Lore
Orcs built Stonard in the First War, using the Black Morass as a base against Stormwind. It was badly damaged in that war and later rebuilt.
After the Gurubashi Empire fell, the renegade Atal'ai trolls fled into the swamp and built a temple to Hakkar the Soulflayer, performing rituals to summon him. Their dark magic warped local wildlife and drew the green dragonflight's attention. Ysera drowned the temple in a bog to stop the cult, and her consort Eranikus and loyal dragons guard the ruin.
