World of Warcraft: Naval Supremacy

Cultural Awareness

As penance for my long absence due to school and family matters, I will release this chapter, to help the story go further. This chapter will be a bit long, but I will try to add detail. Thank you!

To add in further details, I got hooked into grinding Heroes of the Storm, World of Warships, Dota 2, and even CS:GO. These kinda dragged me into not doing other stuff for about 2 months. So please forgive me for this long time of inactivity.

The escort was close to Stormwind, being near exhausted to the point of collapse, and from afar, he could see the city from the Burning Steppes. He mustered every bit of strength he had, and marched on despite the fatigue.

Dinner Continuation

Every sailor and marine serving under and with the United States Navy were having a rather nice evening compared to yesterday's fiasco. Plans of the Westfall base were being further refined by the teams' respective leaders and representatives. Strangely, Lady Prestor was not present, but due to her ominous and cancelling nature, they mostly did not mind.

Now, they were going to have a conversation about their different cultures over this evening, and it would be an interesting one at that. The conversation became largely focused between Bolvar Fordragon and Admiral Doran. 

Admiral Doran & Highlord Fordragon POV

"As I implied earlier, admiral, how would you have the base in Westfall be made? And to what specifications? We will try to press on despite the significant shortage of menial laborers."

"Don't worry, highlord. It would be kept simple enough. Now, why do you have a shortage of workers? That makes me curious."

"Remember when I mentioned the bandits? A large portion of them used to be our workers, and they turned on us. Now, the story is, that the nobles and the laborers had an argument. They wouldn't back down on their stance."

"Hold on, now that is quite disturbing. Why did they have an argument? Surely there must have been something that escalated the situation to that level."

"The nobles said they weren't satisfied with the craftsmanship of the laborers, and the laborers demanded they get paid for their honest work. You see, the number of workers that we had back then was the size of a small army. They belonged to a group called the Stonemasons Guild."

"I could say that this is getting somewhere. Carry on, highlord. I want to be well-informed of your political matters."

"According to one of the kingdom's trusted men, Sir Mathias Shaw, he said that the nobles had racked up a huge debt expanding the kingdom's military presence into the woods and forests beyond the borders of this kingdom. As a result, they couldn't pay the laborers their wages."

"Wait, wait, wait. What did the laborers build to demand this much attention? A grand project?"

"That project, admiral, is this kingdom."

"Now that is starting to make more sense. What else can you add in?"

"We had wars back then with the Horde, and because of the war we call the Second War, Stormwind was left in ruins. The Stonemasons, with their leader Edwin VanCleef, helped in rebuilding the kingdom, making it better than before."

"Then why did an argument ensue? Were the nobles not satisfied or something?"

"A few nobles have claimed that they were not satisfied. With the matter of debt in hand, and a combination of political confusion, a riot broke out. This was an important moment. King Varian was trying his best to keep the peace at hand with his wife, Queen Tiffin, advocating for support. However, one of the rioters had thrown a rock to Queen Tiffin's head."
