Proud to be a Human

Strange posters and even more curious pamphlets started circulating in the city of Stormwind, and slowly spreading throughout the countryside as well. It remains to be seen whether they will have the desired effect.

We are the sons of Thoradin

The orcs may have their brutish strength, the trolls their unholy regeneration and beast-like agility, the Dragons their insurmountable power and cunning, the demons their unholy vileness and duplicity - but Humanity has overcome these foes over and over again! It is the power of our human spirit that drives us onwards: a human will never submit, never surrender, never relent untill victory is achieved!

This drive for victory and unbreakable will to succeed has allowed our merchants to conquer the seas, our farmers to settle every corner of the world, no matter how inhospitable, and our soldiers to triumph on every front. This spirit drove Thoradin to forge an empire and Uther the Lightbringer to fight and protect it; and this spirit burns in you too!

Work as our ancestors did
King Thoradin forged his empire with the help of his brothers and sisters in arms, who fought on the battlefield and labored on the land. We are no worse than our ancestors; we can till the land, mine metal and forge swords as well as they did! Lands of humanity are vast and fertile, and let no man remain idle and jobless! Take an axe in hand and fell the trees untill there is enough land for you to till and enough lumber to build your house. Our ancestors raised Stromgarde out of the hostile lands, you too can tame the wilds to make your livelihood!

Sacrifice for Victory
Walls of ancient Stromgarde stand somber over the pale Highland homeland of our ancestors, ancient keep of Thoradin towers over the city, impregnable, simple and stoic like the men who built it. We are a warrior-people who take our land and die to defend it! We do not need lavish feasts and domes of gold, silken garbs and ornate swords! Cold steed, rough rock, ancient wood and coarse linen are the materials with which Thoradin conquered an empire, and we need nothing else! Every feast is a theft from the front, every luxury a betrayal of our soldiers! Live simple, live hard, tolerate no wimps - tough life breeds tough men!

Protect your homeland
This is your kingdom, conquered by your ancestors form the trolls and liberated from the wilds; If you will not protect it, nobody else will do it for you! The Horde and the Dragon will take away from us that which is ours by birthright, they seek to defile the land in which rest the bones of our ancestors and that has been taken by blood and built up by sweat! What is worse, there are those who profiteer from our misfortunes - the criminals who contribute nothing and take all. It is your duty to protect the Kingdom! We shall tolerate no criminals, we shall not allow them to defile our proud legacy, we shall reveal them for what they are and we shall bring them to justice and vanquish their kind from this kingdom!

Be proud to be a human
Our city is over-run with Elves and Draenei, and many of us are more interessted in their culture than ours! The Dwarves rampaged through our city with charges of Racism, and we let it slide. It is the duty of every human who is able to read to study the ancient history of our people and know the names of Thoradin, Therenas, Uther and Lothar! It is the duty of every human to protect the interests and values of Humanity from those who seek to mock them. If you will not protect our culture from infringement, then your children will grow up with Darnassian songs!


We are the sons of Thoradin, born to wield steel and fight for our rights, and we shall protect the lands of our ancestors with indominable will and a lion's fury!

Work hard and all becomes possible
Live simple, live hard
Ridicule all luxury
Do not tolerate crime
Fight to protect your homeland
Be proud of your ancient legacy!

Actually Thoradin had no desendants.. Only kiddin'.. I know you mean metaphorically.

Lovely written. That's it, big up the Arathorian heritage!

Propaganda at it's best Well written! You try becoming a journalist IRL? The language is emotional and evocotive, and nice phrasing.

Thanks, and no I don't study to be a journalist.

Chapter believes in a grand human empire! Second Arathorian Empire ftw.

Well done, well done. Delusions, but well done!

Its not delusions, it is "Imagined history."

"Getting your history wrong is part of being a nation"

There should be more red, I agree. >

Tsk, written by a Draenei.

Oy! Oy! Someone's trying to step on our turf, heh? THe Second Empire is ours!

Humans were made to be used as slaves by the gnomes, for gnomecracy!

Nice read ^^

What...Scarlet Crusade was led by a demon, it makes PERFECT sense for a human-suprematist organization to be led by a Draenei! Right? RIGHT?

Human's are just tall Dwarves, but with smaller beards and considering a beard makes a dwarf, dwarves are therefore superior.

Lies and slander, In reality Dwarves are just very tall and hairy gnomes.

Anduin Lothar.

Anduin Lothar is dead, though. <Slaps Seiken on his right wrist>

...Obviously.

I was reffering to the idea that Thoradin had no heirs, or descendants, of which he obviously did in the finaly shape and form of Lothar.

That is true!

My apologies, my comment made a few months back on the first page was inaccurate. Although we know little, you are right that Lothar was Thoradin's descendant. However we are led to believe that he is a very distant relative as immediate heirs dispatched swiftly enough to give Igneas the crown.

...i must admit, i always have been rather curious how the switch in ruling family came about. suppose its one of those things that may never get Answered.

In them days? My theory is Thoradin died and was succeeded by a son/brother and then all they had was a daughter. Men being above women she was unfit to rule and it went to Trollbane. That's my theory but as you say, the answer wil probably never be known.
