Lyanda Sunstrider, Thalayan had heard this name from Kael'thas.
Due to the low birth rate of the high elves, Kael'thas has only one direct descendant of the Sunstrider royal family in his generation.
Although Lianda can also bear the surname Sunstrider, her blood relationship with Kael'thas is already very weak, and they are not even close relatives.
Before the Sunstriders established Quel'Thalas, they were a relatively well-known family among the upper elves, with quite a few branch members.
Lianda's ancestors and Dath'Remar are brothers. In barrage terms, Kael'thas and Lianda's generation have already been in five servers.
The problem of the thin population of the Sunstrider family has aroused the vigilance of all walks of life in Quel'Thalas.
Since Dath'Remar, the Sunstrider family has been ruling Quel'Thalas conscientiously. Even if the Silver Moon Council repeatedly slandered the Sunstrider family's reputation, it has not been able to shake their status in the hearts of the high elves.
Once Kael'thas dies due to an accident, there will be no one who can take over the throne among the direct members of the Sunstrider family.
This is why Anasteria applauded Sarlayan's genetic engineering plan when they learned of it.
From the beginning to now, the progress of Inas's genetic engineering research cannot be said to be smooth sailing, but at least there is no need to worry about resources, there is definitely enough.
For a high elf with a long lifespan, Kael'thas is still very young, and there is still enough time to wait for the day when Inas comes up with the research results.
High elves with plenty of time are not afraid of waiting, but are afraid of not seeing hope.
Just like the sad-looking King of Stormwind Kingdom in front of Sarlayan.
King Llane died young, leaving only Varian, his biological child.
This is obviously not normal and unsafe for humans who have a high fertility rate compared to high elves.
Once Varian dies unexpectedly due to unexpected circumstances, in order to maintain the authority of House Wrynn, the position of king will inevitably fall into the hands of other branches of House Wrynn.
According to Varian himself, he has two princely uncles and two married aunts who are eyeing the throne.
The reason why the nobles of Stormwind Kingdom dare to be so arrogant now is because there are inevitably those Wrynn's side who covet the throne behind them.
When they first got married, Varian disliked Queen Tiffin for being of too low a background, and she didn't have much in common with him.
Queen Tiffin came from a little-known aristocratic family. Due to the different educations she received since childhood, the relationship between her and Varian was very tense when they first got married.
But now Varian must be grateful that his father, King Lion, left behind a wise decision. Fortunately, he did not hand over the position of queen to those powerful nobles. Otherwise... he is probably a trustworthy person in the harem of Stormwind Fortress. Can't be found.
Varian's problems were even worse than those of the Sunstrider royal family.
In addition to still holding military power, Varian could not find many ministers he could truly trust in the vast Stormwind Kingdom.
Sarlayan was not a soft-hearted person. Varian deliberately sneaked out of the palace to question him. He did not hide it and suggested that Varian directly strike hard.
With the support of Gavin Rad, the Wrynn royal family still holds military power, which means that those nobles can only use dirty political methods to force Varian to give in step by step.
Varian is not stupid, he can clearly see the undercurrents in Stormwind Fortress.
Queen Tiffin was suddenly assassinated the last time she went out to visit the Masons who were rebuilding Stormwind City.
Varian was furious when he learned the news. The members of the Masonic Brotherhood were almost thrown into prison and tortured for interrogation. However, it was Queen Tiffin herself who persuaded Varian to calm down his anger.
The reason why the queen personally came to express condolences to the Masons' Brotherhood was because the nobles were reluctant to fulfill their original promises and did not want to use money to pay the wages of the craftsmen. This led to angry protests by the craftsmen who were owed wages.
Varian would like to give it, but the kingdom's treasury, which is in dire need, cannot provide the money for the time being.
At the beginning, the nobles patted their chests and promised that they would pay for the funds, but when the end came, they suddenly went back on their word, making Varian and Tiffin very angry.
There was obviously another mastermind behind this assassination, and it was not an intentional act by the Masons.
Queen Tiffin saw clearly and did not embarrass the poor craftsmen who could not get their wages. She even took the initiative to summon Edwin Van Cleef, the leader of the Masons' Brotherhood after the assassination, and told the family leader the truth about the unpaid wages. The head craftsman of the mouth.
This diversion of trouble temporarily alleviated the pressure and reputation crisis faced by the royal family, and successfully transferred the anger of the Masonic Brotherhood to the nobles who had gone back on their word.
According to the information provided by the barrage, Queen Tiffin died in this inexplicable riot in the original history.
Without Queen Tiffin as his good wife, Varian was furious and tried to kill all the stonemasons.
With the help of some "righteous men" who could not bear to kill innocent people, Edwin VanCleef led the Masonic Brotherhood to escape from prison and hid in the death mines of the western wilderness, transforming into the notorious Defias Brotherhood.
The turmoil in the Defias Brotherhood lasted for many years and had a very serious impact on the revival of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
The person who secretly incited the Mason Brotherhood to riot in the original history was very familiar to Sarlayan. It was the black dragon princess Onyxia who was currently chatting and wrangling with Valeera and Stellagosa.
Or... Countess Presto.
Latania's conspiracy skills are not as sophisticated as Onyxia's. She was not careful enough when planning the rebellion of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, and failed to kill Queen Tiffin with one blow, which led to a series of subsequent historical differences.
Sarlayan told Varian exactly what the consequences of Queen Tiffin's death might be, which really shocked him into a cold sweat.
Varian could not imagine how hysterical he would be without Tiffin's support. Maybe those conspirators would seize the opportunity and overthrow the throne in one fell swoop.
Some barrages raised questions at this time.
[No, I remember that Anduin was already born during the riots of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, right? 】
[Yes, this event was brought forward a few years. 】
[Obviously, the female black dragon named Latania was not patient enough and eagerly detonated the conflict before the anger of the Masons Brotherhood reached its peak. As a result, the conflict between the craftsmen and the royal family was not as intense as expected. 】
[Tiffin is not dead, and Varian will not give up on himself. It can be considered that he escaped. 】
【Blessings come from where misfortune lies, misfortunes come from blessings. 】
[Although he escaped the crisis of soul splitting, Varian also lost a lot of opportunities because of this. I am afraid it will be difficult to grow into the Supreme King of the Alliance who is respected by countless people. 】
【Harmful! If Varian were to choose, I think he would be more willing to save his wife's life than to grow up himself. 】
After escaping this disaster, Varian began to think about how to fight back.
Although Tiffin's trip to appease the Masons was no secret, the timing of the assassination was too clever, the time and place were just right.
If Pasonia Shore hadn't happened to be patrolling nearby, those assassins might have succeeded.
As a result, Varian's trust in the servants in Stormwind Keep plummeted, and he hid in Bolvar's home to secretly meet with Thalayan and seek advice from outsiders who had no domestic interests involved.
Varian in this timeline is still very immature. Sarlayan gave tough ideas to solve the problem, but he was worried about causing civil strife in the kingdom and could never make up his mind.
It wasn't until Sarlayan told a series of possible consequences of Queen Tiffin's death that Varian's demeanor changed noticeably.
"If we don't take action, they may continue to attack you and Queen Tiffin."
Sarlayan reminded seriously: "Is there any truth in this world that can prevent thieves for a thousand days? It is better to strike first and cut off their dog claws completely."
"Damn it! Those rebellious officials and thieves who have no king or father!"
Varian's eyes were filled with coldness. The safety of his family was at stake. He finally made up his mind to take a serious step to rectify the chaos of the nobility's monopoly on power within the kingdom.
Let’s talk about the domestic affairs of Stormwind Kingdom here for the time being.
Using the army to attack the nobles will inevitably trigger a new round of internal turmoil.
In order to divert the attention of the people as much as possible, Varian hopes to strengthen trade with Quel'Thalas and bring more novel goods produced by the high elves to the Kingdom of Stormwind.
"This issue... I don't dare to make an independent decision."
Sarlayan spread his hands and said, "I will convey your request to His Majesty Kael'thas, along with my personal suggestions. Ambassador Lorien Riyin will continue to contact you on subsequent matters."
"Your Majesty Varian, I came to Stormwind City this time for other important matters. I hope that I can get assistance from MI7 on this matter."
