Orgrimmar's Gathering

Despite numerous attempts by influential figures to mediate, the relationship between Mardi and Gallywix was difficult to reconcile. Gallywix, on the other hand, had gained nothing from the war, even acquiring oil fields and gold mines; Mardi, however, was at a disadvantage. ♘🐺 ඏ🐉

Not only Mardi, but several Gadgetzan magnates and barons were also unwilling to give up, because the oil fields and gold mines that Gallywix had acquired were theirs. If Gallywix did not return them, they would never let the matter rest. However, Gallywix claimed that the oil fields and gold mines had partners and could not be handed over at all.

Seeing that the matter had dragged back into his own hands, Zul'ra felt a bit resentful, but to avoid becoming the target of everyone's anger, he had no choice but to step forward and announce that he would return those benefits to Gadgetzan. Then he pulled several bigwigs and barons, including Mardi, aside and, with a mix of threats and inducements, promised to let them develop the gold mines that the Horde had discovered on the Northrend. This finally made them, who were no match for the Bilgewater Cartel, give up the oil fields and gold mines in Tanaris.

Goblins might compromise for their own interests, but it's hard to say about those distant relatives of Sandfury. However, Zul'ra had prepared enough measures, but none of them were needed. With the Horde's willingness to provide food and water, he finally agreed to a truce and allowed workers and machines bearing the Horde's mark to work in the gold mines and oil fields.

Besides offering food and water to persuade the distant relatives of Sandfury to agree to a truce, Zul'ra also asked Vol'jin for Goblins. They realized they didn't have enough manpower to deal with the goblins and should seek help from the Zandalar. The Desert Trolls, having accepted the Horde's aid, had fought a major battle with the Gadgetzan Goblins and learned a thing or two. Realizing their own inferiority, they went to the Zandalar for assistance.

The Goblins conflict was forcibly ended thanks to the Horde's appeasement, but the world's changes will not stop there.

In an effort to reopen the Dark Portal and prevent Hakkar's resurrection in Zul'Gurub, the Horde and Theramore discussed several issues. Jaina relayed the message to Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind. Varian did not agree to speak with the Horde but instead raised a question, saying that a group of dark-skinned Orcs were in Blackrock Mountain and harassing Northshire of Stormwind.

At the time, Thrall was learning Shaman from Aggra and received some inspiration from the Water Elemental. So he personally led Aggra and Dranosh to the Eastern Kingdoms to deal with the remnants of the Old Horde in Blackrock Mountain and, according to the Water Elemental's instructions, to resolve some crises beneath the world. As a result, he missed the Goblins conflict.

During Thrall's absence from Orgrimmar, all affairs in Orgrimmar were managed by Sanra. After calming the goblin conflict, a wave of criticism swept through the Horde, led by Archdruid Hammer, against the religious Twilight's Hammer that had recently spread within the Horde.

Because of the change in the Horde system, power was concentrated in the center, and in order to further advance technology and society, Zul'ra assigned a large number of tasks. These tasks were spread over the common people, making everyone bear a lot of work and work from morning to night. Although life was getting better, the days of working and farming were still rather monotonous. The Twilight Faith took this opportunity to flood into society.

The Twilight Cult has gone astray, but so far nothing has gone too far. Zul'ra and Hamuul Runetotem, mindful of the consequences, have refrained from direct violence against them. The Twilight's Hammer followers have also begun to preach and solicit donations in a semi-public manner, and for a time they have gained considerable influence.

Faced with the Archdruid's criticism, the powerful Twilight Devotees naturally refused to back down, engaging in debate with the Druid, accusing him of suppressing faith, and openly preaching, inciting their ignorant followers to seek an audience with the Warchief in Orgrimmar. The Warchief was in the Eastern Kingdoms, received these petitioners through Zul'ra and delivered his verdict:

"Since you have such a devout and unwavering faith, then let's have a public debate! The Horde has freedom of belief; prove that you are not as Elder Hamuul Runetotem accused you of. Demonstrate your faith and miracles to the people. If everything is in order, I will support the promotion of your Twilight faith and even lead the way in converting to your god."

The devout believers of Twilight had no objection to Zul'ra's judgment. They believed they were right, that the world was destined to be destroyed, and that only faith in the Old God could save them from the Hour of Twilight. With the intention of saving humanity, they decided to publicly debate with the Archdruid, led by Hamuul Runetotem, in order to spread the glory of the Old God.

In order to spread their faith, the Twilight Cult quickly promoted the news of the debate, and Zul'ra also helped to push things along. He installed newly made broadcasts in and around Orgrimmar, spread the news everywhere on the radio, and ordered all factories and construction sites to close for three days so that people could come to Orgrimmar to watch the debate.

With the combined efforts of the Twilight Cult and the Horde, news of the upcoming debate in Orgrimmar spread far and wide, attracting even casual observers who had no interest in faith to flock to the Horde's capital city.

Before the debate even began, the number of people in Orgrimmar increased at a visible rate. On the day itself, the population of this great city exceeded 50,000, and the streets were teeming with people. Even before the debate began, people's attention was drawn to the shops and stalls on the streets.

After several years of development, the Orcs, Trolls, and Shu'halo have all shaken off the poverty and hardship they faced when they first formed their Horde. After many days of busy farming and leisure work, they have a lot of spare money. When they see food, drink, or other necessities, they just take out their money and buy them, or go to the Glory Arena to watch a thrilling gladiator competition.

Although they enjoyed experiencing the prosperity of the Horde and shopping in Orgrimmar, they still had business to attend to. After a day, the tourists hadn't seen any of the debate activities, which began to raise their suspicions.

The next day, people were talking about it, and the streets and alleys were filled with discussions about the situation. Some guessed that Twilight's Hammer was afraid, while others guessed that Twilight's Hammer had been killed in advance. Not everyone could accept Twilight's Hammer's ghostly teachings, and all sorts of ideas were circulating until nightfall.

The nights in Orgrimmar are quite hot. After nightfall, people don't rest. They stand under the city's streetlights, holding a cold drink, laughing and chatting in the cool evening breeze. In this tranquil yet lively atmosphere, a sound suddenly rises in the city.

"Good evening, everyone. This is Orgrimmar Radio. I am Zul'ra Jin, the Horde's Minister of Industry. Due to the Warchief's departure for a mission in the Eastern Kingdoms, I will be temporarily assuming his duties."

The sound instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys. The crowds who were drinking cold drinks and enjoying the evening breeze almost all jumped up on alert, searching for the source of the sound, because it was even more terrifying than the battle cry of the strongest Warrior.
