World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde

The specific alliance that the night elves joined was unknown to Garin before. The only thing he knew was that it was an alliance that they joined under the guidance of the Archmage Jaina, Lord of Theramore, after the Battle of Ragnarok.

In the past, Garin had always wondered why the night elves had joined the Alliance while the Cenarion Circle had remained neutral. This doubt was finally explained in a conversation with Archdruid Fandral.

In the final analysis, the night elves joined the Alliance because of the Horde.

In the game, the hatred between the night elves and the orcs is due to logging in Ashenvale, but is this really the case?

It is true that the night elves revere them, but the night elves who joined the Alliance were not the druids of the Cenarion Circle, but the night elf sentinels led by the high priest Tyrande.

As an organization that truly protects nature, the Cenarion Circle doesn't have that much hatred for the Horde.

You must know that even now, the tribe's deforestation of Ash Valley has not reached the point where it is hopeless. From the map, it can still be seen intuitively that most of the Ash Valley still maintains towering trees.

In sharp contrast to what the orcs did in Ashenvale are the centaurs in Desolace, the Barrens, and the quilboar in Durotar.

In the ancient continent of Kalimdor, all areas of Kalimdor were very fertile. The desert in southern Kalimdor was caused by the use of the Forge of Origin by the Ahn'Qiraj bugs and the Tol'vir.

The degradation of Desolation, the Barrens, and Durotar happened under the eyes of the night elves.

Centaur and quilboar, these two races have devastated the Desolation, Barrens and Durotar in central Kalimdor, let alone launched the genocide of the tauren. Yes, but have you cared about or asked about the night elves when you saw them?

The answer is of course no. The night elves living in northern Kalimdor turned a blind eye to the destruction of the centaurs and quilboars.

The reason why the tribal orcs went to Ashenvale to log wood was because the centaurs and quilboars had ruined Durotar and the Barrens too barrenly.

As a result, the night elves did not attack the centaurs and quilboars, who were more damaging to Kalimdor's nature. Instead, they vigorously fought against the orcs of the tribe. What was this for?

In addition to the centaurs and quilboars being the descendants of the forest demigods Cenarius and Agamaggan, there is another important reason, that is, no matter how much the centaurs and quilboars cause chaos, they cannot threaten the night elves. The overlord of Kalimdor.

The orcs of the tribe are different. The orcs, tauren, and darkspear trolls combined have a population and strength that exceeds that of the night elves.

Although night elves have eternal lifespan, due to the influence of druids' need to sleep, most of the time, night elves and men can hardly live together. Tyrande and Malfurion often only see each other once every thousand years. Not to mention other night elf men and women.

Coupled with the low desire for reproduction brought about by the long lifespan of elves, this resulted in the population of night elves not doubling in ten thousand years.

Even though the rest of the tribe's land except Mulgore, where the tauren live, is very barren, with the tribe's population and reproductive capacity, it won't take long to completely suppress the night elves and replace them as the overlord of Kalimdor.

Although High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind has a reckless personality, he has a strong desire to control power. This can be seen from the destruction of Jarod Shadowsong's army and the formation of the Night Elf Sentinel Force, which is only controlled and commanded by himself. at this point.

Although he has character flaws, the high priest Tyrande Whisperwind, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, deeply understands that the tribe poses a great threat to the night elves' dominance of Kalimdor.

This is why the ones fighting the Warsong Clan orcs in Ashenvale were not the night elf druids of the Cenarion Circle, but the night elf sentries.

The character of the night elf druids can be summed up as being indifferent to the world. They put their minds on the Emerald Dream, which led to the Cenarion Circle not paying attention to the rising tribes at all.

They didn't care if the Horde threatened their dominance of Kalimdor, as long as they didn't disturb their journey to the Emerald Dream, they would be fine.

After losing the blessings of the Well of Eternity and the Aspect Dragon, the night elves fell into weakness again. Without their eternal lifespan and invulnerable body, they would inevitably be weak in the battle against the tribe.

Then finding an ally to check and balance the tribe becomes key.

Throughout Azeroth, there is no one more suitable to check and balance the Horde than the Alliance.

The core of the alliance is located on the Eastern Kingdom continent. No matter how they develop, they will not threaten the night elves' dominance over Kalimdor.

The Alliance's only stronghold in Kalimdor is Theramore established by the Archmage Jaina. Theramore's population and military strength determine that it is difficult for them to even control Dustwallow Swamp. How can they threaten the night elves?

In addition, the Alliance and the Horde have a blood feud. Varian Wrynn, the king of Stormwind City, has a grudge against the Horde for killing his father.

The combination of these reasons led High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind to decide to temporarily cooperate with the Alliance.

High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind has absolute leadership over the Night Elf Sentinels. The Night Elf Sentinels are completely loyal to High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind. Therefore, by joining the Alliance, they have no interference at all with those who also rule the Night Elves. Cenarion Circle.

Archdruid Fandral Staghelm also understood the threat of orcs. The tribe's huge population living on such barren land would inevitably lead to wars over resources.

However, Archdruid Fandral did not agree with High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind's plan to join the Alliance to fight against the Horde.

Compared with the high priest Tyrande Whisperwind, who only cared about the land of Kalimdor, the archdruid Fandral Staghelm once set foot on most of the new continents of Azeroth after the Great Cataclysm.

Thradan in the Hinterlands, Dawn Forest in the Dusk Forest, and World Tree in the Grizzly Hills of Northrend were all created by the druids of the Cenarion Circle.

Therefore, Archdruid Fandral Staghelm knows more about the Alliance, or humanity, than High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind.

Humanity's greed and possessiveness for land are more terrifying than the tribes. Over the course of thousands of years, humans have expanded from the Arathi Highlands to the entire Eastern Kingdom, Northrend, and overseas Kul Tiras.

Even though Theramore is just a colonial port now, in less than a hundred years, Theramore is likely to become a new human kingdom.

Coupled with the cooperation between the high elves of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas and humans, the result was that Dalaran was an unstable and even counterproductive factor.

By cooperating with the Alliance, or humans, the night elves are likely to end up with the same fate as the high elves of Quel'Thalas, that is, they will eventually be counterattacked.
