King Llane's expression suddenly turned rather ugly.
Westfall was one of the earliest territories pioneered by the Kingdom of Stormwind. Although it bore the name of wilderness, in reality it was the breadbasket of the Stormwind Kingdom. The rich, vast plains stretched out endlessly, dotted everywhere with wheat fields and farms. Moreover, with mountain ranges to both the north and south, it was relatively safe and could be considered the essence of the Stormwind Kingdom. For Lordaeron to demand Westfall outright was indeed a lion's demand.
However, Lordaeron would certainly not agree to any other place, as if the territory they wished to acquire was deep within the borders of Stormwind City's kingdom, isolated from within and without, it would be impossible to govern effectively. Only Westfall, lying close to the sea, could be directly accessed by their navy.
