In addition to using careful tactics to make Sharlayan sideline without understanding the full story, Kane and Hamuul also mentioned their dealings with the Highmountain Tauren.
The Broken Isles are isolated in the middle of the endless sea, far away from the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor.
Suramar, who has inherited a lot of the Dark Night Empire's technological heritage, can travel between the two continents at will with the help of portals and ships. The Highmountain Tauren... they simply don't have the ability to build long-distance ships.
Unfortunately, the tauren of Kalimdor, known as the strongest army in Azeroth, are not good at making ships.
Without external help, it would not be easy for the distant relatives of these two groups of tauren to strengthen contact.
The tauren also participated in the ancient war 10,000 years ago. At that time, there was no difference between the so-called tauren of Kalimdor and the tauren of Highmountain.
Logically speaking, the indigenous residents of Kalimdor have also received enlightenment from the forest demigod Cenarius, and the relationship between the night elves and the tauren should have been very close.
However, this is not the case.
After the War of the Ancients, the ancient continent of Kalimdor was split into many continents and islands due to the explosion of the Well of Eternity.
The tauren clan to which Huon Highmountain belonged was unfortunately bombed into the middle of the sea along with the Broken Islands. Since they did not have the skills to travel long distances, they had been completely cut off from Kalimdor since then.
During the War of the Ancients, Huon Highmountain happened to save Malorne the White Deer's descendant, Etro the Elk, from the clutches of the demon.
In order to thank Huon Gaoling for saving his life, Aiteluo gave the essence of his power to Huon Gaoling and his tribe, turning their original horns into wide elk antlers. Tauren are better at ramming their enemies with their large horns.
From this, the Gaoling Tauren officially got their name.
The tauren clan that remained in Kalimdor were massacred by the centaurs in the years that followed, and the night elves under Tyrande's rule showed no reaction to this.
After all, they were comrades who had participated in the War of the Ancients, and were also apprentices of Cenarius. The night elves' indifferent attitude made the tauren very chilled, and the originally friendly relationship between the two races gradually drifted away.
When talking about this, Valeela said with some humor: "Well, in short, it is still Tyrande's fault. Fortunately, she is no longer in charge of the Dark Night Republic."
Sarlayan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It can be seen from the previous attitudes of Malfurion and Fandral that Tyrande has been unanimously marginalized by other colleagues in the Dark Night Parliament."
"Now she can only be responsible for clerical affairs related to the Church of the Moon. Even Tyrande's partner Malfurion dare not let her touch core government affairs anymore."
"Haha~" Valeera said with a half-smile: "From the perspective of the high elves, we should actually be grateful to Tyrande for his cooking operations during these ten thousand years, otherwise God knows how powerful the night elves would be."
"If they are allowed to continue to develop during these ten thousand years, other races may have no way of survival at all and will have to struggle to survive under the shadow of the night elves, and we high elves are no exception."
Objectively speaking, the high elves had just crossed the sea and arrived in the Eastern Kingdom... and even in the early days of the founding of the kingdom, they had not been living a good life.
Quel'Thalas really entered a period of rapid development only after it cooperated with the Arathor Empire and completely broke the spine of the forest trolls through that soul-stirring troll war.
Before that, Quel'Thalas had been living in the shadow of the trolls, and several Sun Kings had died on the battlefield. At that time, the Amani Empire was the undisputed overlord of the Eastern Kingdoms.
Compared with Quel'Thalas, the night elves have not experienced any major turmoil since the end of the Satyr War until the beginning of the Quicksand War. At most, there was only one overturn of Fandral's tree planting.
Sarlayan and Valeera counted the time on their fingers.
The War of Satyr ended around 9300 BC before the Black Gate, and the first Battle of Quicksand took place around 975 BC. The more than 8,000 years in between should have been enough for the night elves to develop into an empire spanning the two continents. giant.
However, in fact, this matter of course did not happen.
Under Tyrande's "wise" leadership, although the night elves' national power has not regressed, its growth has been really limited, far from reaching Sharlayan's expectations for them.
Thanks to Tyrande's short-sightedness, Quel'Thalas, which was hiding in the northernmost part of the Eastern Kingdom and developing in a hurry, could reach the scale it is today.
And this is under the premise that the Sun Chaser royal family and the Silver Moon Council are desperately fighting internal conflicts.
That's a bit far.
All in all, neither the Kalimdor tauren nor the Highmountain tauren have the ability to travel far. After private discussions between the war chiefs of both sides, they chose to turn to the Nightborne of Suramar for help.
Night Elf? The dogs paid no attention.
Malfurion has been trying to repair the relationship with the tauren since he came to power, but the three feet of ice will not last in a day. He wants the tauren to forgive the night elves for not saving them. Malfurion...or maybe that time The Night Council still has a long way to go.
Compared with the cold and callous night elves, the nightborne's attitude towards the tauren is obviously much better.
For the past 10,000 years, Suramar has been shrouded in the magical barrier supported by the Nightwell, and diplomatic exchanges between the two sides have been interrupted.
Ever since the Nightborne opened the barrier and re-contacted the world, Elisande had delegated the authority to oversee Suramar affairs to Chief Arcanist Thalyssra for a long time, and he was only responsible for the reconstruction of Nar'thalas Academy.
Although Elisande didn't say it, Talisa and her other advisors knew that the Grand Magister wanted to use this behavior to express his apology, and at the same time lower his body to learn other people's management skills.
There is a saying, although in terms of personal strength comparison, Talisa is far inferior to Elisande who has reached the pinnacle of mortals, but in terms of human sophistication and governance skills, Talisa did teach Elisande a lot .
Not long after Suramar opened the city, Thalyssra took the initiative to send a diplomatic team to try to re-establish friendly relations with Suramar's neighbors.
Needless to say, Azsuna has Elisande personally taking charge of rebuilding Narthalas Academy, and with the active cooperation of Azsuna's Night Watch, the process is progressing smoothly.
After the Night's Watch got rid of the curse and were reborn in the Shadow Realm, the Nightborne naturally regained the territory of Azsuna as their own.
The Vrykul in Stormfjord are relatively troublesome. The Vrykul distributed in the fjord area are composed of many different clans, each with different stances and styles of behavior.
The largest vrykul clan in Stormheim is the Tidestealer, ruled by a queen named Bretta.
In the early years, Sarlayan, with the assistance of the Tidestealer clan led by Bretta, opened the door to the Abyss of Hell, defeated Hela, the God of Death, and lifted half of the seals on Odin and the Hall of Valor.
In the war between the Tidestealer clan and Kvaldir, Queen Bretta contributed a lot. Afterwards, Sarlayan kept his promise and helped her quell the civil strife in the Tidestealer clan.
But... the internal fighting of the Mianchao clan did not end there.
In that melee, the eldest Vodgar, the second eldest Udgar and the third Agnor among the four husband-killing sons of Breta were all treacherously stabbed to death by the youngest but most sinister Skovard. .
After the war, Queen Britta took the opportunity to reclaim part of the three territories, but Skovard, who had demonstrated his bravery and resourcefulness through this war, also took the opportunity to rise.
Today, the forces under Skovald are able to compete with Queen Breta, known as the Valkyrie, and the mother and son fight in Stormheim.
Odin? The old gangster will only be happy to see this happen.
His heroic warriors select the souls of the Vrykul with the strongest fighting ability to ascend to the Hall of Valor. The more Vrykul die, the stronger the heroic warriors under Odin will be.
The chief manager with a bad personality has been using this method of cultivating worms to make a sustainable profit.
Compared with Stormheim, where the situation is still complicated, Val’sharah has nothing to say.
At Malfurion's behest, the night elves in Val'sharah resumed diplomatic relations with Suramar.
Finally, there are the tauren of Highmountain. Compared to the night elves, who have a tepid attitude, the Nightborne and the tauren have established a good cooperative relationship, each getting what they need in bilateral trade.
After receiving a request from the Highmountain tauren to borrow a ship for long-term travel between the Eastern Kingdom and the Broken Isles, Talisa, who was acting on behalf of Elisande to govern, weighed the pros and cons and quickly agreed to their deal.
This is a very good deal and a very good deal.
Even if we don't mention the fact that the Nightborne can take this opportunity to get closer to the tauren of Kalimdor, the long-term benefits gained from using this trade route will make Suramar excited.
"Queen Britta..."
Speaking of the Vrykul Queen who had a strong personality but unfortunately encountered four regicides and rebellious sons, Valeera put her chin in her hand thoughtfully and said: "We promised her at the beginning that we would help the Miechao clan quell the civil strife, but unfortunately we failed. Solve the problem fundamentally.”
"Should we find a time to return to Stormheim and fulfill our promise to completely eliminate the treacherous son of Skovald?"
