World map of the area.
The elven ruins located in this zone.
Northern Lordaeron is the name by which we mean the unnamed closed zone wedged between the northwestern border of the Eastern Plaguelands, the northeastern border of the Western Plaguelands, and the southwestern border of the Ghostlands. Currently it is an inaccessible zone ingame that may be part of the fallen Kingdom of Lordaeron or of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.
As a curiosity, if the player swims around the shore from Tirisfal Glades to the edge of this zone, they will get a message stating that they have discovered Quel'Thalas and if they enter into the area, they will find some elven ruins (high elf ruins theoretically) implying that high elves live or have lived there. Even though the Ghostlands and Eversong Woods were added in The Burning Crusade, this zone is still empty ingame and who knows if some day the area will have some content.

Mixed among the lies spread by Deathwing when he took on the form of Daval Prestor there could be some truth. Described as being from the north, this could be the land that Prestor claimed to have originated from during the Second War.
This could be the land of the "northern vassals", whom Terenas's grandfather helped in their negotiations over their borders with the elves of Quel'Thalas.Template:Cite
It should be mentioned also that, although the high elves who did not become blood elves settled in many zones across Azeroth, a large number of high elves took refuge on some lands in the north of Lordaeron and adjacent to Quel'ThalasTemplate:Cite. This could be that location. In fact, Quel'Lithien Lodge is a town of high elves that resides adjacent to Northern Lordaeron in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Northeron
Early map sketch showing Quel'Thalas and Northeron.
There are some evidences to suggest that this unnamed area could actually be the mysterious Northeron mentioned in lore. Early sketches had Northeron located in a southern Quel'Thalas region and Northeron could be a term shortened from Northern Lordaeron, though one must keep in mind the term Northern Lordaeron is based on conjecture and not an official term.
Cataclysm
Due to the revamping of Azeroth to accomodate flying mounts, it's yet unknown what will be on this area, if not only mountains or the ocean itself.
