Ironically, it was Trollbane the one who provided by far the heaviest plot bombs during the DK Class Hall Campaign. One of them I did not see coming. If any of ye reading this wanted to one day see Stromgarde rise again...... well.......... you got it. Maybe not in the way you wanted, but you got it.
Spoiler
Turns out Prince Galen has seceded from the forsaken!!!! Moreover, he took with him all the other forsaken that were raised from Stromgardian citizens, formed an impromptu militia, and marched his forces towards Stromgarde, and conquered it. He kicked out the Syndicate, and kicked out the Ogres. And yes, he slayed the last living members of Stromgarde, and raised them as forsaken. How the hell he managed that without a valkyr, don't ask me. The game doesn't elaborate. He proclaimed himself "King" of stromgarde, and declared his independence. From the horde, the alliance, and anyone else. He says his kingdom is now sovereign land, and neither sylvanas, nor varian, nor anyone has any say on the fate of their lands.
When the knights of the Ebon Blade go to ask permission to access his father's grave (which can only be accessed with Trol'kalar, which is in Galen's hands) he says he'll agree only if you help him get rid of the last intruders in his kingdom. Turns out he was only able to clear out the segments of Stromgarde held by the syndicate and ogres. The trolls were too much for him and he can't get them out............
/facepalm
You do realize you have a sword, legendary for carving trolls like butter.
*sighs*
Whatever, we clear the trolls out, behead their leader, and then........ he just had to be stupid. Yep, in a strange turn of events, he says "Stromgarde is MINE, and neither Sylvanas, nor my father will take it back from me!!!!" and sics his guards on us. So we kill his paltry "honor guard", chase him to the Stromgardian chapel, have a final showdown, and he whines that we can't do this to him, he's king dammit!!!! >_>
I must add that Nazgrim is a complete BAMF both here and in the scarlet monastery, he's able to use Asphyxiate on multiple targets at once. Just like Saurfang Jr in Icecrown. Hey blizzard, when do we get THAT talent? *wink-wink*
We recover Trol'kalar from Galen's corpse, go to his father's grave, raise him, and what do you think its the first thing he asks us?

Hmm....... I did NOT see this coming. Ohh galen, you sneaky little #$%&er. You betrayed your old man, you betrayed sylvanas, you betrayed the very knights who helped you secure your kingdom. Now I don't feel like such a scumbag for having to kill you............ Again.
Anyhows, Thoras is apparently cut from the same cloth as Nazgrim. His kingdom may be dead and barren, but he'll be damned if he's just gonna sleep beneath the earth while a bunch of demons plan to take root on HIS soil. He'll fight. He does quite a display during the assault on the Scarlet Monastery I may add.Sweet merciful god, that was a lot of stuff for just ONE Class Hall Campaign. There's still 11 more for the other classes. And this particular campagin is incomplete, since there's still Tirion left, and a few other stuff too.
Maybe Legion wont be as bad after all.
