Talk:Northlands

"Northlands" in The Warning - Northrend?
"Northlands" and "southlands" appear to be entirely relative terms. If this is the case, from their position in the Capital, itself in the north of Lordaeron, the "plague that has gripped the northlands" could be a reference to Northrend, not northern Lordaeron. There are only scant references, but Road to Damnation is pretty clear evidence alone of human settlement there. And in this quote, "southlands" may even have been used to refer to Lordaeron, from the perspective of Northrend; "The Undead are ruled by Ner'zhul, the Lich King, who lords over the icy realm of Northrend from his frozen throne. Ner'zhul commands the terrible plague of undeath, which he sends ever southwards into the human lands. As the plague encroaches on the southlands, more and more humans fall prey to Ner'zhul's mental control and life-draining sickness every day." It's perhaps a stretch, but makes more sense as the plague hadn't yet 'gripped' Lordaeron - the infected have only three days until dying, and neither the Kirin Tor nor Lordaeron seem to have heard anything about the dead rising from its affects, or the loss of Andorhal, the distribution centre for plagued grain.
