Forums: Village pumpWarcraft lore Quel'Thalas and their monolithic runestones

Hmm, I've been wondering; if "they erected monolithic runestones to mark their new kingdom’s borders"Template:Cite (see: Runestone), why allowed the Kingdom of Lordaeron to build cities inside their borders, e.g. Andorhal and Stratholme, just to mention the largest ones. Sure, land might not matter as much as magic to elves, but still?

I was wondering the same, even Caer Darrow was a human city built within a Runestone. Or probably they let just the humans as they helped the high elves during the Troll Wars. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 19:31, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
But "After Uther left Caer Darrow, the Horde destroyed the forces that guarded the relic and gained control of the Runestone for use by the Horde." (see: Second War) even though it was a human city, I had thought it was elven forces guarding the Runestone. But you are right, the Caer Darrow article says, "The island has also been the site of one or more human fortifications dating back to the days of the empire of Arathor.". But still, they didn't owe the kingdom of Lordaeron anything.
Who killed the ghosts at Caer Darrow by the way? Horde? or are they younger, and killed by Cult of the Damned after making Scholomance?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TherasTaneel (talk · contr).
The 'at their boarders' thing only applies to the runestone of Warcraft II retroactively, it was for the ones in Warcraft III. It is not a retcon for sure, but it does not fit well. The Cult of the Damned killed them.--SWM2448 20:02, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
"Can't you see we're trying to prepare for Uther's visit?" - ghost, when did Uther have time to come visit, were there not a war going on? TherasTaneel (talk) 21:30, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
