If I remember the events of Warcraft 2 correctly (and it's been a few years since I played so I might be wrong), the Alliance had basically backed the Horde into a corner at Blackrock Spire and Lothar had arranged to meet with Doomhammer for some sort of a cease-fire or to get the Horde to surrender. While on-route to the meeting, though, Lothar and his escorts were ambushed, and he was killed before ever getting to Doomhammer.

Personally, I think "For Lothar!" would make a great battlecry for the Alliance. The current "Grab your sword and fight the Horde" is, let's face it, more than a bit cheesy. Makes me think of some army recruiter posters and slogans I've seen. It just doesn't inspire me to feel like I have anything in common with my fellow Alliance members. "For Lothar!", though, commemorates a hero who fought to protect everything that he and those who followed him loved and cherished even if it meant his own death.

For Lothar, the Lion of Azeroth!
