Menethil Harbor
From WoW-Quest.NET
- Population: 12,000
Menethil Harbor (men-a-thill) is a port town on the western shore of the Wetlands. It has a boat that sails to Auberdine in Darkshore, and another that sails to Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh. Both locations are on the continent of Kalimdor. Within the city are many vendors; a First Aid Trainer, the Deepwater Tavern, and a Gryphon Flight Master.
This major port city represents the Alliance presence in the Wetlands. Murlocs and Dragonmaw orcs are a constant threat to its citizens, who are braver and sterner than their kin. Captain Stoutfist, the town's military leader, can be found in Menethil Keep working to repel the Dragonmaw orcs. The captain is particularly concerned because the orcs seem to be preparing for a major assault.LoC 80

History
Menethil Harbor is named after the ruling dynasty of Lordaeron. The first Menethil Harbor existed between the times of the Second and Third Wars.BTDP 151, 157, 186
Horde and Scourge forces devastated the Wetlands in the Second and Third Wars, forcing the Ironforge dwarves to retreat to Loch Modan and Dun Morogh. Alliance forces have since established the current Menethil Harbor, but the area is still wild and untamed.LoC 80
It was originally established at the end of the Third War as the main sea link between Khaz Modan and the kingdoms of Alliance. It is the only stationary Alliance presence in the Wetlands, a small well-fortified city that numbers a little over ten thousand souls. Murloc and pirate incursions are a minor threat.[citation needed]
Menethil Harbor still serves a critical purpose as it serves as the main hub of Alliance naval routes between the old kingdoms of Khaz Modan and Stormwind, and their new allies at Theramore Isle and Auberdine.
