Background

 

Lordaeron was originally one of the Seven Kingdoms that were formed from the human nation of Arathor. During the Second War, Lordaeron became the seat of human power thanks to the political efforts of Lord Anduin Lothar, leading the Alliance of Lordaeron in the aftermath of the first opening of the Dark Portal. The nation was almost entirely consumed by the Scourge during the Third War. Its former territory is now split between the Scourge, the Forsaken, and the few human survivors of the kingdom. It was most pious of the human nations before its annihilation, and a popular place of pilgrimage.

The name of the kingdom, its city, and the continent comes from the three main Alliance races languages here : lorn (in Dwarven), which means "land", daer (in Common), which means "people" and ronae (in Thalassian), which means "peaceful".

Lordaeron was ruled by the House of Menethil prior to its destruction.


The Alliance of Lordaeron

Following the opening of the Dark Portal, the nations of Azeroth and Khaz Modan were conquered by the Horde. The refugees from Azeroth, led by Lord Anduin Lothar, fled across the sea to Lordaeron. There, Lothar convinced the leaders of the human nations, as well as the dwarves of Ironforge, gnomes of Gnomeregan, and high elves of Quel'Thalas, to join forces in the Alliance of Lordaeron.

Under the leadership of King Terenas Menethil II and Lord Lothar, the Alliance was victorious, pushing the Horde back to the Dark Portal, and destroying the gateway to the orcs' homeworld. Lothar fell in the assault on Blackrock Spire, and with the loss of his political skill, rifts developed between the Alliance nations. The main issue of dispute was a tax levied by King Terenas to finance the internment of the orcs. Though Lordaeron attempted to retain its central role, several nations pulled their support from the Alliance.


The Scourge of Lordaeron

Following years of debate over the internment of the orcs, a plague appeared in the north of Lordaeron. As it spread throughout the towns and cities of Lordaeron, one after another fell to the Scourge, most notably Andorhal and Stratholme. Finally, with the corruption of the heir to the throne of Lordaeron, Prince Arthas Menethil, the capital city itself succumbed. In an ironic twist of fate, it was Lordaeron that lay in ruins, with refugees streaming to Khaz Modan and Azeroth.

Arthas briefly assumed the title of King, and ruled as an agent of the Scourge, before the eruption of a civil war between his forces, the remaining dreadlords, and the free undead led by Sylvanas Windrunner. Windrunner's forces, the Forsaken, achieved a victory over the dreadlords and Scourge, claiming the ruined former capital of Lordaeron (the "Ruins of Lordaeron"), under which they constructed the Undercity.


Lordaeron Territories

The kingdom of Lordaeron consisted of the Eastern Plaguelands, the Western Plaguelands, the Tirisfal Glades, the Hillsbrad Foothills, most of Silverpine Forest, and part of the Alterac Mountains (Chillwind Point, and the town of Strahnbrad). Also possibly North Lordaeron, which is currently a Closed Zone.


Modern Lordaeron

Of the original cities and towns of Lordaeron, only Southshore, the townships of Hillsbrad Fields and Pyrewood Village remain under the control of humans loyal to the Alliance and also the Azurelode Mine (even then, the residents of Pyrewood Village are not entirely human either).

Two small high elven outposts can also be found in the Eastern Plaguelands with Quel'Lithien Lodge and The Hinterlands Quel'Danil Lodge. These elves have stayed committed to the Alliance, and are hostile to the Horde.

The Forsaken exert control over the ruined capital city, Deathknell, Brill, Tarren Mill, and The Sepulcher.

The majority of Lordaeron's former territory is now the Plaguelands. The cities of Stratholme and Andorhal are dominated by the Scourge forces. Larger pockets of resistance are held by the Scarlet Crusade, including Tyr's Hand and Hearthglen and minor ones such as the Solliden Farmstead. The Argent Dawn also maintains a smaller presence, primarily at Chillwind Camp and Light's Hope Chapel, but with a few agents at the Bulwark and at a small camp near the Plaguewood.

The New Alliance of Lordaeron was made by Commander Hawer Willy Marcus of Lordaeron, it was time for the Alliance to wake up and remake the Alliance again, every one who was with The Old Alliance of Lordaeron are welcome to join again, all new Holy Orders around the World are welcome to join them.

The New Alliance of Lordaeron was made to help The Holy People and Lordaeron, The Alliance are going to fight side by side in Old Kingdom of Lordaeron and when the time come they will storm The Lich King and end all this, but for now they will build The Alliance up again.

Every leaders of Holy Orders shall contact Commander Hawer Willy Marcus of Lordaeron to join The New Alliance of Lordaeron.

 Respect

The first virtue taught is respect. While the Holy Light teaches that awareness of the self and the universe is a goal, one must also see the connection between others and the universe. Destroying other's happiness and severing other's connections with the universe is not serving the world's well being, and therefore not your own. The practitioners of the Holy Light are not naive, however, and understand that trial, conflict, war, and suffering do happen; but they strive to make the universe a better place in spite of these hindrances.  

Tenacity

The second virtue is tenacity. The adherence to this virtue is, incidentally, the part of training under the Holy Light that weeds out the unfaithful, as true dedication takes years. Fresh-faced acolytes often lose hope and the true meaning of the Holy Light when they realize that it takes a lifetime to serve the philosophy. The world is much bigger than one lone soul; and while the world can change a soul in a day, it takes much more time to change the world. Only through tenacity can a servant of the Holy Light hope to affect the universe. If some young students feel like this is an impossible task, others take heart in the realization that if you truly believe there is a connection between the self and the universe, one cannot help but affect the other, no matter the size. Affecting the world can include anything from teaching and instilling hope in others to joining with other like-minded individuals to work together to create a bigger change.

Compassion

After the first two concepts are mastered, the student can take on the final virtue: compassion. The connection between the self and the universe is strong, but it still is only one connection. If a follower of the Light serves another to increase his happiness, his bond with the universe grows stronger. The happiness he receives by helping someone also strengthens himself and the universe, and he is able to affect the universe even more.

Compassion is perhaps the most powerful - and most dangerous - virtue. If someone is too compassionate, he can give help where none is needed - or wanted. This oversight can hinder one's growth and happiness. Some helpers can be awkward and do more harm than good with their actions, increasing the suffering and unhappiness in the world. This is why compassion is taught last; only the wise and compassionate can identify who is truly in need and who can grow on their own.
