} of [[Lordaeron]] and Lord {{npc||Anduin Lothar}} of the kingdom of Stormwind following the [[First War]], five years after the reckoning. The human, dwarf, gnome, and high elf races allied together to fight off the [[orc]]ish [[History of the Horde|Horde]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Aftermath of the Second Invasion== |
||
| − | Events of the [[Third War|Second Invasion]] led to an alliance with both the night elves and the Horde. The former became permanent, while the latter did not. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the Second Invasion, many of the surviving high elves rebranded themselves as [[blood elf|blood elves]] and rejoined the Alliance shortly after the invasion, only to leave it again following an attempted purge by Grand Marshal {{npc||Garithos}}. The true high elves remain loyal to the new Alliance, most notably the ones dwelling in [[Theramore]] under Lady {{npc||Jaina Proudmoore}} and {{NPC||Captain Darill}} and in the [[Hinterlands]] at [[Quel'Danil Lodge]], apparently led by {{NPC||Jalinde Summerdrake}}. More recently, high elves have grouped together in Northrend as the [[Silver Covenant]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A few years later, the draenei joined the Alliance. Stranded a world away from home, they are trying to establish a new base on Azeroth from the wreckage of the [[Exodar]] as well as gain the trust and cooperation of the Alliance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the events of the [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]], another race joined the ranks of the Alliance; the [[worgen]] of [[Gilneas]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Organization== |
||
| − | [[File:Half-orc.jpg|thumb|Half-orc]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Alliance is not a uniform governmental body, but is a coalition of mutual military and economic aid. Housing the Alliance Assembly, [[Theramore]] was once considered the official home of the new Alliance, when Stormwind was bound under [[Onyxia]]'s thrall under the guise of Katrana Prestor. The inability of Stormwind to act forced both [[Theramore]] and the [[night elf|night elves]] to step in, resulting in a growing gap of cooperation between the two continents. This, however, is no longer the case with King Varian's return and the death of Onyxia. Varian's direct aid to the Night Elves has won their trust, and Jaina's constant presence with him as an advisor (and to temper his edges) has firmly reunited Theramore and Stormwind once more. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the past, certain rules, customs, and regulations were a constant hindrance to mutual actions across the entire Alliance. This made cooperation sluggish, and considerably slowed the rate at which the Alliance was able to reclaim its former lands and glory. Despite the problems and intrigues within their leadership, all parts of the Alliance are steadfast in their desire to reclaim and rebuild, and all members share a distrust of the Horde. Approximately 800,000 souls belong to the allied races spanning two continents (based on membership numbers of the Church of Light)<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', ???</ref>. The Alliance is a great and peaceful body overall, their might being legendary, but their desire for peace, even stronger. Above all, where {{npc||Jaina Proudmoore}} and {{npc||Tyrande Whisperwind}} are good at coordinating their efforts on Kalimdor, Lady {{npc||Katrana Prestor}} of Stormwind was doing a fine job of undoing the Alliance in the [[Eastern Kingdoms]],<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 163</ref> however she has been slain in lore and King {{npc||Varian Wrynn}} has now taken his rightful place as king.<ref>[[World of Warcraft: Issue 14]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Even now, as always, humans are the glue that hold the Alliance together, being the most numerous and diplomatic of the member races. The armies of Stormwind are stationed through out the Eastern Kingdoms, trying to retake regions such as Duskwood, Westfall, and The Redridge mountains. The armies of Ironforge are mainly stationed in Khaz Modan along with their Gnome allies, and the Night Elven armies are mainly defending northern Kalimdor from Horde's deforestation of the Ashenvale. The remaining Draenei forces are still trying to secure their new home on Azuremyst Isle, and are also stationed in Outland. The recently brought in Gilnean armies are defending themselves from the endless onslaught of the Forsaken. |
