Harry Potter: Journey to Godhood

Unlike in the game, there are actually no teleportation portals set up between the major cities of Azeroth.

In reality, the number of mages capable of using portals in Azeroth is quite limited, and most of these mages are of archmage level.

Even in Dalaran, the gathering place for mages, the number of archmages is relatively few, and each archmage holds a respected position. 

Who would bother to open a portal specifically for someone else?

In any case, mages are considered a rare profession in Azeroth, and compared to the more common professions like warriors, rogues, and rangers, mages are exceedingly scarce—much rarer than priests.

Moreover, the stability of a portal depends on the user's mastery of magic, and most mages who can create portals are unable to ensure their stability. 

This means that casually walking through a mage's portal could send anyone who isn't a master of spatial magic to a location far removed from their intended destination—there's even the risk of getting lost in the Twisting Nether due to spatial disturbances.

In fact, even in Dalaran, there are occasional accidents where mages become lost in the Twisting Nether due to misusing portals.

In contrast, the magic of the Harry Potter world is significantly more advanced when it comes to spatial manipulation.

The Disapparation spell, which allows personal movement and can even transport one or two others, is difficult to learn but is still much simpler than using a portal—most adult wizards can learn it after a period of training.

In comparison to portals, Portkeys are much more convenient to create and maintain, with almost no risk of teleportation errors. 

Because of this, the Ministry of Magic has even had to legislate and set up offices to prevent the misuse of Portkeys.

As for the Floo Network, it has become a daily necessity in every wizarding household, completely outclassing portals.

This is also why, in the original plot, Jaina was regarded as a brilliant mage in Dalaran due to her group teleportation spells.

Given this perspective, Alaric, who has mastered spatial magic from another world, could potentially become wealthy solely through his expertise in this field.

However, for Alaric, the envoy from Dalaran to the Kingdom of Stormwind, the presence or absence of a portal was not of great importance.

For him, it was more rewarding to travel to Stormwind via traditional land routes rather than appearing directly through a portal; this way, he could appreciate the customs and scenery of Azeroth along the way.

Thus, he traveled by carriage, passing through the Hillsbrad Foothills, traversing the Arathi Highlands where the great Wall of Soladin stood, crossing the Sador Bridge that connects two continents, moving through the vibrant wetlands.

Passing by the dwarven grain-producing base of Loch Modan with its magnificent stone dam, navigating the barren wasteland filled with swirling dust, crossing the scorched earth of the Burning Steppes, and finally entering the expansive Elwynn Forest.

After traversing the forest, Alaric arrived in Stormwind City.

The entire journey took a full two months.

The people of the Kingdom of Stormwind welcomed the envoy from Dalaran with great enthusiasm.

The human nations of Azeroth bear a resemblance to medieval Europe on Earth, with a strong knightly culture prevalent here. 

Royalty and nobility are either of knightly descent or hold knights in high esteem.

In contrast, they harbor a bias against mages, viewing them as mysterious, reclusive, and incomprehensible.

However, King Llane Wrynn I of Stormwind is different; he holds a basic goodwill toward mages. 

This is not only due to his own friendliness and wisdom but also because he has been childhood friends with Medivh. 

Together with Anduin Lothar, the current leader of the Royal Knight Order, the three have been close companions since childhood.

Thus, compared to other kings and nobles, he understands mages better, recognizes their strength, and places greater value on their power.

Moreover, at this time, Dalaran is the only one among the human nations of Lordaeron to provide them with positive feedback.

The other kingdoms regard the warnings and pleas for help from Stormwind as mere jokes.

However, the people of Stormwind are well aware of their own struggles. 

Under the onslaught of the orcs, the Sunstrider Grove, Westfall, and the southern regions of Redridge Mountains had temporarily fallen into the hands of the Orcish Horde. 

The human populace was displaced, and the nobility suffered significant losses.

Although under Anduin Lothar's command, the Stormwind army has repelled the initial orc forces and driven them back to the Swamp of Sorrows, they all believe that these orcs will eventually return.

When that time comes, they are uncertain whether the Stormwind army alone can withstand the orc horde.

At this moment, Dalaran seems to be their only possible ally.

In such an urgent situation, Stormwind held a grand welcome for Alaric, the envoy.

King Llane Wrynn I personally summoned Alaric to the council hall of the palace.

Amidst the gathering of guards and attendants, Alaric stepped onto the red carpet and entered the council hall.

Upon entering, he immediately spotted King Llane seated regally on the central throne.

King Wrynn appeared to be in his forties or fifties, dressed in lavish robes and wearing a golden crown, exuding a friendly and gentle demeanor that easily garnered trust and closeness from others.

In the original story, he is also considered a wise king.

Beside him sat his queen, but Alaric did not see Prince Varian Wrynn, who was still a child.

The nobles and ministers of Stormwind lined the sides of the hall, among them a striking figure in magnificent heavy armor caught Alaric's attention.

To him, although many of the nobles present could be warriors on the battlefield, the strongest among them was this man.

The elaborate rituals of the nobility bored Alaric, but he could only reluctantly adapt to local customs and went through the motions of the envoy's formalities.

Fortunately, most of the procedures did not require his direct involvement; two apprentice mages sent from Dalaran handled them, while he merely nodded toward King Llane as a form of greeting.

Due to Dalaran's neutral status and the special nature of mages, these actions, which would be considered quite rude in the eyes of the nobles, did not elicit any visible discontent.

Perhaps noticing Alaric's impatience with the formalities, King Llane kindly simplified the remaining procedures and quickly got to the main topic.

Servants brought in a large table and spread out a large map on it.

The man Alaric had noticed earlier—Anduin Lothar, the leader of the Royal Knight Order and the current commander—began to explain the current situation to Alaric.

"... In summary, the losses for the Kingdom of Stormwind are far more severe than anticipated. It is estimated that this year's autumn harvest will be greatly affected, and those orcs have not truly been defeated.

They are currently hiding in the Swamp of Sorrows, which is now shrouded in thick fog. 

We do not know where they came from, how many troops they have, or how much food they possess, but I believe they are certainly preparing for a new offensive. 

However, our army has suffered significant casualties in the battles against the orc attacks. I do not know if the Kingdom of Stormwind can withstand their next assault."

As he spoke, the atmosphere in the entire hall turned somber.
