Chapter 138 Disagreements Among the Night Elves

Galin had never known which Alliance the Night Elves had joined. The only thing he knew was that they joined the Alliance under the guidance of Jaina, the Lord of Theramore, after the Ragnarok campaign.

In the past, Garin had always wondered why the Night Elves joined the Alliance while the Cenarion Circle remained neutral. This doubt was finally explained in a conversation with Archdruid Fandral.

The reason why the Night Elves joined the Alliance was ultimately because of the Horde.

In the game, the hatred between the Night Elves and the Orcs was over logging in Ashenvale, but was that really the case?

It was true that the Night Elves revered nature, but the Night Elves who joined the Alliance were not the Druids of the Cenarion Circle, but the Night Elves Sentinel led by High Priest Tyrande.

As an organization that truly protects nature, the Cenarion Circle does not have such a great hatred for the Horde.

You know, even now, the Horde's logging of Ashenvale has not reached the point of no return. From the map, it can still be seen intuitively that most of Ashenvale has maintained towering trees.

In sharp contrast to what the orcs did in Ashenvale are the centaurs in Desolace, the quilboars in the Barrens and Durotar.

In the ancient Kalimdor continent, all the regions of Kalimdor were very fertile. The desert in southern Kalimdor was caused by the use of the Forge of Origin by the Ahn'Qiraj and the Tol'vir.

The degradation of Desolace, the Barrens and Durotar happened under the eyes of the night elves.

The centaurs and quilboars, these two races, destroyed Desolace, the Barrens and Durotar in central Kalimdor, not to mention the genocide of the tauren. But have you seen the night elves care or ask about it?

The answer is of course no. The night elves living in northern Kalimdor turned a blind eye to the destruction of the centaurs and quilboars.

The reason why the Horde orcs went to Ashenvale to cut wood was because the centaurs and quilboars had made Durotar and the Barrens too barren.

As a result, the night elves did not attack the centaurs and quilboars who were more destructive to the nature of Kalimdor, but instead fought against the Horde orcs vigorously. Why?

In addition to the fact that the centaurs and quilboars were the descendants of the forest demigods Cenarius and Agamaggan, there was another important reason, that is, no matter how much the centaurs and quilboars made trouble, they could not threaten the dominance of the night elves over Kalimdor.

The Horde orcs were different. The orcs, tauren, and darkspear trolls together had a population and strength that exceeded the night elves.

Although the night elves had an eternal lifespan, due to the influence of the druids' need to sleep, most of the time, the night elves men and women could hardly live together. Tyrande and Malfurion often met once every thousand years, not to mention other night elves men and women.

Coupled with the low desire for reproduction brought about by the long lifespan of the elves, this has led to the fact that the population of the night elves has not doubled in ten thousand years.

Even though the rest of the land of the tribe is very barren except for Mulgore where the tauren live, with the population and reproductive capacity of the tribe, it will not take long for the tribe to completely suppress the night elves and replace the night elves as the overlord of Kalimdor.

Although the high priest Tyrande Whisperwind has a very reckless personality, he has a strong desire for power. This can be seen from the abolition of Jarod Shadowsong's army and the establishment of the Night Elf Sentinel Force, which is only under his control and command.

Although his personality is flawed, the high priest Tyrande Whisperwind, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, deeply understands that the tribe is a great threat to the hegemony of the night elves and Kalimdor.

This is why it was not the night elf druids of the Cenarion Circle who fought against the Warsong Clan orcs in Ashenvale, but the night elf sentinels.

The character of the night elf druids can be summarized as being non-confrontational. They put their minds on the Emerald Dream, which led to the Cenarion Circle not paying any attention to the rising tribe.

They don't care whether the tribe will threaten their dominance over Kalimdor, as long as they don't disturb them from going to the Emerald Dream.

After losing the blessing of the Well of Eternity and the guardian dragon, the night elves fell into weakness again. Without eternal life and a body that is immune to all poisons, they will inevitably fall into a disadvantage in the battle with the tribe.

Then finding an ally to check and balance the tribe became the key.

Throughout Azeroth, there is no existence more suitable for checking and balancing the tribe than the Alliance.

The core of the Alliance is located in the Eastern Kingdoms. No matter how they develop, they will not threaten the dominance of the night elves over Kalimdor.

The only stronghold of the Alliance in Kalimdor is Theramore, founded by Archmage Jaina. The population and military strength of Theramore determine that it is difficult for them to even control the Dustwallow Marsh, so how can they threaten the night elves?

In addition, the Alliance and the Horde have a blood feud, and the Alliance Stormwind King Varian Wrynn has a patricide with the Horde.

These reasons combined made High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind decide to temporarily cooperate with the Alliance.

High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind has absolute leadership over the Night Elf Sentinels, and the Night Elf Sentinels are completely loyal to High Priest Tyrande Whisperwind alone. Therefore, when joining the Alliance, they did not ask about the Cenarion Circle, which also ruled the Night Elves.

Archdruid Fandral Staghelm also understood the threat of the orcs. The huge population of the tribe, living in such a barren land, would inevitably lead to a war for resources.

However, Archdruid Fandral did not agree with Archpriest Tyrande Whisperwind's plan to join the Alliance and fight against the tribe together.

Compared with Archpriest Tyrande Whisperwind, who only cared about the land of Kalimdor, Archdruid Fandral Staghelm had set foot on most of the new continents of Azeroth after the Great Shattering.

The Seradan in the Hinterlands, the Dawn Forest in Duskwood, and the World Tree in Grizzly Hills in Northrend were all created by the druids of the Cenarion Circle.

Therefore, Archdruid Fandral Staghelm understood the Alliance better than Archpriest Tyrande Whisperwind, or understood humans better.

Human greed and possessiveness for land are more terrifying than the tribe. Over thousands of years, humans have expanded from the Arathi Highlands to the entire Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, and Kul Tiras overseas.

Although Theramore is only a colonial port now, it may become a new human kingdom in less than a hundred years.

In addition, the cooperation between the high elves of Quel'Thalas and humans has created the unstable and even counter-reaction factor of Dalaran.

If the night elves cooperate with the Alliance, or humans, they may end up like the high elves of Quel'Thalas, that is, they will be counter-reacted in the end.
