Shortly thereafter the large undead army laid siege to the town. 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. Meanwhile, Prince Arthas had tracked the shipment of grain to Hearthglen. The city was about to be attacked by an army of undead, and the defenders had just baked and eaten the grain before the attack started. The Plague of Undeath arrived there in a grain shipment from Andorhal. Hearthglen was a target of the Scourge in the beginnings of the Third War. Some years later, Tirion's son Taelan Fordring was given control of the keep. The paladin Barthilas was temporarily given command of the province, but he was wounded during an orc assault on Stratholme, and was not able to make his command effective. He was, however, excommunicated and exiled for treason, for giving aid to an orc found in his lands, Eitrigg. Р”В«efore the Third War, Hearthglen was ruled by the paladin Tirion Fordring, Lord of Mardenholde. Some time before the Third War, traveling dignitaries and representatives from the various nations of the Alliance passed through Hearthglen on their secret diplomatic errands. Р”Вuring the Second War, the keep never fell to the Orcish Horde. The road to the town is called Hearthglen Pass, and a forest near Hearthglen is called the Hearthglen Woods. Hearthglen is a sturdy fortress, its walls encircling a town hall, a mage tower, a lumber mill, a blacksmith, stables, a scout tower and a mine besides its keep. It now serves as a training ground and headquarters for the Argent Crusade. It fell under the control of the Scarlet Crusade until Tirion Fordring returned and resumed control. The town and formerly the region, was controlled from Mardenholde Keep. The town stands out from the rest of the region for its peaceful appearance, although it has not been spared from the attacks of the Scourge. Hearthglen is a fortified town and former principality in the northern area of the former kingdom of Lordaeron, located north of Andorhal, in an area now known as the Western Plaguelands.
