How did we come to this ?

lecture no 3 conflicts Horde vs Alliance

###

Since Horde and Alliance have the same major enemy you can start to wonder why we fight with each other. Some reasons are simple like helve of axe, some are hidden in the past. I will start with most recent ones and move back in time.

Orcs vs Night Elves
After battle on Mount Hyjal where orcs and elves were united both races want to rebuild and arise their power and influence. Night elves want forests to reborn, orcs want good wood. The best close wood is in Ashenvale Forest which is ancient teritorry of night elves. And orcs will not wait for new forests to grow when battles await and Burnind Crusade can return any time as well.

Humans vs Forsaken
Around time of battle on Mount Hyjal undead Scourge almost wiped humans from nothern Eastern Kingdoms. Humans do not see much diference between undeads of Scourge and free-willed undead Forsaken. Wounds are fresh and it is deep rooted in humans culture that corpses should remain buried to prevent diseases what was proven during Scourge expansion. As well many members of both sides thinks "less them means more us".

Orcs vs Humans and Dwarves,Gnomes
When Sargeras opened Dark Portal directed by Burning Crusade orcs attecked humans and dwarves. Untill Sargeras human form was defeated orcs managed to conquare south of Eastern Kingdoms, close Dwarves and Gnomes in Ironforge, and fight to far north of continent. Even when migrating to Kalimdor group led by Thrall done it over humans dead bodies capturing their ships. It is woth to add that Thrall's - present orcs warchief - parents were slain by humans and Thrall was rised by humans to make him slave. Short unity for battle on Mount Hyjal made conflict little bit less tense.

Orcs vs Draenei
Before Dark Portal there were years of peacefull coexistance on orcs homeworld Draenor. Burning Crusade came there and manipulated orcs to slay dreanei. Dreanei were almost wiped, some fleed and crushed in Azeroth with not many positive thoughts about orcs.

Trolls vs Humans
High Elves rised city Quel'Thalas over trolls' sacred ground. Trolls thx to regeneration and number had big chance of winning but elves teached humans magic and used them in fight.

High Elves vs Night Elves
High Elves (most are now Blood Elves) are descended from the Highborne night elves. Highborn elves used magic from Well of Eternity freely and their lives and glory were to the Well connected. When rebelious Night Elves destroyed the Well - High Elves lost their capitol, princess, source of power, eternal life and some immunities and were banished from new shaped Kalimdorn for use of magic. Even if hate for night elves remains strong some high elves joined humans and Alliance.

Trolls vs Elves
Conflict reaching times before destruction of Well of Eternity. Trolls had great empires but elves used magic from Well of Eternity and destroyed those. Trolls never rebuilded their previous glory and hate for elves is still great.

Reasons for wars are many. Some swordmasters say "training makes masters". Elders can add "so wars will make us ready". With this thought lets end the lecture for moment to go make some fresh corpses.
