The '''Alliance-Horde War''' is an intercontinental war that will begin shortly after the [[Cataclysm (event)|Cataclysm]], as part of the expansion set ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''.
 
 
[[Category:Forsaken]]
 
==Background==
 
Five years after the [[Battle for Mount Hyjal]], the fragile truce between the [[Horde]] and [[Alliance]] had all but evaporated. In the wake of the [[Third War]] and [[The Founding of Durotar]], the [[Forsaken]] entered a partnership of convenience with the Horde while the [[night elves]] and [[gnomes]] emerged from ages of solitude to join the Alliance. For another year the armistice held, though tensions continued to mount as worldwide conflicts drew the two sides closer to all-out war and fighting erupted in strategic [[battlegrounds]]. Despite these frequent skirmishes, the Horde and Alliance often set aside their differences and joined forces to face a number of threats. In time the [[blood elves]] and [[draenei]] led them through the [[Dark Portal]] to wage the [[War in Outland]] against the [[Burning Legion]].
 
 
Following the year-long campaign in [[Outland]], the Horde returned to Azeroth with a new ally in the [[Mag'har]], led by [[Garrosh Hellscream]]. Soon, the long-missing [[Varian Wrynn]] put an end to [[Onyxia]]'s schemes and returned to reclaim the throne of [[Stormwind]]. Attempts at diplomacy between [[Thrall]] and Wrynn soon fell apart as a peace conference in [[Theramore]] was ambushed by the [[Twilight's Hammer]]. Attention quickly turned northward, however, as the looming threat of the [[Lich King]] bore down on the mortal races of Azeroth.
 
 
Garrosh Hellscream and Varian Wrynn, appointed as the supreme commanders of the [[Horde Expedition]] and [[Alliance Vanguard]] respectively, who had previously butted heads in Theramore, led their forces to [[Northrend]] where they [[War against the Lich King|waged war against the Scourge]]. Though fighting a common enemy, tensions between the Horde and Alliance grew swiftly until spilling over after the [[Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate]]. During the resulting [[Battle for the Undercity]], Varian Wrynn, grief-stricken over the loss of [[Bolvar Fordragon]], and the state of the former [[Capital City]] of [[Lordaeron]], lashed out at Thrall and declared war against the Horde. Hostilities continued to escalate for the remainder of the [[War against the Lich King]], until the Lich King was finally defeated.
 
 
Three years have passed since the military forces of the Horde and Alliance first set foot on the shores of Northrend, and they now wage war amidst the [[Cataclysm (event)|disasters]] wrought by [[Deathwing]]'s return to the world. Thrall has left the Horde to lead the [[Earthen Ring]]'s efforts in preventing the [[Rift (Maelstrom)|rift]] beneath the [[Maelstrom]] from tearing apart the world, and has appointed Garrosh Hellscream as Warchief of the Horde in his absence. King Varian Wrynn, convinced that the Horde has remained unchecked for too long, continues to lead the Alliance.
 
 
==Conflicts==
 
===Eastern Kingdoms===
 
With the weakening of the [[Scourge]] after the War against the Lich King, the Alliance forces led by [[Thassarian]] have claimed the western part of [[Andorhal]], and the [[Forsaken]] forces led by [[Koltira Deathweaver]] have claimed the eastern part of the city. The two factions are currently fighting each other for control of the whole city.<ref name="WOR 17178">[http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17178-cataclysm-lore-details/ Cataclysm Lore Details - World of Raids Forums]</ref> During the [[Battle for Andorhal]], the Forsaken, their ranks bolstered by the use of the [[val'kyr]] to raise their slain foes, push the Alliance out of the city and claim Andorhal as their own.
 
 
By orders of the new Warchief of the Horde, [[Garrosh Hellscream]], the Forsaken mobilise and move into [[Gilneas]] to secure a port for the Horde in southern Lordaeron. The Gilneans, now transformed into [[worgen]], attempt to fight off the invaders as best they can. Eventually the [[night elf|night elves]] arrive in Gilneas, bringing both vital military aid and the truth behind the worgen curse. Likewise, Orcs reinforce the Forsaken forces, causing an escalation into an all-out battle between the Alliance and the Horde in the region. The Forsaken, against the orders of the Warchief to cease production, unleash their devastating [[New Plague|Forsaken Blight]] against Gilneas. Many of the survivors flee across the sea to [[Teldrassil]], where the night elves grant them sanctuary.
 
 
Even with [[Gilneas]] falling into the hands of the [[Forsaken]], the fighting between the Gilnean worgens and the Forsaken continues. Bloodfang worgen who had recently allied themselves with the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]], with the help of [[7th Legion]] reinforcements from [[Stormwind]], destroyed three Orc gunships that had arrived. The ships were full of supplies, weapons and soldiers.<ref>[[Quest:The Warchief's Fleet]]</ref> Later, the [[Forsaken]] kill some of the [[Hillsbrad]] refugees on [[Fenris Isle]] and resurrected them, bolstering Forsaken forces and somewhat making up for the loss of the three [[Orc]] gunships.<ref>[[Quest:Rise, Forsaken]]</ref> However, after this attack, many of the Hillsbrad refugees decide to take the Worgen curse offered by Darius, rather than be resurrected as Forsaken.
 
 
A convoy of [[Veteran Forsaken Trooper]]s and [[Forsaken]] catapults were ambushed by the [[Bloodfang pack]] while attempting to cross [[Olsen's Farthing]] in [[Silverpine Forest]]. The ambush results in all those [[Forsaken]] troopers being killed and the destruction of the [[Forsaken]] catapults.<ref>[[Quest:Honor the Dead (Silverpine Forest)]]</ref> [[Warlord Torok]] sent Sea Dogs to fight the [[Hillsbrad]] [[Worgen]] that were swimming to the [[Decrepit Fields]] from [[Fenris Isle]]. The Sea Dogs attacked the Hillsbrad Worgen but were defeated. Most of the attacking Sea Dogs were killed but some of the Sea Dogs survived the skirmish.<ref>[[Quest:Hair of the Dog]]</ref>
 
 
[[Druids]] in the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]] used their bear form in guerilla warfare against [[Horde]] forces at the [[Forsaken Front]], which resulted in the loss of a few Horde battalions. Eventually the Horde forces learn of this tactic, and it becomes ineffective after counter-measures are implemented.<ref>[[Quest:A Wolf in Bear's Clothing]]</ref>
 
 
In the [[Twin Peaks]] near [[Grim Batol]] in the [[Twilight Highlands]], the dwarven [[Wildhammer clan]] and the orcish [[Dragonmaw clan]], having recently rejoining the Horde, battle for control of this strategic mountainous region. The Twin Peaks are crucial for staging effective offensives against the [[black dragonflight]] and the [[Twilight's Hammer]], who currently control the Twilight Highlands.<ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/twinpeaks.html World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Features - Twin Peaks Battleground]</ref> To the south, the humans of [[Marshtide Watch]] battle the [[Stonard]] [[Orc]]s in the [[Swamp of Sorrows]].
 
 
===Kalimdor===
 
All-out battles have erupted in the [[Barrens]], [[Ashenvale]], and the [[Stonetalon Mountains]]. Due to the [[Cataclysm (event)|Cataclysm]] the Barrens have been split into the Northern Barrens and the [[Southern Barrens]]. In the Southern Barrens [[Alliance]] forces have claimed the eastern part of the Southern Barrens while the [[Horde]] has claimed the western part of the Southern Barrens. In the eastern part of the Southern Barrens the Alliance has constructed new military outpost to solidify their control of eastern part of the Southern Barrens. The Horde in response to Alliance expansion has constructed new military bases to prevent further Alliance expansion into the Barrens. With the Southern Barrens split between Alliance controlled Southern eastern Barrens and with the Horde controlling the western part of the Southern Barrens, the central part of the Southern Barrens will become a war zone as the two factions fight for control of all of the Southern Barrens.<ref>''[[World of Warcraft: The Magazine Issue 2]]'', pg. 46</ref> It seems that the war in the [[Barrens]] is not just constricted to the [[Southern Barrens]]. In the [[Northern Barrens]], the Horde defensive post [[Mor'shan Rampart]] is under attack by the Alliance. Meanwhile [[Northwatch Hold]] is now under attack by Horde forces.<ref name="WoW Forums 19377467311">{{ref web |url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19377467311&sid=1 |title=Cataclysm Compilation (7/10) - E. Kingdom 2 |accessdate=2010-07-11 |author=Frejya}}</ref>
 
 
In [[Ashenvale]], the Horde has been recently able to conquer more of the ancient forest and have cut down even more trees. This allowed the Horde to wrest control of [[Silverwind Refuge]]. Meanwhile [[Zoram'gar Outpost]] has its defenses improved and air assaults from the outpost commence on the [[Night Elf]] village of [[Astranaar]]. [[Maestra's Post]], [[Raynewood Retreat]], and surrounding towers have also been attacked by the Horde. Despite Silverwind Refuge and other Alliance outposts being conquered by the Horde, Alliance forces led by the [[night elves]] have taken back certain parts of Ashenvale. [[Splintertree Post]] comes under ground assault by the Alliance, all Horde forces at the nearby road have been killed.<ref name="WoW Forums 19377467311" />
 
 
Off the coast of Kalimdor, on the [[Lost Isles]], and the island off [[Azshara]], the [[Bilgewater Cartel]] goblins with aid from stranded [[Orcs]] fight against Alliance forces and attempt to establish a new city to replace the loss of [[Kezan]].<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/media/</ref> In [[Azshara]] Alliance forces are attacking [[Valormok]], a largely undefended [[Horde]] outpost in Azshara.<ref name="WoW Forums 19377467311" />
 
 
===Great Sea===
 
The war even extends to the Great Sea where naval battles are fought for control of key trade routes.<ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/vashjir.html World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Features - Vashj'ir]</ref>
