New arathorian empire

From Ujimasa's maps compendium:

Despite the deaths of King Llane Wrynn and Anduin Lothar during their war with the Orcs, Stormwind was victorious. The peace they had fought for will not last long, however. It was during this time that the charismatic noble, Lord Daval Prestor, rose up through the ranks, eventually becoming regent for the young King, Varian Wrynn. He convinced the people of Stormwind that their victory over the Orcs gave them the divine right to restore the Arathorian Empire. With that, he was able to galvanize everyone into another war, this time with the other Human kingdoms and renames themselves the New Arathorian Empire. He appoints the young Victor Nefarius as commander of their forces.

Their first order of business was to secure their path to the continent of Lordaeron. They went to Shadowforge City and helped rout the remaining Horde stragglers there to win the favor of the Dark Iron Dwarves. After which, Lord Daval's daughter, Katrana Prestor, had an audience with the Fire Lord masters of the Dark Irons securing their allegiance.

The next hindrance to their path were the Dwarves of the Kingdom of Ironforge. With their new Dark Iron allies, they stage a daring operation to kidnap Princess Moira Bronzebeard and hold her hostage in Shadowforge. For the sake of his daughter, King Magni was forced to stand down and let the New Arathorian armies pass through.

With their combined forces, they finally launch an invasion of the Arathi Highlands capturing several of the towns and villages. However, the forces of the Kingdom of Stromgarde led by King Thoras Trollbane himself launches a counterattack, pushing them back through the Thandol Span. King Thoras would fall in battle but his forces destroy the Thandol Span halting their enemy's advance for the time being.

After the defeat of their army, Lord Daval demanded that King Magni pledge some troops and weapons as well which the latter begrudgingly obliged. Lord Daval also wanted the Gnomes to join as well but their current leader, Gelbin Mekkatorque, was adamantly opposed. Fortunately for him, the Gnomes were about to have an election and Gelbin's opponent, Sicco Thermaplugg, was more than willing to throw Gnomeregan into a war. Lady Katrana infiltrates Gnomeregan and helps Sicco win the election. Sicco provides troops and weapons in return.

With their Dwarven and Gnomish allies, the New Arathorian forces set out to repair the Thandol Span in order to relaunch an invasion of the Lordaeron continent.
