Kingdom of Lordaeron Restored

The Kingdom of Lordaeron, also known as The Kingdom Restored by The Blood of Lordaeron and The Hand of the Light is a state occupying the great majority of the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms. It is bordered in the northeast by Quel'thelas and in the south by the Arathi Highlands and Wildhammer Hinterlands.

The mightiest of the old Arathorian Empire's successor states, Lordaeron has been for centuries a shining beacon of human culture and devotion. Following the opening of the Dark Portal and lamentable destruction of Stormwind by the unwashed, ravening masses of the Orcish Horde, Lordaeron stepped to the aid of its brother-laid-low, wielding the might of the seven kingdoms joined together in the Alliance of Lordaeron.

Though the kingdom itself was fragmented by the betrayal of Arthas Menethil, and its territories consumed in the main by the faction of undead known as The Forsaken, human remnants remained intransigent within the old borders of Lordaeron, chief amongst them the province of Blackmarsh. The then-Viscountess of Blackmarsh, Madelynne Albrecht, claiming relation to the fallen king Terenas, took upon herself the burden of rule as Queen Madelynne I, beginning the unenviable yet Light-required task of reforging that which was broken, and driving the undead from the Lands of Peaceful Peoples forever.
