Plaguewood

Plaguewood

Plaguewood is an area within the Eastern Plaguelands Directly south of Stratholme and stretching all the way to Terrordale. The area is heavily occupied by vast amounts of scourge forces and contains large amounts of scourge infrastructure including Ziggurats and Slaughter houses.

This portion of the Plagued Lands is presumably named Plaguewood because of the drastic effect that blight has had on the landscape, The soil its self resembles a sponge in appearance, and the ecology of the area is drastically altered, fungus grows to amazing proportions predominantly in the form of large mushrooms or toadstools, dwarfing nearby trees, fungus also shows a propensity to belch out dark brown gas, looking in appearance similar to the gas that spews from Plague cauldrons, weather or not these fungi are a tool used by the scourge to spread clouds of noxious plague gas is not clear.

In recent times plague wood has become home to an imposing portal structure that leads the way to the necropolis Naxxramas the home and base of operations to Kel'Thuzad. Access to this portal is granted by the Argent Dawn, but only those who are exalted with the Argent Dawn may enter free of cost, others must pay a hefty fee.
