Hearthglen
- Population: 3,000
Hearthglen is a town in the northern area of the former kingdom of Lordaeron, located north of Andorhal, in an area now known as the Western Plaguelands. The town (and formerly the region) was controlled from Mardenholde Keep. It is now controlled by the Scarlet Crusade. (To reach Hearthglen, follow the path starting at [50, 42] in Western Plaguelands. The gates of Hearthglen are at [48, 21])
Hearthglen was left relatively untouched by the Scourge in the Third War (despite being attacked by an armada of undead fairly early in the war), now appropriated by the Scarlet Crusade who have turned it into a major base of operation. Prior to the transformation of Arthas into a death knight of Ner'zhul, the prince tracked a shipment of grain infected with the Plague of Undeath to the town of Hearthglen. He, along with soldiers of Lordaeron's army, were able to slay those infected by the shipment before they could spread the disease to the entire town. However, shortly thereafter a large force of Undead laid siege to the town, but Arthas was able to repel the invaders until Uther arrived with reinforcements. Ironically, it was the efforts of the future Lich King that saved Hearthglen and ultimately allowed it to survive to the present as a bastion of the Scarlet Crusade.
Hearthglen is the second most important bastion of the Scarlet Crusade if not the most important. That is why renowned heroes, officers and members of the Scarlet Crusade have been sent here to lead Hearthglen. The leaders of Hearthglen are:
- High Commander Galvar Pureblood
- Highlord Taelan Fordring
- High Protector Lorik
- Grand Inquisitor Isillien
- Cavalier Durgen
- Huntsman Radley
- Foreman Jerris
Previously, Hearthglen was ruled by Tirion Fordring, Lord of Mardenholde, until he was exiled for treason.
