After hunting down Mal'ganis in Northrend, Arthas returned as one of the Lich King's death knights and toppled the Kingdom of Lordaeron by murdering his own father, King Terenas. When Uther refused to obey Arthas' command to purge the city, Arthas relieved Uther of command and disbanded the Silver Hand, then slaughtered the townsfolk himself. When they arrived at Stratholme, Arthas realized that the villagers had been infected with the Plague of Undeath. While en route via Hearthglen, Arthas and Jaina were joined by Lord Uther, master of the Silver Hand. Kel'Thuzad told Arthas to seek out the leader of the Scourge in Lordaeron, the Dreadlord Mal'Ganis, at Stratholme. In the opening hours of the Third War, the investigations into the origins of the Scourge led Prince Arthas and Jaina Proudmoore through the Tirisfal Glades and what is now the Western Plaguelands (more specifically, the towns of Andorhal and Hearthglen), where they confronted the necromancer Kel'Thuzad and his Cult of the Damned. At this time, it was known as the Darrowmere Forest after the lake with the same name to the south. Also nearby were the towns of Darrowshire, Corin's Crossing, and Tyr's Hand, and to the east of Stratholme was the pass leading into the southern boundaries of Quel'Thalas. The regional government was centered around the city of Stratholme, the largest city in Lordaeron. Like the Western Plaguelands, the Eastern Plaguelands were once beautiful and brimming with farms and small villages.

Located at Light's Hope Chapel, this staging area serves as a last bastion of Light in a land blanketed in darkness. Only a small camp maintained by the Argent Dawn remains friendly to all, welcoming adventurers that would lend a strong arm or spell. The area is roamed by mutant creatures and soldiers of the Scourge, while members of the Scarlet Crusade fight a constant battle to drive the Scourge out of Stratholme from their Chapel and key base at Tyr's Hand. Amani forest trolls strike from the north, attempting to reclaim their ancestral empire. The Scarlet Crusade boasts a large army and battles fervently and vainly against the Scourge outsiders are also unwelcome. Undead, necromancers, and Damned cultists prowl the land. The ground is brown, ugly, and sick, the trees corrupted into giant mushrooms and the air polluted with orange mist. Their southern capital of Stratholme is here, under the command of the lich, Kel’Thuzad. They are located east of the Western Plaguelands and north of the Hinterlands. The Eastern Plaguelands is the more heavily devastated half of the Plaguelands, the remnants of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
