Warcraft TL Ideas
(MúhPééh, can you händel it?)

Timeline
Underlined Ideas are proposals in this timeline, I suppose.
 * 16-18 ADP - Invincible and Arthas are able to brave the winter without major side affects, and Invincible survives. Because of this, Arthas never makes the full commitment to becoming a paladin.
 * 6-20 ADP - Without becoming a Paladin, Arthas trains as a warrior. Through his relationship with both Jaina and Uther, he learns elements of both Arcane and Holy magic, but without a strong inclination towards either.
 * 20 - 21 ADP - Third War and the Second Invasion of the Burning Legion
 * 20 ADP - The Scourge of Lordaeron begins and Arthas himself stands on the front lines, fighting against necromancer Kel'Thuzad and dreadlord Mal'ganis. Despite this, Arthas falls to corruption in Northrend, taking up the runeblade Frostmourne. He returns to Lordaeron, kills his father and sacks the capital without emotion as his undead army spreads out across the shattered Kingdom. Only Hillsbrad and small sections of the new Plaguelands remain under Human control. Calia, Arthas's sister, heads the remainder of the kingdom from Tyr's Hand.
 * 20  ADP - Muradin Bronzebeard is found by Baelgun and the other dwarves, who bring him back to the Eastern Kingdoms. They discover that they are too late to warn Lordaeron, but they do warn Quel'thalas, Dalaran, and Stromguarde, as well as the rest of the Alliance leadership in Kul Tiras, Stormwind, and Khaz Modan.
 * 20 ADP - Despite being warned, Dalaran and Quel'Thalas both fall to the Scourge. Arthas kills without emotion, not feeling as he would with his former light-drawn sympathy. Kael'thas, witnessing firsthand the destruction of his kingdom and people, vows revenge against Arthas. He crowns himself King and allies himself with Calia to defeat the Scourge. Because of Calia's other commanders, Garithos does not drive Kael and the High Elves out of the Alliance
 * 21 ADP - Jaina, Invincible, and various other survivors flee across the sea and later found the settlement and kingdom of Theramore.
 * 21 ADP - Conclusion of the Second Invasion of the Burning Legion and the Third War; most of the command structure of the Burning Legion is damaged with the deaths of Archimonde the Defiler, Mannoroth the Destructor, Tichondrius the Darkener, and Hakkar the Houndmaster. Night Elves become mortal again from the damage that the world tree suffers.
 * 22 ADP - The Alliance recaptures Dalaran under Marshall Garithos and Alexandros the Ashbringer.
 * 22 ADP - The Dreadlord Triumvirate is forced out of Lordaeron by Arthas. Shortly after, the Forsaken break off from Scourge control when Arthas returns to Northrend at the behest of the Lich King. The Dreadlords are forced out of power again when their armies are attacked by both the Alliance and the Forsaken at the same time. The Dreadlords will return, but I am not sure where yet.

Burning Legion

 * Archimonde the Defiler (Dead) - Co-Leader of the Burning Legion with Kil'Jaeden after the disappearance of Sargeras. Dies in the Third War during the final Battle of Mt. Hyjal.
 * Mannoroth the Destructor (Dead) - Archimonde's second during the War of the Ancients and the Third War. Tried to enslave the Orc race for a second time, but killed a few months before the conclusion of the Third War.
 * Tichondrius the Darkener (Believed Dead) - Lord of the Dreadlords and the right hand of Kil'Jaeden. Was instrumental in the creation of the Undead Scourge and fought in the later stages of the Third War. Believed dead at the hands of Illidan Stormrage.
 * Hakkar the Houndmaster (Dead) - Leader of the felhounds of the Legion. Fought in the War of the Ancients and during the final Battle of Mt. Hyjal and was killed.

Alliance

It has since rejoined the Alliance in order to drive back the invaders.
 * Galen Trollbane - The King of Stromguarde, Galen is committed to taking back his kingdom. Excercizes authority over part of Stromguarde city, Refuge Point, and small sections of Thoradin's Wall.

Horde
Following Thrall's resignation and the ascension of Broxigar the Red to the mantle of Warchief, the Horde is more aggressive but not as prone to mistakes or random acts of violence like Garrosh's Horde would be. Due to the difference of Warchiefs and the more violent repuation of Broxigar's Horde, more traditionalist Orcs join, expanding the Horde's forces.

Orc Clans
 * Bleeding Hollow Clan - Led by Jorin Deadeye.
 * Burning Blade Clan - Led by Brolic
 * Blackrock Clan - Led by Vaurok Saurfang in Broxigar's absence.
 * Black Tooth Grin Clan - Led by Rend Blackhand after striking a deal with Broxigar's Horde.
 * Dragonmaw Clan -
 * Frostwolf Clan - Lead by Thrall.
 * Lightning's Blade Clan -
 * Shadowmoon Clan -
 * Shattered Hand Clan -
 * Thunderlord Clan -
 * Warsong Clan - Led by Garrosh Hellscream.

Iserian Vanguard
The Iserian Vanguard is an organization based in the Ashen Plains to the east of the Redridge Mountains and Burning Steppes. Originally a small county aligned to the Kingdom of Stormwind, the land became independent and lawless after the First and Second Wars. With the fall of Lordaeron to the undead, a group of survivors fled south and settled in the region. The survivors formed the Iserian Vanguard, an organization dedicated to removing the undead from the former kingdom. Based in the old keep and town of Sentriff, tne Vanguard is preparing to defeat the evil of the north and take back their homes.
