Fagerstrom

Founded by Gaillard Matthew, a knight of Strom some eight hundred years after King Thoradin's time, Fagerstrom is a fortress on the shores of the Forbidden Sea, to the southeast of Dun Modr. Due to the lack of forests in the Arathi Highlands, Fagerstrom's main importance to Strom is its seemingly endless supply of wood, which it ships to all harbours in the realm. Fagerstrom is also known for producing more sailors per capita than any other port in the world, for whatever reason.
The name of the fort comes from the Oldspeak words fager (south), and strom (storm). Gaillard Matthew originally envisioned the city to be an important trading post for ships sailing south, but a lack of trade routes on the eastern shores of Khaz'modan stopped the growth of the settlement, and sunk his dreams of a Second Strom.
Fagerstromites are mostly Lightist, and the town's protector saint is Saint Francis, who converted the population from their original faith in Mnesthes. The local delicacy is the "spotted dick", a kind of meat pudding.
During a war against Kul Tiras about a century before the Great War, Fagerstrom was infamously occupied by a Tirasian force, who entered the city through the back gate of the city walls.
After the Fall, it became the location of Sanctuary.
