Tirisfal Glades is the most prosperous, richest, and most densely populated area in the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron, and it is also the location of the royal capital.
Ever since the Dark Portal first opened and thousands of furious greenskin orcs rushed out of Draenor to destroy Stormwind City, it has become the de facto political center of the Alliance.
Whether it is Varian Wrynn, the successor to the Kingdom of Stormwind who lost his home and once lived here temporarily, or the kings of Gilneas and Stromgarde, or the dwarves and gnomes, allies of humans, they have all visited here more than once.
They discussed with King Terenas in the magnificent palace of the royal capital how to deal with the common enemy and provide help to the refugees displaced by the war. In a true sense, they cooperated sincerely to overcome the difficulties together.
If the Alliance's role on the continent of the Eastern Kingdoms is somewhat similar to a United Nations plus military alliance, then the Royal Capital of Lordaeron located in Tirisfal Glades is equivalent to its headquarters.
And now King Terenas is the veritable leader of the alliance and the leader of the entire organization.
Although East Weald is being ravaged by the plague and the Scourge, countless civilians have either died and become undead or are taking ships to the sea to flee south.
But this place has not been affected at all. You can still see carriages filled with goods traveling between towns, bringing daily necessities and various specialties to local residents.
Businessmen traveling from north to south gathered around the royal capital, enjoying the prosperity of the Kingdom of Lordaeron that had never been destroyed by orc plunder.
No matter what product it is, as long as it enters the capital, it will be snapped up by wealthy nobles and citizens.
Compared to other places on this continent, the current Tirisfal Glades is simply a veritable paradise on earth.
Except for a very small number of wild beasts, civilians feel no threat at all.
Some upper-class ruling classes who are unaware that the danger has arrived will even declare to outsiders at banquets that even if the end of the world comes, the powerful Kingdom of Lordaeron will still maintain its current peace and prosperity.
Whether it is the plague and the undead that are raging in the north, or the orcs who have escaped from the concentration camps in the south, they are just scabies and will be completely eliminated in a short time.
Obviously, the victory in two orc wars and being unscathed have made the upper echelons of this country become both arrogant and arrogant.
Because many people in front of them have never truly felt the bloody cruelty of the orc war, and have not experienced how powerful it is when a human soldier faces an orc warrior who is much taller than himself, and has an overwhelming advantage in size and strength.
powerless;
Similarly, this group of people have never seen towns infected by the plague, villages dying bit by bit under painful torture, or the despair of watching their loved ones turn into undead and want to kill themselves.
The saying that people's joys and sorrows are not connected to each other is simply the best expression in the current capital of Lordaeron.
King Terenas's slow response to the plague and his hesitation on the orc issue are all manifestations and amplification of this group sentiment.
As for the doomsday prophecies and warnings issued by the last guardian Medivh, just take them as a joke.
After all, as long as the supreme ruler is not an idiot, he will not easily believe an unknown madman who talks nonsense, let alone lead the people across the endless sea to the unknown continent of Kalimdor.
You must know that Lordaeron is the largest country with a population of several million.
Not to mention how many ships would be needed to evacuate all these people, the number of horrific deaths that could be caused by accidentally encountering a storm could probably exceed the two Orc Wars combined.
What will so many people eat and drink after their families move ashore?
How to ensure the most basic survival without causing group riots or even cannibalism due to lack of food?
What should we do if a disease breaks out due to sanitary problems in the crowded and sealed environment on the ship?
How should you respond if you are attacked by local indigenous forces after landing ashore?
With the Kingdom of Lordaeron's current economic model based on agriculture and its backward feudal governance system, it is simply too difficult to complete this series of operations.
There are too many uncertainties in crossing the Endless Sea to Kalimdor, any one of which may lead to catastrophic consequences.
The reason why Thrall and Jaina dared to do this was because the latter mobilized half of the fleet from the sea powerhouse Kul Tiras and was familiar with the weather and routes at sea.
The former is purely because the number of orcs is small and it is easier to move around. Just grab a few ships and they will all be blocked.
Moreover, the orcs encountered a storm when crossing the Endless Sea. Some of them sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and some were blown away and landed in other places. In the end, less than half of them successfully followed Thrall to Kalimdor.
This shows how unreliable Medivh is. He has never fulfilled his duties as a guardian from beginning to end. He is obviously a mage but behaves like a magician. His thinking logic and language expression are almost zero. There is no such thing as any.
Explain what the Burning Legion is, why it invaded Azeroth, and the tragic ancient war 10,000 years ago.
It’s no wonder that when it comes to him, no ruler of a human country, including Dalaran, would have any good comments. Basically, there are only negative things to say.
So it was normal and rational for King Terenas to not follow Medivh's instructions.
As for Thrall, he probably felt that there was no room for the orcs to survive in the Eastern Kingdom, so he decided to go to another continent to establish a homeland for the orcs.
Jaina saw the Scourge of the Undead sweeping across the north and heading towards Dalaran, so she chose to cross the sea to Kalimdor under the order of her mentor Antony Dath.
In other words, from the standpoint of Thrall and Jaina, it may not be because of Medivh's prophecy that they chose to cross the sea, but more out of consideration of the current situation and their own interests.

With the arrival of Zuo Si, many things have begun to deviate from their original trajectories and are developing in unknown directions.
Although there has not yet been a major deviation in this timeline that would lead to the intervention of the Bronze Dragon Legion.
But as tens of thousands of people in the East Wilder region begin to migrate south, cities and villages will soon be established in the northern region of Stranglethorn Vale, slowly evolving into a brand new human kingdom.
He even inherited this name after the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordan.
By then, as long as the bronze dragon who manages this timeline is still alive, he will come to see what is going on.
That's why Zuo Si took huge risks to continuously strengthen the body he temporarily occupied, just to gain the strength to fight against the bronze dragon when it suddenly appeared.
Just when he had just arranged the population migration and followed Jaina to the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran to gain knowledge of arcane magic, the Lightbringer Uther had already arrived at Tirisfal Glades on a fast horse day and night.
The royal capital of Lordaeron.
He was so exhausted that he didn't even dare to rest. He immediately met King Terenas and told him about the massacre of Prince Arthas in Stratholme and the disappearance and hiding of the Scourge with hundreds of thousands of skeletons.
Condition.
But the interesting thing is that, whether he forgot or deliberately chose to conceal it, the paladin did not take the initiative to mention in the report the large number of people who were fleeing the sea by boat.
Perhaps in Uther's eyes, even if these people escape from the kingdom, it is a hundred times better than being killed and turned into undead.
After all, Lordaeron currently really cannot mobilize enough troops to protect the East Wilder region.
"What? You mean... there are still hundreds of thousands or even millions of undead armies hiding in the land in the north of the kingdom?"
King Terenas suddenly stood up from the throne, his old face full of shock and disbelief.
Because in his original impression, the plague in the north and the undead sporadic attacks on towns were not threats at all, at least far from being comparable to the orcs raging in the south.
This is why he only gave Alsace a very small army, and later only managed to reach a few thousand through supplements along the way.
But now when I heard that the Curse Sect had hollowed out a dozen of the largest cemeteries in the East Weald region, resurrected hundreds of thousands or even millions of human remains into horrific undead, and quietly massacred hundreds of
In the village, His Majesty the King was trembling uncontrollably all over his body, as if he was suffering from Parkinson's syndrome.
Obviously, due to the dispersed villages and population, coupled with the slow and backward information transmission, the royal capital has never understood the true situation in the East Wilder region, and has not even received a few decent pieces of intelligence.
Whether it was the remains in the tombs that were hollowed out or a large number of villages that were abandoned, they actually knew nothing about it.
Even when news of the Stratholme tragedy came, King Terenas only felt that his son's approach was a bit too radical, and did not feel that plague and natural disasters were the biggest threats to the kingdom.
After all, on the surface, our side has been winning battle after battle, while the Scourge of the Undead is retreating steadily in front of the kingdom's invincible army.
Whether it was in Andorhal, Hearthglen, or Stratholme where the massacre broke out, it was the Kingdom of Lordaeron that ultimately won.
Even one of the masterminds behind the spread of the plague, Kel'Thuzad, the founder of the Cursed Sect, has been killed by the prince himself. The Dread Lord Mal'Ganis also fled to the Northrend continent in the far north.
No matter how you look at it, the crisis should have been resolved and the situation is looking good.
However, after listening to Uther's report, King Terenas, who had keen political intuition, finally realized the huge crisis hidden under the water and began to pace restlessly around the throne.
After several minutes, he took a deep breath to regain his composure, raised his head and asked in an extremely serious tone: "Where do you think these undead armies will be hiding? What evil plans do they have?"
Uther smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sorry, Your Majesty, I'm not sure either.
The area of ​​East Weald is really huge. Dense forests and inaccessible mountainous areas alone occupy more than 60% of the area. There are also many savage and bloodthirsty trolls.
In addition, the undead do not need food, supplies, or water at all, and they do not even make the slightest sound when hiding. It may be very, very difficult to find traces of the enemy.
In fact, if someone hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed that the necropolises in Stratholme and many other areas had been hollowed out.
Obviously, the current situation of the kingdom is not optimistic.
And I think plagues and undead natural disasters are greater threats than orcs.
Although the latter will also loot towns and massacre unarmed civilians, at least they will not pull up the corpses and turn them into the living dead.
You may consider transferring some troops from the south to the north to build defense.
I believe that after knowing the true situation of the undead natural disaster, all the countries in the alliance will understand the decision you made out of necessity."
"You just mentioned that someone reminded you? Who is this person?"
King Terenas quickly asked with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
