Maldraz Forest

The Maldraz Forest, also known as the Tainted Forest, is an expanse of the revitalized area in the Tainted Scar, created thanks to the efforts of a worgen druid named Marl Wormthorn. Wormthorn travelled to the Blasted Lands along with a number of Gilneans and founded the port town of Surwich along the coastline.

However, the area wasn't cleansed from the demonic presence in the lands, and soon after the regrowth of the forest was finished it became corrupted, and Wormthorn with it. He continued to reside in the great tree Maldraz, from which the forest takes it's name, surrounded by demons and continued to grow the corrupted forest until his demise.
