This item is an objective of [[Quest:The Bloodsail Buccaneers (4)]].
[[image:stratholme.jpg|thumb|Stratholme]]
 
The second largest human city in [[Lordaeron]], matched only by the capital, Stratholme was the base of key oil refineries in the [[Second War]]. In its glory days this jewel of humanity's largest and proudest nation housed more than 50,000 people, and included many well known buildings, from the glorious keep to Fras Siabi's famous tobacco shop.
 
   
  +
== As an object ==
The city's population was almost completely massacred by [[Arthas]], who believed the citizens had become infected with the Undead plague; the majority of the survivors left with [[Jaina Proudmoore]]. When Arthas was called back to Northrend, the Lich, [[Kel'thuzad]] established Stratholme as his capital and constructed his citadel, known as [[Naxxramas]], above the ruined towers. Leading [[Scourge]] forces in the city below was a [[death knight]] known as [[Baron Rivendare]], a former noble of Lordaeron who coordinated the efforts of the [[Lich King]] in the [[Plaguelands]] until his death at the hands of operatives in the employ of the [[Argent Dawn]]. Today the city houses a few thousand Scarlet Crusade warriors who fight valiantly (or fanatically, depending on who you ask) against the thousands of undead.

:''Once the jewel of northern Lordaeron, the city of Stratholme is where Prince Arthas turned against his mentor, [[Uther Lightbringer]], and slaughtered hundreds of his own subjects who were believed to have contracted the dreaded [[plague]] of undeath. Arthas' downward spiral and ultimate surrender to the Lich King soon followed. The broken city is now inhabited by the undead Scourge -- led by the powerful lich, Kel'thuzad. A contingent of [[Scarlet Crusade|Scarlet Crusaders]], led by Grand Crusader [[Dathrohan]], also holds a portion of the ravaged city. The two sides are locked in constant, violent combat. Those adventurers brave (or foolish) enough to enter Stratholme will be forced to contend with both factions before long. It is said that the city is guarded by three massive watchtowers, as well as powerful [[necromancer|necromancers]], [[banshee|banshees]] and [[abomination|abominations]]. There have also been reports of a malefic [[Death Knight]] riding atop an unholy steed, dispensing indiscriminate wrath on all those who venture within the realm of the Scourge.''

Stratholme is basically divided into two parts, at least in the minds of players. Scarlet-Side, which goes from the main entrance into the Scarlet Crusade-controlled citadel, and Scourge-Side, which goes from the Service Entrance (which requires a key) to a Scourge Slaughterhouse. However, both "sides" are part of the same instance and players can complete both tracks.

*[[Quest:Above and Beyond|Above and Beyond]]{{Alliance Icon Small}}{{Horde Icon Small}}: This is a follow-up to [[Quest:The Truth Comes Crashing Down|The Truth Comes Crashing Down]]. It simply requires you to kill [[Baron Rivendare]].
 
*[[Quest:Houses of the Holy|Houses of the Holy]]{{Alliance Icon Small}}{{Horde Icon Small}}: This requires you to pick up [[Stratholme Holy Water]], which is in crates around around the instance. Some crates are corrupted and will contain rats or maggots instead, which you will have to kill. If you have a [[rogue]] in the group, they can tell you which crates are corrupted by using [[Detect Traps]]. Alternatively, a [[dwarf]] in the group can use the [[Treasure Finding]] racial ability to determine which crates are ''not'' corrupted.
 
*The quests for the [[Dungeon Set 2]] upgrades require you to engage [[Baron Rivendare]] in 45 minutes. See the [[Baron in 45]] guide. There is also a [http://www.wowwiki.com/Image:Baron45.jpg graphic map] displaying what and where to pull to reach the baron using the less possible time.
 
*[[Quest:Ramstein|Ramstein]]{{Horde Icon Small}}: This quest becomes available from [[Nathanos Blightcaller]] after completing his first two sets of quests. You must kill the abomination, [[Ramstein]], who comes out of the slaughterhouse just before you fight [[Baron Rivendare]]. Loot the Head of Ramstein the Gorger from his body and hand it in to Nathanos.

Inv letter 15

As a quest objective

This item is an objective of Quest:The Bloodsail Buccaneers (4).

As an object

Bloodsail Orders

The Bloodsail Orders can be found in one of two places in Stranglethorn Vale.

Contains

Bloodsail Orders

Pay attention to these here words closely, me hearties, for we only got one shot at Booty Bay.

I've sent Ol' Dunken scouting to the north and told him to wait for the signal.

The Damsel's Luck will drop anchor off the southern cape for purposes of supply. Captain Stillwater, the little shorty, is to have his crew prepare to haul up all the plundered loot. I'm sure Brutus, that blockhead, will be on top of things.

I want Captain Keelhaul to bring The Spell nature riptide [Riptide] up to shore from the southeast. We'll send his crew in on foot when the signal is given.

That big lug, Salthoof, can take the men in swinging. I want the black spot placed on Revilgaz and Seahorn. Send 'em right to the bottom of the sea for all I care.

You blokes are responsible for salvaging anything that might be of use for our little project with VanCleef in the Deadmines.

I'll give the order for Ironpatch to fire the guns. The artillery barrage will keep any Blackwater ships from leaving or entering the port.

After The Crimson Veil has unloaded her guns, I'll bring her alongside The Riptide for support and provide reserves as needed.

Once Salthoof and his boys have fired the town and all hands are on deck, we set sail and give the Bay one more shelling from the Savage Coast for good measure.
