Rise and Fall
Defias Brotherhood's stay in Amani was not very long. About October, some of them were recalled to the south by Edwin. Zul'ra sent Tooth-Soldiers to guide Defias's military operations. Bakaji sends back reports from time to time.💞💣 ♠🐟
Edwin did not take refuge in Amani. With the help of Amani, he returned to the south to gather people, armed and trained under the organization of Tooth-Soldiers. SI:7 of Stormwind suddenly seemed to be dead, and they were allowed to develop.
The first thing Defias Brotherhood did when he developed was to raid Westfall's gold mines and obtain a large amount of gold. Not only did he repay Amani's loan of 100,000, but he also ordered a large amount of food, weapons, armor and medicine, and even purchased a battleship.
Regarding Defias Brotherhood's requirements, Zul'ra naturally fulfilled them all with a wave of his hand. The relationship between Amani and Defias Brotherhood is originally of this mutually beneficial nature. As for whether they can develop upward in the future, it can only depend on the situation.
Not only did Defias Brotherhood support Defias Brotherhood with supplies at preferential prices, Zul'ra also remotely sent some suggestions to Bakaji. They should accumulate food widely, slowly become the king, and stop making big news. Of course, occupying gold mines is necessary. In addition, they should also develop farming honestly and lay a good mass base. After they accumulate enough strength, they can defeat their opponents in one go.
I don't know how Defias Brotherhood did it, but Zul'ra gave suggestions anyway, and the support on hand was not lenient. Anyway, he used materials to earn a lot of gold from Defias Brotherhood.
For the convenience of transportation, Zul'ra also asked people to establish simple dock strongholds on the coast of Badlands, the red coast of Blasted Lands, Jaguero Isle of Cape of Stranglethorn, and Yojamba Isle, and sent out his fleet to escort them.
Although the maritime power in his hands was separated, Zul'ra did not panic, because now he could see that Lordaeron had no intention of directly conflicting with Amani, and they were also in a state of distress now.
In the two battles against Horde, Lordaeron was the mainstay of the Alliance, and was even attacked by Orcs at one time, but they withstood it in the end. Therefore, most of the post-war Alliance world was dominated by Lordaeron. At that time, Lordaeron was at its peak.
Lordaeron, who was at the height of his power, kicked the raging Horde off the altar, assisted in the reconstruction of Kingdom of Azeroth, gained the allegiance of Silver Hand, and saved the old rivals Gilneas and Stromgarde (Stromgarde). It was so exciting at that time.
Because it happened to hit a certain point, King Terenas of Lordaeron had some unrealistic ideas in his heart, that is, to reorganize the old human kingdom Arathor, let Humanity is reunited under the name of Lordaeron. This is a good thing. Next time Horde calls, Alliance will be able to fight back faster.
With the idea of being dedicated to the public good, Terenas carried out an operation to annex the territory of Kingdom of Alterac that betrayed Alliance during the war, and then established Orcs concentration camps and distributed the costs of the concentration camps to the Alliance countries to reduce their economies.
While reducing the economies of various countries, Terenas also encouraged his sons to pursue Jaina·Proudmoore, the princess of Kul Tiras, which in turn made Dalaran's Archmage Antonidas became his own Royal Mage Advisor, and continued to prosper until Gilneas quit.

Gilneas's king Genn·Greymane saw Terenas's intentions. The human king decisively chose to withdraw from the Alliance, and built a huge wall at the junction of his island and the mainland, intending to isolate the trouble from his country forever.
Immediately after Gilneas, Stromgarde, the old capital of Arathor and the birthplace of mankind, also withdrew from the Alliance. To be honest, regarding the withdrawal of these two kingdoms, Lordaeron King Terenas is disdainful. So what if you quit? I have already obtained the votes of Kul Tiras, Dalaran, and Stormwind. Alterac is gone. Now four versus two, the unification of mankind is the general trend.
Terenas had a kind of mysterious self-confidence, but as time passed, he gradually felt that something was wrong, because the kingdom's finances were in trouble. With the withdrawal of Gilneas and Stromgarde, the original Orcs concentration camp expenses were actually borne by Lordaeron alone.
There are three human kingdoms in the Alliance. Kingdom of Azeroth is rebuilding Stormwind, but there is no money at all. Dalaran is a magic kingdom, so there is no problem in letting them develop technology, but Somehow, their goals were all focused on the problem of Orcs's sluggishness, and research funds were often in short supply. Terenas hired Antonidas as a consultant, and had to subsidize it a little.
Kingdom of Azeroth and Dalaran are both money-losing products. Kul Tiras is a little better. Some money was given in the first two years, but what happened to Farwell a few years ago? After the outbreak of the epidemic, they used the excuse of the loss of the fleet. In addition, the fleet was severely damaged during the war, and they refused to share the funds. The maintenance expenses of the Orcs concentration camp were contracted by Lordaeron alone.
To be honest, it was originally just a Orcs concentration camp and it was not difficult for Lordaeron. Lordaeron is a famous grain producing area. Although Orcs can eat some, it is good to be able to handle it. Some of them can fight and are thrown into gladiatorial combat. You can also make a small amount of money in the competitive field. There is a Orcs manager Blackmoore who started to pay frequently, which made Terenas very unhappy. But there is more than one Orcs concentration camp where Lordaeron has to spend money.
After Kingdom of Alterac betrayed Alliance, their royal family was all killed, and the royal capital was destroyed by the furious Dalaran mage. Terenas took the opportunity to exile the most famous Barov Family in the country, and annexed the entire Alterac country in one last breath.
Annexing a kingdom is not something that can be done casually. Terenas put a lot of thought into promising rewards to the nobles and nobles there, exempting them from many taxes, and spending a lot of gold coins. Finally, he felt at ease after having the country in his mouth.
After swallowing Kingdom of Alterac, Terenas also worked hard to establish a land-based grain distribution mechanism to circulate food from various places to solve the food problem of people in various places. However, this did not have a good effect on the economy. The kingdom's tax revenue was still worse than the previous year, and the income from the Orcs concentration camp was also gone.
Not only are taxes cut, but all kinds of expenditures are also increasing. Not only are the maintenance costs of the Orcs concentration camps increasing year by year, but various things are going on in the country. Today Ogres is making trouble here with Silver Hand is conducting an encirclement and suppression campaign. Tomorrow there will be a reduction in food production, so food must be transferred to pacify them. Terenas is so busy that he is sweating profusely, but no matter how he operates, the number of refugees in Lordaeron seems to be increasing every year.
