You can´t help but be a bit nervous, you have never spoken in front of so many people before, but you steel yourself, step forward and you begin your speech.
"Over the last two years our country has suffered greatly, first the plague appeared, spreading through the towns and cities of our kingdom, killing our people and turning them undead, soon after the Scourge appeared, gathering those that was turned they assaulted our greatest cities and conquered them despite the best efforts of our armies."
"When Arthas returned from his expedition to Northrend, we were all overjoyed, the Scourge had stalled, they were disorganized and we were pushing them back, he had succeeded in his quest to slay the Scourge leader, but we were wrong, with his help the Scourge took over the Capital and killed most of its population. Over the next year he wiped out several towns and killed Uther the Lightbringer, led the Scourge against the elves and destroyed their capital as well as the Sunwell, he killed of the leaders of Dalaran and summoned demons to our world and when he returned here he tried to wipe any survivors out, before he left to Northrend again."
"But not all hope is lost, formed from the remnants of Lordaerons armies and the surviving paladins of the Silver Hand, the Scarlet Crusade is born, led by heroes such as Saidan Dathrohan, one of the original four paladins, and Alexandros Mograine, wielder of the blade Ashbringer. Our mission is to eradicate any and all undead and to restore Lordaeron to its former glory, but we cannot do it alone, we will need you, to grow the food we will eat, to make and repair the weapons and armor we will wield, to live your lives so that we know what we protect when we fight out there."

"I am Angelica Menethil, last surviving member of the Menethil line, and I will make this vow here and now, Lordaeron will rise again, stronger than ever before, the undead will be completely wiped out wherever they are and Arthas will be made to pay for his crimes."

"Your Grace, we found this man at the site where the explosion originated from, when questioned on what happened, he told us that he was working on a way to replicate the dwarven guns and that the explosion was the result of an unstable mix of gunpowder."
Nodding, you turn towards the man, if you were to guess you would say that he was in his mid-thirties, he was wearing sturdy clothing, which was covered by an overall, and a belt with assorted tools as well as goggles and a wielding mask on his head.
"What is your name?" you ask after looking him over.
"Aldan Nathon, at your service, your Majesty." he says bowing at his waist. "I am an Inventor, the best one in the world if I may say so, my inventions will one day change the world and one day with my inventions man will walk on one of the moons.
"Oh?" you can´t help but ask amused. "And how many inventions do you have that works?"
"Ehehehehe." He chuckles sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "None yet, but that will change soon, once I replace everything I lost in the explosion, sorry about that by the way, it won´t be long before I make the first human made gun.

Great start for the kingdom. Hopefully we can build some docks/shipyards on our Eastern coast.
Welp, there goes any chance of a peaceful resolution with Sylvanas' faction. Or peace with the Horde.

What do you mean i am not a real cowboy?
Fuck Sylvanas, the horde would be better off without them. They're squatters in our rightful kingdom and throne.
One thing that i do admire is what they did with the sewers, if we do take that back we're going to clean them and make it into an underground place.

Wait, we rolled a crit success and didn't improve our relationship with Brigitte?
They're kinda sitting on our capital city, so peace was highly unlikely to happen since I doubt Sylvanus is willing to leave peacefully.

Again, and let me be clear.
The Forsaken are nobody's friend. Their chief advantage is that they hate Arthas more then they hate the living. It literally required a bullshit handwave to include them into the modern day Horde, because they're pretty only marginally less evil then the Scourge (And even that's more because they're not a hiveminded bio-horde like the Scourge is. They'd probably be more successful if they were)
And on top of that, they're squatting on our capital city.
Individuals may be treated with on a case by case basis, because yes, there are a small handful of decent folk among their number, but on the whole, the Forsaken are almost universally a race of villains, and Trust should never be your first response to them, because the majority of their species will happily and gladly stab you in the back for some form of advantage, transient or otherwise, because their ability to feel anything but hate is atrophied, and they need to actively Try to be decent people, because it no longer comes naturally to any of them.
After all, Putress wasn't killed off because he murdered their own allies. He was killed off as Collaterl Damage because the Alliance's reprisal on the Undercity--Sylvanas' was only interested in dealing with the coup that happened alongside it--more likely, if she was left to her own devices, she'd just tuck Putress out of sight to get the plague right next time. And the Horde has no territorial ambitions in the Eastern Kingdoms as a matter of overall policy, and had backed them up in the past.

It's more than likely that rolls would have decided that, not anything set in stone. Probably a very high DC roll, but still. Also, merging with them might be possible for the common goal of revenge, though again, that would probably be very difficult.
Thanks for catching that, I will edit it.
We could make common ground with the Forsaken, which translates to let's go kill Arthas' Lich Necromancer because he's running a cult of death worshippers who seek to spread the plague and is sending agents into our ranks to mess things up. Even cooperating with the more moral lot of the Royal Apothecary Society in the name of SCIENCE!
Unfortunately there's two big elephants in the room, the first is that they're squatting in the sewers of the old capital and the second is tall with bat wings and horns. You can't trust a Dreadlord to watch your cat let alone loyally serve as Chancellor.

Yeah, those are two major sticking points.
And let's not forget that Sylvanas Still trusts a fucking Dreadlord in a position of power
This requires high tier delusion, or such short-sighted thinking that she figures he won't stab her in the back until Arthas is gone, rather then stabbing her in the back in a way that fucks over his enemies too. And he basically subverted the Royal Apocathery Society too.
And they won't abandon the Capital, because that would weaken them, and they're not good at accepting disadvantage for any reason, no matter how much it might pay off. The Forsaken are, in general, very bad at long-term planning.

Ahh, always feels good for every roll to succeed, especially when there are several excellent successes 
We've got excellent, non-crazy Intrigue and Learning advisors, a sweet sword and decent Martial now, delivered a great speech, are off to an excellent start resettling the farmlands, and we can start researching ways to counter the plague.

I think the reason she trusts that Dreadlord was because she made him "break" a taboo(killing another Dreadlord, he didn't but she doesn't know that) and now thinks he has no other place to go but to serve her.
Well I think she simply believes he has nowhere else to go. He's failed in keeping Arthas in line, lost his army and then 'killed' his 'brother' (from her pov) the Legion wouldn't want him back and everyone else...
Not to mention he is probably the best learning/intrigue advisor you could have with knowledge of a hell of juicy secrets to tell. We need to get rid of this guy... After we shove our boot so far up his arse light blares out through his mouth.

At least I think our Learning Advisor isn't mad, well evil crazy, a regular nutter with an obsession we can cope with.

Oh right, my mistake. He's the good kind of crazy
Medium long term we should probably look into taking alterac to threaten the capital and have a place to keep the majority of our population Taking out Anderhol should more or less be possible and if we can isolate Schoolomance and reduce the number of necromancers that be a major bonus that could make taking back more of the eastern plague land more vaible.

I think that without Sylvanas's super moany sad sad angry hate choking out most other opinions amongst the Forsaken, some could be some nice folks.
After all, some joined the Argent Crusade full time and others decided to just not join the Forsaken in canon.
Man, they could have played Slyvanas way better but she dived into derpy levels of evil and self-sabotage so fast it made my head spin.

Really makes one wonder why nobody's kicked her teeth in.
Well aside from her being the leader of a PC faction.
Honestly looking at how things are going I almost feel sorry for the orcs having to go through another redemption arc while another more blatantly evil faction within their own midst gets away scott free.
Semi-serious:
Makes you wonder if Varimathras was secretly corrupting her.
Also makes you wonder if the only reason his takeover at Wrathgate failed was because he didn't quite influence her enough.
Dreadlords are the masters of the manipulating/mind magic stuff.
Who knows.
Unfortunately there's no clear big Forsaken character to take her place, so they obviously aren't even close to lopping her her.
I mean, we had the son of Cairne, all these different orcs, a ruling council of Blood Elves, Vol'Jin...eh, I guess not much for Vol'jin either.
But you get the point.
