The Center of the Four Quarters

The Forsaken are so special that anyone with eyes can see it. Compared to races distinguished by appearance and customs, they are Undead retain their reason and actions. Beyond appearance and customs, they are separated from other races by the line between life and death. ╰☆☆ Claws ☆☆╮

Even the Sin'dorei, Forsaken had once supported, and Quel'Thalas, from Sylvanas's family, were unwilling to speak up for them. However, because they were now members of the Horde and had tried to win over Sin'dorei Sin'dorei for the Horde, Thrall had to consider their sentiments, even though they did not support the Forsaken. In short, Thrall still needed to think things through.

Putting aside the special circumstances of the Forsaken, almost all races unanimously agreed to implement the new reform plan. The administrative reform centered on Durotar, Amani, Darkspear, and Thunder Bluff is inevitable. However, how to plan this administration still needs to be discussed and approved by everyone.

"In the future, the Horde's affairs will be scattered on all sides, and what we need to do is to take control of the center. My proposal is to establish ministers and prime ministers under the Warchief, so that the chief's advisors become the Horde's advisors." Zul'ra began to explain his proposal for administrative reform to the many high-ranking members of the Horde, including Amani'lai.

In the past, Horde affairs were handled by the tribe, with the Warchief holding all the power. However, he had no assistants, only his own advisors. These advisors were his personal think tank, composed of people from various tribes, but not belonging to the Horde collective. Zul'ra first proposed that the Warchief's advisors should essentially be the Horde's advisors, thus dividing the Warchief's power.

Power was centralized, though it still rested with the Warchief. However, the Warchief inevitably had to relinquish some power. While China's emperors were unique, China central system was not simply a matter of absolute monarchical power; it also included the assistance of the prime minister. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that the prime minister's power was completely absorbed by the monarch and replaced by the Grand Secretariat and the Military Council.

"After establishing a central authority that controls all directions within the substantive Horde, we will implement a regional reform, dividing the Horde's territory into several major regions, each further subdivided into smaller regions. Each major region and smaller region will have its own leader. The smaller region leader is responsible to the major region leader, who in turn is responsible to the central authority. Orders issued by the central authority must be carried out by both major and minor regions. This is like our two legs; they must work together to walk."

"That's my opinion. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Zul'ra gave a brief overview of her proposal.

"Zul'ra Jin, your proposal challenges the Warchief's authority." Sylvanas immediately jumped in to refute him after Zul'ra finished speaking. Although she was ostensibly upholding Thrall's authority, she was essentially opposing Zul'ra's proposal. Forsaken's power was taken away by the central government, what could she, the Queen of Undercity, possibly do?

"I think Zul'ra Jin's suggestion is excellent. Moreover, this does not question the Warchief's authority; on the contrary, it strengthens the Warchief's power and will help unite the Horde." Magatha Grimtotem blinked her bull-like eyes. Unlike Sylvanas, she saw a prospect where Cairne Bloodhoof would be sent to the central government, while she could rightfully obtain local power in Thunder Bluff.

"Warchief..." Vol'jin looked at Thrall, who was deep in thought, unsure of the pros and cons.

"I personally have no objection, Cairne Bloodhoof, what about you?" Thrall's expression was somewhat uncertain. Magatha Grimtotem and Sylvanas were not wrong; his authority had indeed been questioned, and his power had been divided. However, the strengthening of the central government also reinforced the Warchief's authority. This plan was feasible, but equally dangerous.

If members of Horde tribe oppose the centralization of power, the ensuing rebellion will cause the Horde to fall apart instantly, especially with the presence of the Forsaken as an unstable factor. Therefore, he is optimistic about this plan, but it also needs strong support. Not to mention Amani, who proposed the plan, Shu'halo and Darkspear also need to be considered.

"... I have no objection. This plan has a very promising future." Cairne Bloodhoof glanced at Magatha Grimtotem, then pondered for a moment before nodding.

"And what about Lor'themar?" Thrall looked at Lor'themar on the other side. Although the Sin'dorei demanded autonomy, their opinions were equally indispensable. To suppress destabilizing factors, he needed tremendous support.

"Zul'ra Jin, in your proposal, how should the rights of the Sin'dorei be guaranteed?" Lor'themar was slightly annoyed. The prospects of this plan were quite tempting to him, but he hoped that the Sin'dorei would remain independent, which might lead to their exclusion from the central government.

"Among all our races, the Sin'dorei possess relatively advanced technology and knowledge, and so do the Forsaken. This will be necessary for the Horde reform. As for the rights of the Sin'dorei, I think a certain degree of military and political independence can be granted, but in diplomacy, you must obey the central government, and military and political matters must be coordinated with the central government."

Faced with Zul'ra's words, Lor'themar fell into deep thought. Trading full diplomatic authority and a certain degree of military and political power for central authority was a very worthwhile deal, given that Quel'Thalas ' military and diplomatic relations were already stagnant and that joining the Horde was originally for seeking faction military protection. Now, there was also the opportunity to gain even greater power.

"If, as you say, the rights of the Sin'dorei are guaranteed, then the Sin'dorei are willing to follow in the footsteps of the Warchief." Lor'themar had already calculated the losses of the plan in his mind, but as always, he was slippery in his public statements, neither agreeing nor disagreeing; if everyone agreed, then he agreed.

"Sylvanas..." Thrall finally turned his gaze to the only dissenter.

"I am willing to follow in the footsteps of the Warchief, but I hope that the Forsaken can have the same rights as the Sin'dorei." Sylvanas looked at all the leaders present who agreed to the plan, and carefully considered her own gains and losses. She opposed the plan, worried that the Forsaken would lose their independence and be excluded from the central government, but Zul'ra's words just now gave her some hope of entering the central government.

"I will carefully consider the rights and interests of every race in the Horde. Zul'ra Jin, tell me the details of your plan." Thrall did not respond directly. Although he had the consent of most of the leaders, their cunning made him somewhat hesitant, and he wanted Zul'ra to speak in more detail.

"Okay, no problem. In my opinion, a prime minister and other ministers should be established under the Warchief to assist the chief in governing the Horde Warchief..." Zul'ra looked at the many leaders and high-ranking officials, making comparisons in his mind, and devising a central system suitable for the Horde. This matter cannot simply copy the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers or the Three Departments and Six Ministries.

There's nothing left at night.
