Eastern Kingdoms: Eastern Plaguelands

Across the River Thondroril the lands that once were Lordaeron continued into the Eastern Plaguelands. Here the marks of war and plague were most painfully visible.

Many of the homes in Darrowshire were haunted by their previous owners.

Others simply stood empty, left to decay.

The tiny village of Northdale was caught between the wrath of the scourge's banshees and the neighboring tribe of trolls.

Driven to madness and cannibalism, with half their people already undead, most of the remaining Mossflayer Trolls fell back to the temple city of Zul'Mashar.

Several of the turned trolls, lead by Zaeldarr the Outcast, migrated south to The Undercroft, haunting the humans' sepulcher and occasionally raiding near by graveyards .

Scattered around the Plaguelands were many reminders of the Third War.

Corin's Crossing became a battlefield in it's own right between the remainder of the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade.

Behind the towering walls of Tyr's Hand the Crusaders fell deeper into their madness, openly attacking both the living and the dead.

A city filled with churches once dedicated to the Light, the clergy of the Scarlet Crusade preached retribution for the Plague, earning them recruits and followers.

The Scarlet Basilica rivaled the glory of Stormwind's Cathedral of Light.

Even behind their walls, the Crusade was not invulnerable. The Lich King's Death Knights invaded the shore-side Scarlet Enclave, destroying all in their path.

The abandoned camp at Death's Reach is all that remains of the attacking forces. The Death Knights were as cunning as they were cruel.

Light's Hope Chapel was home to the few remaining Argent Dawn forces in the area. It also loomed over the Battle of Light's Home Chapel that freed the Death Knight's from Arthas' command.

The rest of the Scourge was not so lucky. Plaguewood swarmed with risen skeletons and mindless ghouls.

The Fungal Vale was manned by laboring undead, building the ziggurats and war-machines that would roll across the lands.

Abominations were stitched together with dark magic in the Noxious Glade.

Terrordale - its origonal name long forgotten - was among the first villages to fall to the might of the Scourge.

Swarms of Nerubians poured from the Terrorweb Tunnel, overtaking the town.

The ill-fated city of Stratholme remained standing in the northern most reaches of Eastern Plaguelands, a reminder of the evils that took place within its walls.
