'''Northwatch Hold''' is a massive [[Alliance]] fortress located between the [[Merchant Coast]] in the [[Southern Barrens]] and [[Dustwallow Marsh]]. It blocks the coastal approaches to Theramore from the north, forcing any [[Horde]] assault to travel south and navigate the marshes in order to reach [[Theramore Isle]]. It was once guarded by a large number of human {{npc||Theramore Marine}}s and {{npc||Theramore Preserver}}s, all levels 15-17 and loyal to [[Jaina Proudmoore|Lady Proudmoore]] of Theramore.

Northwatch Hold before the Shattering

Northwatch Hold is a massive Alliance fortress located between the Merchant Coast in the Southern Barrens and Dustwallow Marsh. It blocks the coastal approaches to Theramore from the north, forcing any Horde assault to travel south and navigate the marshes in order to reach Theramore Isle. It was once guarded by a large number of human Theramore Marines and Theramore Preservers, all levels 15-17 and loyal to Lady Proudmoore of Theramore.

The large naval base has massive walls and gates, an archery range, a stable, a blacksmith, tents, and two watch towers at the top of the mountain which the fort is located upon. The eastern tower was formerly the home of Cannoneer Smythe while Cannoneer Whessan resided in the western tower, both the objects of Horde quests. There was also a captured High elf, Gilthares Firebough, is chained to an iron ball in the central tower, seeking help and rescue by the hands of the Horde. At the top of this tower resided Captain Fairmount, leader of Northwatch Hold, who was also targeted by the Horde.

The inhabitants of the naval fortress of Northwatch Hold are friendly towards the Alliance, but before the Shattering, the area served no purpose to them. There were originally no vendors or trainers. The residents of the hold were simply to be killed by the Horde trying to claim the land, as well as a vengeful Captain Thalo'thas Brightsun for an attack on his ship.
