![]() Lakeshire was under constant attack from the Blackrock orcs, Redridge gnolls, and Shadowhide gnolls and also lacked a proper defense. Though Bolvar respected Lady Prestor's stance, he could not let Solomon's plight go unheeded and thought of a compromise to appease all parties: Bolvar deputized the adventurers and empowered them to solve Solomon's problems. However, Lady Prestor thought very little of Magistrate Solomon's claims and advised against providing the military aid. Bolvar sent Alliance adventurers to Lady Katrana Prestor, who knew much of dragons and dragonkin. Bolvar however, was debilitated from sending Stormwind's thinly spread troops to aid Lakeshire without proof. Solomon relayed this information to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon and pleaded with him to mobilize the Stormwind army to contend with this grave threat to the kingdom. Sometime later, Helendis Riverhorn gave Magistrate Solomon evidence that the Blackrock orcs were allying themselves with the black dragonflight. The dwarves of Ironforge sent a group to Lakeshire's aid against the Blackrock orcs, made up of Princess Moira Bronzebezard and her retinue, but they were ambushed and captured in the Burning Steppes. Foreman Oslow also led a crew of bridge workers in repairing the bridge but their work was slowed due to losing various supplies to the orc invasions. During one of the Blackrock orc assaults on Lakeshire, Everstill Bridge was damaged. Lakeshire continued to fend them off but they were sorely in need of more reinforcements and supplies. Meanwhile, the Blackrock orcs continued to assault Lakeshire in their bid to conquer Redridge. ![]() Both orc and man had fallen victim to the brutes that serve Morganth. He constructed an arcane tower, the Tower of Ilgalar, and used his powers to build a small army of Shadowhide gnolls led by Lieutenant Fangore, to serve his malicious bidding. Shortly after their victory, Morganth turned on his orcish cohorts. Stonewatch Keep however, was overrun by Blackrock orcs who were presumably fueled by the evil magic of Morganth. However, there was a small guard platoon stationed in Lakeshire to maintain order in the town and they also originally had a garrison of soldiers in Stonewatch. Like Westfall and Duskwood, the Redridge Mountains was also under the theoretical protection of the Stormwind army and - like them - has been left mostly to its own devices. įollowing the Second War, Lakeshire and Redridge would be retaken by Stormwind. Blackhand and the other survivors left the area as well but returned after several weeks with a larger force and took Lakeshire and the surrounding land. Blackhand was accompanied by two Shadow Council warlocks who turned the tide of battle and forced Lothar to retreat. Anduin Lothar led his knights down the slopes and ambushed the orcs and almost succeeded in defeating them. During the First War, Warchief Blackhand led a small orc raiding party into the Redridge Mountains, seeking to claim Lakeshire as a Horde stronghold.
