The so-called Great Stratholm region, in words that World of Warcraft players can understand, is the eastern part of the Eastern Plague Lands plus the Western Plague.

To the east of the Valley of the Hearth, the mountains suddenly turn and plunge into a relatively flat area from west to east, and the Whitewater River flows from north to south into the great river formed by the rushing down of the Keldalon Falls.

So without mentioning the damn compromise on gameplay, it's actually more appropriate to divide this area into Upper Stratholme and Lower Stratholm.

The Upper Stratholme area does not have any justice in terms of geography and administration, and the plains and hilly areas around the Stratholme City Machine are treasures of feng shui.

In the Lower Stratholme area, there are a lot of bad things.

Chief among these controversies is Talonshire.

The Minahir family has an old tradition of mixing sand.

The core of the kingdom of Lordaeron is naturally Lordanmere, that is, the city of Lordaeron and the vast plains on the northern and eastern shores of Lake Lordaeron.

To the east, before the Barov family completed the exchange of sovereignty between Brill and Andorhar, Andorhar was a large swamp and tidal flat, although the development potential was huge, but it required a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to open up the land.

Therefore, the Valley of the Hearth, out of its own needs, naturally leaned towards Lordaeron City.

If humanity's expansion stops there, then the political landscape will be stable.

However, the path that the pioneers followed along the way to the rout of the trolls and discovered new lands hidden in the mountains, the generation of the Minehir family was intrigued.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be strange to look at the location of the city of Stratholme.

Why was it built in the mountains, from Stratholme, you need to go east out of the hilly area, south through the Kaulin junction to avoid the Hengduan Mountains, and then walk a longer way west to cross the White Water River and trade with the mountain people of Hearthvale.

This is very confusing, since the time of the Alaso Empire, there has been no shortage of architects for mankind, and the walls of Soladin can be built, what made the descendants of the Emperor make such an unlucky thing as Stratholme City?

The answer is a big earthquake.

Think of it as an earthquake.

The truth is that a long time ago, when Stratholm was built, at the end of the western woodland of Stratholme, the mountains were not closed.

The pioneers of Lordaeron were able to travel up the river Whitewater through a meandering gap between the mountains into what is now the Stratholme region.

Then, the traditional craftsmanship of human beings has become intriguing.

In order to pursue greater independence and freedom, after the initial construction of Stratholme, it should be regarded as a major earthquake, anyway, the most primitive passage collapsed, and it is impassable, don't ask, if you ask, it can't be repaired.

But Stratholme City has been built for so long, invested so much, and immigrated so much, it is impossible to give up.

The local lord of Stratholme said that it didn't matter, the head of Minehir, forget about us, we are not suitable.

However, Minethil I did not do anything, so he forcibly recruited the people to open the passage south of the Hengduan Mountains and re-communicate with Stratholme.

This is the truth of the pioneer history of the Lordaeron Kingdom of boiling, breeding, and robbery, and the truth of the intrigue between kings, lords, and people.

Having said all this, what does it have to do with Talonshire?

Competition, of course.

Daron County, what can you think of when you hear the name, Keldaron County.

In fact, the two places are separated by a mountain range more than 40 miles wide, and theoretically belong to neighbors.

Talon and Keldaron are both peacetime tourist destinations.

With pleasant scenery and abundant products, it is an important agricultural base.

So the contradiction came out.

Although the city of Stratholme has a handicraft industry, it is not at all competitive compared to the city of Lordaeron, so the export of agricultural products is an important means of earning foreign exchange.

But in this way, the goods of Stratholme City overlap with those of Daronshire.

The county of Talon is south of the Cowling junction, and the city of Stratholm has to turn a corner and continue west after crossing the Cowlin junction and going north.

With such high shipping costs, how to play?

In times of peace, you can play as much as you want, but after the outbreak of the undead natural disaster, Dalong County suddenly found that he had nothing to play.

There is simply no time to transfer.

Those who have no permanent birth have no perseverance, and those who have permanent birth do not want to die.

The core area of Stratholm City is in the vicinity of Stratholm City, so they can quickly mobilize forces to deploy at the Kaulin junction, which has the taste of defending the enemy outside the country.

However, the landlords and old fortunes of Talung County were reluctant to give up their bottles and cans, and made the difficult decision to transfer and evacuate, and everyone still wanted to transfer their property together.

By the time the minions of the Undead Scourge had infiltrated the surrounding area, it was already difficult to leave.

Actually, Joseph. Redpass wrote to Carlos, also with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.

If the fall of Lordaeron was just a bad joke, if the situation wasn't so dire, wouldn't the Barovs of Andohar come to the aid of their old friend?

The Redpaths family are the nails that Minecil II placed in Stratholme.

This ancient family, which also dates back to the time of Soladin the Great, owns more than a third of the land in Talon County.

So they were reluctant to leave, with illusions, and finally ushered in the minions of natural disasters.

Carlos's reply clearly stated the current situation, asking the inhabitants of Dalonshire to travel as quickly as they could, and to move to Stratholme as soon as possible, and if it was too late, to abandon the village and take food into the mountains, with the preservation of their lives as the first priority.

But the inhabitants of Talon County were reluctant to give up their bottles and cans, and when the ghouls showed up, they were still laughing at the king of Alterac for only talking cold words.

What's worse is the terrible environment where external enemies and internal traitors coexist.

The Alliance's power was suppressed south of Andorhar, and the Scourge did not slaughter Lordaeron completely, and the two or five boys who were willing to sacrifice their hearts for the Lich King were given false powers.

Maduk in black is such a person.

Arthas's blade is unstoppable, but the prince is not interested in roaming the mountains to capture fugitives. With the Scourge already raging in the Lower Stratholm region, the Scourge descended headlong into the Hengduan Mountains, and while Alsace waited for the follow-up troops to assemble, he repaired the Psychrangar Tower according to Kel'thugad's report.

Arthas can be slackened, and the lackeys of the Scourge are in high spirits.

The small county of Talon does not need the presence of Arthas, the prince of the Scourge.

The black-clothed Marduk thought that with the command of the King of Ghouls, Hogus, and the Three Thousand Scourges, he could give a generous gift to His Royal Highness.

The destruction of Talonshire is his dedication to the Scourge of the Dead.
