Prologue
For Twelve years the war between the two kingdoms has raged on. The Alliance and the Horde split into two kingdoms. Kranos and the Eastern Kingdom. The horde has moved to the north of the eastern kingdom causing the Alliance to move south across the Al' Kon river. While across The Great Sea, in Kranos, the horde has taken total control of the land. Their god (known as Aba to the Horde and God to the Alliance) has divided the two lands and placed a great whirlpool in between them creating peace throughout the land. Arrows Stopped flying though the skies, shields and swords have stopped clashing, and blood has stopped flowing from the flesh. Peace has once again come over the land. Until the god has decided, the whirlpool will stay.
Seven years later, a Horde scientist named Gromel, a twenty-seven year old troll whose father had died in the war. Had discovered a way to get to the Eastern Kingdom. Cautious not to anger his god or make a transport that didn't assure certain death for the passengers. Because of the whirlpool, it was impossible to get a water vessel across the harsh waters and since there was no land connecting the two, there was no way to use a land based transport to get to the Eastern Kingdom. So Gromel looked to the heavens. He had invented the first ever sky based transport. He called it the Zeppelin after his father Count Von Zepplin.
Gromel's father was a general in the continental war. General Zepplin was a private for two years. Then he was a lieutenant for six years and on the seventh year he was promoted to general. He was captured by a division of human soldiers during a raid on a Horde camp. The humans got no answers from General Zepplin. Since he was of no use to them, the hung him in the streets of Stormwind, the Human capital city.
Gromel went to Stonehammer, the Troll's capital. He went to the trade district and sought out the trade officials. The scientist showed his blueprints and plans for building the Zeppelin. The officials agreed to put a patent on his invention and asked him to come back when he has another great invention. The next day Gromel went to the engineering district and gave them his blueprints and seventeen gold pieces to build him the Zeppelin. They told him that it would take several months to complete. So Gromel headed back to Brill.
