In general, the return of the expeditionary force soldiers went smoothly overall. Most of the Alliance soldiers were full of respect for these Heroism soldiers, and they also received the respect they deserved after their return. This is proved by the fact that leaders of the Alliance countries attended the ceremony of the expeditionary force soldiers returning home.
In the process, Draenei also gradually adapted to the life of Northrend. With the help of Val'kyr sent by Azeroth, and the assistance of those Blue Dragonflight, these wanderers from the alien planet finally established their new home in Borean Tundra.
After the Draeneis gradually adapted to the life of Azeroth, this race sent an application to the Alliance to join them. In the end, this race was accepted by the Alliance and became a member of the Alliance.
For the Alliance, these races that suddenly appeared in Northrend are generally friendly, and they also have hatred for Orcs and Burning Legion. There is no reason not to accept them.
It's just that in Northrend, Draenei can rarely get assistance from the Alliance. Of course, Draenei themselves are not particularly concerned about this. They will join Alliance mainly because of their relationship with Alliance Expedition and the introduction of Aaron.
Although they are refugees, it is not that difficult for these high-tech refugees to survive in Azeroth. This is mainly due to the recommendation of Aaron, including Velen The higher-ups inside Draenei are also deeply frightened by what happened in Draenor. If Draenei does not prove their friendliness to other races, then they are likely to cause disaster.
In Draenor, Orcs caused endless disasters to Draenei, which left Draenei with lingering fears.
This is crucial to Draenei, because the local residents of Azeroth have begun to explore Northrend, and Borean Tundra is not a place to escape from the world. After all, they had to deal with the indigenous people of Azeroth, so they finally chose to release their goodwill to the Alliance who had begun to establish a solid stronghold in Northrend.
After settling the expeditionary force soldiers and Draenei, Aaron began to promote another thing: opening up the connection between Azeroth and Outland.
Aaron had already discussed this with Khadgar when he wanted to bring the expeditionary force back. Khadgar said at the time that he had a way to reduce the huge energy in the portal, but no one knew whether this would have an impact on Azeroth.
After Aaron returned, he directly approached Azeroth. After getting a positive answer from the other party, the agenda of restarting Dark Portal gradually got on the right track.
Of course, this is mainly because opening Dark Portal does not require Alliance countries to pay too much. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Alliance to agree to open that dangerous door after just experiencing Battle of Mount Hyjal's heavy losses.
In fact, most of the leaders in the Alliance don't know what it means to open that door. Only Aaron and Azeroth, World-Soul and a few people know, Illidan's close combat in Outland will affect the process of launching a counterattack against the Burning Legion, so opening Dark Portal will help understand the progress of Illidan and provide him with certain help.
Although this will bring certain risks, in Aaron's opinion, this is a very worthwhile thing. Azeroth does not want to see the tragic future in Aaron's memory where Sargeras stabbed him with a sword. If such a thing really happens, Azeroth's awakening process will be interrupted, and it is not known how long it will take to recover.
To open Dark Portal, it is inevitable to deal with Stormwind City. For more than half a year after returning from Outland, Aaron is almost It can be said that I have always stayed in Stormwind City. Occasionally I will return to the north via the subway between Stormwind City and Ironforge, but most of the time I stay in this southern country.
During this time, he also met the seven-year-old Anduin. This poor child avoided the bad luck of losing his mother and is now growing up healthily.
It's just that at the moment when history has been greatly distorted, Aaron doesn't know whether Anduin will follow the Holy Light path in "official history" in the future. At least Varian is very interested in training his son to become a Warrior is as great as him and their ancestors. And the connection between Draenei and Alliance is not as close as it was in history. Anduin may not become a student of Velen.
Of course, Anduin, who was only seven years old, probably showed great interest in the power displayed by Aaron and other Holy Light users, perhaps because of his talent.
Aaron himself has privately had the idea of cultivating Anduin into a Paladin. Judging from his several attempts, Varian seems to have no objection to this, but it is still early to say this. Anduin is still young, and Aaron is busy restarting the work of Dark Portal.
In the meantime, Khadgar received the support of a group of mages in Dalaran to restart Karazhan, where they met Medivh who was hiding in the tower to recuperate with his mother.
After getting rid of the troubles of the fallen Titans, Medivh now just wants to hide quietly in his mage tower. In the process, he heard about Aaron's plan to reopen Dark Portal, and expressed a certain degree of concern about it.
But in the end he still chose to agree with this soul. Medivh, who had been wandering among Void for a long time, had some guesses about the identity of Aaron, and also knew that Aaron's actions might represent Following the will of a certain World-Soul, and having just recovered, he was not in much mood to pay attention to other things. He only provided the coordinates of a Draenor to help Khadgar restart Dark Portal.
In the end, Dark Portal was successfully opened, and Azeroth and Outland were reconnected. The ones most affected in this process were actually those Orcs who had already settled in Northrend, and they were finally able to return. Go back to your hometown and see those people who survived the Outland collapse. And these Orcs have been promoting the process of bringing those compatriots who are in danger back to Azeroth, but this has been opposed by Draenei.
The prophet actually has no opinion on this matter, but most Draenei are always wary of Orcs, especially these Orcs now also live in Northrend.
This made Draenei deeply uneasy, but after seeing the power of Titan-forged's army, Draenei chose to believe in Aaron's promise. They felt that with such an army on their side, Orcs should not be able to make any waves.
Apart from this, basically nothing major happened to Azeroth. Only Illidan finally began to advance the conquest of the entire Outland and was planning his own crazy plan. He knew all this but was unwilling to interfere with it. Aaron finally spent a relatively stable year until he got a piece of news at a regular remote meeting of the Alliance. Stormwind City reappeared traces of Scourge's activities.
