Stratholme

Strath, short for Stratholme, is a lvl 56-60 instance/raid located in Eastern Plaguelands which is split between 2 sides. A living side and an undead side, Both of which have their own bosses and routes but are technically connected by a couple of pathways. Initially intended as a 10man raid instance eventually scaled down some rough spawns during Patch 1.6.0 and was later had a player cap drop to 5. Stratholme was redone during the Cataclysm launch with patch 4.0.3 and was changed to a 42-56 instance as well as having boss and mob changes.

Scarlet/Live Stratholme

Scarlet Strath is what was usually considered the shorter half of Stratholme which contained 4 main bosses and 5 optional bosses. Known for the place to farm Righteous Orbs used in high end crafting and Crusader Enchants. Upon entering there were a bunch of ghostly citizens who appeared neutral. It was possible to attack them intentionally or by mistake and eventually became annoying. You could do a short quest outside nearby to get an Egon Blaster which let you turn them into friendly harmless wisps. Another alternative was to /dance in order to have them turn to you and dance as well which was quite amusing.
