Prince Arthas followed
Mal'Ganis to Stratholme. The population of Stratholme had fallen to the plague which would soon turn them into Undead subjects of Mal'Ganis. Arthas decided to slaughter the entire population to stop this, against the pleas of Uther the Lightbringer. This was one of Arthas' first evil acts that led to him becoming the Lich King.
