Menethil

The Menethils (sometimes called the Menethil Dynasty) were the ruling family of the Kingdom of Lordaeron prior to the nation's destruction and the murder of King Terenas Menethil II by his son, Prince Arthas at the start of the Third War. The house was known for their kindness to the Wrynns during the Second War, when the Horde ruled over the lands of Stormwind. The Menethils ruled for many decades, with Terenas' reign alone lasting 50 years.

Terenas's grandfather is said to have had successful negotiations with the elves of Quel'Thalas over the borders there for his northern vassals.

Staff

• In life, Wroth was a torturer in the court of King Terenas.
• Given their name, the Alliance resistance Royal Guards may be the former protectors of the Lordaeronian monarchs.

Notes

• Since King Terenas has a "II" at the end of his name, there must have been a Terenas Menethil I or Terenas I of Lordaeron at one point.
