Thoradin's Wall

Thoradin's Wall

Thoradin's Wall is a huge wall separating the Arathi Highlands from the Hillsbrad Foothills. The wall protected Stromgarde and the Arathi Highlands from the invading Scourge.

In World of Warcraft, the gigantic wall is heavily damaged. Something to also note, is that when in the Caverns of Time Durnholde Keep event (Escape from Durnholde Keep), this wall is perfectly intact.

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

There is no evidence or lore explaining the origin of the great wall, but some have supposed that King Thoradin built it ages past, during the Troll Wars, perhaps to protect his lands from the trolls' onslaught; note the ramps on the Hillsbrad side to give defenders access to the top of the wall.

It does, however, seem quite unlikely that a wall this massive was built in a single king's lifespan.

It is unclear why the wall is in ruins, however one can assume that possibly the local Ogre or Troll clans, or possibly the Syndicate may be responsible. Time may be responsible as well.

Additional Information

The damaged Thoradin's Wall shares the same model as the current ingame model of the Greymane Wall. In the Caverns of Time Durnholde Keep event behind the intact wall is still unfinished land, containing only discolored land and deformed mountains, as well as a huge ledge from which one can freely fall to their doom.
