However, Moira did not leave. The curious princess was surprised that the rumored crazy and despicable rioters were so upright and loyal, and took the initiative to stay. He pestered Daglan regardless of the importance, and followed his team to Loch Modan, the Badlands, Searing Gorge and Blackstone Mountain;
Along the way, the unsettled Daglan threatened to kill her many times and left her in various places where it was difficult to find a way out. However, the princess who is smart and proficient in natural magic is not so easy to be thrown away, and will appear at the front of the team every time. In the end, Daglan gave up and let her follow.
As for the princess, she also saw what she wanted to know. She saw that the orcs who were said to be imbecile and bloodthirsty were actually highly civilized, modest and polite, and the low-caste Dark Iron and Wildhammer dwarves were not as vulgar, inferior and unreasonable as she had heard;
There is no distinction between people of all nationalities and surnames. It is completely different from what the royal family and the church preach. She had deep doubts about the education and information she had been receiving.
After arriving in Blackstone Mountain and seeing the equality, freedom, and the closeness of the army and the people in the rebel base, Moira was completely impressed. When she saw all the evidence that the Bronzebeard royal family had continuously sold the mineral resources of their hometown and the lives of their compatriots to mankind for many years, she felt deeply ashamed of her identity.
After some thought, Moira made the most important decision in her life: she would stay in Blackstone Mountain as a common dwarf.
At first, Moira was not trusted by the miners and common people as a member of the Bronzebeard royal family, but she soon won the respect with her practical actions;
She is smart, enthusiastic, contagious, and has outstanding talents in magic and language. As a pampered crown prince, he quickly changed and adapted to the life of a commoner. And in the subsequent series of construction and rescue missions, he brilliantly proved his worth.
In the end, even the most stubborn old miner had to admit that Bronzebeard was not a good thing, but Moira was a dazzling diamond.
As everyone knows, sparks gradually developed between the princess who gave up her identity and the young trade union president as they got along day and night and fought side by side. Their outstanding charisma allowed them to conquer each other. One year later, in Stargate Year 5, the two announced that they were married, and Moira got rid of the Bronzebeard surname.
After the news came out, the Ironforge royal family regarded it as a great shame and angrily expelled Moira from the royal family. However, King Magni had a deep affection for his only daughter. After crying profusely, he refused to issue an edict to change the heir to the throne. He refused to listen to anyone's advice;
Since Magni is in his prime by dwarf standards, and the royal family has long been immersed in expensive energy medicinal materials, his lifespan is extremely long, and it is not a problem to live for another thousand years. For a while, the issue of succession could not be involved, so the crown prince's matter was put on hold; he never thought that such an accident would happen later.
After the princess left, the king kept hypnotizing that his daughter had been kidnapped by the Dark Iron dwarves, and hired multiple teams of adventurers at a high price to rescue them. As you can imagine, these blind people either took the money and dispersed, or even lost the Black Stone. You can't even touch the mountain's gate. Afterwards, Magni ignored the government for many years and became ill due to his thoughts.
Since then, Daglan and Moira have become close, and the two seem to be a match made in heaven, and they jointly lead the miners' union. Under their rule, East Khaz Modan gradually recovered from years of trauma and flourished.
However, beauty is always so short-lived. One year later, in the 6th year of Black Gate, due to the counterattack of the Northern Alliance, the Orc Uprising finally failed.
Daglan led the Dark Iron dwarves who would rather die than surrender. After the Wildhammer tribe betrayed and surrendered to the enemy, he alone supported the remnant Orc army led by Orgrim and held on to Blackstone Mountain until the last moment.
When the Alliance army did not hesitate to use elemental focus bombs to destroy the fortress built by the rebels on the mountain, Dagran Thaurissan was killed along with many soldiers, and no bones were left.
At that time, the Alliance was unable to attack Blackstone Mountain for a long time. Even the commander-in-chief, King Lothar of the Second Dynasty of Arathor, was directly hit in the head by an uncalibrated sling that flew from thousands of yards away. Accidental death;
Finally, under the advice of a mysterious mage in the army, the Alliance army dug out materials from the nearby ruins of Uldaman, spent several weeks making a giant magic bomb, and dropped it on the Blackstone Mountain fortress using an airship.
It is said that this bomb comes from the top-secret technology of the ancient Titans, and the Titans once used it to deal with the ancient Zerg. The alliance commander originally didn't believe how powerful something made from scrap materials could be. Thinking of the best-case scenario, it would be great if he could blow a hole in the solid mountain fortress to frighten the will of the rebels and make it easier for his own troops to break in;
However, the final explosion was far more powerful than they could have imagined, and even exceeded the wildest dreams any of them had ever dreamed of.
After the giant light group broke through the clouds, half of the Redridge Mountains were melted. The shock wave covered the sky and pushed it thousands of miles away. The flora and fauna here were completely extinct, and the ecological environment of eastern Khaz Modan was completely changed. This flattened mountain range has since been called the Burning Plains.
Including the unlucky airship, there were even many Alliance troops that were too late to retreat and were engulfed by the shock wave. The remaining ones also suffered varying degrees of vision and skin burns.
Afterwards, the mysterious mage disappeared without a trace, and his name and identity were both proven to be forged. In order to shirk the responsibility for such a disastrous outcome and the evaporation of the established officers and soldiers, the alliance's top leaders had no choice but to bite back and accuse the Black Iron Rebel Army of causing this disaster by risking their own resistance and risking the summons of Nag'Saros, the king of the flame element. .
In fact, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that if the rebels really had such a weapon, even if they did not throw it away in Ironforge, how could Hede, a much closer place in Stormwind City, still stand safely today?
There are many rumors about elemental focus bombs and mysterious mages in later generations, most of which have no definite evidence and are speculations. Some people claim that the woodland where the Titan God King Tyr died has also found traces of similar explosions tens of thousands of years ago.
A few days after the disaster in Blackrock Mountain, Moira, who was on a mission far away in Nagrand, learned of the death of her husband and the soldiers. She was silent for a full quarter of an hour, then wiped away her tears and continued to lead the remaining resistance forces into underground activities. And after that, he sternly rejected Ironforge's persuasion to surrender many times;
The underground union spent more than ten years gathering resistance forces, and finally got the chance to rise up again when Master Alvin's workers revolted. Later, in order to prevent the motherland from being torn apart, Moira ventured to Ironforge to negotiate, but she did not want to encounter an incident and be imprisoned.
Both Stormwind City and Ironforge knew that the legal crown prince was a hot potato and difficult to deal with, and they frequently changed places of imprisonment within a year. With the shamelessness of the royal families of the two countries, it would not be surprising if news suddenly came out that the princess had died "accidentally" one day. The leaderless miners' union is extremely anxious and is trying to rescue it in many ways.
In addition, King Magni, who was blown to pieces before, was not actually completely dead;
During his lifetime, he studied ancient crystal diamond magic for a long time and conducted many experiments on himself; when he suffered a fatal blow, his body tissue was changed into a kind of magic crystal cluster. Therefore, it is difficult to tell whether the king died in the explosion or his own magic.
The Bronzebeard court mages spent months finding Magni's body parts that had been turned into crystals one by one, pieced them together, and relied on expensive crystallization magic to survive. It was announced that Magni, lying undead in his coffin, was still the ruler of Khaz Modan.
In prison, Moira kept asking to see her father. Although he was not a qualified king, he was at least a good father and was her only concern in Ironforge for many years. But the royal family was afraid that she would take the opportunity to escape and refused every time.
This act of violent interference by the Kingdom of Storms in the internal affairs of other countries, and the chain reactions it caused, have not ended yet. After the incident, Stormwind City relied on subway and air transportation, and successively deployed several regiments to Ironforge to fortify the furnace supply line to ensure the safety. At this point, the Bronzebeard royal family has completely become a puppet of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
However, the situation was irreversible. With the ceasefire agreement in Khaz Modan completely invalidated, various tribes and local states and counties declared independence one after another, and a full-scale civil war broke out. Mordias and others were Khaz Modan refugees who were forced to leave their hometown due to the war and moved to the Western Wilds to seek a life.
Oster asked the circus dwarfs what they thought of the coup in their country. Most of them answered, "It's already difficult for ordinary people just to live. They don't care about politics and don't understand it."
Only Mordias pondered for a while and said, "Before I came to the country of humans, I thought it was a free place. But after I arrived, I always had a vague feeling that this place, like my hometown, was being invaded by some kind of foreign force. , or controlled by high-level forces;
The seemingly abnormal events are not isolated, but there is a hidden thread that connects them. I dare say that if things continue as they are in Stormwind Kingdom, it will be the next Khaz Modan. "
