+This item is crafted by [[inscription|scribes]] with a skill of 475.
+{{itembox|Materials Required:
-'''Northern Lordaeron''' (also described as being '''between Plaguelands'''{{fact}}) is a zone wedged between the northwestern border of the [[Eastern Plaguelands]], the northeastern border of the [[Western Plaguelands]], and the southwestern border of the [[Ghostlands]]. It is an inaccessible zone that may be part of the fallen Kingdom of [[Lordaeron]] or [[Quel'Thalas]]. This zone is mostly empty.

-In ''World of Warcraft'', the entire region north of the Plaguelands is classified as its own [[zone]], [[Quel'Thalas]]. If the player swims around the shore from [[Tirisfal Glades]] to the edge of this zone, they will get a message stating that they have discovered Quel'Thalas. Interestingly, the swimmer will eventually reach a deserted [[high elf]] lighthouse at roughly the position directly northwest of [[Stratholme]].

-Even though the [[Ghostlands]] and [[Eversong Woods]] were added in [[The Burning Crusade]], this zone is still empty in-game. A curious [[bug]] is that, even with BC installed, you can swim along the northern coast from Tirisfal to the edge of the Eastern Plaguelands, while on the [[world map]] you are shown as moving through the middle of the Ghostlands.

-The aforementioned bug is due to how [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] set up The Burning Crusade map files. Eversong and the Ghostlands are not in Azeroth proper; they are located on the same map plane as [[Outland]] — the Ghostlands are separated from the Eastern Plaguelands by an instance portal in the formerly-blocked pass. This was done most likely to make sure that people without the BC expansion cannot access BC content. This is also why Quel'Thalas (along with the [[Azuremyst Isles]]) is a zone that has a separate loading screen from the Eastern Kingdoms (Kalimdor in the case of Azuremyst), in order to prevent those who do not have the Burning Crusade expansion from accessing the expansion zones. The same method is used for access to Outland via the [[Dark Portal]].

-==Speculation==
-{{Speculation}}
-[[Image:Northeron.JPG|thumb|right|Early map sketch showing Quel'Thalas and Northeron.]]
-Mixed among the lies spread by [[Deathwing]] when he took on the form of [[Daval Prestor]] there could be some truth. Described as being from '''the north''', this could be the land that Prestor claimed to have originated from during the [[Second War]]. While Daval Prestor does not actually exist, its possible that Deathwing had lived there at one time.
-This could be the "northern vassals", in which [[Terenas Menethil II|Terenas]]'s grandfather helped negotiate the borders betweeen them and the elves of Quel'Thalas.{{cite|DotD|82}}
-This could also be the mysterious [[Northeron]] mentioned in lore. Early sketches had Northeron located in a southern Quel'Thalas region. Perhaps Northeron was a term shortened from '''North'''ern Lorda'''eron'''.
-It should also be noted that some also believe that Northeron was renamed into the [[Hinterlands]] (as the Wildhammer clan is originally described as hailing from Northeron in the manual to Warcraft II). However, while this is possible, it would also seem that Hinterlands location was also moved from its original planned location, to a place south of the former Kingdom of Lordaeron. However, to make things more confusing, ''[[Day of the Dragon]]'' (as well as Warcraft III) added the idea that Wildhammer Clan originated from the [[Aerie Peaks]]. ''Day of the Dragon'' references to both the Aerie Peaks and Northeron, perhaps as two separate locations. The differences betweeen the [[Hinterlands]], [[Aerie Peaks]], and Northeron may never be fully clear.

-Due to the revamping of Azeroth to accomodate flying mounts, it's yet unknown what will be on this area, if not only mountains.
