However the Horde forces counter attacked retaking Dun Modr, and bringing forces to bear against Stromgarde's island citadel of Tol Barad. leaving the fortress in ruins. No life more complex than a few hardy weeds and insects survived the Horde's bloody victory. An aura of death seemed to radiate from the island. Tol Barad has become a frightening symbol of the Horde's merciless tenacity and barbarity.

While the Horde may have initially retaken the Dun Modr, their attack was successful. The Alliance held the ruins after the war, using it to stage attacks on orcs in the region but later lost it the Dark Iron dwarves.

The island nation of Kul Tiras later claimed the former stronghold as their own and established a prison over the ruins of the old fortress.
