As the smallest of the six human kingdoms in Lordaeron, the Kingdom of Alterac refers to the smallest land area, but it is by no means the weakest. Since the death of Emperor Thoradin, the Arathor Empire fell apart, and the Arathor nobles who traveled north established many city-states. In fact, it was only in the past hundred years that city-states began to merge into kingdoms.
After it was confirmed that the direct descendants of Emperor Thoradin established the Kingdom of Stormwind in a place called Elwyn, Lordaeron's former courtiers dared to blatantly call themselves kings, because their emperor had given up the empire on his own. crown. Although no one cares anymore, no one wants to be attacked by a group.
As the first large city built by humans north of Thoradin's Wall after the empire split, Lordaeron has a special place in the hearts of all the people of Lordaeron. Even the continent of Lordaeron is famous for this city. Occupying the city of Lordaeron, the Menethil family has an absolute prestige advantage. After two generations of efforts by Tenaris and his father, the Kingdom of Lordaeron has the largest territory, largest population, strongest strength, and highest prestige.
Followed by the two kingdoms of Gilneas and Kul Tiras, their kings were elected by the noble council. Gilneas is often underestimated. In fact, it is the third largest human kingdom in terms of territory, second only to the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Its territory covers Burnwood Village in the south of Silverpine Forest, Ambermere and its southern parts. , and the entire Gilneas Peninsula. The entire territory of Gilneas is close to the sea, and there is a special kind of reef called "Biting Reef" growing around the coastline. This has seriously restricted the maritime trade of the Kingdom of Gilneas, and from Akibad Greymane to the current King Genn. Greymane all pursues isolationism, so the third largest country does not have the strength to match the strength of Lordaeron. Kul Tiras, under the leadership of the Proudmoore family, relies on the huge profits from ocean trade, the country is stable, and the people are prosperous (it is the country with the highest per capita GDP in Lordaeron.
The Kingdom of Dalaran is a mage kingdom controlled by the Kirin Tor, a mage organization. Its capital, Violet City, is a grand sight on earth, and its true power cannot be judged by pure national power.
Stromgarde controls most of the territory in the Arathi Highlands, but after the royal family of Arathor left, the Trollbane family was unwilling to admit that they had betrayed the royal family and still regarded themselves as loyal ministers of Thoradin. The current high lord Thoras. Trollbane became the king without a crown and controlled Stromgarde, the former capital of the Kingdom of Arathor.
The Kingdom of Alterac, which was the first kingdom to be independent of the Arathor Empire, made peace with the ancestors of the Barov family in the generation of Grandpa Aiden Perenold, and united a group of little brothers to occupy the mountain and become the king. However, for unknown reasons, the Perenold family built the city of Alterac in the mountains. This made not many people willing to follow them. This kingdom only has a size of about 100,000 people, more than half of which live in Alterac. In the fiefdom of the Barov family. However, the Kingdom of Alterac is rich in mineral deposits and forest resources. As the highest horse breed in Lordaeron, the Oakland Mountain Horse gives the Alterac cavalry an innate advantage. The high-altitude mountains have also sharpened the physique and will of the residents. The physical fitness of the residents of Alterac Mountain is much higher than that of their compatriots living in the hills and plains. There is a saying in the Royal Order of Alterac - we are the sons of the mountains, the wrath of the mountain gods, and the blue avalanche (the main color of the clothing of the members of the Royal Order of Alterac is Blue with gold.
Carlos once planned a plan to overthrow the Perenolde family by force when he was a child. However, after attending the king's birthday banquet in Alterante City and watching the military parade for the first time at the age of seven, Carlos returned to the center of Lake Keldaron. The first thing he did was to silently burn down the action plan he had drawn up behind closed doors based on his past life memories. As long as the Alterac Royal Knights still support their king, the Barov family alone cannot shake the rule of the Perenold family. Those knights of the Royal Knights are basically blue humanoid beasts. So Carlos began to train harder. With such an elite army, Aiden would surrender to the tribe out of fear. How powerful the orcs must be.
Arriving at Steinblade east of Alterac City three days earlier than the date agreed in Alex's summons, the armies of the noble lords were stationed in the surrounding suburbs.
King Aiden of Alterac's arrangement is very interesting. The ladies are having a dance party and enjoying delicious food in the city of Alterac surrounded by mountains. The army of noble lords is stationed in the suburbs. They ride horses and fight every day and hold barbecues. The king and nobles The lords gathered in the town of Steinblad every day for small meetings and quarrels.
There was no reason to discuss the matter during the daytime meeting. Everyone had their own agenda. Countless dirty hookups always happen at night, so aristocratic old men put thick powder on their faces to cover up the dark circles under their eyes.
When Carlos found his father, he realized that Alex had not had a good sleep in more than ten days. It was a rare excuse to greet his eldest son and he was catching up on his sleep.
"Lucen, there's no need to wake up father. I'm going for a walk and will be back at dinner time." After making arrangements, Carlos went to the tavern with only his personal attendant Todd and magic consultant Fang Brick, preparing to eat some decent food and inquire about news. .
"Uncle Brick, the combination of Alterac ham, alpine oatmeal bread slices, and snow rock goat cheese is a perfect match. Those rubes in Lordaeron who only know how to stuff sausages can't enjoy this kind of taste." De got the master's look in his eyes, and enthusiastically introduced the Alterac Kingdom's specialties and delicacies to the chef.
"Yeah, it's really delicious." Under Carlos' subtle influence, Fang Bian accepted the reasonable and low-pitched statement, and his way of speaking became more and more like Uncle Fang Brick in My Name is MT, which satisfied Carlos' evil in a small way. taste.
Carlos silently looked at his attribute panel, feeling more and more that the <Advanced Diplomatic Speech> skill was the real magic skill, and it also had its own information analysis capabilities, such as:
Prostitute: "I heard that their families are all in the royal city. How can those humanoid self-propelled seeders endure it? Even their attendants don't come to take care of the business. Are those big men popular with men recently? Do those soldiers every day My business is so tiring."
(The nobles conduct series and private transactions purposefully and have no time for breeding activities.
Blacksmith: "Repairing the knights' machetes and nailing horseshoes every day has dominated my life. I can make good money, but those knights are still picky and dislike my craftsmanship. Don't use it if you are afraid that the weapon will be damaged."
(The private fights among the lord's private soldiers were ordinary, and the weapons were much worn.
Miller: "Boss, the two hundred pounds of flour you asked for have been delivered to you. They are unloading at the back door. You can go and have a look. If there is no problem, we will settle the bill. The pack horses have been tired and a little fat these days. Let's go back." I have to feed more beans, but I don’t know whether I am making a profit or a loss.”
(A lot of people gathered near Steinblad. Judging from the amount of flour and the number of people dining on site, at least 500 people crowded into Guangcheng District.
After eating and drinking all afternoon, Carlos roughly understood the current situation.
What? Pay the bartender to inquire?
You must be sick, civilians know some top-secret information.
It would be nice to wait until my father wakes up to ask for first-hand information.
What a bunch of prodigal audience masters.
