Eastern Plaguelands quests: Light's Hope and Darrowshire (Classic Era baseline)
The Eastern Plaguelands is a 53–60 zone, and nearly every quest here is open to both factions. Light's Hope Chapel in the east is the hub: it has the flight path and Caretaker Alen, and Carlin Redpath waits there to finish the Darrowshire story.
See Eastern Plaguelands for the map and grinding. Tirion Fordring's own chain has a separate page: Tirion Fordring.
The Darrowshire chain
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
This is the best-known story in the zone. It starts in the ruins of Darrowshire in the southwest, takes in Chromie at Andorhal in the Western Plaguelands, and ends with an event battle back in Darrowshire.

| 13 | Hidden Treasures (5942) | 60 / 50 | Open Joseph's Chest with Joseph's Key | 9,950, a choice of three items |
Tips for the chain: - The spirits for step 4 show up as you kill ghouls around Darrowshire. - Step 7 needs the right book among several decoys in Andorhal. Read the tooltips. - Steps 9 and 10 have items scattered across both Plaguelands zones, and some sit in dangerous areas. Do these with a friend. - Step 12 is an event fight that players have reported a group can handle without a raid. Plan for a full five-player party. - Steps 8, 11, 12 and 13 can't be shared.
