One of the things that we like about Blizzard (http://wow.qj.net/tags/blizzard/76)'s World of Warcraft (http://wow.qj.net/category/News/cid/2738) is that some (if not most) locations found in-game are picture-perfect. And that's where the screen capture function kicks in. In WoWInsider's recent Around Azeroth (http://wow.qj.net/tags/azeroth/2264) update, Jarsa from Death of Art took a picture of fiery Stratholme, the city that burned ever since Prince Arthas' siege against the undead (http://wow.qj.net/tags/the-undead/10962) plague.

There's a great and tragic history behind the eternally-burning city. Stratholme was once a prosperous city, second only to the capital city of Lordaeron. Now possessed by the Scourge (http://wow.qj.net/tags/scourge/2265), parts of the city is currently under the power of the Undead forces led by Baron Rivendare.

Burning or not, Stratholme still is a worthy tourist spot for Azeroth natives strong enough to venture abroad and into a zombie (http://wow.qj.net/tags/zombie/5394)-infested city. There's so much to see, and yes, there's the Angelista mystery (http://www.qj.net/WoW-mystery-Who-is-Angelista-/pg/49/aid/116565) floating around the city to check out as well.
