City-State of Alterac

The City-State of Alterac  (in game spelled as ), otherwise known as the Reformed Kingdom of Alterac, or simply New Alterac, is a fledling provisional government of Alterac seeking to secure friendly relations between Alterac and the peoples of the Grand Alliance, although the independence and stabilization of Alterac comes first and foremost. The City-State formed shortly after the Second Arathi Civil War due to the loss of Tribereus Auralius and the subsequent split between various entities of Stromgarde's government. Those under Kormed Wolfheart, as loyal followers and gallant men and women of Alterac that side with the Grand Alliance, seek to restore Alterac to its former glory with the aid of the Alliance, to grow Alterac into a thriving, economically strong nation that can support itself, and to end the stigma the Perenoldes  cast upon Alterac following the  Second War.

Background
The City-State of Alterac came to exist after the Second Arathi Civil War, laying claim to Alterac  through the lineage of  Kormed Wolfheart  as the Duke of Wolfrun many years following his mother's execution at the hands of Aiden Perenolde, the traitorous King of Alterac, which casted a cloud of doubt in returning to his childhood nation which has been razed by the Alliance of Lordaeron at the behest of Uther the Lightbringer during Alterac's marshal law period and its subsequent interregnum. With Kormed leading the efforts in Alterac from Wolfrun, the Duke formed a sort of coalition of Alteraci that flocked to his house's banner, seeking to restore Alterac; after Kormed led the City-State to victory, and ultimately claiming Alterac City, a trait which Aiden Perenolde  nor  his son, the last Lord of Alterac,  could even boast, despite the two having the great ambition to reclaim their capital from the  Crushridge of Alterac. For this reason, the nation loved their new champion, the young Wolfheart, and, after a consensus (despite Kormed claiming beforehand he was the King-Claimant of Alterac's uncontested throne), ushered Kormed in as their population legitimized King to govern them as the Ruler of Alterac (a title which Aiden Perenolde held last before his subsequent house arrest).

Perhaps overly ambitious, which as the King of the Alteraci's ultimate bane, Kormed Wolfheart, who was a patriot of Alterac, had numerous disputes and clashes with the equally nationalistic Stromsmen  to the east, who were led by the Kormed's biological father,  Imperator Lionblood, who Kormed was the bastard of; perhaps this was a continuation of the struggles King Thoras Trollbane had against General Hath before the Second War. This wasn't nearly as bad a setback as one might be led to believe, though; it was from the success over the Stromsmen in the Forests of Hillsbrad, however, that brought the Wolfheart to seek an Arathor inspired imperialistic glory, and, in memory of the mighty roots of humanity that were unified and strong, especially in the North, under the Arathorian Empire, formed the Alterac-Hillsbrad Empire, which was a unified 'empire' (but in reality a loosely centralized confederacy of independent fiefdoms from the still wartorn an devastated Alterac and Hillsbrad regions) betwixt the future Hillsbrad Confederates (notably Galmone)  and New Alterac. Mayhaps to the eternal damnation of Kormed, his imperial ambitions collapsed upon itself within a matter of months; the Imperium failed, surrounded in a midst of controversies, heinous rumors about all sides involves, and behind-the-scenes politics, and the Duke of Wolfrun, to be remembered as a petty Emperor and perhaps even more noteworthy is his notoriety in history as Azeroth's shortest reigning Emperor (if people even would bestow such a mighty title upon Kormed's short reigning, never fully stabalized 'empire'), much to his dismay and damage to honor. After denouncing the empire as a doomed cause, and realizing that the dreams of a unified human species and their allies north of the Thandol Span would require much more than a weak bumpkin state of old Lordaeron and the archaic ruins Ruins of Alterac to inspire the ressurection of the currently decimated united northern kingdoms.



Objectives and Goals
The current objective of the City-State is to restore Alterac from the ruins of which it is and to aid its former monarch, Kormed Wolfheart, claim the throne of Alterac which is currently contested by  - and turn it into an economically thriving nation, with aspirations to revive its military to reprehend the lack of aid it provided in the Second War.



The City-State of Alterac primarily seeks the assistance of the Grand Alliance now more than ever, especially with its decline of power, but presses for unity of the Alterac people at any means in hopes of restoring the kingdom to former glory.

In the past, the Reformed Kingdom of Alterac used the ceasefire after the Siege of Orgrimmar to their advantage to rebuild Alterac, which was previously reclaimed by the Wolfheart's conquest without the threat of Forsaken and Frostwolf aggression. The City-State's military at this time is nothing more than devout Alteraci and supporters that constitutes a politically motivated militia force, seeking to rebuild and renovate the ruins of Alterac City and the rightful territories thereof which their beloved and new found monarch, Kormed Wolfheart, lost, which casted Alterac into its Interregnum  period.

Currently
The City-State faces a turmoil like no other. A schism between those in support of an Alteraci Republic, and those who pledge loyalty to the former King Kormed Wolfheart. The City-State shattered, and the future of Alterac is clouded in doubt. The countryside rampages with war, and Alterac's appearance matches that right after the Second War: turmoil, chaos, and civil war.

With the mighty Wolf returning to the scene of things with his subsequent homelessness thrust upon him and his people from the Argus Wake cultists, and therefore directly the Burning Legion, not to mention the Wake's lackeys, the Syndicate, the former nobles of Alterac, manipulated by the Burning Legion's kniving agents, and perhaps as devastatingly as the Argus Wake was the Banshee Queen in her conquest of the Northlands and the Frostwolf Clan's aid.
