Tol Barad is the name and location of many historic battles fought between the forces of the Alliance and the Horde over the control of the Dun Modr region of Khaz Modan and the island of Tol Barad. The Horde was occupied with defending a small outpost in Dun Modr, while Kul Tiras and Stromgarde attempted strike out at the orc raiders from their base on Tol Barad. The Horde successfully repelled the attacks on their base, although the Alliance was able to successfully destroy it. Ultimately, the Horde was able to completely raze Tol Barad leaving only lifeless ruins.
