Battle for Stratholme and Hearthglen | Warcraft 3 Reforged

Описание: The Plague of Undeath sweeping over Lordaeron reached Stratholme in infected shipments of grain from Andorhal. The populace, unaware of the plague, baked and consumed the infected grain, unknowingly sealing their fates. The dreadlord Mal'Ganis had chosen Stratholme for some specific reasons. It was heavily populated and was the Eastweald's most important city, strategically and economically. It was also a holy site, being the Silver Hand paladin order's birthplace. If Stratholme fell to the plague and became an undead stronghold, Lordaeron would lose their control of the Eastweald.
Soon after, as the first undead started to rise, Prince Arthas, Uther the Lightbringer, Jaina Proudmoore, and a contingent of soldiers arrived at Stratholme, but soon realized the city had already been infected. Arthas believed that the only way to prevent Stratholme from becoming a bastion of the Scourge was to purge the city. And so, the Prince ordered his comrades to kill the plagued (but not yet turned) citizens. For Arthas, this was as much of an act of mercy as it was a strategic decision. If the populace of Stratholme knew they were about to turn into undead monsters that would attack everyone they loved, what would they prefer? Arthas knew if he contracted the plague he would rather die a clean death as a free-willed human than a mindless walking corpse.
