Upon further investigation of the area, it is discovered that the Sludge Fields was built over Hillsbrad Fields after the Forsaken War Machine was able to conquer the area. The humans that stayed to defend the town and survived the onslaught were taken as prisoners of war and were forced by the Forsaken to work the fields under horrible conditions growing mushrooms to be used in toxins. Many human workers began to disappear over time and reports of ghouls moving about the camp began to circulate.
Under Warden Stillwater, the former humans of Hillsbrad Fields were being used in experiments for the Forsaken to create a new breed of loyal zombie-like slaves. These experiments weren't limited to just the humans, but other Forsaken as well. The punishment for experimenting on other Forsaken would be true death which is why Warden Stillwater wanted to do everything in his power to destroy the evidence that the experiments were even performed at the Sludge Fields.
