− | 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. |
