| − | '''Menethil Harbor''' (men-a-thill) is a port [[town]] on the western shore of the [[Wetlands]].{{coords|11|52|Wetlands}} It has a [[boat]] that sails to [[Theramore Isle]] in [[Dustwallow Marsh]], on the continent of [[Kalimdor]], and an [[icebreaker]] that goes to [[Valgarde]] in the [[Howling Fjord]] on the continent of [[Northrend]]. Within the city are many [[vendor]]s; a [[First Aid Trainer]], the [[Deepwater Tavern]], and a [[Gryphon]] [[Flight Master]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This major port city represents the [[Alliance]] presence in the Wetlands. Murlocs and Dragonmaw orcs are a constant threat to its citizens, who are braver and sterner than their kin. [[Captain Stoutfist]], the town's military leader, can be found in [[Menethil Keep]] working to repel the Dragonmaw orcs. The captain is particularly concerned because the orcs seem to be preparing for a major assault.<ref name="Lands of Conflict 80">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. 80</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Except for the bridge, the only other ways of entering the town, is by sea, or by a secret underground path leading from the town to the mainland. <ref name="NotD 58">''[[NotD]]'', pg. 58</ref> |

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | Menethil Harbor is named after the ruling dynasty of [[Lordaeron]]. The first Menethil Harbor existed between the times of the Second and Third Wars.<ref name="BTDP 151,157,186">''[[BTDP]]'', pg. 151,157,186</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Horde]] and [[Scourge]] forces devastated the [[Wetlands]] in the Second and Third Wars, forcing the [[Ironforge]] dwarves to retreat to [[Loch Modan]] and [[Dun Morogh]]. [[Alliance]] forces have since established the current [[Menethil Harbor]], but the area is still wild and untamed.<ref name="Lands of Conflict 80">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. 80</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was originally established at the end of the [[Third War]] as the main sea link between [[Khaz Modan]] and the kingdoms of [[Alliance]]. It is the only stationary [[Alliance]] presence in the Wetlands, a small well-fortified city that numbers a little over ten thousand souls. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Menethil Harbor still serves a critical purpose as it serves as a link between the old kingdoms of [[Khaz Modan]] and [[Stormwind]], and the relatively new [[Alliance]] settlements at [[Theramore Isle]] and [[Valgarde]]. |
||

| − | ==Cataclysm== |
||
| − | {{Cata-section}} |
||
| − | Menethil Harbor will be flooded, but will still be inhabited. The docks will float and sandbags will be set up throughout the town. |

||
| − | Menethil was home to [[Captain Placeholder]] who would instantly teleport players to [[Auberdine]]. He was a favorite of most players but was removed when the boats were added. Due to a glitch, they had to reinstate him until an April 2005 patch. He was so popular that fans made a petition to reinstate him and others made a song called [http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/01/14/wow-moviewatch-the-lament-of-captain-placeholder/ Lament of Captain Placeholder]. |
