![]() ![]() Although life started to emerge once again, war still raged places as Andorhal and Gahrron's Withering. The plague covering the region was mostly dispelled during the Cataclysm, thanks to the efforts of the Cenarion Circle. Some time later after the fall of the Scarlet Crusade and the war in Outland, the fight against the Scourge was brought to Northrend and victory claimed by the Ashen Verdict, the town of Hearthglen was reclaimed by its former lord and the leader of Argent Crusade, Tirion Fordring it now serves as a main base of operations and training ground for the Argent Crusaders in Lordaeron. In Year 24, the crusade invaded an unnamed settlement, killing its living inhabitants. With the kingdom collapsed, the Scarlet Crusade attempted to salvage what little of their lands remained, taking possession of Mardenholde Keep in Hearthglen as a regional headquarters. The trees in the Plaguelands pulsate with tumor-like growths, and the needles of the pines are a sickly brown. As Lordaeron collapsed, the farmlands and the forests began to die. Knowing that the quickest way to spread the Plague of Undeath would be via the grain exported from Andorhal, the necromancer Kel'Thuzad and his Cult of the Damned infected the grain with the Plague, and set up four massive plague cauldrons in the fields of the area's four largest farmsteads. The town of Hearthglen was the seat of the regional administration, while the town of Andorhal was the center of grain distribution in Lordaeron's northern provinces. ![]() The area now called the Western Plaguelands was a beautiful forested farmland east of Tirisfal Glades stretching from Lordaeron in the west to the Eastweald in the east. One of the most notable places in this region is Uther's Tomb. The Argent Crusade is based in their leader's home town, Hearthglen, which was reclaimed from the hands of now fallen Scarlet Crusade. The largest Scourge-controlled area left here is Caer Darrow, beneath which is an underground complex housing the undead's Scholomance. ![]() The region was spared by the conflicts of the Fourth War, despite Alliance troops crossing it to reach the Hillsbrad Foothills. During the Cataclysm, the Cenarion Circle nursed the majority of the land, bringing it back to its former state. It is a reclaimed portion of the tainted lands of the former Kingdom of Lordaeron, predominately held by the Argent Crusade, though the land is still haunted by the remnants of the undead Scourge.ĭespite being where the Plague took hold in Lordaeron, the Western Plaguelands were in surprisingly better condition, though still quite dead, than the Eastern Plaguelands. The Western Plaguelands are located in northern Lordaeron, wedged between Tirisfal Glades to the west, the Eastern Plaguelands to the east, and the Alterac Mountains to the south.
