The [[city]] of '''Andorhal''' {{coords|44|69|Western Plaguelands}} ('''Andorhall'''){{cite|WoWRPG|21}} is a destroyed [[human]] city located in the [[Western Plaguelands]], formerly one of the largest cities in northern [[Lordaeron]]. Today, the [[Ruins of Andorhal|ruined city]] is firmly in the [[Scourge]]'s grip, with a population of 9,000, mainly undead.

Andorhal was once the distribution center for all agricultural supplies in the northern provinces of Lordaeron east of [[Lordamere Lake]] before the [[Third War]]. It was used by [[Kel'Thuzad]] to spread the plague, infecting the grain there, which was sent to different northern towns. Andorhal was gripped by the original outbreak of the [[Plague of Undeath]], but remained uncontrolled by Scourge agents. Kel'Thuzad was initially defeated by [[Arthas]] in Andorhal. However, Andorhal fell at the hands of Arthas when he returned here to claim the remains of Kel'Thuzad for reanimation, therefore falling under Scourge control.

Following the defeat of the [[Burning Legion]] and the consolidation of the [[Western Plaguelands]] by the Scourge, Andorhal became a regional bastion effectively separating the lands of the [[Lich King]] from those still under mortal control. Later, Andorhal became the headquarters of the lich [[Araj the Summoner]] who used the [[Ruins of Andorhal|ruined city]] as the base of operations, from which he oversaw the use of the mighty plague cauldrons situated throughout the Western Plaguelands.
