[Of course, you know in your heart that the current situation does not support you going to Azeroth to explore.]

[Although your control over the Kingdom of Elbor is strong, there is a human city called Dale-town in the river valley below the mountain. To the west is Mirkwood, where live the powerful neighbors, the Wood Elves. Their leader, Thranduil, the Elf King of Mirkwood, is not only the only Elven King at the end of the Third Age, but also extremely powerful.]

The Forest Elves and Humans have long maintained trade relations through the Forest River. However, since the Sindarin Elf King Thingol was killed by the Dwarves, and even the Sindarin settlement of Doriath was destroyed by the Dwarves, the Forest Elves, primarily Sindarin, generally hate the Dwarves. Relations between the two sides have always been very tense, and they have rejected your trade requests more than once.

You don't think it's necessary to be too concerned about the elves' attitude, because according to your plan, conquering the elves is actually a matter of time.

From February 2775 to April 2, the Kingdom of Elbor continued to thrive. Thanks to the advent of generators and the laying of electrical wires, Elbor now had electricity. Subsequently, thanks to the efforts of goblin and dwarf scientists, electric lights, telegraphs, and other electrical appliances also appeared. Elbor experienced a remarkable technological leap, leapfrogging 2781 years of technological development, moving directly from the steam engine age to the electrical age.

At the end of April 2781, thanks to your organization, televisions and cameras were invented one after another. A strange scene of technology and theology coexisting appeared throughout the country. You witnessed with your own eyes the Human General Bix watching the bikini-clad dwarf girl on TV with great interest.

The prosperous Kingdom of Elbor naturally attracted the attention of its neighbors, from Dale to the Wood Elves. A large number of humans and elves flocked to Elbor and Iron Mountain, never to return. Judging by the increasing number of elven troops at the border of Mirkwood, the humans of Dale and Thranduil are likely eager to declare war on you.

[In addition, the Misty Mountain Orcs of the Misty Mountains and the Gambador Orcs led by Azog the Destroyer also seem to be interested in the wealthy Kingdom of Elbor. It is said that their combined number is in the hundreds of thousands, and they are also assisted by the Balrog Durin Nemesis, the fire demon who once destroyed the Dwarf Kingdom. A major war seems inevitable.]

[Of course, many dwarves also support your initiative. Hundreds of years ago, it was this Durin Nemesis that destroyed the Dwarven capital of Moria, forcing them to leave their homes and migrate here.]

In the past six years in Azeroth, you have made remarkable progress, and your reputation is now almost on par with that of the Mountain King. Through financial suppression, the Yellow Turbans are now not only the primary faith of the Dwarven Kingdom, but have even infiltrated the three major clans of Ironforge. Now, even Prince Madoran Bronzebeard is a follower of the Yellow Turbans and believes in the Three Pure Ones.

[And just as your aura readings revealed, at the end of November 2781, Modimus Anvilmar, the Mountain King who ruled the entire Dwarven Kingdom of Azeroth, finally passed away. Before his descendants could ascend to the throne, the Dwarves of the three major clans, Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, and Dark Iron, immediately launched a civil war.]

In the end, you had the last laugh. After more than a decade of accumulation, your reputation in the Dwarven Kingdom of Azeroth had already reached an incredible level. When you emerged from the portal on the giant dragon Smaug and flew over Ironforge, its 141-meter-long size immediately intimidated most of the resistance.

Through military, religious, and economic means, you simply but not easily dismantled the resistance of the three major clans and ultimately ascended the throne of Ironforge. Thus, a vast dwarven kingdom spanning two worlds was born.

[Following this, you used gentle tactics to appease the three major clans in a timely manner. Ultimately, only the Dark Iron clan chose to leave Ironforge, while the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer clans, who had interacted more with you, chose to continue to assist you. This was naturally a very wise choice.]

In April 2782, after Ironforge had also developed to a certain point, after consultations with high-ranking officials such as Madoran Bronzebeard, Kaldros Wildhammer, Brewful Stonefist, and Bex, you finally decided to take action. You implemented reforms within the Kingdom of Elbor, renaming it the Pineapple Kingdom and the Yellow Turbans the Mechanic Daoists. Furthermore, you decided to unify the written language, making Chinese characters the primary language within the Pineapple Kingdom and forcing its citizens to learn them.

After gaining a great deal of power, you finally developed your own unique ambition: to one day become a true Ultimate Being, the king of kings, both secular and religious.

Under the triple pressure of power, finances, and religious beliefs, this reform did not cause any significant disturbances. The dwarves of both worlds naturally accepted the change and quietly learned Chinese. Some even took precautionary measures and changed their surnames to Chinese.

From April 2782 to May 4, during these three years, the Pineapple Kingdom experienced rapid development, surpassing Middle-earth and all the nations of Azeroth in both economics and technology. Ironforge had even entered the electrical age. Whether in Ironforge or Ironforge, the streets were no longer filled with carriages and horses, but with cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and even helicopters. Since you invented the internal combustion engine, the clever dwarves naturally thought of using it for transportation, and motorcycles and cars came into being.

In Iron Mountain, you also encountered the Maia, the demigods from the Lord of the Rings universe. A traveler named Saruman revealed his true identity to you and offered to become your subordinate. You knew his identity—Saruman, a wizard of the same caliber as Gandalf and a future villain. But you still chose to accept him, intrigued by the Maia and the Valar (gods) behind him.

Bonus Map Special Explanation Mode: Your unintentional actions have once again changed world history. If all had gone well, Saruman would have wandered to Gondor, become its servant, received the key to Orthanc from Gondor's Steward Beren, and governed there on its behalf. But now, he has taken the initiative and joined your forces, thus reversing his inevitable downfall.

[In addition, you have established an organization called the Explorers' League in Ironforge. With your generous financial support, a large number of dwarven archaeologists, led by the great archaeologist Thomley Maegilas, will travel to the Badlands and the distant Storm Peaks to search for treasures left behind by the Titans. They will also compile information about Azeroth's history, people, and culture into the world's largest library.]

In July 2785, the long-dormant enemy finally launched an attack on Lonely Mountain. Humans, elves, Mist Mountain orcs, Gumbardor orcs, and your Pineapple Kingdom dwarves fought the largest war in Middle-earth to date near Lonely Mountain, known in history as the Battle of Five Armies.
