Thalstad's Holdfast

Thalstad's Holdfast is a keep constructed between a small pass in the Arathi Highlands that divides the Highlands from the Hinterlands. The Keep and the province itself is currently ruled by Alastaere Talraenal and it is the seat of the House of Talraenal. It was constructed in the years following the Troll Wars by Thalstad the Second after the lands were awarded to the Talraenal's for their part in holding the pass against the Amani Trolls for weeks. The holdfast and province itself were named after Thalstad Talraenal, the father of Thalstad the Second. Who perished in combat some time before reinforcements from the Empire of Arathor were able to arrive.

With the return of Alastaere Talraenal from Draenor and his joining with the Argent Crusade, the Holdfast and the province have joined with the Argent Crusade.
