Northwatch Hold is a massive Alliance fortress located between the Merchant Coast in the Southern Barrens and Dustwallow Marsh. Following years of destructive warfare, it is one of two Alliance positions held in the Barrens, the other being Bael Modan. Grim forces — soldiers loyal to Jaina Proudmoore's father Admiral Daelin Proudmoore — man the Hold, much like Tiragarde Keep in Durotar. Due to the events following the Third War and Jaina's decision to forge an alliance with the orcs, which eventually resulted in Admiral Proudmoore's death, the soldiers here harbor a hatred of the Horde and attack its people and outposts often. It is important to note that Jaina Proudmoore openly opposes their actions, which causes strife in the area's Alliance politics. Northwatch's location is strategic, blocking the coastal approaches to Dustwallow from the north, forcing any Horde assault to travel south and navigate the marshes if they wanted to reach Theramore Isle.
