Southshore was a port that served as the chief Alliance base on the northern coast of [[Baradin Bay]]. It was known for its sea turtles, which were a delicacy.<ref>{{ref book |author= White Wolf |title= [[Alliance Player's Guide]] |isbn= 9781588467737 |pages=218}}</ref> Though only a small town, Southshore was the largest settlement in the whole Hillsbrad Foothills. A small Alliance garrison was berthed within and did its best to drive the Syndicate and Forsaken forces from their land while protecting Lordaeron’s southern regions from the Scourge in the north. They did a good job with their few forces, and the nearby farms thrive. Southshore’s town council took an active role in all things, and [[Magistrate Henry Maleb]] was a particularly driven and wise man. Maleb and Marshal Redpath, the Alliance commander, were consumed with fights against ogres in [[Alterac Mountains|Alterac]] and [[murloc]]s. In addition to its role as a base for Alliance military forces, Southshore was Hillsbrad’s mercantile center. Southshore’s small privateer fleet kept the waterways around the shore clear, allowing ships to dock at the town’s harbor and keep the economy strong.<ref>{{ref book |author=Arthaus |title=[[Lands of Conflict]] |isbn=9781588469601 |pages=98}}</ref>
 
 
It was also one of the few existing relics of the once-great human nation of [[Lordaeron]]. With the remains of the city-states of [[Dalaran]] and [[Stromgarde]], Southshore was one of the few Alliance controlled towns in Lordaeron.
 
 
The survivors of Stormwind arrived at Southshore after fleeing their destroyed kingdom of [[Stormwind (kingdom)|Stormwind]] in the First War. It was transformed into a busy seaport during the [[Second War]].<ref>{{ref book |author= Dille, Ed |authorlink= Ed Dille |coauthors= [[Eric Anthony Morman]] |title = [[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness The Official Strategy Guide]] |isbn= 978-0-7615-0188-6 |pages=105}}</ref> But was attacked and burned to the ground by the rampaging [[Horde (pre-Thrall)|Horde]], though it was later rebuilt. To this day the people celebrate [[Hordefall]], signifying the defeat of the Horde in the Second War.
 
 
Southshore contained an Alliance garrison within and it did its best to drive away surrounding enemies, which include the [[Syndicate]] from [[Durnholde Keep]] and the [[Forsaken]], which now inhabit the former human settlement of [[Tarren Mill]] to the northeast.
 
 
==Significance==
 
[[File:Hillsbrad Tabard.jpg|thumb|Hillsbrad tabard]]
 
 
For the lower-level Alliance players (those not seasoned enough to dare entering the Western and Eastern Plaguelands), Southshore was one of two of the northernmost Alliance havens — the other being [[Aerie Peak]]. For utilitarian purposes, Southshore far outstrips Aerie Peak considering the array of its services and its location as well as being the drop-off point for players beginning the long trek on foot to the [[Scarlet Monastery]]. But it is far less safe, sometimes being the location of raids going between the town and its Horde counterpart, Tarren Mill, to the North.
 
 
An NPC [[quest giver]] named [[Marshal Redpath]] stood outside the Southshore Town Hall. It is unknown if he was related to the Redpaths whose history is so interlaced with the Eastern Plaguelands. Inside the inn, [[Lieutenant Farren Orinelle]] mocks Redpath for telling him to take care of the local [[murloc]]s.

==Quests==
 
A number of quests involving the [[Syndicate]] and [[ogre]]s in [[Alterac Mountains]] started in '''Southshore'''. Also, a few quests that could be found at the inn, involve killing the nearby [[murloc]]s and [[naga]]. After the [[2.0.1]] patch, a new quest is now available in the inn from a [[Draenei]] named [[Huraan]].
 
 
For a full list of quests see [[Hillsbrad Foothills quests]].
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
*The stable master [[Wesley]] located next to the entrance of the inn was believed to be a nod from [[Blizzard]] to the movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_Bride_%28film%29 The Princess Bride]. The main character of the movie is named Wesley, has fair blond hair, and wields a rapier just like the one the stable master is holding. Also in the movie Wesley is a stable boy, thus he is a Stable Master in WoW.
 
*A level 44 [[Elite creature|elite]] [[undead]], [[Helcular's Remains]], sometimes spawned in the Southshore Graveyard to seek revenge. This is caused by a Horde quest chain.
 
*Southshore was famous for being raided by horde players. Usually the attacks are carried out by merely one or more high-level players, but entire raids consisting of 20-30 players have been observed. This unfortunate attribute of Southshore is further fueled with the seasonal event [[Hallow's End]], which involves a Horde-quest asking players to bomb Shouthshore with stinkbombs. The Alliance has a responsive quest which asks Alliance-players to clean the mess up. Although Southshore has a history of being raided by the Horde in the lore-part of the game, there is little profit in raiding Southshore for players. Thus, it is not certain why Horde players go through the hassle with assembling people for raiding it, or why Southshore of all villages has been chosen for this...This could of been to avenge attacks on [[Tarren Mill]].
 
 
==World of Warcraft: Cataclysm==
 
{{cata-section}}
 
[[File:Ruins of Southshore.jpg|thumb|250px|Ruins of Southshore]]
 
 
Southshore is destroyed by the [[New Plague|Forsaken Blight]] in ''Cataclysm'' due to the [[Forsaken]], and is now called the [[Ruins of Southshore]].
 
 
== Southshore in the Past {{bc-inline}} ==
 
In the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion, adventurers are asked to help preserve the timeline by aiding a young [[Thrall]] escape from his cruel masters at Durnholde Keep. They are transported to Hillsbrad — seven years in the past. Instead of heading straight to Durnholde, however, players may explore a portion of Hillsbrad, including both Tarren Mill and '''Southshore'''.
 
 
There are many familiar faces in this past '''Southshore'''. [[Bartolo Ginsetti]] talks about the "world-famous" cloaks he will be making and [[Nat Pagle]] idly fishes off the dock. A trio of familiar characters run around as children: [[Sally Whitemane]], [[Renault Mograine]], and [[James Vishas|Little Jimmy Vishas]]. There's also [[Herod]] the Bully wandering around somewhere.
 
 
Inside the inn, there's a hushed conversation between [[Highlord Alexandros Mograine]], [[Isillien]], [[Fairbanks]], [[Brigitte Abbendis]], [[Arcanist Doan]] and [[Tirion Fordring]] about the rumors of [[undead]] far to the north, and the forging of the [[Ashbringer]]. Upstairs, [[Stalvan Mistmantle]] snores away, while a young [[Taelan Fordring]] carries his father's hammer proudly. [[Phin Odelic]] studies with a cabal of [[Kirin Tor]] [[mage]]s, and every so often a pair of mages will walk through the town: [[Kel'Thuzad]] as well as [[Helcular]]. There's also a familiar [[goblin]] merchant working on completing his Overwatch Protector "Mark 0."
 
 
In the town hall, you can also find [[Nathanos Blightcaller|Nathanos Marris]] and [[Raleigh the Devout|Raleigh the True]].
 
 
==Patch changes==
 
*{{Patch 1.4.0|note=Properly named the intact watchtower near Southshore.}}
 
 
==Warcraft II demo==
 
In the Tides of Darkness demo, the second Alliance level called [[Southshore (WC2 demo)|Southshore]] is an early version of the retail's [[Southshore (WC2 Alliance)|Southshore mission]]. The retail version reused some of text from the earlier version of the mission briefing but was modified. For example the reason for the construction of the Southshore naval facilities is a bit different in the two versions of the mission. The retail versions of the missions also have redesigned maps.
 
 
Note: The Tides of Darkness demo represents missions from an early version of the game (perhaps the beta version) left out of the released game and later released lore. Some of the ideas evolved into the different maps seen in the released version of the game.
 
 
The demo version of the mission describes southern islands found south of the [[Southshore region]]. While the islands in the demo are not given names, these may have developed into the idea of the [[Channel Islands]] (though not the parts in the [[Zul'dare region]] as those are south of Hillsbrad (based on the location of Zul'Dare shown on the Second War map).[http://www.wowwiki.com/Image:War2.jpg] Another possible area they developed into could be the region near Tol Barad, which is southeast of Southshore. Tol Barad is shown to have at least two islands according to manual map.
 
 
Note that most drawn maps do not even show the Channel Islands, so the full extent of the island chain is unknown. A few concept maps show the channel islands stretching all throughout the area between Hillsbrad and Southshore.[http://www.wowwiki.com/Image:Easternkingdoms2.jpg] This map also shows Tol Barad to be a huge island chain southwest and close to Southshore.
 
 
The demo mission maps for Southshore show the islands as being to the southwest and very near Southshore's shore. Although the Warcraft II battle maps like most maps in World of Warcraft games are not necessarily to actual scale, and may be limited by game mechanics (note that most Warcraft II maps don't even show the Channel Islands). The Second War map only shows a single island east of the Southshore dot (the dot may represent the general area of the region or the township). It may be possible that this island may correspond to these "islands".
 
 
While not directly related, the Tides of Darkness mission map of the third Horde level, called Southshore, shows at least two islands are located in a similar configuration. The Orcs were gathering oil from a hidden location on these islands, in order to fuel for ships participating in the final attack on Hillsbrad.[http://www.wowwiki.com/Tides_of_Darkness_missions]
 
 
In the demo map, you start on one small island and take over a much smaller island. In the Alliance level called Southshore, you attack from Southshore to that much smaller island.
