With King Llane dead , Sir Lothar took charge of the shattered armies of Azeroth and led the survivors across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron . King Terenas , ruler of Lordaeron , agreed to support the landless Azerothiens . The people of Azeroth settled near the Southshore region of Lordaeron , pledging their loyalty to the Alliance .

Leader : Genn Greymane Nation Color : Black Background : Despite the impending Orcish invasion , Gilneas has remained separate from the Alliance of Lordaeron .
