-==Biography==
+*[[Ashtongue Handler]] slain (3)
-Terenas Menethil II was born in court of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, one of the strongest human nations, as member of the royal Menethil family which had ruled the kingdom for generations. Terenas grew up to become a wise and just ruler, who was greatly loved by his people. His long years of reign saw peace and brought prosperity for Lordaeron, but all this changed with the outset of the [[Second War]].

+==Description==
-===The Second War===
+The [[Ashtongue]] tribe is feared among all [[Broken]]. It consists of the most vicious and bloodthirsty individuals, handpicked by [[Akama]] himself. They are as fierce and ruthless as any naga, demon or blood elf in [[Illidan]]'s army and they have been deployed in large numbers at the Ruins of Baa'ri, to the north. Go there and put a dent in their numbers before they get a chance to mount an attack on us.
-After the [[First War]], refugees from the Kingdom of [[Azeroth]] arrived on the shores of Lordaeron, giving warnings of the [[orc]]s and the invasion that was to come. Terenas called delegates from neighboring nations, and, after hearing the horror stories from [[Anduin Lothar]] and his people, they agreed to forge the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]].
+==Progress==
-Terenas led the forces of Lordaeron in valiant battle against the onslaught of [[Horde (pre-Thrall)|Horde]]. The [[Second War]] was taxing upon the Alliance and all in it. But in the end, their sacrifices were not in vain, and the Alliance won through, decimating the Horde and rounding up the surviving orcs into concentration camps, headed by [[Aedelas Blackmoore]]. The orc Warchief [[Orgrim Doomhammer]] was kept as the personal prisoner of Terenas, but he eventually escaped captivity and fled into hiding.

-Despite the end of the Second War, peace did not last long. When the troubles began, Terenas immediately decreed, in conjunction with [[Varian Wrynn]], who had assumed his rightful place on the throne of Azeroth, that their best people should travel to [[Draenor]] to retrieve the artifacts stolen by the [[Shadow Moon Clan]].

-Some years later, the matter of what to do with the Kingdom of [[Alterac]] came up. [[Lord Prestor]], who appeared to be a relative to the late [[Lord Perenolde]], was one of Terenas' trusted advisors during this time, and Terenas began to arrange a marriage for Prestor to his young daughter [[Calia]]. Prestor was endorsed by most Alliance nations as the new king of Alterac, solving everyone’s and particularly Terenas’ political nightmare. This plan was scrapped, however, when Prestor suddenly disappeared.

-As time wore on, Terenas grew more and more infirm, and he struggled to hold together the collapsing Alliance, despite all his pleas with the dissident nations, [[Gilneas]], [[Stromgarde]] and [[Quel'Thalas]]. His son, [[Arthas]], became the prized protégé of [[Uther the Lightbringer]], and a Paladin of the [[Silver Hand]].

-As the troubles began with the orcish uprisings through [[Arathi]], as well as the [[Plague]] spreading from the North, many of the Alliance representatives, especially the ones from [[Dalaran]], were pleading for a quarantine. But Terenas refused, saying that the people of Lordaeron had suffered enough. The [[Medivh|mysterious prophet]] unexpectedly materialized during a council of the Alliance, and he pleaded with Terenas to make haste to [[Kalimdor]] or all would be lost. Terenas, however, paid no heed, thinking him little more than a madman. It was here that King Terenas sealed his fate.

-Terenas heard of Arthas' strange behavior, especially his excursion to [[Northrend]] and destruction of [[Stratholme]], and he immediately ordered the troops recalled. But still, no word was heard for some time.

-Finally, Prince Arthas returned, victorious over the evil he had faced in Northrend. All of Lordaeron Capital rejoiced in festival, celebrating the long-awaited return of their heroic Prince. But something was amiss.
-As he knelt before his father, a dark voice flooded the thoughts of Arthas, and he rose up, drew his sword, and approached the throne, taking his father by the throat, and driving the dark runeblade, [[Frostmourne]], through his heart. Thus did Terenas, King of Lordaeron in the Second War, die at the hands of his own son.
-Terenas' ashes were kept in a magical urn, guarded by Uther the Lightbringer himself. Arthas, desiring the urn for his own ends, slew the great paladin, and discarded his father's ashes. The king's remains were recovered and interred reverently, behind the throne room of Lordaeron:
-:''Here lies King Terenas Menethil II -- Last True King of Lordaeron.
-:''Great were his deeds -- long was his reign -- unthinkable was his death.
-:''"May the Father lie blameless for the deeds of the son.  May the bloodied crown stay lost and forgotten."
-It is unknown who interred the remains, though speculation would point to Forsaken who still feel some residual loyalty to Lordaeron.
