The Balnir Farmstead.
The Balnirs were a family of human farmers and horse-breeders who lived at the Balnir Farmstead in the Tirisfal Glades. They were one of the earliest families to settle in the region, having lived there since at least 1,200 years BDP.[1] Their farmstead, among others, was known for breeding the great white horses of Lordaeron that were regularly bought as mounts by the royal household, including Invincible (the steed of Prince Arthas Menethil) and Reverence (the steed of King Anduin Wrynn of Stormwind).[2][3] As a child, Prince Arthas often visited the Balnirs to play with their son Jarim.[2] Years later, after Arthas murdered his father, he found that the Scourge had ravaged the farm and killed the entire family.[4]
