Northgarde (Region)

Northgarde is a region of arable land, murky swamp, and cold beaches that run the northern coast of Lordaeron. Abandoned since the return of Arthas Menethil as a Death Knight, these prosperous but quaint lands fell to ruin and decay under the auspicious gaze of the Scourge.

In the months following the destruction of Garok Vale by the Burning Legion during its invasion of Azeroth, the League of Lordaeron wandered the lands of Lordaeron searching for safety from the Dreadlord that hunted them. Upon his defeat, the League discovered (on accident) the abandoned and decayed forests of Northgarde. Over the years that followed, the League set out to rebuild much of the land for its own uses, and to secure a strong foothold from which it would launch its campaigns against the Forsaken.
