Strahnbrad
From WoWWiki
Strahnbrad (aka Strombrad) was a settlement located east of Alterac and south of Andorhal in the human kingdom of Lordaeron. The place was situated in the strategic position of the northern foothills of the Alterac Mountains, but even this was not enough of an advantage to protect the settlement from ravaging Blackrock orcs, who raided the area shortly prior to the Third War, or the Bloodhill Bandits, who were notorious in the region. The settlement was almost completely defenseless (only a handful of footmen were stationed in the town), and the Blackrock orcs were preparing to attack. In response, the Order of the Silver Hand moved quickly to counter the orcs' aggression, dispatching the legendary paladin Uther the Lightbringer and Prince Arthas to the scene. Uther advanced to the encampment and Arthas stood behind to defend Strahnbrad. On his way to Strahnbrad, Arthas rescued Little Timmy from gnolls and killed Menag, Benedict, and their band. Finally, Arthas and his footmen arrived at Strahnbrad, but the attack had already begun. Dean, Joe, Mike, Scott, and many more villagers died. A brief battle took place at Strahnbrad, however, some defenders of Strahnbrad reunited with Arthas and his men and together they routed the orcs easily. The attack was directed by Slave Master of the Blackrock orcs, but Arthas and his men defeated his grunts and raiders, finally killing him. The Alliance won the battle, but much Strahnbrad's population was devastated by the Blackrock raid.W3 Human 1 Arthas and Uther later discovered that the orcs had raided Strahnbrad for slaves to sacrifice in the name of the Burning Legion.W3 Human 2
Strahnbrad was one of the few settlements of Lordaeron to survive the coming of the Plague of Undeath, but fell years later to the Syndicate without the protection of Lordaeron's army. Now inhabited by Syndicate personnel, Strahnbrad is a base of operations for that organization as it conducts efforts throughout the Hillsbrad Foothills and Arathi Highlands aimed at weakening the Alliance.
A store called "Bob's Guns" and Tracey's Armory" could be seen in Strahnbrad during the raid.
