Stratholme Living Side The Unforgiven Hearthsinger Forresten Timmy the Cruel Malor the Zealous Cannon Master Willey Archivist Galford Grand Crusader Dathrohan Balnazzar Undead Side Baroness Anastari Nerub'enkan Maleki the Pallid Magistrate Barthilas Ramstein the Gorger Baron Rivendare The second largest human city in Lordaeron, matched only by the capital, Stratholme was the base of key oil refineries in the Second War. In its glory days this jewel of humanity's largest and proudest nation housed more than 20,000 people, and included many well known buildings, from the glorious keep to Fras Siabi's famous tobacco shop. The city's population was almost completely massacred by Arthas, who thought the only way of keeping the plagued (but not yet turned) citizens out of the hands of Mal'Ganis was by purging (killing) them; the majority of the survivors left with Jaina Proudmoore. When Arthas was called back to Northrend, the lich overlord Kel'Thuzad established Stratholme as his capital and positioned his fortress, the Necropolis Naxxramas, above the ruined city. Today, the city is split between the overzealous Scarlet Crusade led by Grand Crusader Dathrohan, and the Scourge forces led by the death knight Baron Rivendare.
