'''Regalia of the Cleansing Flame''' is the [[Tier 12]] set for [[Priest talents#Shadow|Shadow]] [[Priest]]s.
Sir '''Anduin Lothar''', the Lion of [[Azeroth (kingdom)|Azeroth]], was the last true descendant of the ancient [[Arathi]] bloodline, a knight champion of the Kingdom of Azeroth (later known as the [[Kingdom of Stormwind]]) during the [[First War]], and the supreme commander of the armies of the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]] during the [[Second War]]. He perished in combat at the base of [[Blackrock Mountain]] against the [[orc]] [[Warchief]] [[Orgrim Doomhammer]] just before the end of the Second War and the closing of the [[Dark Portal]]. He is considered one of the greatest warriors of all time.

=== Before the War ===
 
Lothar grew up in the court of Azeroth as a childhood friend of both the Prince [[Llane Wrynn]] and [[Medivh]].<ref>''[[The Last Guardian]]'', pg. ?</ref> The trio shared many adventures in the Azerothian wilderness in their youth. Upon coming of age, Lothar joined Stormwind's military, later knighted and arose quickly to the position of Armsman of the [[Brotherhood of the Horse]], eventually leading Stormwind's armies.

{{lootbox|Regalia of the Cleansing Flame
When the [[orc]]s first arrived in Azeroth and launched their initial attack on Stormwind Keep, Lothar aggressively advocated taking the battle to them. King [[Adamant Wrynn III]] shared Lothar's view and therefore pledged to rid his beloved land of the orcs. He died, however, before that pledge could ever be fulfilled, and was succeeded by his son [[Llane Wrynn I]]. The new king continued his father's work, and the battles against the orcs raged on. During this time, the invaders were held back to the Swamp of Sorrows.

At one point during the war the [[Tome of Divinity]], a book of great value to the [[Clerics of Northshire]], was stolen by a rogue band of [[ogres]] led by the ogre lord [[Turok]]. Lothar led an expedition into the ogres' hideout, the [[Deadmines]] in [[Westfall]], but were completely overrun and held captive to be killed slowly. Lothar remained imprisoned within the caves for twenty months before he and his few surviving men were saved by Azerothian troops. He retrieved the Tome of Divinity and returned to Stormwind, safeguarding the book at [[Northshire Abbey]]. Reintroduced to the war, Lothar continued leading the forces of Stormwind.

* {{Patch 4.2.0|note=Added.}}
 
Lothar was shocked when the wizard [[Khadgar]], the apprentice to his old friend Medivh, arrived to tell him that the great mage had betrayed everyone by summoning the orcs into Azeroth. After much heated discussion in Stormwind, Lothar personally led a force to storm [[Karazhan]] and kill Medivh. The band of troops, along with Lothar, Khadgar, and the half-orc [[Garona]], descended into the lower tower and confronted the mad guardian. Khadgar finally managed to stab Medivh in the heart, and Lothar removed his head with one swipe from his greatsword.<ref>''[[The Last Guardian]]'', pg. ?</ref>
 
 
Unfortunately, the death of Medivh could not stop the rampage of the [[Horde]]. The war was starting to turn against Azeroth as the orcs started to learn from their earlier mistakes under the leadership of Warchief [[Blackhand]]. King Llane was soon assassinated by the Horde [[spymistress]] Garona and the city of Stormwind was sacked. Lothar, knowing that the Kingdom of Azeroth had been lost, decided to save what remained of his once mighty people. He gathered the tattered remnants of the army and as many civilians as he could save and led them in a desperate retreat across the Great Sea, eventually landing upon the shores of [[Lordaeron]].
 
 
=== The Second War ===
 
[[File:HeroLotharWC2.gif|frame|left|Lothar in Warcraft II]]
 
[[File:Lotharstatue.png|right|300px|Statue straight-on]]
 
Once in the court of King [[Terenas Menethil II]] of Lordaeron, Lothar told his dire story to everyone who would listen. Lothar's eloquent pleas ultimately brought the human kingdoms together for an emergency council, where his friend Terenas' masterful politics created the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]]. Having been contacted by Terenas with Lothar's tale, the normally aloof [[high elves]] sent a contingent of their forces, knowing that they could finally pay off their debt to the Arathi bloodline for saving them during the [[Troll Wars]]. The [[Wildhammer]] dwarves of [[Aerie Peak]] were attacked by the Horde as well and quickly pledged themselves to Lothar. The Alliance was later joined by the [[Bronzebeard]] [[dwarves]] and [[gnomes]] of [[Khaz Modan]], who had been forced out much of their lands by the Horde's advance.
 
 
Because of his great skill in warfare and experience with orcs, and because the kings of the north were not comfortable placing their troops in the command of a rival nation, Lothar - a neutral party - was named the supreme commander of the Alliance forces. He quickly named [[Turalyon]] his second in command, and Admiral [[Daelin Proudmoore]], [[Uther the Lightbringer]], and Archmage [[Khadgar]] as his lieutenants. Throughout the war, he led his forces from battle to battle with valor and skill. After the Horde's mysterious retreat from Lordaeron and Grand Admiral Proudmoore's victories at sea, Lothar led the armies of the Alliance to liberate much of Azeroth and Khaz Modan (meeting up with [[Muradin Bronzebeard|Muradin]] and [[Brann Bronzebeard]]), eventually breaching the Black Morass itself. Lothar was killed at the foot of [[Blackrock Spire]] after a force of Alliance troops he personally commanded was ambushed by the Horde forces.
 
 
He became separated from the main body of his troops in what is perhaps the greatest battle in Azeroth's history. Amid the chaos, he was forced into combat with [[Orgrim Doomhammer]], [[Warchief|Warchief of the Horde]]; after a long and draining fight, Lothar was defeated in single combat after his sword was shattered by the Doomhammer, his skull crushed by a powerful blow from the legendary weapon.<ref name="S&L44">''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pg. 44</ref><ref>''[[Tides of Darkness]]'', pg. 352</ref> However, others believe that Doomhammer did not win fairly and Lothar was killed after being ambushed by a group of Horde's warriors. Regardless, his blade fell from his dead grasp, though it did not lie for long.<ref>[[Assault on Blackrock Spire]]</ref><ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 171</ref><ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 134</ref>
 
 
Doomhammer believed that Lothar's death would break the fighting spirit of his forces, but what happened was quite the opposite. After Lothar's death, his most trusted general, Turalyon, took up his shield and sword and led the armies of the Alliance to eventual victory over the Blackrock Spire's defenses, allowing Lothar's old ally and friend, Khadgar, later to destroy the [[Dark Portal]].
 
[[Image:lotharmonument.jpg|thumb|Statue of Lothar in his final charge to Blackrock Spire]]
 
 
=== Legacy and memorials ===
 
Anduin did not live to see his beloved homeland freed from orc control and rebuilt, but a massive stone statue depicting Lothar in his last charge was built (by orcish prisoners of the Alliance no less) and still stands in the [[Burning Steppes]], pointing defiantly towards Blackrock Spire. Lord Lothar's legacy lives on in all the free peoples of Stormwind. The [[Anduin Wrynn|current crown-prince]] of the nation bears Lothar's name.
 
 
The [[Alliance Expedition]] to [[Outland|Draenor]], led by veterans who had fought alongside Lothar in the Second War, named themselves the [[Sons of Lothar]] "in honor of the greatest, most selfless man we ever knew", as Khadgar relates it. The [[Monument of Remembrance]] in [[Honor Hold]] was also built as a memorial to everything he fought for.
 
 
A belt that had once belonged to Lothar came into the possession of the [[Crimson Ring]], a group of slavers and gladiators in [[Orgrimmar]], and was kept in their special armory in the [[Hall of Legends]]. The belt was claimed by [[Varian Wrynn]], then known as the gladiator [[Lo'Gosh]], when he was allowed access to that armory.
 
 
==Personality==
 
{{RPG-section}}
 
[[Image:Lotharcomic.jpg|thumb|Lothar as seen in the comic series.]]
 
Lothar is a strong and highly charismatic leader, capable of commanding attention and radiating determination and conviction to those serving under him. Though most often appearing emotionless he is deeply passionate about his friends and countrymen. His loyalty is first and foremost to the people of Azeroth, and he will fight with the full extent of his considerable skills in battle till his homeland is reclaimed.<ref name="S&L44"/>
 
 
In combat Lothar, as a knight works best as part of the cavalry, charging into his enemies with Quel’Zaram, prefering to outmanuever enemy commanders, but retreating when prudent. He is at his peak when commanding others. Following Medivh's betrayal Lothar has a profound respect for spellcasters, and will target them, hammering through lesser warriors to reach wizards and sorcerers in the rear.<ref name="S&L44"/>
 
 
== Weapons ==
 
{{main|Great Royal Sword|Quel'Zaram}}
 
 
[[Quel'Zaram]] was one of Lothar's greatswords. Lothar discovered this weapon on his youthful adventures with Llane Wrynn and Medivh. The sword impressed Medivh and he dubbed it Quel'Zaram — [[Thalassian]] for "high blade". Lothar also wielded the [[Great Royal Sword|Great Royal Sword of Stormwind]], which was shattered during the Second War, but taken up by [[Turalyon]]. Both weapons' current whereabouts are unknown.
 
{{speculation}}
 
{{main|Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood}}
 
 
In ''World of Warcraft'', {{Loot|Epic|Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood}} can be obtained when slaying [[Nefarian]], Lord of Blackrock. This is also believed to be Lothar's sword; "Brotherhood" is assumed to refer to Lothar's order, [[Brotherhood of the Horse]]. The hilt is inscribed with the initials "A.L.", assumed to mean Anduin Lothar. However, judging by its looks, the sword has most likely been altered by Nefarian from its original appearance. Surprisingly, when this weapon was given a description in the ''[[Monster Guide]]'', no connection to Anduin Lothar was made.
