After rejecting King Terenas' call for an Alliance, King Genn Greymane went back to Gilneas to plan on how to deal with the armies of New Arathor should the latter reach their borders. However, the enigmatic Lord Hiram Creed and some of the nobles tried to convince him to be more proactive in the war. They reasoned that they can use the war as an opportunity to expand their own kingdom. Despite protests from the other nobles such as Lord Vincent Godfrey and Lord Darius Crowley, King Genn decided to start his own conquest.
In order to match the New Arathorian Empire and Alliance of Lordaeron, Gilneas needed allies of their own. King Genn sent envoys to the Goblin Trade Princes to make an alliance. It was Trade Prince Steamwheedle who answered his call. After sealing their pact with a contract signing, King Genn opened up Gilneas' industrial sector to the Steamwheedle Cartel who then proceeded to make weapons in haste for their campaign.
Despite his alliance with the Steamwheedle Cartel, King Genn thought that they needed more allies. After consulting with his advisers, King Genn saw the Kingdom of Alterac as an important ally thanks to their strategic location. However, King Aiden Perenolde had already pledged Alterac's support to the Alliance of Lordaeron. And so, King Genn arranged for a secret meeting with King Aiden. He convinced the latter to betray the Alliance of Lordaeron as a way of getting back at Stromgarde which was a long-time rival of Alterac. They sealed their pact with the twin marriages of their children. Prince Liam Greymane was going to marry Princess Beve Perenolde while Prince Aliden Perenolde was going to marry Princess Tess Greymane.
With their pacts sealed, the Kingdoms of Gilneas and Alterac together with the Steamwheedle Cartel prepared to enact their plan of expanding their borders while the Alliance of Lordaeron and the New Arathor Empire battle it out.
