United Kingdom (Light of Lordaeron)

The United Kingdom of Gilneas and Lordaeron, often referred to as simply the United Kingdom, is a human nation consisting of the land controlled by the former independent kingdoms of Gilneas and Lordaeron. The former kingdoms officially ceased existing after the Act of Union merged them into the new kingdom seen today. The road to unification was paved years beforehand, as Prince Liam Greymane of Gilneas and Princess Alleria Menethil of Lordaeron—both heirs to their respective thrones—had joined with each other in holy matrimony twenty years following the conclusion of the Third War, and it was known that when they both inherited their birthrights, the two realms would merge.

The United Kingdom merged the two crowns, but many separate institutions still existed; legally, although Liam Greymane was High King of the United Kingdom, he was also King of both Gilneas and Lordaeron separately. There was a unified army in the form of the 1st Legion (inherited through Queen Alleria), but Gilneas and Lordaeron still retained separate militia organizations and military orders that were still loyal to the crown, but administered separately by one of the two country's ministries.
