Stromgarde City

Stromgarde City, also known as Stromgarde Keep, is the capital of the Kingdom of Stromgarde. The city was renamed from Strom following the splintering of the Empire of Arathor. Following the death of Thoras Trollbane and the rise of the Syndicate, the city and the surrounding areas have fallen in dark times. Ogres have overrun the mage district while the Syndicate, under Lord Falconcrest, have taken the keep and the eastern district. Meanwhile, the forces of Stromgarde under Thoras' son Galen have held onto the north-western part and the Sanctum.

Construction
The city of Strom was built by the Arathi tribe of humans in the midst of the Troll Wars. It was the center of the Empire of Arathor for many years until the splintering of the Empire and the founding of the seven Kingdoms. Those who remained after the breakup of the empire chose to rename the city to Stromgarde and the Kingdom has been ruled by the Royal house of Trollbane ever since.

Currently
During the Third War, they managed to prevent the Undead Scourge from ravaging their lands, and sent the Stromgarde Brigade with Lady Jaina Proudmoore and the Human Expedition to Kalimdor. However, Thoras Trollbane was mysteriously assassinated, and the city came under siege by the Alterac Syndicate and the Boulderfist Clan of ogres, who now occupy the city. With Galen Trollbane's death and ressurection at the hands of the Forsaken, the future of the city remains unknown.
