Valgarde is an Alliance settlement in Northrend. The settlement serves as a major port for the Alliance forces as it is one of two on the entire continent of Northrend, along with Valiance Keep.
It was originally founded by the First Legion of the Lordaeron Army when Crown Prince Arthas Menethil burned down the ships, preventing them from returning home to Lordaeron, and was presumably abandoned sometime after Prince Arthas' betrayal and the death of King Terenas Menethil II.
During the War against the Lich King, it was garrisoned and renovated with newer structure designs by Alliance forces from the Valiance Expedition under Vice Admiral Keller, and came under heavy attack from the nativy Vrykul approximately one month later.
