Getting Along Harmoniously
"Then what should I do?" Hamuul Runetotem was a little embarrassed. Although he was Archdruid and had sufficient knowledge of nature, he knew nothing about mind control. 🐼💚 🍫😲
"You need a religious law," Moira suddenly interjected.
"Yes, that's good. A religious law that aligns with Horde values and the interests of the people is necessary." Zul'ra looked at the cold, Undead woman and nodded sincerely.
"Then my task is to understand the religious beliefs within the Horde and distinguish between their good and bad, right?" Hamuul Runetotem tried to articulate his understanding.
"Yes, in addition, you also need to present them to the Horde and encourage Horde to understand and believe in them." Zul'ra nodded. Even excluding the existence of magic, religion is advanced for the generally primitive Orcs, Trolls, and Tauren. The development of the Horde cannot completely abandon religion.
"And what about some things that are inappropriate..." Hamuul Runetotem hesitated to speak, feeling it was wrong to suppress a belief; Earth Mother's embrace should be able to accommodate everything.
"What's inappropriate definitely exists, just like the Cult of the Damned once lurked among humans, aiding the rise of the Scourge." Zul'ra tried to give Hamuul Runetotem an example: the old cows were generally overly gentle, believing that everything in the world was filled with love.
"I understand." Hamuul Runetotem listened to Zul'ra's words and couldn't help but feel a chill. Although he had never been to the Eastern Kingdoms, he had heard about the rampant rise of the Scourge. As for the Cult of the Damned that helped the rise of the Scourge, such a morbid religion that made people want to die, it was better if it didn't exist.
"Okay, that's settled. Does anyone have any questions?" Zul'ra nodded to Hamuul Runetotem with satisfaction, then looked at the others.
"I... um, what is my job?" Lirath raised his hand timidly to ask the question, but seeing the gazes of everyone, he quickly changed his answer.
"I mean, what is the Horde's current foreign policy?" Lirath blushed slightly. As a foreign minister, he still didn't know what he was supposed to do. His question was too stupid.
"This..." Zul'ra looked at Cairne Bloodhoof. She had been doing all the talking, so she had to give this old bull a chance to show his skills.
"Upholding the Horde's stance, the Horde is willing to coexist peacefully with any race and will do everything in its power to defend our world in the face of immense threats such as the Burning Legion and the the Scourge. However, we will not fear any challenge."
When Cairne Bloodhoof caught Zul'ra's gaze, he immediately understood and, based on his racial instincts, gave the Horde's diplomatic policy direction, which was also the most suitable diplomatic policy for the Horde's current situation.
"Does anyone have anything to add?" Cairne Bloodhoof asked Zul'ra after he finished speaking.
"Well, in addition to this, the Horde is committed to the development of the world, strongly opposes colonialism and inhumane oppression and exploitation, and believes that all races should live in harmony!" Zul'ra added a paragraph very seriously, but felt a little uncomfortable after saying it, so she turned to the people in front of her.
"Adding that sentence won't make us seem too aggressive, will it?"
"No, I completely agree." Vol'jin rarely supported Zul'ra, because the islands inhabited by the Darkspear Trolls had been attacked by human colonists and the Naga, pushing their race to the brink of extinction. Although he did not believe that all races were equal, colonialism should not exist.
"Colonialism is indeed very cruel. This policy oppresses the living space of other races, and even the rise of the Scourge is closely related to the colonists in Northrend." Lirath followed up on Vol'jin's words, revealing a huge piece of news.
"What's going on?" Saurfang and Zul'ra both looked up at the same time, as this was the first time they had heard this news.
"Humanity's colonization reached Northrend very early on, and that is also the source of the the Scourge. The earliest the Scourge plague appeared in human colonies in Northrend, and was later captured by the Lich King and handed over to Kel'Thuzad, a mage from Dalaran who went there to explore, to be brought back to the Eastern Kingdoms for release." Moira, as Forsaken, revealed some secrets.
"Damn colonialism! All races are children of Earth Mother and deserve the right to live independently. This is the Horde's claim." Cairne Bloodhoof didn't hesitate any longer and instantly decided on the Horde's anti-colonial stance, even though this stance might lead to conflict with the Alliance. After all, the Horde and the Alliance were inherently incompatible.
"By the way, there's something you need to be careful about in terms of diplomacy. The Kaldorei are currently being courted by the Horde, so you need to be cautious." Zul'ra suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but remind Lirath. The Sin'dorei and Kaldorei are distant relatives, but their relationship isn't very close.
"I'll keep that in mind, Zul'ra Jin." Lirath understood Zul'ra's words. As descendants of the exiled Quel'dorei, the Sin'dorei did indeed harbor some resentment towards their distant relatives, but as members of the Horde, they had a responsibility to overcome this feeling and engage in dialogue with them.
"If you need anything, you can ask Hamuul Runetotem for help. He has a very good relationship with the Kaldorei," Cairne Bloodhoof said, pointing to Hamuul Runetotem on Lirath. As Archdruid, Hamuul Runetotem Natural Faction with the Kaldorei.
"Yes, feel free to come to me if you need anything. The Kaldorei are actually quite easy to get along with, but sometimes you have to admit they can be a bit arrogant, treating everyone else like children." Hamuul Runetotem's bull-like face smiled gently at Lirath, his words carrying a hint of commentary on the Kaldorei.
"My race is similar." Lirath looked at the incredibly gentle Archdruid, a little shy on his face. In some ways, the Sin'dorei were actually the same as the Kaldorei, but unlike the Kaldorei, they did not take pride in their longevity, but only in their Arcane and wealth. The Kaldorei, on the other hand, became arrogant towards other races because of their longevity.
"But I don't see that in you." Cairne Bloodhoof couldn't help but grin. Lirath seemed very approachable, and the fact that they were all sitting together discussing things like this was a very good sign.
"Moira, I have a legal request for you. Please ask everyone on the farms to take good care of the Kodo and horses and not harm them, because we don't have enough farmland and livestock right now," Haimuxi said, turning to the Undead Moira.
"Of course, I will, and there's also a law prohibiting the trampling of crops." Moira gazed at Haimuxi, her aura of incongruity dissipating somewhat, and her expression undergoing several changes.
"I'll also give those little brats a heads-up about this." Saurfang grinned; the Orcs were never ones to be involved in trampling crops.
"I feel that perhaps Hamuul Runetotem can help with this matter a bit more. The law is an order, but it may not suit everyone's views. We can't force anyone to do things in certain ways. We can't just kill someone for stepping on their crops. Therefore, we also need to help the Horde members improve their moral values. We should approach this from two angles." Zul'ra eagerly offered his ideas to implement the Horde's legal system.
There was no more at night.
