Tarren Mill is a Horde controlled town that fell to the Undead Scourge of Lordaeron.
History
Before the Scourge of Lordaeron
Before Lordaeron and the surrounding areas were decimated by the Scourge, Tarren Mill was one of the main agricultural centers. Mostly housing grains and other field crops, it provided surrounding areas with the food needed to go day to day, though the food produced didn't meet the near staggering production seen from farms and mills to the north. Controlled by the Barov Family Estate, Tarren Mill was most likely their highest profit entitlement. Another note about Tarren Mill is that it was the site of a major battle between the Orcs and the Humans during the second war.
Post Scourge
After the Scourge had completely engulfed the region, Tarren Mill and most of its inhabitants were wiped out. It had been left to rot with the rest of the land but eventually the surrounding area remained untouched. Not too long after the mill had been essentially devoid of life, the Forsaken claimed the area as their own. Now a foothold in human lands for the Forsaken, Tarren Mill serves as a flight point for them and their allies.

Caer Darrow is an island located in Darrowmere Lake, in the Western Plaguelands in the Warcraft universe.
History
Ancient History
The island was the site of the Runestone at Caer Darrow, an ancient monolith sacred to the High Elves of Quel'Thalas. The artifact is said to have been erected by elven druids, a description which provides the only indication in the lore that any High Elves ever followed a druidic path. Runestones were later changed to have served as a barrier so that the Burning Legion would be unaware of the High Elves' arcane magic.
The island has also been the site of one or more Human fortifications dating back to the days of the empire of Arathor.
The Second War
During the Second War, the island was invaded by the Horde, the fortress sacked, and the sacred Runestone captured. The stone was hewn into pieces which were used to create the Altars of Storms, arcane structures which allowed Gul'dan to instill magic into the Horde's Ogre allies.
When Uther Lightbringer embarked for the isle on a mission of mercy to aid and comfort the survivors of the bloody raid, he was ambushed by privateers from Alterac. In the naval battle that followed, some of the sailors were captured; during questioning in Lordaeron's capital, they confessed their nation's treachery to the Alliance, leading to Alterac's eventual ruin.
The Barovs and Scholomance
Following the Second War, the fortress at Caer Darrow was restored; the rule of the island by the Barov family dates back to at least this time. The Barovs were extremely wealthy, owning the land which comprised Caer Darrow, Brill, Southshore, and Tarren Mill. Not content with their enormous holdings, the Barovs entered into a deal with the human mage Kel'Thuzad], leader of the Cult of the Damned. The once opulent House of Barov became the horrific Scholomance, a school of necromancy. The spirits of many of the island's inhabitants remain, seeking redress for the horrific wrongs committed there.
What happened to the town?
The people of Caer Darrow survived within their small town for several months after the fall of Lordaeron. When the Scourge invaded Andorhal however, a large host attacked Caer Darrow, aided by troops from Scholomance. It was then that the town finally came to an end.
