The other human kingdoms were drawn in as well including Stromgarde (Lordaeron Jr.), Alterac (trade hub), Gilneas (smug isolationists), and Kul Tiras (naval). They quickly changed their tune when the Horde rampaged through their lands and slaughtered their people. The Elves refused to see reason, and instead hid themselves away behind their magical runes despite the General of their great armies coming to the aid of mankind. The magical kingdom of Dalaran came as well, as they also realized the danger the Orcs posed since one of their own, a powerful mage named Medivh who was the head of a secret society, had intentionally lead the Orcs to the world while under demonic control. The wild Dwarves of the north, who rode giant gryphons, came after recognizing the threat the Horde presented. Lothar's ancestors were owed a debt by the Dwarves of the Ironforge mountain, and so the Dwarf king Magni Bronzebeard sent his brother Muradin. What few survived were lead by a man named Anduin Lothar, the champion of Stormwind, across the snows and seas to the other great human kingdom of Lordaeron, where the king named Terenas Menethil called a meeting of the world leaders. Azeroth, now known as Stormwind (the continent is Azeroth), fell and most of the inhabitants were slaughtered like livestock. In Warcraft 2, the canon turned out to be the Orcish end. Blizzard hadn't yet had a hit game, so it kept them afloat and enabled them to make a sequel. Overall it was an okay RTS game back in the day, but it hasn't aged well thanks to limitations of the time. Notably, unlike Warhammer which had changed their Orcs to asexual fungus apes, Warcraft still retained females as mentioned in the first game. Regardless of whether or not Warcraft was a stillborn Warhammer game, Warcraft still borrowed their green skinned Orcs from the Warhammer greenskins which had been the first. The plot was considered so unimportant back then that all of it was just improv by the narrator. Azeroth is the kingdom of men and knights, demon-worshiping Orcs came from a swamp one day, both sides want to wipe each other out. The plot of the game was simple, and the artistic style was mostly drawn from the sketchy scribblings of the viking enthusiast Chris Metzen. An ex-Blizzard developer came out with the truth several years ago. In actuality, it was intended by the marketing team in the middle of development to branch into other eras then, one guy said 'Why don't we just obtain the Warhammer licence?' This was highly unpopular with the development team and it was dropped. Thus Blizzard took the main concept of War hammer and created the game War craft. The Warcraft universe is a setting created by Blizzard Entertainment in 6 hours and 23 minutes way back in 1994, when (allegedly, as it has only been rumored and never proven) Games Workshop decided that Warhammer Fantasy didn't need a video game (to hear Blizzard tell it, it was a rejected fan game that GW refused to license).
