Once the breadbasket of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Western Plague Lands were ravaged by the Lich King's plague, shattered by the Scourge, and trampled by the battles of the Third War.
Roaming bands of undead - some the very same people who had called it home in life - desecrated the area as plague cauldrons polluted the skies.
The small city of Andorhal was a center grain distribution, and in the end became home to the undeath it inadvertently helped spread.
Sorrow Hill cemetery was home to the countless victims of the the plague and the war that followed in its wake.
It was also the final resting place of one of the kingdom's greatest heroes, Uther the Lightbringer, first Paladin of the Knights of the Sacred Hand.
Lordaeron was not the only combatant to lose leaders in the war. The necromancer Kel'Thuzad was slain not far from his horrific school of the dark arts, Scholomance.
Across Darromere Lake, near the shore of the river Thondroril, a new menace loomed amid the war torn lands.
The Scarlet Crusade had descended into something like madness. Once mercenaries out to vanquish the undead, they became ruthless in their assaults on both the living and the dead.
The Crusaders fortified ruins and existing structures, claiming them as their own.
The Northridge Lumbermill fueled their expansion, despite adventurers' many attempts to disable the camp.
The Scarlet Crusade occupied the entire city of Hearthglen.
Taelan Fordring, son of Highlord Tirion Fordring, welcomed the Scarlets and their madness to his town. He assumed his father's title and took his place among the local leadership of the Crusade.
