Biodata

Member Nations and Partners

• Stormwind — King Varian Wrynn leads major Alliance campaigns; Bolvar Fordragon represents Stormwind in earlier councils 81 146 294.
• Dalaran, Quel'Thalas, and Ironforge — Participate in Alliance deliberations and contribute mages or troops to its expeditions 81 294 302.
• Kul Tiras — Provides maritime transport for the Northrend expedition 294.
• Theramore — Joined the Alliance for self-preservation while retaining its identity as a neutral commercial city. It sponsors the Ahn'Qiraj expedition without directly committing city troops 450 482.
• Zandalar — Joins after Talanji succeeds Rastakhan; Stormwind and Kul Tiras subsequently send fleets there 444 445.

Organization and Diplomacy

• Alliance nations negotiate campaign commitments and rewards. Before the Northrend expedition, their leaders agree to divide Yogg-Saron's treasury according to troop contributions and share research from Titan facilities 294.
• Varian describes fairness, trustworthiness, and clearly negotiated obligations as the basis for holding the coalition together 295.
• Cooperation with the Horde depends on the threat. The factions coordinate separate attacks in Northrend and fight the Qiraji in Silithus, while distrust and the conflict in Ashenvale persist 302 476 482.

Major Campaigns

• Scourge war — Alliance leaders dispute whether to prioritize liberating Lordaeron or reclaiming Quel'Thalas and the Sunwell 81 83. Alliance forces later help clear Stratholme alongside its surviving Scarlet Crusaders 431.
• Blackrock Mountain — Varian leads Alliance troops against Blackrock Orcs and Nefarian's forces. Mages breach the outer defenses with Glyph Bombs 146.
• Northrend expedition — A coalition force lands in Dragonblight to confront the Burning Legion and Yogg-Saron. After agreeing with Saurfang to split their objectives, the Alliance advances on Ulduar, where its heroes defeat the Old God 294 296 302 309.
• Ahn'Qiraj — The Alliance sends a small, mage-supported force through portals rather than transporting a large army across the sea 482 487. Its forces clear the Zola Insect Nest, use Theramore's explosive weapon against the Qiraji, and take over the temple after the Horde's costly fight with the Twin Emperors 488 495 498 499. Alliance personnel then join the effort to rebuild the Scarab Wall 504.
• Ashenvale — The prospect of Alliance intervention pressures Thrall during the Horde's war with the Night Elves. Theramore initially maintains a position of non-interference rather than committing Alliance forces to that front 437 450 461.
