From the lore
King Thoradin built Strom, the capital of Arathor, in this dry and craggy country. Near it he raised a great wall to shield his people from the Amani trolls. The empire fell, and the Imperial Guard that stayed behind founded Stromgarde in the old city. Thoradin's Wall still runs along the northern edge, collapsed and gaping wide.
Stromgarde escaped the Scourge's plague, then fell to the Syndicate and the Boulderfist ogres. The remnant of its army fled the city for a small canyon to the north, now called Refuge Pointe. Prince Galen Trollbane leads the human defenders, and they, the Syndicate and the ogres still fight over the ruined city.
In the east the Horde holds Hammerfall, a camp for captured orcs that it took over and renamed for the fallen warchief Orgrim Doomhammer.

Refuge Pointe. When Stromgarde's capital fell in ruins after the Third War, most of its people fled south. The remnants of the army stayed behind, determined to win their land back, and they hold this outpost. (source)
Boulder'gor. A rough, broken hill rises north of Stromgarde Keep. Boulderfist ogres hold a mound on it, and Witherbark forest trolls loiter on its slopes beside them. (source)
Thoradin's Wall. Against the Amani trolls, King Thoradin ordered a great wall raised soon after he founded Strom, the capital of Arathor. (source)
