    Original Name of the Plaguelands

    I could've sworn I saw a post somewhere stating the original name of what is now known as the Western & Eastern Plaguelands, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know if it was properly named or if I'm just being silly right now?

    Wowpedia - with reference to Warcraft: Chronicle
    The Eastweald is a stretch of fertile foothills located east of the Tirisfal Glades. During the Troll Wars, military leaders from Arathor constructed "crude" forts throughout the Eastweald prior to the kingdom's direct confrontation with the Amani Empire around 2,800 BDP. After the war, those forts would become populated trading centers from which many modern cities would spring.

    Given the description of the Eastweald as fertile and east of Tirisfal, it is possible the term "Eastweald" was the original name of the Plaguelands.
    Checks out.

    Not unless Blizzard chooses to revamp the 1-60 zones again.

    I think lore wise the Forsaken is controlling most of east/west plaguelands

    Forsaken control most of West plaguelands, so im going to say any place the argents don't hold won't be cured further. As for eastern, If the forsaken claim any parts those won't be healed either. It's taken the argents forever to clean that place either way.

    I always thought their original names had just the word ''plague'' removed. So we had the ''Eastern Lands'' and ''Western Lands'', kind of a bland name though.
