Quick Overview
The Agamand family's prosperous mills became a tomb when the Scourge swept through Tirisfal. Workers who remained to defend the estate died alongside their employers, and some returned as Forsaken with bitter memories of that decision. Necromancy and the family's ruined crypt transformed a familiar agricultural holding into a lasting reminder of Lordaeron's collapse.
Full History
Before the Scourge reached Tirisfal, the Agamand family owned a prosperous network of mills and cultivated land north of Brill. Their workers ground the harvest of a kingdom that had known ordinary seasons of labor and trade for generations. When the plague swept through Lordaeron, the family fortified its holdings and persuaded employees to stay and defend them. The decision was meant to preserve their home, but it also bound their retainers to a fight they could scarcely win.
Gregor Agamand led the defense with his family, including Nissa and their sons Thurman and Devlin. Thurman remained at the mills even when Yvette Farthing urged him to leave. His final letter to her never reached its intended reader. Devlin's betrayal made the household's stand more tragic still. The family's story is therefore more than an anonymous account of the plague: relationships of affection and obligation broke apart when fear, stubbornness and treachery met the Scourge.
The defenses eventually failed. The Scourge killed and raised members of the household, turning the mills from a place of employment into part of the undead invasion. Coleman Farthing, once among the Agamands' workers, remembered the choice that had kept him there. Death did not erase his bitterness; as one of the Forsaken, he blamed the family for the fate imposed upon those who had served it.
Undead commanders occupied the property and made use of the Agamand family crypt, transforming the symbols of ancestral wealth into instruments of necromancy. The mills tell the fall of Lordaeron on a scale smaller than the king's murder: a household stood its ground, its workers died with it, and its ordinary ties of loyalty became grievances that survived death.
