Lore
King Thoradin united the human tribes into the empire of Arathor and founded Strom, its first capital, in the highlands, with a great wall to hold off the Amani trolls. As Arathor split into city-states, Thoradin's descendants left, and Faldir led a group south to found Stormwind.
Strom's remaining ruling families built it into the kingdom of Stromgarde, long defended by the Trollbane family against the Witherbark trolls. After the Plague of Undeath, Boulderfist ogres and the Syndicate helped overrun Stromgarde Keep, and its surviving army fled to a northern canyon that became Refuge Pointe.
Hammerfall began as an internment camp for orcs. The Horde later took it and now uses it as its base in the region.
