World of Warcraft : Classic

Addle's Stead

Addle's Stead is located in southwestern Duskwood, south of Raven Hill and west of the Vul'Gol Ogre Mound. It is one of the many abandoned farmsteads, presumably left behind when the darkness crept into Duskwood. The farm has been completely taken over by agents of the Defias Brotherhood, who creep throughout the field, hide in the barn, and stalk in the small farmhouse.

Agmond's End

Agmond's End is an abandoned digsite in southern central Badlands, where the dwarven prospector Agmond met an unfortunate end thanks to the troggs which have infested the site. Another explorer, Theldurin the Lost, camps nearby and gives out the Uldaman quests Solution to Doom and The Lost Fragments.

Agol'watha

Agol'watha is a troll ruin in the north-central Hinterlands that was overrun by animated sludges. It was once a temple of the late Amani Empire, and later the Vilebranch trolls.

Aldrassil

Aldrassil is the giant tree and village in the center of Shadowglen and it is a haven for evolving druids. The leader of Shadowglen, Tenaron Stormgrip, makes his home inside the very top of Aldrassil. One can reach his quarters by following the long staircase that spirals up the outside of the huge trunk. The interior of the trunk, at its base, has been fitted out by night elves. Vendors and various trainers are on hand to help adventurers improve their skills: Andiss the armourer, Janna Brihgtmoon the clothier, Khardan Proudblade the weaponsmith and Keina the Bowyer are present. Dellylah and Lyrai sell food, drink and various supplies. Shadowglen sentinels, heavily armed, are posted at the entrance and inside, watch over the premises and patrol the surrounding area. There are no monsters in this area

Alexston Farmstead

Alexston Farmstead is one of the many farms in northern and central Westfall that have been taken over by the Defias Brotherhood. Now, the deadly mechanical Harvest Watchers roam the fields, and the Defias have laid claim to the farm. Baros Alexston, once a farm boy from Westfall, rose to prominence as Stormwind’s chief architect. A former Stonemason and colleague of VanCleef, he stayed loyal to Stormwind after the Guild’s fall. Pragmatic and principled, Baros shaped the city's future—stone by stone—while keeping secrets even Master Shaw respects.

Algaz Station

Algaz Station is a dwarven outpost in Loch Modan where many dwarven mountaineers are stationed. It is located just east of the North Gate Pass, and south of Dun Algaz, from which it takes its name. Mountaineer Stormpike can be found here, as well as an armorer named Gothor Brumn.

Altar of Storms of the Blasted Lands

Altar of Storms can be found on the western edge of the Blasted Lands. Located in the mountains Lady Sevine and her servants can be found here. Although once an orc, Sevine is now in fact a demon. She is one of three (along with Grol the Destroyer and Archmage Allistarj) who pledged allegiance to Razelikh, who in return granted them land, and an endless life as long as they remained in the Blasted Lands and in return now must protect him. Lady Sevine was given an Altar of Storms, one of the few remaining in Azeroth. When The Fallen Hero of the Horde and his team ventured into the Blasted Lands, they were captured. Now his comrades are forced to be servants of Grol, Allistarj and Sevine. Dreadscorn who patrols up and down the hill, starting from the bottom and working his way up to the base of the Altar of Storms can also be found here.

Altar of Storms of the Burning Steppes

An Altar of Storms can be found in the Burning Steppes, in the shadow of Blackrock Spire. Warlock members of the Blackrock clan have taken over the area and perform strange rituals at the altar. Orc warlocks in the Second War invented a method to grant intelligence and magical powers to their ogre allies. This method involved arcane edifices such as this Altar of Storms. It is located in Searing Gorge and it is one of the few remaining from the Second War. The altar is cracked and scarred, but its remaining energies draw elementals and ogre magi to the area. On a hill to the west lies the home of Gorzeeki Wildeyes, a goblin warlock and alchemist. He lives here studying the altar under his warlock master, Mor'zul Bloodbringer.

Alther's Mill

Alther's Mill is an abandoned lumber mill located northeast of Lakeshire in the Redridge Mountains region of human lands. This is a small area overrun by spiders, buzzards and the occasional stray orc. Most folks pass through on the way to Stonewatch Keep.

Amberstill Ranch

Amberstill Ranch is a location in Dun Morogh on the road to Loch Modan. It lies just off the road on the north side near Gol'Bolar Quarry. Amberstill Ranch has a Riding trainer and mount vendor, from whom dwarves (or adventurers of any other Alliance race who have obtained exalted Ironforge reputation) can buy a ram to ride. Only dwarves and people with Exalted reputation with Ironforge can learn riding skill here.

Ameth'Aran

The ruins of Ameth'Aran can be found to the southeast of Auberdine in Darkshore. Before the time of the Great Sundering, Queen Azshara brought her favored servitors, those of the Highborne, to the twin towns of Ameth'Aran and Bashal'Aran. In its prime, the twin cities were graced by the blessing of the queen and were a sight to behold, with bazaars and temples to Elune. Back then, it was a place where the servants of Queen Azshara freely practiced their powerful magics. Eventually, these two cities were destroyed when the first Well of Eternity was shattered. Now it is inhabited by the restless spirits of the Highborne that once dwelt within its walls. In Ameth'Aran's ruins lie two large ancient tablets, scrawled with the stories of the town and its fall. Sentinel Tysha Moonblade was sent to explore the ruins and came across with two large tablets, scrawled with the stories of Ameth'Aran and its fall. While she was reading the runes, she was accosted by the spirits, and fled

Angor Fortress

Angor Fortress is controlled by Dark Iron dwarves. Ragnaros' fire elemental lieutenant, Ambassador Infernus, stays in Angor and keeps tabs on the Dark Irons who work for his master. The fortress' Dark Irons are concerned with the new dwarven dig site of Uldaman. They believe ancient Titan secrets hide within Uldaman — secrets that could help their fiery lord in his personal war. The Dark Irons are Ragnaros' thralls and they probably don't know of their Titan ancestry. If they do, their long association with dark powers has denied them Titan-born abilities. Brann Bronzebeard once fought one patrol of Dark Irons and immediately caused his flesh to harden: the Dark Irons seemed surprised at this ability.

Anvilmar

Anvilmar is a dwarven smithing center in Coldridge Valley. Miners draw ore from the fertile mountains, and Anvilmar's numerous craftsmen mold it into fine works. The town is a welcome respite from the cold wilderness, and weary travelers can purchase excellent dwarven weapons and armor. Brann Bronzebeard's mithril mail comes from Anvilmar, and it has saved his life many times over. Anvilmar has a set of trainers and some quest givers, as well as a few vendors. The central structure of Anvilmar houses a large forge.

Apocryphan's Rest

Apocryphan's Rest is the name of a large draconic skeleton that lies fallen in the Badlands south of Kargath. It is populated by a flock of hungry vultures.

Ariden's Camp

Ariden's Camp is a deserted campsite found just north of the main road passing through Deadwind Pass from Duskwood to the Swamp of Sorrows. Ariden was the leader of the Dark Riders, and this was the camp he set up before being cursed, from which he attempted to sell Medivh's fake artifacts.

Whether you seek rare weapons, finely crafted armor, essential trade goods, elusive recipes, or potent reagents, this marketplace offers a wealth of possibilities for both buyers and sellers alike. Presiding over the auctions with diligence and grace are Tolon, Cazarez, Silva'las, and Golothas—respected auctioneers entrusted with the flow of trade within the heart of kaldorei civilization.

Bael'dun Keep

Bael'dun Keep is the fortress that overlooks the Bael Modan digsite in the southern Barrens, in the arid hills of the Southern Barrens. Built into a rocky cliffside, its stone walls and towers rise defiantly above the dusty plains, reflecting the dwarves' engineering prowess and military discipline. The keep serves as a strategic outpost for the dwarves of Ironforge, who conduct archaeological digs in the region, seeking ancient secrets buried beneath the earth. Guarded by stout and vigilant soldiers, the keep is a symbol of dwarven resilience in a hostile land. Despite its imposing presence, Bael'dun Keep is often met with suspicion and tension from the local Tauren population, who view the dwarves’ excavation efforts as desecration. Gann Stonespire and Feegly the Exiled give out quests to raid the stronghold, which is ruled by the cunning General Twinbraid.

Bal'lal Ruins

Bal'lal Ruins are ancient troll ruins located near the northwestern coast of Stranglethorn Vale, north of Grom'gol Base Camp and located on the coast of the Vile Reef. A number of Bloodscalp trolls reside in what's left of the ruin.

Balnir Farmstead

The Balnir Farmstead, nestled in eastern Tirisfal Glades, was once famed for breeding Lordaeron’s prized white horses—including Invincible, steed of Prince Arthas, and Reverence, mount of King Anduin Wrynn. Run by Jorum and Vara Balnir, the farm also raised chickens and grew snapdragons. Arthas often visited as a child, befriending Jorum’s son Jarim. He was present for Invincible’s birth, moments before Lord Uther arrived to escort him back to Capital City during the First War. Years later, after Invincible’s tragic death, Arthas buried him on the farmstead. When Arthas returned as a death knight during the Scourging of Lordaeron, he slew the Balnir family and raised Invincible with Frostmourne, leaving the grave empty. Now overrun by wandering Scourge, the farm remains a haunt of the past. Yet Vara’s snapdragons still bloom, harvested by the Forsaken for arcane study.

Ban'ethil Barrow Den

Ban'ethil Barrow Den is a small barrow den in Teldrassil that was once one of the sacred places built by night elves to hold sleeping Druids of the Talon. However, control over it has recently been taken over by the corrupted furbolg Gnarlpine tribe, and is now a dangerous place to venture for a lone night elf. Its two sections are referred to as Lower Den and Upper Den.

Bashal'Aran

Bashal'Aran is a night elven ruin found to the southwest of Lor'danel in northern Darkshore, formerly consisting of ancient Highborne ruins. Before the time of the Great Sundering, Queen Azshara brought her favored servitors, those of the Highborne, to the twin towns of Ameth'Aran and Bashal'Aran. In its prime, the twin cities were graced by the blessing of the queen and were a sight to behold, with bazaars and temples to Elune. Eventually, these two cities were destroyed when the first Well of Eternity was shattered. Thousands of years later, the ruins of Bashal'Aran have been overrun with demonic minions - grells and satyrs - which have taken up residence in the area. These evil creatures feed upon the magical energies left among the ruins, their powers growing from the continued exposure.

Bathran's Haunt

Bathran's Haunt is located in northwestern Ashenvale, north of the Ruins of Ordil'Aran and a ways east of the Zoram Strand. It is the site of an ancient Kaldorei ruin, long since abandoned by the night elves. However, it has recently become populated once again, by agents of the forsaken. These undead creatures skulk among the fallen pillars and broken bits of marble, and the land itself has been tainted by their presence, the grass turning a foul brown and the flowers withering away. The Forsaken agents, mostly made up of herbalists and their thugs, appear to be using the various local herbs, and their makeshift laboratory for malicious purposes. The haunt frequently sees action as questing adventurers enter the haunt in search of Bathran's Hair - a valuable remedial herb that only grows in this particular spot.

Beezil's Wreck

Beezil's Wreck is a goblin zeppelin that has crashed in the deepest parts of Dustwallow Marsh, east of Tabetha's Farm. The zeppelin was carrying a shipment of supplies south, and is frequently sought out by adventurers looking for Seaforium Boosters. It is a volatile engineering charge designed to breach locked doors, chests, or barriers. Packed with unstable goblin explosives, it's the rogue’s rival and the saboteur’s best friend.

Beggar's Haunt

Beggar's Haunt is an abandoned scout tower of the Stormwind Guard located in northeastern Duskwood, east of Manor Mistmantle and north of the road that leads into Deadwind Pass. It is used by the Forsaken to conduct experiments. It holds two agents of the Forsaken - Deathstalker Zraedus and a member of the Royal Apothecary Society named Apothecary Faustin.

Beren's Peril

Beren's Peril is located in Silverpine Forest due south of Ambermill, between the main road and the side-road coming from Ambermill in the hills. Before the coming of the plague, this cave was home to creatures of the forest, and was sometimes used as a retreat for the wizards of Dalaran. When the Scourge invaded Lordaeron, however, the cave's creatures were butchered and consumed by ravenous ghouls and skeletal warriors. It has remained in the dark grip of the undead ever since, and poses a threat to the nearby Kirin Tor camps as well as to travelers using the road below.

Blackchar Cave

Blackchar Cave is a mysterious, sealed-off cave near Blackrock Mountain.

Blackfathom Deeps

Blackfathom Deeps is a former, partially underwater temple to the moon goddess Elune that was once known as Lathar'Lazal. It was thought to have been destroyed during the Sundering, and lost beneath the ocean. Millennia later, members of the Twilight's Hammer cult were drawn by whispers and foul dreams to what is now a series of watery caverns located beneath Ashenvale, near the ancient night elven city of Zoram. After sacrificing untold numbers of innocents, the cult was rewarded with a new task: to protect one of the Old Gods' most cherished creatures, a pet that was in need of nurturing before it could unleash his dark powers on the world, the monstrous hydra Aku'mai the Devourer. The cult known as the Twilight's Hammer came to bask in Aku'mai's evil presence. Empowered by the ancient rites of the chaotic Old Gods, the cultists, led by Twilight Lord Kelris, strove to bring about the return of their dark patrons and spread death and terror across the world.

Blackrock Mountain, Burning Steppes entrance

Blackrock Mountain, a towering volcano between the Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes, is a scar upon the land born from ancient conflict. It rose when the Dark Iron dwarves, led by Emperor Thaurissan, inadvertently summoned Ragnaros the Firelord, unleashing a cataclysm that shattered the Redridge Mountains. Within its depths, rival forces have long vied for dominance—Ragnaros and his fiery minions below, Nefarian and his black dragonflight above. Once a dwarven stronghold, the mountain became a battleground for orcs, dragons, and elemental forces. Blackrock Spire served as the Horde’s stronghold during the Second War and later became home to the Dark Horde. Today, the mountain remains a crucible of elemental fury, dragonic schemes, and ancient grudges—one of the most dangerous places in Azeroth.

Blackrock Stronghold

Blackrock Stronghold is a massive stronghold controlled by the Blackrock clan of orcs. It is located in the northern region of the Burning Steppes, just outside Blackrock Spire. Members and allies of the Blackrock clan gather outside in the Fields of Honor, being kept in line by Blackrock Sergeants. The stronghold's operations are overseen by General Thorg'izog, who disciplines and gives orders to the troops in the surrounding area. He is an orc general who is one of the three leaders who control the Blackrock clan in the Burning Steppes. He runs the training camp Fields of Honor located just outside the Burning Steppes ramp to Blackrock Mountain.

Blacrock Mountain, Searing Gorge entrance

Blackrock Mountain, a towering volcano between the Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes, is a scar upon the land born from ancient conflict.

Within its depths, rival forces have long vied for dominance—Ragnaros and his fiery minions below, Nefarian and his black dragonflight above. Once a dwarven stronghold, the mountain became a battleground for orcs, dragons, and elemental forces. Blackrock Spire served as the Horde’s stronghold during the Second War and later became home to the Dark Horde. Today, the mountain remains a crucible of elemental fury, dragonic schemes, and ancient grudges—one of the most dangerous places in Azeroth.

Bloodfen Burrow

Bloodfen Burrow is a cave in western Dustwallow Marsh where a highly concentrated number of Bloodfen raptors have come to nest. Upon close inspection, the remnants of some sort of settlement can be seen just outside the cave, torn apart by the ravenous dinosaurs. One part of Cortello's Riddle can be found here. Cortello's Riddle is a mysterious quest chain hidden across the Eastern Kingdoms. It begins with a cryptic note found in a dusty old chest, hinting at long-lost pirate treasure. Each riddle leads deeper into forgotten places—from jungle ruins to coastal caves. Only the clever and bold can follow Cortello’s trail and uncover the secrets buried with his final legacy.

Bloodtooth Camp

Bloodtooth Camp is located in Ashenvale just west of the Falfarren River and southwest of the southern Moonwell. As its name implies, it is the camp of a tribe of furbolgs led by Ran Bloodtooth. These furbolgs have all been corrupted, and are hostile to any outsiders.

Boulder Lode Mine

Boulder Lode Mine is a small, hostile mining site located in the northern part of The Barrens, nestled into the rugged hills near the border with Durotar. The mine is overrun by hostile Venture Company mercenaries—greedy, aggressive goblins and their brutish peon laborers who have established an illicit mining operation there. The area around the mine is littered with makeshift machinery, wooden scaffolding, and crates of stolen ore. Inside, narrow tunnels and poorly supported shafts wind through the rock. Its presence poses a serious threat to the region’s natural resources and to the safety of nearby Horde settlements. Local quest-givers in The Crossroads often send adventurers to Boulder Lode Mine to disrupt the Venture Co.'s operations, cull their numbers, and recover stolen materials.

Boulderfist Outpost

Boulderfist Outpost is an ogre mound found inside of Boulder'gor in western Arathi Highlands. The majority of the ogres in this area are found inside the outpost, while only a few forest trolls are found within.

Boulderslide Cavern

Boulderslide Cavern is a cave found at the end of Boulderslide Ravine where the Boulderslide kobolds nest. They are frantically mining a rare glowing purple crystal called Resonite, which they guard with their lives. The crystals have a trace of earthen magic. Deep within the mine, the kobolds uncovered a Resonite Cask, which housed a slumbering earthen by the name of Goggeroc whom they now worship

Brackenwall Village

Brackenwall Village is a small Horde-affiliated outpost in northwest Dustwallow Marsh. It is run and populated mainly by ogres. Besides a few huts, the village also counts an ogre mound. After the black dragonflight destroyed Stonemaul Village in the southern part of the Marsh, Mok'Morokk' Rexxar's successor, led them north to establish Brackenwall as their new home. The Stonemaul ogres have remained allied with the Horde since the Third War when the half-ogre Rexxar defeated their leader in combat and took command of the tribe. Daelin Proudmoore's loyalists harass Brackenwall, but Jaina keeps her own troops reined in.

Brackwell Pumpkin Patch

Brackwell Pumpkin Patch, located in the southeastern region of Elwynn Forest, has fallen under the control of the notorious Defias Brotherhood. Their agents now patrol the two buildings that once housed peaceful harvests. Within the patch itself roams Princess, a boar, along with her loyal companion another boar. Princess is a prize-winning menace, notorious for ravaging crops at both Stonefield Farm and Maclure Vineyards. The smaller of the two houses on the site shelters three figures: Morgan the Collector, Erlan Drudgemoor, a brooding and reclusive figure; and Surena Caledon, who was once an apprentice of Gakin the Darkbinder, who gifted her a bloodstone choker. She betrayed Gakin by joining Erlan Drudgemoor and the Defias Brotherhood. Morgan is a member of the Defias Brotherhood and in charge of Defias operations in Elwynn Forest. He has a ring that provides clues about the connection between the Defias Brotherhood and the old Stonemasons Guild in Stormwind.

Brewnall Village

This small settlement on Iceflow Lake boasts the finest beers and ales in Khaz Modan. Brewnall's citizens are all brewers or connoisseurs and will take up axe and sword to defend their drinks from roving monsters. Raging Trollmasher is one of their strongest ales. Brann Bronzebeard looks forward to the time when pandaren first set foot in Brewnall. It has a population of 600. Brewnall Village is a tiny dwarven village established in Chill Breeze Valley, near Gnomeregan. It serves as a home for the Barleybrews, who constantly work to experiment and improve on the venerable dwarven beer brewing tradition. The Barleybrews send young dwarves out on missions to protect the village and seek out secret ingredients for the ultimate ale.

Bronzebeard encampment

Dwarven encampment located in the southern Silithus, east of the Scarab Wall to supply the assault on Ahn'Qiraj temple. At the camp is Frankal Stonebridge, a dwarf in need of help to an elixir that will allow us to more readily decipher the glyphs and language of the silithid and Qiraji. There is also Rutgar Glyphshaper who is looking for rubbings of crystals found in the hives in Silithus and the glyphs on them.

Browman Mill

Browman Mill is a haunted lumber mill just north of Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands. Currently, the mill is crawling with skeletons, banshees and Abominations. The owner was Stephen Browman, who was killed and raised as a ghoul in service to the Scourge. He currently stands guard inside his former mill.

Camp Aparaje

Camp Aparaje was a tauren village in eastern Stonetalon Mountains that was attacked by Grimtotem forces from Grimtotem Post led by Grundig Darkcloud. The Grimtotem tribe is a tribe of dissident taurens who do not share Cairne Bloodhoof's ideals of uniting the clans and instead focus on seeking retribution for the wrongs imposed on them in recent history. Makaba Flathoof, a tauren found at Camp Una'fe in the Northern Barrens, after having escaped the assault on Honor's Stand used to live there with his daughter Kaya.

Camp Boff

Camp Boff is, together with Camp Cagg, Kosh and Wurg, the home of some of the Dustbelcher ogres. It is the southeastern camp, only guarded by three Dustbelcher ogres. One exception though is their leader who patrols the Badlands between the four ogre bases. It is believed that a small party of dwarves also are primarily targeting the Dustbelchers.

Camp Cagg

Camp Cagg is together with Camp Boff, Camp Kosh and Camp Wurg, the home of some of the Dustbelcher ogres. The Dustbelchers are primitive ogres who stay at their camps. One exception though is their leader who patrols the Badlands between the four ogre bases. It is believed that a small party of dwarves also are primarily targeting the Dustbelcher ogres.

Camp E'thok

Camp E'thok is a Galak centaur camp in northwestern Thousand Needles. The centaurs here raid a caravan that the goblin Wizlo Bearingshiner is in, but can not steal his most prized gadget, as it's tied around the neck of a ferocious panther he owns.

Camp Kosh

Camp Kosh is, together with Camp Boff, Cagg and Wurg, the home of some of the Dustbelcher ogres. It is the northernmost camp.

It is believed that a small party of dwarves also are primarily targeting the Dustbelchers.

Camp Narache

Camp Narache is a tauren town which is located in southern Mulgore at the northern edge of the Red Cloud Mesa. Camp Narache is the main village of the Hawkwind Tribe, and its Chief gives the first quest for tauren. It has five buildings: the main tent (where several wounded braves rest), a spirit lounge, a bakery tent, an armory tent and a simple trader's tent. The class trainers are gathered in a circle around the center of the village, paying respect to the fallen matriarch Greatmother Hawkwind.

Camp Taurajo

Camp Taurajo is a tauren outpost situated in the Barrens near the mountain pass leading to Mulgore, nestled between the Crossroads to the north and Mulgore to the west. It serves primarily as a tauren settlement, acting as a rest point and supply stop for travelers and adventurers journeying through central Kalimdor. Surrounded by rugged plains and roaming wildlife, the camp is constructed with traditional tauren architecture—leather tents, wooden totems, and fire pits that reflect their deep connection to nature and their ancestral traditions. The camp is modest in size but it offers basic amenities such as a flight master, vendors, and quest-givers, many of whom are tauren warriors or hunters. The atmosphere is calm and spiritual, standing in contrast to the more militarized outposts elsewhere in the region. Camp Taurajo is a symbol of tauren resilience and harmony with the land, quietly standing guard over the savannah of the Barrens.

Camp Wurg

Camp Wurg is, together with Camp Cagg, Boff and Kosh, the homes of some of the Dustbelcher ogres. One exception though is their leader who patrols the Badlands between the four ogre bases. It is believed that a small party of dwarves also are primarily targeting the Dustbelchers

Cathedral of Light

In the heart of Stormwind, the Cathedral of Light stands tall—a sacred bastion of the Holy Light. Raised under the guidance of Archbishop Benedictus and his mentor, Alonsus Faol, its hallowed halls now host some of the greatest champions of faith. Within, Archbishop Benedictus leads a cadre of priests and paladins. Duthorian Rall, the city's most revered paladin, and High Priestess Laurena, master of priestly arts, offer guidance to all who seek it. Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker trains paladins of great valor, while Brother Crowley, a shadowed figure, whispers of the Scarlet Crusade, seeking fresh recruits. Adventurers, nobles, and lovers alike are drawn to the Cathedral—not only for its wisdom but for ceremonies of union, echoing with solemn beauty. But beware... beneath the altar, hidden passageways lead to the catacombs—a library of secrets and a resting place for those long departed.

Caverns of Time

In the south, amid a mountain cluster, lies this mysterious place. Bronze dragons dwell here for reasons unknown. The Caverns of Time are home to Nozdormu and the bronze dragonflight. It is their sacred mission, one which was charged to them by the titans, to guard the caverns against the intrusion of mortals, whose interference would assuredly disrupt the flow of time. Rumors say that Nozdormu, the bronze dragon Aspect and Lord of time, makes his home here. Relics of past ages live half-buried in the sands near the entrance to this vast cave system. The bronze drakes of the mighty dragon Nozdormu patrol the borders, making sure that no mortals enter the sacred grounds at the cavern's entrance. Those who somehow slip past the drake guardians and enter the caverns have never returned quite the same — tales describe how some appear as old men, while others are reduced to infancy by the cavern's strange energies.

Chillwind Camp

Chillwind Camp is an Alliance outpost in the southern part of the Western Plaguelands, near the border with the Alterac Mountains. After the Third War, it served as a base for the Argent Dawn, led by Lord Maxwell Tyrosus. When Darion Mograine joined the cause, he came to the camp seeking volunteers to infiltrate Naxxramas and free his father's soul. Years later, the camp remained active, held by a small Argent Dawn force. It served as a final safe haven for Alliance adventurers entering the plagued lands. With limited troops, the Argent Dawn launched initial offensives against the Scourge, relying on mercenaries and guerrilla tactics to target Andorhal and the sinister Plague Cauldrons. Young and promising Knights of the Silver Hand were dispatched by Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker to aid Commander Ashlam Valorfist in the ongoing fight against the relentless undead forces infesting the region.

Cold Hearth Manor

Cold Hearth Manor is a farmstead in central Tirisfal Glades, formerly known for its warm atmosphere and bountiful crops. After the Plague of Undeath claimed the lives of everyone who lived or worked here, the fields have grown barren and become infested with mindless Scourge zombies. The Forsaken managed to claim the farmhouse for themselves. They now offer trade opportunities to travelers passing on the main road nearby.

Coldridge Pass

Coldridge Pass links Coldridge Valley to the rest of Dun Morogh, and is crucial to give the trickle of dwarven recruits to the frontier town of Kharanos. Unfortunately, the pass has become infested with troggs, and the only chance for travelers to get through is either to run at top speed or slash their way through the hostile invaders.

Crown Guard Tower

Crown Guard Tower is a scout tower located in the Eastern Plaguelands. During the Scourge invasion of Lordaeron, Crown Guard Tower was destroyed and left in ruins. It has become a battleground as it is one of the fallen towers that the Alliance and Horde fight over for in order to fortify themselves in Lordaeron.

Crusader Outpost

Crusader Outpost is a scout tower located in eastern Tirisfal Glades. It is under the control of the Scarlet Crusade, who use it to keep an eye on the main road through the glades south of the hills the tower has been built on, and also to provide for flanking opportunities against enemies who try to assault the Scarlet Monastery. This particular tower is commanded by Captain Vachon. There's evidence of an attack here from Lilian Voss.

Crusader's Outpost

This Crusader's Outpost is a scout tower located within the Scarlet Palisade of western Tirisfal Glades. It is under the control of the Scarlet Crusade, who have allied with the farmers of Solliden Farmstead in order to fight back the Scourge and Forsaken who have settlements nearby. This tower is the westernmost holding of the Scarlet Crusade in all of Lordaeron, which also means they are so far from their main base of Tyr's Hand that should any trouble befall them, they will not have enough time to wait for reinforcements. It is one of the four Crusader's Outpost towers in Tirisfal Glades. It's here the Scarlet Crusade brought Lilian Voss as a prisoner, awaiting word back from her father for her fate.

Crushridge Hold

Crystalvein Map

Crystalvein Mine is located near Zul'Mamwe, and the native basilisks eat the strange crystals which can be found within this mine. This gives the reptiles their hardened skin. According to Crank Fizzlebub, these Singing Crystals were unique to Stranglethorn and quite valuable. The Venture Co. have moved into the area hoping to harvest the mine, but the basilisk infestation has made this impossible thus far. Outside crystallized trolls and humans can be found.

Dabyrie's Farmstead

Dabyrie's Farmstead is a farm located in the northern reaches of the Arathi Highlands. It is the home of the Dabyrie family—Kenata Dabyrie and her children Fardel and Marcel—citizens of the kingdom of Stromgarde and members of the Alliance. The farmstead is protected by the Dabyrie Militia. The Forsaken Genavie Callow in Undercity has a grudge against the Dabyries because they managed to survive and prosper after Third War, while Genavie lost her family to the plague, and her estate was looted and burned. In addition, the Dabyries stole the only precious belongings she had left after being raised to undeath. She wanted them dead and so she is looking for horde avdenturers to kill them.

Dalson's Tears

Dalson’s Tears, once a peaceful orchard nestled in the heart of the Western Plaguelands, now lies in grim ruin. Claimed by the Scourge and corrupted beyond recognition, the farm is a cursed shadow of its former self. A massive, fetid cauldron belches noxious fumes into the air, poisoning the land and all who breathe its stench. Cauldron Lord Malvinious, along with his grotesque entourage—Blighted Zombies, Rotting Cadavers, and towering Skeletal Terrors—stand watch over this vile site. The souls who once lived here now know no rest. Mrs. Dalson, reduced to a Wandering Skeleton, roams aimlessly until her diary is found—revealing a key to the outhouse where her husband, now the monstrous ghoul known as Farmer Dalson, is locked away. Slaying him grants access to a hidden cabinet in the farmhouse, long forgotten and holding a reward for those brave or foolish enough to face the darkness that festers in Dalson's Tears.

Darkmist Cavern

Darkmist Cavern is the name for a small mine in northwest Dustwallow Marsh that has become completely overrun with the terrifyingly large Darkmist Spiders. The inhabitants of Dustwallow can't seem to agree on whether the spiders were named after the cavern or if it's the other way around. There are ruins of small houses outside the mine, suggesting there might have previously been a small settlement there.

Darkshire Town Hall

The Darkshire Town Hall is the seat of rule for Darkshire's mayor. Before their treason to join the Veiled Hand, the town hall housed Lord Ello Ebonlocke, the former mayor, and the members of the Darkshire Council as well as historians and clerks.

Deadwood Village

Deadwood Village is a furbolg village of the Deadwood tribe in southern Felwood. Like most of their kin, the Deadwood furbolgs have been corrupted and are hostile. Deadwood Village is the home of the corrupted furbolgs of the Deadwood clan. This camp consists of little more than a mass of crude tents and basic wooden structures. Regardless, it is one of the two largest encampments of corrupted furbolgs, and the ones here are more dangerous than usual.

Deepwater Tavern

The Deepwater Tavern is situated in the Alliance town of Menethil Harbor in the territory of the Wetlands. It is a bustling village hub and a popular place for adventurers to find quests.

Dire Maul

Dire Maul was once a proud Highborne city called Eldre'Thalas (or Eldre'thalas), but now lies in ruins, overrun by ogres, satyrs, and undead. Eldre'Thalas was one of the capitals of Queen Azshara's Highborne servitors. Built twelve thousand years ago by a covert sect of night elf sorcerers, the ancient city of Eldre'Thalas was used to protect Queen Azshara's most prized arcane secrets. Within its walls, the elves lived in peace. Among them was a group of powerful arcanists known as the Shen'dralar. One of these powerful highborne was Millicent Serene whose crowning achievement was the Fruit of Fertility, a magical vine imbued with an aura of protection and growth. All of Eldre'Thalas flourished from its existence. Only a tiny remnant of the original Highborne population remains in the form of a murderous sect called the Shen'dralar. The ruins stand strong because of an ancient crafting technique that bound arcane energy within the stone.

Dolanaar Inn

Dolanaar Inn, run by male night elf inkeeper Keldamyr

Dreadmaul Hold

Originally the Horde town of Rockard in the northwest corner of the Blasted Lands, Dreadmaul Hold became the main encampment of the powerful Dreadmaul Ogres after they took over the town. Venturing into the Hold is extremely dangerous and adventures are cautioned not to go in alone.

Dreadmaul Post

Dreadmaul Post is an ogre mound of the Dreadmaul ogre Clan in the Blasted Lands. Dreadmaul Ogres remained close to the Dark Portal after coming to Azeroth from Draenor. They continue to maintain a strong presence in the area. An occasional lost draenei can also be found wandering the nearby territory.

Dream Bough

Dream Bough stands as a mighty Great Tree upon a secluded isle at the heart of Jademir Lake, nestled in the verdant wilds of northern Feralas. Like its kin, it is a sapling born of Nordrassil, the World Tree, and serves as a living conduit to the Emerald Dream. These sacred trees are vigilantly guarded by the green dragonflight, sworn protectors of the Dream, and are vessels of profound natural power. The Dream Bough itself is one such portal—a threshold between the waking world and the Dreaming realm. It was planted by the followers of Fandral Staghelm, who took a branch from Nordrassil to counteract the dark corruption of saronite that had begun to seep from the earth. This act of defiance sought to cleanse and stabilize the land, though not without consequence.

Dun Algaz, Loch Modan entrance

Dun Algaz is a mountain pass linking Loch Modan to the Wetlands. Once a strong Dwarven fortress and strategic barrier, it played a key role in the Second War as the Horde’s final stronghold after their retreat from Dun Modr. Though Lord Anduin Lothar attempted to destroy the encampment, Horde forces persisted. Historically, it ensured safe passage between the dwarven lands and Menethil Harbor, protected by Algaz Gate. However, the area has since fallen into ruin. Recently, the Dragonmaw Clan overran the post, forcing Dwarven Mountaineers to retreat. Today, Dun Algaz is a perilous route, where only the strong or swift dare to travel.

Dun Mandarr

Dun Mandarr is a small base nearby an icy cavern in south-eastern Winterspring. The camp is overrun by ferocious moonkin and was set up by Jaron Stoneshaper, its dwarven origin obvious from the linguistic qualities of the cave's name. Jaron had discovered a Blue-Feathered Amulet, which enraged the wildkin and caused them to chase Jaron off and destroy his camp.

Dunemaul Compound

Dunemaul Compound is the stronghold of the Dunemaul ogres of Tanaris. It is a collection of huts set up around one of the few water holes in southern Tanaris. This place is home to the bronze-skinned Dunemaul ogres. Their leader, Gor'marok the Ravager, resides here in his cave. Unlike most ogres, the Dunemauls keep to themselves, probably because traveling across the desert requires more water than they can spare. They don't like visitors, however.

Durnholde Keep

Durnholde Keep is a ruined fortress in the Hillsbrad Foothills, east of Tarren Mill. After the Second War, it served as the main base for the orc internment camps. The young orc Thrall, who would later become Warchief, was imprisoned there by Lieutenant General Aedelas Blackmoore—a cruel and ambitious man who raised Thrall as a slave to gain political power. Thrall was trained, abused, and forced to fight, but formed a secret friendship with Taretha Foxton, a human girl who helped him escape. After fleeing Durnholde, Thrall freed his people, dismantled the internment system, and returned to destroy the keep. He defeated Blackmoore in combat and called upon the Earth Spirit to level the stronghold. Now, only ruins remain, and the Syndicate has taken control of the site, along with other ruins across Hillsbrad, Arathi, and the Alterac Mountains.

Dustbelch Grotto

Dustbelch Grotto is a large ogre camp in the southwestern Badlands. The Duskbelcher ogres are largely unconcerned with the other races in the area.

Echo Ridge Mine

Echo Ridge Mine lies nestled in the northwestern reaches of Northshire Valley, deep within the heart of Elwynn Forest. Recently, the mine has fallen into the hands of kobolds, much to the dismay of the local human inhabitants. Navigating the mine is relatively straightforward, as the kobolds are defensive by nature and will not attack unless provoked. A winding path leads to the rear of the mine, opening into a spacious chamber. Adventurers may occasionally discover a chest here, often containing a few copper coins to aid their finances, and perhaps even a new weapon to bolster their arsenal.

Emberstrife's Den

Emberstrife's Den is a sizable cave in the Wyrmbog region of southern Dustwallow Marsh. It is the home of the Black drake Emberstrife, who puts young black dragonlings through vigorous tests in order to become esteemed enough to enter Onyxia's Lair.

Entrance to Timbermaw Hold (Azshara)

This ancient furbolg fortress is located near Felwood's eastern border. It is a vast and rambling place, rumored to run deep into the slopes of Mount Hyjal. No one knows for sure how big it is, since the furbolgs abandoned it in ages past. Undead and satyrs may now wander the shadowed corridors... along with whatever cursed furbolgs still roam the depths. Wise travelers would bypass the site entirely if it were not the only passage through to Winterspring and Hyjal Summit. Timbermaw Hold is impressive, almost exclusively underground in a system of tunnels, it also contains simple wooden homes inside. Well-sculpted paths lead from Felwood to Moonglade and Winterspring; it contains tunnels to Azshara and Mount Hyjal as well, but those aren't available to everyone. The furbolgs here work with the druids of Moonglade frequently, and are some of the staunchest allies of the night elves and the Alliance.

Ethel Rethor

Ethel Rethor is a night elven ruin in the far northwest of Desolace. Most of the ruins are located under-water with the exception of a lone tower with a small bridge leading to a closed entrance. These night elf ruins in northern Sar'theris Strand have been overtaken by the naga, who dwell in the ruins both above and below the water. A human mage named Azore Aldamorthas manages to keep the naga away from a massive, sealed tower that was probably created by the Highborne. While he is interested in the tower, he is more concerned with a missing artifact - The Scepter of Light. According to Azore, legends say that the scepter is powerful enough to sink entire cities. He believes the warlocks at Thunder Axe fortress have it. An Argent Dawn representative Azore Aldamorthas can be found here.

Falfarren River's Bridge

The only bridge spanning the Falfarren river is a wooden bridge of Night Elf architecture.

Faol's Rest

Faol's Rest lies in eastern Tirisfal Glades, just southwest of the Scarlet Monastery. Once a solemn graveyard for fallen adventurers and monks, it now stands in shadow, largely abandoned. This hallowed ground was the original resting place of Archbishop Alonsus Faol, a revered spiritual leader who passed away before the rise of the Scourge. With the fall of Lordaeron, Faol was raised into undeath and ultimately joined the Forsaken. In time, he emerged as a key figure within the Conclave—a group devoted to unity among priests of all faiths. Before the Plague of Undeath, Faol’s tomb was a place of pilgrimage. Mourners would travel far to honor his memory. Now, nature reclaims the site, and only echoes remain. Yet during the third Burning Legion invasion, members of the Conclave returned here, seeking counsel at the resting place of their founder.

Far Watch Post

Far Watch Post is a small Horde outpost located just west of the bridge between Durotar and the Northern Barrens. It contains a watch tower, an orc burrow and a few catapults with its assortment of guards and helpers. A riding wolf pen watched over by a pair of peons is located directly south but it contains more chickens than wolves. Although not an accommodating spot, the outpost is vital for the protection of supply caravans, as well as keeping Durotar safe from from the Alliance as well as the centaur and quilboar threat of the Barrens.

Featherbeard's Hovel

A house next to Aerie Peak. It was Featherbeard's home who was an honored Wildhammer dwarf and a gryphon breeder and trainer. When Ambassador Rualeth was seeking audience with Falstad Wildhammer in Aerie Peak, he sent one of his messenger to his hovel to ask him to come and speak with him in order to try and sway Falstad and be granted an audience faster. When the messenger arrived, he found the residence to be empty, trying to find clues to see what became of Featherbeard, he found his journal and read it. Reading the most recent pages he found out about the dwarf's concern about the increasing number of Witherbark troll raids on the Wildhammer gryphon aeries and a rash of egg thefts. He also wrote that he believed that a witch doctor named Mai'jin was behind the raids. On his final note, the messenger read that the dwarf travailed to Shadra'Alor to find the missing eggs.

Feathermoon Stronghold

Overseen by General Shandris Feathermoon who for the past ten thousand years has been Tyrande Whisperwind's right hand in the Sentinels, this stronghold is the only Alliance-held region in Feralas. The night elf outpost mainly occupies itself with searching for artifacts among the Highborne ruins and investigating the presence of the naga to the south. The stronghold is located off the west coast of Feralas, on Sardor Isle. Its population is 240. Feathermoon is most easily accessible by a boat taken from Feralas in the Forgotten Coast to an island dock. It has a hippogryph point and can be reached from Auberdine, Nijel's Point and Thalanaar.

Fel Rock

Fel Rock is a now corrupted cave in Teldrassil. This once beautiful cave located just north of Dolanaar is home to the vicious satyr Lord Melenas who managed to amass a small army of grells led by Threggil, to protect him in his chosen lair. The night elf druid Tallonkai Swiftroot in Dolanaar is looking help from alliance adventurers to venture into this foreboding cave and destroy Lord Melenas.

Felpaw Village

Felpaw Village is a corrupted furbolg settlement that lies in the very north of Felwood, near the entrance of Timbermaw Hold. The village belongs to the Deadwood, a tribe of furbolgs that have been corrupted. Chieftain Bloodpaw, the Felpaw clan's leader, is located here and is protected by many of his shaman and guards. This village is the second largest corrupted furbolg camp in the region, and one of the largest anywhere. Satyrs also lurk close by

Felstone Field

Felstone Field is located in northwestern Western Plaguelands. Originally the area was a life-sustaining farm, but it has since been overrun by the vile Scourge. In their quest to destroy the living, they have placed a large cauldron in the middle of the field which constantly spews disease-filled vapors into the air. The cauldron itself is protected by Cauldron Lord Bilemaw, Skeletal Sorcerers, Skeletal Flayers and Slavering Ghouls. A Scarlet Crusader party has also been detected in Felstone and will destroy both players and Scourge with equal vengeance. Inside the house in the north eastern corner of the field is the friendly Janice Felstone, a human ghost. She occasionally screams out for help. She was the sister of Jeremiah Felstone, who is now also undead and has changed his name to Jeremiah Payson. Janice was married to a "John" before they became undead. She seeks help from adventurers to bring her John's part of the charm.

Fenris Keep

The gloomy Fenris Keep lays at the center of Lordamere Lake in Silverpine Forest upon the Fenris Isle. The keep had strategic significance, and was home to a sizable portion of Lordaeron's military. When the undead Scourge washed over Lordaeron, Fenris Keep was not spared. Thule Ravenclaw, an ambitious young mage formerly of the Kirin Tor, allied with the Scourge, and dominated over the local gnolls, creating the Rot Hide. He made himself master of the keep. Thule Ravenclaw commands a large force of Rot Hides to do his bidding, which hungrily attacks anyone who nears the keep and their master. As such, they are often targeted by the Horde adventurers.

Feral Scar Vale

Feral Scar Vale is an area belonging to the Feral Scar yeti in the High Wilderness of western Feralas.

Fire Plum Ridge

Fire Plume Ridge stands as the volcanic heart of Un'Goro Crater, its sides awash with flowing lava and teeming with fire elementals. At its peak, within a hidden cave, dwells Blazerunner, the mightiest of all fire elementals in Un'Goro. This fiery mountain forms a natural boundary where the jungle meets scorched earth, its lava flows carving a stark divide. Beneath the crater's bowl, shallow veins of magma heat the steam pools and geysers that dot Un'Goro. In the crater's center, rising from the foliage like a dark scar, is a cluster of volcanoes known as Fire Plume Ridge. Here, the jungle gives way to a landscape ravaged by relentless lava flows and fiery vents. Rogue fire elementals wander the area, and the oppressive heat is ever-present. The lava likely touches underground streams to the west, creating steamy, bubbling pools riddled with scalding geysers.

Fire Scar Shrine

Fire Scar Shrine is located in southwestern Ashenvale, southwest of Astranaar, south of the Shrine of Aessina, and west of the Ruins of Stardust. It has been corrupted by the demonic influence of the Shadow Council, and is now a place of great evil.

Their leader is the powerful drake Axtroz.

Flame Crest

Flame Crest is a Horde outpost in the Burning Steppes. It is located on a small outcropping of rock, only accessible by crossing a crude bridge. However, Flame Crest is a neutral zone, as quests were offered for both alliance and horde adenturers and vendors agree to deal with everyone. There is no guards. protecting the outpost. At Flame Crest you will find a small cave with two goblins, Kibler and Yuka Screwspigot, and a bird called Opus. Right before the cave there is a tent with two goblins, Tinkee Steamboil and Maxwort Uberglint, a dwarf called Ragged John, and Mathredis Firestar who is a blood elf. Besides the tent and cave, the flight master, Vahgruk, and the vendor for food & drink, Gruna, stand there. There is no mailbox at Flame Crest, but if you need repairs the goblin engineer Yuka Screwspigot will repair your armor.

Foothold Citadel

Also known as the Guard Quarters, it is the city's military center. People train at the Training Grounds at its doors: the guards against practice dummies and the young recruits against each other. There are always priests watching carefully, ready to call upon the Light for healing the instant anyone was injured. The Horde hero Rexxar and his companions battled their way to Foothold Citadel, at the city's center, and slew Daelin Proudmoore on the steps of his city. The squat keep houses the chambers of the Alliance Assembly. It also serves as a room for trials.

Forest Song

Forest Song lies in the northeastern reaches of Ashenvale, nestled just northeast of Satyrnaar, north of the Warsong Lumber Camp, and southwest of Bough Shadow. This ancient Kaldorei ruin, nearly abandoned, is eerily silent, with the usual forest sounds conspicuously absent. The sole inhabitant, Kayneth Stillwind, a night elf, seeks aid from Alliance adventurers. He needs brave souls to infiltrate the forsaken camp near Dor'Danil Barrow Den, where the undead concoct vile poisons and diseases. The mission: to retrieve a sample of this malevolent brew, return it so he can uncover its purpose. Despite the picturesque surroundings and apparent lack of immediate danger, a palpable sense of foreboding pervades the ruins. The air is heavy with darkness and menace, casting a shadow over the once vibrant forest.

Frostsaber Rock

Frostsaber Rock rises in northern Winterspring, a jagged peak sacred to the night elves. At its summit stands Rivern Frostwind of the Wintersaber Trainers, offering Alliance allies a rare opportunity: earn his trust, and he will teach them to tame and ride the majestic frostsabers. These elusive felines roam the snowy heights nearby, revered for their grace and strength. While the rock contains a small cave, it serves not the beasts, but those who seek to bond with them. Hopeful trainers camp atop the cliffs, striving to prove their worth. Legends speak of Shy'Rotam, greatest of the frostsabers—those fortunate enough to glimpse this noble creature are said to carry its blessing for a lifetime.

Frostwhisper Gorge bridge

A bridge that connects Winterspring to Darkwhisper Gorge across Frostwhisper Gorge.

Fungal Rock

Outside the entrance is a small pool of water with a waterfall. Along the northeastern wall, not far from Marshal's Refuge, lies this cave complex where the savage Un'Goro apes dwell. Among the few mammals encountered in the crater, these beasts defended their territory ruthlessly, driving off any reptiles that try to approach. A member of Marshal's Expedition named Kara Remtravel dedicates herself to studying these apes, and she is building a mechanical ape to get a closer look at their society.

Furlbrow's Pumpkin Farm

Furlbrow's Pumpkin Patch is one of the many farms in Westfall that has been taken over by the Defias Brotherhood and their mechanical harvesters.

Farmer Furlbrow and his wife have fled and can be found on the road near The Jansen Stead in northern Westfall.

Gahrron's Withering

Once a thriving homestead known as Gahrron's Quickening, this land now lies blighted and forsaken. Renamed Gahrron's Withering, it marks the eastern edge of the Western Plaguelands—deep within territory claimed by the Scourge. A massive plague cauldron festers at its heart, belching noxious fumes that corrupt the very air. The site is guarded by the fearsome Cauldron Lord Soulwrath and his undead cohorts, including twisted spirits like Haunting Visions, Wailing Deaths, and Hungering Wraiths. Brave members of the Argent Dawn often venture here to stem the tide of undeath, for the quests tied to this cauldron offer substantial recognition in their cause against the Scourge.

Gallow's Corner

Gallows' Corner is a crossroads in the Alterac Mountains, close to the Ruins of Alterac. This area is held by Crushridge ogres who patrol the area around the ruined scout tower. Gallow's Corner, which overlaps the road from Tarren Mill to the Plaguelands, is a settlement of the Crushridge ogres.

Gallow's End Tavern

Gallows' End Tavern features trainers for warriors, priests, mages, rogues, warlocks, enchanters, and first aid. It also has an innkeeper and a few other vendors. This tavern is notable because it is the only fully functional tavern known to be run by the Forsaken. A captured Scarlet Zealot and Dwarven Mountaineer are held in the cellars.

Gelkis Village

Gelkis Village is a centaur village located just to the east and slightly south of Shadowprey Village in southwestern Desolace. It is the principal village of the Gelkis clan, and is situated in a ring around a large ravine. A cluster of cliffs and bluffs in the ravine are connected by a series of bridges and lead to Bolgan's Hole, a cave in the southern mountain face of Desolace. The Gelkis Khan resides within this cave. The entire village is directly adjacent to Desolace's main north-south road and is thus a hazard for many travelers. The seer Uthek the Wise has realized the importance of allies and has temporarily set aside racial prejudice, recruiting adventurers from the world over to aid in the battle with the Gelkis clan's mortal enemy: the Magram centaur clan. She will reward anyone who proves themselves to the Gelkis.

Ghost Walker Post

Ghost Walker Post is a small tauren outpost established in central Desolace directly adjacent to the Kodo Graveyard. It is one of two Horde outposts in the region, though Ghost Walker Post is much more exposed to danger compared to Shadowprey Village and its relatively secure location. It is from Ghost Walker Post that the Horde wages its war on the Burning Blade and their servants in Desolace as well as the various centaur tribes. The leader of Ghost Walker Post is Gurda Wildmane, a tauren shaman. Gurda and the other shamans ease the nearby kodo into their next lives and sometimes communicate with the spirits of dead kodo. There is also a contingent of orcs here, sent by Thrall. Ghost Walker Post is home to only the bare necessities of adventuring in Desolace, lacking so much as an inn or a wind rider master.

Gnarlpine Hold

Gnarlpine Hold lies in the far southwest corner of Teldrassil. It is home to the Gnarlpine furbolgs. The Gnarlpines, lead by the powerful Ursal the Mauler, have abducted several Druids of the Claw and hold them in thrall.

Gnomeregan

Deep beneath the snowy peaks of Dun Morogh lies Gnomeregan—an engineering marvel and the ancestral home of the gnomes. Carved into the mountains by ingenious hands, the city once stood as a gleaming symbol of gnomish brilliance and innovation. From its halls, gnomes aided the Alliance with weapons, machines, and valor. But tragedy struck when troggs—awakened by dwarven excavations—burrowed into Gnomeregan’s lower tiers. High Tinker Mekkatorque, refusing to endanger Alliance forces, chose to defend the city alone. At the urging of his advisor, Sicco Thermaplugg, a desperate plan to irradiate the invaders backfired—ravaging the city and its people. Now overrun and twisted by radiation, Gnomeregan is a battlefield. Mekkatorque leads the effort to reclaim his home, while Thermaplugg—mad and treacherous—rules the ruins as a self-proclaimed techno-overlord. The fight for Gnomeregan continues.

Go'Shek Farm

Go'Shek Farm is a farmstead in the southeastern part of the Arathi Highlands near Witherbark Village. This once-human farmstead was occupied by orcs and Forsaken from Hammerfall some time after Third War. Since then, the Forsaken have been using this village as test ground for their mysterious alchemical experiments. The orcs seem to be using it for supplies to Hammerfall. Two agents of the Alliance, Quae and Kinelory, are to investigate this issue with help of some adventurers

Gol'Bolar Quarry Mine

Gol'Bolar Quarry Mine is a deep mine located in the heart of Gol'Bolar Quarry. It was once a dwarven excavation site but, in the middle of a dig, the dwarves uncovered one of the underground caverns belonging to the troggs. The troggs pushed the dwarves out, and also took over the quarry outside of the mine. As opposed to the lower-level troggs in the outer quarry, this mine holds some of their strongest numbers which includes their leader, Hammerspine. Enter with caution!

Golakka Hot Spring

The area features geysers and pools heated by the nearby volcano. Steaming Fury elementals patrol the shores of the pools.

Gold Coast Quarry

Gold Coast Quarry used to be a valuable mineral and gold mine in Westfall for the kingdom of Stormwind. Now, however, the quarry is in the hands of the Defias Brotherhood and their agents are patrolling the area.

Gordunni Ogre Mound

Ogre mounds are the crude stone huts and caverns favored by the ogres for their dwellings. They are often built around steam vents, implying that ogres seem to prefer dark and hot areas.

Grim Batol

Grim Batol is a mountain fortress in the Wetlands, originally built by the Wildhammer dwarves. After a civil war among dwarven clans, the Wildhammers settled there but were later attacked by Dark Irons led by Modgud. Though victorious, the Wildhammers abandoned Grim Batol due to its corruption after Modgud's death and moved to Aerie Peak. During the Second War, orcs took over Grim Batol, using it as a naval base and dragon breeding center, imprisoning the red dragon queen Alexstrasza. She was eventually freed by the mage Rhonin and allies, leading to the destruction of the Dragonmaw clan. Since then, red dragons, led by Garshilan, have guarded Grim Batol and its hidden power.

Grimesilt Dig Site

The Grimesilt Dig Site is a digsite once used by the Ironforge dwarves but was taken over and is currently still in the possession of the Dark Iron dwarves. One original worker at the site, Dorius Stonetender, lies injured at the bottom of the pit, and another crew member is trapped in a nearby outhouse.

Grimtotem Post

Grimtotem Post is the base of Grimtotem tribe operations in Stonetalon Mountains. Many different types, such as Brutes, Ruffians, Sorcerers, and Mercenaries patrol the post and nearby areas.

The Grimtotem tribe is a tribe of dissident taurens who do not share Cairne Bloodhoof's ideals of uniting the clans and instead focus on seeking retribution for the wrongs imposed on them in recent history.

Grol'dom Farm

Grol'dom Farm is one of the many orcish pig farms that have sprung up in the years after the founding of Orgrimmar. It is inhabited by only Kranal Fiss and his children. The farm is under constant attack from Razormane Pillagers. The farm is also of interest to shamans seeking Kranal's assistance to acquire the Fire Totem.

Grom'gol Base Camp

Grom'gol Base Camp is an orcish camp on the southwestern coast of Northern Stranglethorn. Led by Commander Aggro'gosh, the outpost provides a safe chain of supply to Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows. This fort is heavily strengthened to be able to guard against jungle trolls, naga, and the many members of the Alliance who arrive from Booty Bay and Duskwood.

Grommash Hold

Grommash Hold, named in honor of the legendary warrior Grom Hellscream, stands as the heart of the Horde in the Valley of Wisdom, Orgrimmar. This mighty fortress serves as the seat of power for Warchief Thrall, alongside leaders such as Vol'jin and Eitrigg. Within its walls reside the Kor'kron Guard—elite warriors sworn to protect the Warchief—as well as Orgrimmar’s foremost shamans, with Thrall himself as their spiritual anchor. Outside, a solemn monument marks the orcs’ liberation from demonic corruption: the skull and armor of Mannoroth, fel lord and nemesis of their kind, rest beneath an ancient tree, a lasting tribute to Grom’s sacrifice and the rebirth of the orcish soul. Grommash Hold is built not for grandeur, but for strength, purpose, and honor—echoing the values of those who lead the Horde within.

Growless Cave

Growless Cave is a cave in the Alterac Mountains that is home to yeti. Inside is the Flame of Uzel, a ceremonial pyre created by a human named Helcular, it was to be used in his ritual to become a lich. The powerful yeti Frostmaw will approach the cave if meat is burned upon the Flame of Uzel.

Hetaera's Clutch

Hetaera's Clutch is a grand underwater temple dedicated to Elune, nestled in the Bay of Storms off the coast of Azshara. This sacred site is inhabited by Hetaera's offspring, the formidable hydras. Hetaera herself is often seen swimming north of her lair, occasionally venturing onto two small islands. She claims dominion over these waters, ruthlessly slaying many of Lord Arkkoroc's progeny. Declaring herself the sovereign of the oceans, Hetaera is deemed a false deity by Lord Arkkoroc, who seeks to sever her three heads.

Hidden Path

Those just beginning to follow the path of the shaman are tasked with finding this secret route through the mountains that border the Valley of Trials. Aside from providing shaman with access to the mystical Spirit Rock, the Hidden Path provides a good view of the Barrens from its highest point. There is also a low point that can be used to get to Ratchet or Orgrimmar, and could be used by Alliance to get into the Valley of Trials.

Honor's Stand is a Horde-controlled outpost located on the western edge of the Barrens. Perched near the border with Stonetalon Mountains, it serves as a strategic military position. The outpost consists of a few watchtowers, tents, and fortified structures manned by Horde soldiers. Its primary role is to monitor Alliance activity and protect the Barrens from incursions. Tension runs high in the area, as skirmishes with the Alliance are common, especially with nearby Battlescar Valley. The surrounding terrain is rugged and dry, dotted with thorny vegetation and red rock formations.

Human statue

Ironband's Compound

Ironband's Compound lies south of Helm's Bed Lake in eastern Dun Morogh, and is a base of operations for a band of Dark Iron dwarves who readily assault anyone unfortunate enough to wander too close. It was formerly inhabited by Sturgy Ironband who was Tormus Deepforge's mentor. He taught blacksmithing in eastern Dun Morogh. One of his students brought him a new ore to work with that he named, Umbral Ore. The Dark Iron dwarves attacked the compound and killed everyone. His strongbox that hold the ore that caused his death is now guarded by the Dark Iron dwarf Captain Beld.

Ironbeard's Tomb

Ironbeard's Tomb is an ancient dwarven crypt that is crawling with oozes. The Dark Iron dwarves of Dun Modr uncovered ancient writings in their ruined fortress that spoke of an artifact called Ironbeard's Axe. They leaked this information to both Menethil Harbor and the Dragonmaw orcs, and later planned to incite both factions to race to Ironbeard's Tomb, fighting oozes and each other in the process. In the aftermath, Dark Iron agents ambushed the victors on their way out, thereby claiming the magical axe for themselves.

Ironstone Camp

Ironstone Camp is a small Horde camp at the border of the Shimmering Flats. This small group of Horde was sent to drive out the dwarven excavators from the Rustmaul Digsite, but got much more than they bargained for when the Silithid erupted from a nearby cave and attacked them. One of the members present, Moktar Krin, sends out other members of the Horde to kill the Silithid infesting the digsite.

Irontree Cavern is a deep cave inhabited by Warpwood Shredders and Warpwood Moss Flayers, two specimens of bog beasts.

Isle of Dread's Naga cave

The isle of Dread is the home to a group of naga who dwelled in a cave at the northern end. They are led by Lord Shalzaru. The cave itself seems to have a unique design and goes quite deep. There is a secret underwater passageway that leads into an inner chamber, although it has no apparent special uses besides being the location in which Lady Szallah resided.

Itharius's Cave

Itharius's Cave is the current residence of the mysterious high elf Itharius. It is located in the far southwestern corner of the Swamp of Sorrows. The area outside the cave is filled with unruly green whelps, which Itharius has taken it upon himself to watch over while they grow. Itharius is a dragon who serves as the green dragonflight ambassador with the Wyrmrest Accord. His brother Eranikus, the consort of Ysera, was one of the first dragons to succumb to the Emerald Nightmare's corruption. He seems almost to be 'baby sitting' a flock of rather cantankerous green whelps. When the green dragons in the Temple of Atal'Hakkar were driven mad by both the Emerald Nightmare and the Atal'ai, Itharius called for help from the Cenarion Circle who in turn sent a force from the Alliance to clear the temple.

Jadefire Glen

Jadefire Glen is an encampment of demonic satyr in southern Felwood.

Jadefire Run

Jadefire Run is a satyr encampment in northern Felwood. The most powerful satyr in the region make their home here, so exercise caution when adventuring in the area. Jadefire Run is a large satyr camp located near Felpaw Village in Felwood. This camp is likely the staging point for assaults on the nearby Timbermaw furbolgs. The satyrs here are also likely the source of the continuing corruption of the Felpaws, and they might also have their eyes on corrupting or killing the Timbermaws as well.

Jaggedswine Farm

Jaggedswine Farm is one of several pig farms located near the front gates of Orgrimmar in the orcish homeland of Durotar. This farm, which is partially surrounded by the Dranosh'ar Blockade, contains a storage house, a large pig pen, and a pond. The swine from this farm are a source of food for the Horde.

Jaina's Tower

Also known as the Citadel, this mage tower is Theramore's tallest structure. The building has wooden floors on its many stories, which are connected by long, winding stairs. It has many rooms, including Jaina's private quarters (which probably house dozens of books), her extensive library (which houses hundreds of books) and Theramore's little throne room (which has a window with a view). There is a magically concealed secret entrance to the tower. With walls warded with all kind of protective magics, it is a solid fortress against such attacks.

Jangolode Mine

Jangolode Mine was one of the key sources in Westfall of minerals for Stormwind City. The Defias Brotherhood has taken over the mine. Since the soldiers of Stormwind are busy fighting the Horde on the front lines, they do not have enough soldiers available to dislodge the Defias.

Jasperlode Mine

Jasperlode Mine, like Fargodeep Mine, was one of the key mining sites in Elwynn Forest, providing Stormwind City with valuable raw materials needed in the wars. Lately, however, the mine has been overrun by kobolds, and with all the soldiers tied up on the front lines against the Horde, Stormwind does not have the manpower to drive the vermin out. Unfortunately for the kobolds, the deepest recesses of this mine have been overrun by a colony of Mine Spiders who apparently see the hapless kobolds as a tasty snack. Although these spiders do not venture far from their nest, adventurers should beware as their queen, Mother Fang, does not approve of any uninvited guests.

Jerod's Landing

Jerod's Landing is a boat landing on the Elwynn Forest bank of the Nazferiti River. The landing has recently been taken over by the Defias Brotherhood, and they use it to smuggle stolen goods from Redridge to Klaven's Tower in Westfall. The entire region near Jerod's Landing is crawling with Defias rogues and bandits, making it quite hazardous to cross through for inexperienced adventurers.

Kal'ai Ruins

Kal'ai Ruins is a collection of ancient troll ruins found in Northern Stranglethorn that are partially submerged now. The Murkgill tribe of murlocs live in these ruins.

Karazhan

Karazhan, the twisted tower of Deadwind Pass, rises from a nexus of ley lines where reality itself once tore apart. Built in secret by the Guardian Aegwynn and later inhabited by her doomed son Medivh, the citadel has long been a wellspring of arcane power — and madness. Within its haunted halls, echoes of lavish feasts, forbidden rituals, and spectral duels linger. The corruption of Sargeras, the fall of Medivh, and the slaughter of innocents have left the tower cursed, its halls warped by visions and tormented souls. Though Medivh is gone, shadows endure. The Violet Eye watches, the Dark Riders prowl, and the tower’s hunger remains. All ley lines once led here — and something still stirs beneath its foundations.

Kargathia Keep

Kargathia Keep (or Kargathia Outpost) is located in eastern Ashenvale, in the eastern part of the Warsong Lumber Camp just west of the Southfury River. It is the base of operations for the officers of the Warsong Clan, and has a strategic position that lets it receive reinforcements from Orgrimmar should a battle with the Alliance break out. The keep, much like Kargath in the Badlands, and Bladefist Bay in Durotar, is named for the legendary orcish hero Kargath Bladefist. Overseer Gorthak, the orc in charge of the camp, can be found here. The building is a stronghold and is seemingly upgraded with spiked barricades.

Klaven's Tower

Klaven's Tower, named after its rogue Defias master Klaven Mortwake, lies at the southeastern edge of Westfall near the river and north of the Dagger Hills. SI:7 has been scouting this tower for some time and sometimes seeks help from adventurous rogues to sneak in and gather intelligence. It is a well known launching point for Defias activity such that it has also been called the "Defias Tower". Klaven's Tower is being used, along with Jerod's Landing in Elwynn Forest, in the smuggling of stolen goods from Redridge.

Kodo Rock

Kodo Rock is a natural monument near Camp Narache that tauren shaman needed to go to for one of their early adventures. The rock could only be seen from a short distance so one needed to pay attention.

Kolkar Village

Kolkar Village is the center of power for the Kolkar clan of centaur. The village located on the eastern margin of Desolace between Sargeron to the north and Magram Village to the south. The Kolkars are the most prolific of the centaur clans in Kalimdor, having villages and outposts in both the Barrens and Durotar, so a blow to their base of power at the village in Desolace would be a strategic move for their enemies.

Kormek's Hut

Kormek's Hut is a small hovel surrounded by barren flats in north-central Desolace. It is inhabited by the odd pair of Willow and Bibbly F'utzbuckle. Willow, who can be found inside the hut, is a friendly member of the Twilight's Hammer. Bibbly greatly enjoys dancing around in the pen outside, excited by the potential profit of kodo bones (which also litter the pen).

Lake Elune'ara

Lake Elune'ara is located near the center of the Moonglade. The reflective water of this massive lake resembles starlight and moonshine, giving the body of water its legendary name. Perhaps the water is blessed by Elune, for it is some of the most pure and healthy on all Kalimdor. Many travelers come to the Moonglade simply to taste the waters of this lake, and the druids may allow them to fill several waterskins for their journey. Water this fresh is a luxury that cannot be found often in anyone's travels. Nighthaven rests on its waters.

Lake Mennar

Lake Mennar is one of the few places in the world where the blue dragonflight can be found outside of Northrend. Although most of the region on all sides of the lake is inhabited by dragonspawn, the actual lake itself is free from danger and can provide solace and refreshment to those who are brave enough to get through the perimeter dragonkin.

Lakeshire Inn

The Lakeshire Inn in Redridge Mountains is a well-known establishment, and has kept its warm atmosphere despite the town's beleagured state. It is a popular spot to sit down and have a chat and a drink of wine or ale, and the inn also offers bedrest to the weary traveler.

Lakeshire Town Hall

The Lakeshire Town Hall in the Redridge Mountains is an old building that has been diligently refurbished several times. The town hall is commonly the seat of rule by the local magistrate, and the current magistrate, Solomon, is a kind and wise ruler. The town's problems with gnolls and Blackrock orcs has put him in a state of desperation, however, and he readily accepts aid from helpful adventurers.

Lariss Pavilion

Lariss Pavillion is a large outdoor night elf style building in Feralas just north of Camp Mojache. The nearby dryads that are usually peaceful have been corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare and now attack anyone. The Pavilion is home to a mysterious man named Azj'Tordin. Apparently a Highborne who disagreed with Prince Tortheldrin, he left Dire Maul via means of a backdoor located at the bottom of the Pavilion, but not before an imp by the name of Pusillin stole his book of incantations. Along the western rim of the pavillion is a downward spiral ramp whose northern area has the door to The Hidden Reach. This door can only be accessed by use of the Crescent Key. Once open, there is a winding tunnel that goes down to an instance portal. Once crossed, there is a corridor that leads to the easternmost portion of Dire Maul East. The area is guarded by Lashers and Satyrs.

Light's Hope Chapel

Light's Hope Chapel, nestled in the Eastern Plaguelands, serves as a sanctuary and the Argent Crusade’s stronghold. Once part of ancient Arathi lands in Eastweald, this hallowed site predates the rise of Lordaeron. Built by the Church of the Holy Light, it became one of the faith's most sacred shrines. Following Arthas’s devastation, Lord Maxwell Tyrosus led a secret effort to bury a thousand fallen champions beneath the chapel to shield them from undeath. After Alexandros Mograine’s fall, exiled paladins formed the Argent Dawn, making the chapel their base and opening their ranks to all races. During a desperate battle against the Scourge, Darion Mograine sacrificed himself to redeem his father, awakening the spirits of the buried heroes to repel the undead. Though victorious, Darion's body and the Ashbringer were lost. The chapel endures as a beacon of hope and unity, hosting alliances—even with former foes—against the darkness.

The inn has been run by the Farley family for years, since the time of King Llane Wrynn I, and they take great effort to run an above-board business. Lion's Pride offers a wide range of services from class trainers and quest givers to drinks aplenty.

Lord Perenolde's Manor

Aliden Perenolde, son of Lord Aiden Perenolde, leads the Syndicate, a rogue organization based in the Alterac Mountains. Groomed to inherit leadership of Alterac, Aliden’s ambitions were disrupted when the Alliance destroyed the city due to his father's betrayal in the Second War. With his father imprisoned and later dead, the Syndicate fractured, but Aliden eventually took control. After the Third War left Lordaeron in ruins, he seized the opportunity to rally other exiled nobles and reclaim lost lands, aiming ultimately to retake Alterac City from the ogres. Now in his 40s, Aliden is charismatic but ruthless, aware that many — including his own children — might betray him. He dresses in attire marked with the Perenolde crest and maintains tight security. A supporter of slavery, he seeks to reinstate orc internment camps, inspired by Aedelas Blackmoore, possibly his mentor. Aliden also allies with an orc named Nagaz, echoing Blackmoore’s ties to Thrall.

Lordamere Internment Camp

Lordamere Internment Camp is the only facility of its kind in the Alterac Mountains. Positioned on a hill overlooking the Dalaran Crater, it is protected by Dalaran forces. Four treacherous Forsaken are hiding there, and Horde agents are tasked with eliminating them for their crimes. While traveling to Dalaran, young Prince Arthas Menethil and Lady Jaina Proudmoore chose to secretly observe the orcs in the camp at night. Despite patrols and two watchtowers guarding the area, they slipped in undetected and witnessed the lethargic orcs. Jaina, upon seeing women and children among them, felt a deep sense of guilt and doubt. Arthas, however, firmly believed the camps were justified. The two eventually left without being discovered. The camp is overseen by Warden Belamoore, the commander of the Dalaran forces in the region. She is currently conducting research on the Bloodstone Artifacts delivered to her by Kegan Darkmar and his allies.

Lost Point

Lost Point is a run-down, decrepit scout tower built by the humans of Theramore. It is located in western Dustwallow Marsh, and is currently inhabited by Theramore deserters.

The Alliance forces attempt to deal with both the corruption of the nearby furbolgs and they will solicit help from willing adventurers.

Magram Village

Magram Village is a centaur village, home of the Magram clan. It is located in the southeastern area of Desolace on the shores and islands of a series of polluted yellow pools. Crude bridges connect the islands to each other and the shore. Adventurers can choose to ally with the Magram clan in their ongoing war against the Gelkis clan.

Maiden's Orchard

Malden's Orchard is a small orchard in northern Silverpine Forest. The trees in the orchard are dark and evergreen, but their fruits have not been picked in years. The orchard is named for its former owner, who was forced to flee his home when the Scourge invaded Lordaeron. Recently, large numbers of black worgs have taken up residence around the orchard and its single small cottage. When the Deathstalkers Rane Yorick, Quinn Yorick, and Erland McKree were conducting their reconnaissance mission, Erland was tasked with exploring Malden's Orchard. When he arrived he encountered the numerous worgs and has been forced to take refuge within the abandoned cottage.

Malaka'jin

Malaka'jin is a Horde village in the Stonetalon Mountains, just south of the Grimtotem Post. It houses a small community of troll hunters who make a modest income by selling their catches to passing Horde adventurers. Inside this troll encampment, night elves are being held by the witch doctor Jin'Zil, who seeks ingredients for his voodoo potions. Even so, there aren't enough trolls here to be a great threat to the elves.

Manor Mistmantle

Manor Mistmantle is the stead of Stalvan Mistmantle. It is located in northeastern Duskwood, north of Darkshire and west of Beggar's Haunt. Stalvan Mistmantle was a former school teacher and personal tutor who is now an agent of the undead. The manor grounds are rotten and overrun by Stalvan's ghoulish minions. The only sign of life on the property is a single flower in the garden, known as the Tear of Tilloa.

Maraudon

Maraudon consists of three wings (the Wicked Grotto, Foulspore Cavern, and Earth Song Falls). It is a combination of ancient centaur burial grounds, as well as a primal temple dedicated to the elemental earth. According to legend, Zaetar, son of Cenarius, and the earth elemental princess Theradras begot the barbaric centaur race. Shortly after the centaur's creation, the ruthless creatures murdered their father. The grief-stricken Theradras is said to have trapped her lover's spirit within Maraudon, corrupting the region. Now, vicious centaur ghosts and twisted elemental minions roam every corner of the sprawling caves. Following the Horde's rise to power, Theradras worried that her centaur children might be driven to extinction. She infused them with her power and drove them to claim new territories outside of Desolace. The Magram centaur clan—the only clan not loyal to Theradras— claims that Maraudon was the source of the corruption in the region.

Mardenholde Keep

Mardenholde Keep stands as the heart of Hearthglen in the Western Plaguelands. Once the seat of Lord Tirion Fordring, it now serves as the command post of Highlord Taelan Fordring and the Scarlet Crusade. Within its stone halls, the fate of Hearthglen—and once much of the region—was long decided. The keep housed Tirion’s war councils, guarded by Captain Arden, and held maps detailing the land with precision. A bastion of trade for the Alliance, Mardenholde never fell, even during the orc invasions. Before the Third War, it teemed with envoys and diplomats, as tensions stirred anew. After Tirion's exile for aiding the orc Eitrigg, Barthilas succeeded him before departing to Stratholme. In the war’s aftermath, the Silver Hand gathered here, but internal betrayal shattered unity. Fairbanks exposed corruption; Maxwell Tyrosus departed to found the Argent Dawn. Those who remained became the Scarlet Crusade—now entrenched in Mardenholde’s once-hallowed halls.

Marshal's Refuge

The closest thing to a town in Un'Goro Crater is Marshal's Refuge, the cavern in the north where Williden's people stay during their tenure in the crater. a semi-permanent home in Un'Goro. All they have are ramshackle storage sheds and a communal tent to shunt the rain away. Here these stalwart explorers live a primitive existence as they study the crater. Although among them they have the means to improve their settlement, none of them has bothered to spend the time doing so. They are too busy with their research. If you visit the place, better bring your own supplies — they only have enough to support themselves.

Mazra'Alor

Mazra'Alor is the large ziggurat temple located at the heart of Zul'Mashar in the Eastern Plaguelands. It is populated by several forest troll shadow hunters of the Mossflayer tribe.

Mazthoril

Mazthoril is a huge and deep icy cavern — populated by blue dragons — located near the central part of Winterspring, not far from Lake Kel'Theril or Everlook. The Caverns of Mazthoril are the home of Kalimdor's blue dragonflight. The blue dragonspawn General Cobaltann guards it and the blue dragon matron Haleh oversees it. The traditional home of the blue dragonflight is Northrend, but more and more dragons migrate to the caverns of Mazthoril in Winterspring. This migration occurs for two main reasons: first, because of the growing concern about another imminent attack on the World Tree Nordrassil; and second, to retreat from the Scourge, which some dragons see as a threat the dragonflight is not prepared to conquer. In both locations, the dragons inhabit massive tunnel systems, where they study magic and prepare for battle against the black dragonflight, the Scourge and other dangers.

Menethil Keep

Menethil Keep is the fort that dominates the port town of Menethil Harbor. It is led by Captain Stoutfist, the commander of the Menethil militia. Besides several guards, it also holds a few additional quest givers and a vendor.

Moonbrook

Moonbrook lies in the shadowed heart of Westfall, southwest of Sentinel Hill—a ghost town under the grip of the Defias Brotherhood. Once a thriving farming hub before the First War, it fell to the Horde alongside Goldshire in the final days before Stormwind’s sacking. Though rebuilt after the Second War, the town was later abandoned and seized by the Defias during their rise. Now, it serves as a covert access point to their stronghold: the Deadmines. Among the ruined structures stands the Moonbrook Inn, housing the neutral Defias Profiteer—an elusive merchant who sells basic leather gear, offers repairs, and greets all travelers, Horde or Alliance. The western residence of the Cooper family still stands, and in the derelict schoolhouse, forgotten documents hint at the dark past of instructor Stalvan Mistmantle. Near the outskirts, Foreman Thistlenettle once managed the local mine for the Explorers’ League—before the Brotherhood claimed it all

There are similar ruins located nearby, at Ameth'Aran and Bashal'Aran in Darkshore, Ordil'Aran in Ashenvale, and Tethris'Aran in Desolace. Once thriving cities, now these ruins only serve as a reminder of the golden age that was lost long ago.

Nethander Stead

Nethander Stead is a farm just east of Southshore. It has been overrun by Mudsnout gnolls and is the only location in which gnolls of this tribe can be found. Giant white mushrooms called Mudsnout Blossoms grow in its abandoned fields. These mushrooms are once of particular interest to Apothecary Lydon in order to make a deadly brew called the Elixir of Agony. Lydon is a member of the Royal Apothecary Society. Though dedicated to the Dark Lady and the advancement of the Forsaken, he suffers from severe depression. The only thing that cheers him up is the suffering of the living.

Night Run

Night Run is located in east-central Ashenvale, east of Raynewood Retreat and northwest of Splintertree Post. It's inhabited by the Felmusk satyr. Shortly after the Sundering, Arvell and Ralaar in Pack Form attacked the Sentinels battling the satyrs, killing Aldorei, Elanu, Morina, Tyrnas and wounding Shandris. The attack marked the beginning of the War of the Satyr. It is one of the three Ashenvale satyr settlements, the other two being Satyrnaar and Xavian. Of the three, Night Run is by far the smallest, boasting only a few broken pillars and pieces of ruined architecture as shelter for the satyr who live there. Here is one of the soulgems belonging to the Cult of the Dark Strand, which the Satyr are allied with. It is located on a naze that juts out into the land with unclimbable cliffs on the side. To get to Night Run, one has to run along the Falfarren River almost to the waters of Xavian before turning west, or approach it from a narrow ledge north of Raynewood.

The night elves rebuild here on the site some of their ancient ruins. The Cenarion Circle members are led by Keeper Marandis.

North Gate Outpost

North Gate Outpost is the northeasternmost settlement of the dwarves built in Dun Morogh. It lies in the middle of North Gate Pass, which links Dun Morogh in the west with Loch Modan in the east. The mountaineers stationed at the outpost are busily defending it from encroaching wildlife, and some dwarves have gone missing in the mountains in search of the more ferocious beasts. Young dwarves and gnomes are tasked with exploring the area and looking for any signs of the lost mountaineers and the animals which killed them.

North Gate Pass, Dun Morogh entrance

North Gate Pass connects Dun Morogh in the high mountains to the west with Loch Modan in the lower mountains to the east. It is frequently traveled by adventurers coming from or going to the Wetlands, as this pass is the closest to the descent from the Loch. North Gate Pass is also the location of the guard station of North Gate Outpost.

North Gate pass, Loch Modan entrance

Northshire Abbey, nestled in the foothills of Elwynn Forest within the Kingdom of Stormwind, is home to the Brotherhood of Northshire, a religious order of clerics. The abbey is composed of three key areas: the Main Hall, Hall of Arms, and the Library Wing. It serves as a training ground for mages, priests, warriors, paladins, and warlocks, with trainers scattered across the abbey grounds, including a graveyard to the east and a rogue trainer hidden near the stable. Historically, the abbey was a stronghold for the Holy Order of Northshire Clerics. During the First War, the abbey became a bastion for Stormwind's forces under Archbishop Alonsus Faol. It was destroyed in a brutal orcish attack, later becoming the base for Cho'Gall's Twilight's Hammer clan during the Second War. Despite rebuilding, the abbey remains plagued by kobold infestations, bandits, and dangerous creatures in its depths. Northshire Abbey is both a place of learning and a reminder of its tumultuous past.

Northshire River's bridge

The only bridge spanning the Northshire river is a wooden bridge of human architecture.

Northwatch Hold

Northwatch Hold is a massive Alliance fortress located between the Merchant Coast in the Southern Barrens and Dustwallow Marsh. Following years of destructive warfare, it is one of two Alliance positions held in the Barrens, the other being Bael Modan. Grim forces — soldiers loyal to Jaina Proudmoore's father Admiral Daelin Proudmoore — man the Hold, much like Tiragarde Keep in Durotar. Due to the events following the Third War and Jaina's decision to forge an alliance with the orcs, which eventually resulted in Admiral Proudmoore's death, the soldiers here harbor a hatred of the Horde and attack its people and outposts often. It is important to note that Jaina Proudmoore openly opposes their actions, which causes strife in the area's Alliance politics. Northwatch's location is strategic, blocking the coastal approaches to Dustwallow from the north, forcing any Horde assault to travel south and navigate the marshes if they wanted to reach Theramore Isle.

Olsen's Farthing

Olsen's Farthing was once a bustling farmstead with direct contact into the main throughway of trade in the Silverpine Forest. Olsen and his family lived here and made a good living, but all that changed with the coming of the Scourge. One night, crazed ghouls and fearsome skeletal warriors charged the farm, murdering any they came across. Olsen desperately tried to barricade himself and his family inside the barn, but the undead eventually broke the barricade and proceeded to butcher the entire family. The Scourge still haunts the farm, ravenously attacking anyone who enter the area.

Onyxia's Lair

Onyxia is the daughter of the mighty Black Aspect, Deathwing, and sister of the scheming Nefarian, Lord of Blackrock Spire. Whereas her father favors brute force, and her brother creates twisted abominations to carry out his will, Onyxia prefers subtle manipulation, and delights in meddling in the political affairs of mortals, using her charm and power to influence such delicate matters between the different races to her own ends. Most recently, she very nearly succeeded in destroying the political structure of Stormwind in the guise of Katrana Prestor, before being unmasked by Marshal Windsor and fleeing to her lair: a fiery cave below the Dragonmurk. Onyxia built the lair. The entrance to the lair was carved to look like the maw of the broodmother herself, with its inner pathway being magma-lined and the ground cracked, glowing with fire from beneath. The arching stone ceiling groans and shifts, creating constant rockfalls. The walls spill lava where the heat can't be contained.

Ortell's Hideout

Ortell's Hideout is a small cave located in southeastern Silithus where Hermit Ortell resides.

Palemane Rock

Palemane Rock is a cave in western Mulgore inhabited by gnolls of the Palemane tribe. They are aggressive creatures and will attack any who wander too close. The gnolls live both inside the cave and in a camp outside, and the cave itself stretches fairly deep into the mountainside. The gnolls slay Mulgore's wildlife and the tauren tried to speak with them but failed. Thus the tauren send adventurers to cull their numbers.

Plaguewood Tower

Plaguewood Tower is a scout tower located in the Plaguewood of the Eastern Plaguelands, very close to the nearby Terrordale. During the Scourge invasion of Lordaeron, the tower was probably destroyed and left in ruins.

Quel Danis Lodge

Quel'Danil Lodge is the larger of two high elf outposts in Lordaeron, located in the Hinterlands near Aerie Peak. Overseen by the calm high elf Saldor Shallowbrook, it serves as a diplomatic center for the remaining high elves, known as the Highvale high elves, who number around 650-800 in the region. Jalinde Summerdrake is believed to be one of their leaders. The lodge holds a captive Witherbark troll named Rin'ji, and it functions as a communication hub where ambassadors work to build relations with other races, sharing knowledge about the local Witherbark trolls. After the Third War, the Highvale elves allied with the Wildhammer dwarves, angering the Revantusk trolls, who urged attacks on them. Horde adventurers freed Rin'ji and retrieved an ancient tablet, later tasked by scholar Oran Snakewrithe to destroy Highvale communication documents. Despite these efforts, the elves retained important records about their people.

Quel'Lithien

Quel'Lithien Lodge is a high elven hunting outpost near the gates of Quel'Thalas. Once a prominent Farstrider camp, it welcomed many travelers, including Lor'themar Theron, who remembered its warm camaraderie. The lodge housed important elven records, some linked to the royal family and the Ranger-General of Silvermoon. During the Second War, it was led by Renthar Hawkspear. After the Scourge ravaged Quel’Thalas, Renthar and his dissenting rangers—opposed to Grand Magister Rommath’s teachings—were exiled south by Regent Lor'themar to preserve unity. The priestess Aurora Skycaller joined them, and the lodge became their refuge. In time, the Horde, under orders from Nathanos Blightcaller, assaulted the lodge. Many rangers fell, and the attackers seized the precious Quel’Thalas Registry.

Rage Scar Hold

Rage Scar Hold is a dug in cave in northwestern Feralas. It contains the most vicious yetis in the area. Books and symbols within the cave seem to indicate the Yetis are studying this kind of magic unless it was owned by some unfortunate magi in the past. The contents of the cave and night elven architecture deeper within it possibly indicate it as a former night elf barrow den. Being as there are no night elves within the cave and no one seems to mention it as being so, the fate of the inhabitants after the yetis moved in seems to be bleak.

Ratchet

Ratchet on Kalimdor’s central east coast, is run by goblins and shows it. Built from equal parts of industry and decadence, the goblin port city of Ratchet sprawls along nearly a mile of coastline where the eastern Barrens poke between Durotar and the Dustwallow Marsh to the sea. Ratchet is a trade city where you can find almost anything you desire. Ratchet also has regular ferries that traverse the safe though roundabout route to the island stronghold of Theramore to the south. It is a city of entertainment and trade. Ratchet is Kalimdor’s largest port. Pirate vessels receive amnesty in Ratchet’s waters, bringing an influx of the disreputable and violent. Indeed, Ratchet is a hotspot, as races of all types and members of all social economic strata rub shoulders in the bazaars. Ratchet is currently run by Gazlowe, the Overseer of Ratchet, of the Steamwheedle Cartel under the watchful eye of the trade princes, who give him considerably free reign.

Ravenholdt Manor

Ravenholdt Manor is the headquarters for the Ravenholdt faction. It is the property of Lord Jorach Ravenholdt and has its own garden, supervised by Simone Cantrell, as well as a training arena, domain of Master Kang. Outsiders are not really welcome here. There is a plateau slightly northwest of Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad Foothills. At the back of this plateau, where it meets the mountains (the Alterac Mountains, incidentally), you should find a small path leading up into the mountains. This path twists back and forth, goes through a small cave, and then leads to Ravenholdt Manor.

Raynewood Retreat

It is an Alliance outpost where Ordanus, a keeper of the grove and one of the eldest sons of the forest god Cenarius, is hiding. The outpost is populated by night elven Cenarion Protectors, Blink Dragons, and Laughing Sisters. From that outpost, they watch over the path leading north to the corrupted land of Felwood. The druids and keepers here oppose the corruption that spreads through their beloved land. Raynewood Retreat was also used as a base by the night elf army during the War of the Satyr, around 9,700 years ago.

The harpies here, ruled by Grenka Bloodscreech, are hostile—though perhaps less so than others of their kind. Instead of attacking on sight, they may give strangers a second look and screech among themselves for a moment before attacking. Most of them wear primitive belts and jewelry, and a few carry weapons in their clawed hands.

Roland's Doom

Roland's Doom is the mine which the Scythe of Elune apparently resides. The mine, now Worgen-infested, is where Jitters first found the Scythe, releasing the Worgen and in time the Dark Riders upon Duskwood and Darkshire, condemning them to permanent darkness.

Scarlet Raven Tavern

Scarlet Raven Tavern is located in Darkshire, Duskwood. It was once a cheerful and friendly place full of people relaxing after a hard day's work at the fields. Although the hearth has been kept warm, it now holds a more morose crowd, who sit by their tables and drink silently while the darkness presses in on the tavern outside. The inn features several quest givers, as well as a few vendors. While the tavern no longer saw the business it used to do because of the corruption of Duskwood, they still do get travelers passing through.

Arugal, consumed by guilt and madness, embraced the worgen as his "children" and claimed the fortress, now known as Shadowfang Keep. After Arugal’s fall to Horde adventurers, the ruined stronghold was overrun by Scourge remnants and the treacherous Lord Godfrey, a disgraced Gilnean noble revived by the Forsaken.

Shadowsong Shrine

Shadowsong Shrine is a ruin-covered hill in western Azshara. It is haunted by the ghosts of the highborne, who also roam the surrounding landscape looking to quench all intruding life. The shrine shars its name with both Jarod Shadowsong, commander of the resistance during the War of the Ancients and Maiev Shadowsong, older sister of Jarod and the famous warden who was held responsible for the captivity of Illidan Stormrage after his betrayal at Mt.

Over time, a village named Shady Rest formed around it, featuring a jetty and pier that attracted coastal merchant traffic. Unknown to most, the garrison was secretly Quarvel’s Raiders, a group of bandits targeting Horde caravans. The inn and surrounding village were mysteriously burned down. Paval Reethe and possibly Lieutenant Caldwell were suspects, but both were killed before the truth could emerge. At the time, the inn was run by James Hyal, whose wife and child perished in the fire.

Southpoint Tower

Southpoint Tower is a ruined tower at the far west end of Hillsbrad Foothills, just south of the road to Silverpine Forest. The Forsaken Deathstalker Lesh, a scout for High Executor Darthalia, is stationed here, spying on the Alliance activity in the area.

Southshore Town Hall

The Southshore Town Hall is an important structure to the remants of Lordaeron, as it, along with the one at Hillsbrad, Ambermill, Pyrewood Village and perhaps Dalaran is the only one to still belong to the humans, as all the others have fallen to the Syndicate or the undead. Magistrate Henry Maleb is the town's ruler, and holds his office in this building.

Southwind Village

Southwind Village was once a night elven base of operation in Silithus, but was destroyed by the qiraji during the War of the Shifting Sands. The village has been left overrun by relentless silithid that infested large parts of that area. The horror of the village's initial sundering echoed through time — the tortured spirits of fallen druids and Sentinels wander the ruins aimlessly led by Shade of Ambermoon.

Spirit Rock

Spirit Rock is a place sacred to the shaman of the Horde. It is located in the hills high above the Valley of Trials in Durotar, and is accessible from the Hidden Path leading up to it. Aspiring shaman are to drink a sapta near the rock in order to commune with the earth.

Splinterspear Junction

Splinterspear Junction is where the main road into the Swamp of Sorrows splits. The north branch will take you past the Harborage and to the Fallow Sanctuary, while the southern branch will take you to Stonard and the path to the Blasted Lands. An old orcish watch tower sits there and the area is regularly patrolled by Horde guards, so Alliance adventurers are advised to keep their eyes open when traveling the roads.

Splintertree Post

Splintertree Post is a Horde outpost in Ashenvale, lying just north-west of Felfire Hill. Like most Horde outposts, Splintertree is mainly populated by orcs and tauren, all whom are primarily scouts and guards. There are several quest givers, a heavy armor vendor for repairs, an inn, mailbox, stable master, and a flight path maintained by wind rider flight master Vhulgra. Splintertree was established and occupied by Grommash Hellscream and his Warsong clan orcs during the Third War when the orcs first ventured into Ashenvale. The night elves, still on uneven ground with the past actions of the Warsong leader and with the strain on the Horde/Alliance peace agreements from the last war, Splintertree is subject to a high amount of retaliation, especially since raids on Astranaar are frequent.

Splithoof Crag

Splithoof Crag is the name of the Galak centaur village located against the northern wall of Thousand Needles, just east of Darkcloud Pinnacle.

Splithoof Hold

Splithoof Hold is a cave located in Splithoof Crag in Thousand Needles. The Galak centaur tribe adapted it into a stronghold. The cavern house the Ancient Brazier and the Sacred Flame, which eternally burns, even underwater.

Stables

Stables that tends horses

Stagalbog Cave

A large cave located in the Stagalbog in eastern Swamp of Sorrows. Many murlocs of the Marsh tribe live here, with their leader, the Swamp Talker who stole the warchief's orders from Bengor an orc located in Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows.

Staghelm Point

Staghelm Point is a night elven tower found on the top of a peak in northeastern Silithus. Ralo'shan the Eternal Watcher resides here, alongside a bronze drake from the Brood of Nozdormu that circles the skies above the tower. Not far from the tower, following down the road, is Twilight's Run, a cave full of Twilight cultists also with a small camp outside the mouth of the cave.

Steamwheedle Port

Steamwheedle Port is a port village on the eastern coast of the Tanaris desert, in the South Seas. Belonging to the goblins' neutral Steamwheedle Cartel, it is connected by a road to its mother city of Gadgetzan to the west, and also has a dock for ships to and from Kezan. This small village was home to a more sedate population of goblins and peaceful trolls, who spend most of their time fishing and fighting off Southsea Pirates. They had several machines set up to turn salt water into fresh water, but these worked only on rare occasions.

Steelgrill's Depot

Steelgrill's Depot is small settlement of miners and engineers that lies just east of Kharanos in Dun Morogh. There are three trainers, some vendors. Steelgrill's Depot lies around the bend after Kharanos, is a hangout for siege engine drivers where Beldin Steelgrill hires anyone he can to assist in gathering parts for the maintenance and repair of siege engines. The depot is a solid stone complex, with numerous workshops and wooden awnings to fix vehicles and protect them from the elements. The skeletons of incomplete siege engines lie half-submerged in the snow surrounding the enclave. Brann Bronzebeard decorated one such wreck with the heads of all the troggs he killed nearby.

Stendel's Pond

Stendel's Pond is a small pond, located southwest of Sentinel Hill in Westfall. It is currently surrounded by gnolls. While water is scarce in Westfall, no one seems to be exploiting the pond. Stendel's Bane, a very rare fish-item and the more common Sagefish Schools can both be found and fished up from the pond.

Stonard inn

Stonard inn. Innkeeper Karakul is the local orc innkeeper.

Stonard stables

Stonard Stables. Hekkru is the orc stable master located in Stonard that rules the local stables.

Stonebull Lake Bridge

The bridge spans Stonebull Lake at its narrowest point. The road that crosses this bridge connects Thunder Bluff to Bloodhoof Village.

Stonetalon Peak

Stonetalon Peak is an Alliance settlement at the far northwestern end of the Stonetalon Mountains. It is built within a verdant mountain valley and is maintained by the druids of the nearby Talon Den. Local cultures consider the mountain sacred. It is suffused by magic. This forested peak is a glimpse at what the entire Stonetalon Mountains looked like before the goblins and elementals arrived. Here, one can find the only Alliance outpost, led by a night elf named Albagorn. The night elves take shelter on Stonetalon Peak, maintaining that refuge with the help of their allies. The elves here are assisted in their efforts to reclaim the mountains by dryads and mighty keepers of the grove. A barrow den is also located here, where some druids lie sleeping, connecting to the Emerald Dream.

Stonewatch Falls

Stonewatch Falls is located on the terminus of Lake Everstill's eastern river. It cascades down the hill below Stonewatch and forms a deep lake in the nook of the eastern Redridge Mountains. A small tribe of murlocs make their home here, catching fish from the lake and erecting crude structures to sleep in.

Stonewatch Tower

Stonewatch Tower is the secondary structure of the human stronghold of Stonewatch, which also includes the Stonewatch Keep. They both used to be controlled by the Humans of Lakeshire but were taken by orcs of the Blackrock clan. Now the tower is firmly in the hands of Gath'Ilzogg's underlings.

Stonewatch keep

Stonewatch Keep was once an Alliance fortress. It fell in the Second War to the orcs, and in their hands it stays. It is located east of Lakeshire in a strategic position atop a hill. The orcs harry travelers and sometimes muster the courage to raid the outskirts of Lakeshire. They are advance forces for their brethren in Blackrock Spire. Brann Bronzebeard speculates that they may have more nefarious plans for Lakeshire than mere raiding, perhaps urged by their master, the black dragon Nefarion. Most often, however, they just sit in their keep and taunt others to take it back from them. When Brann was passing by the keep, he experienced their more colorful greetings. A clever orc made a suggestion about his beard in Dwarven, and Brann nearly decides to tare the keep down with his bare hands

Stonewrought Dam

East of Algaz Gate, along Loch Modan's northern shore, is Stonewrought Dam. This massive piece of dwarven architecture traps the snowmelt from Ironforge Mountain, creating the lake. Chief Engineer Hinderweir VII oversees the dam. Few know it, but Stonewrought Dam is the work of a Dark Iron dwarf. Franclorn Forgewright was a master architect before the War of the Three Hammers and the name "Stonewrought" refers to his works. The construction dams up the Loch, more than doubling its original size. The dam also creates the flooded plains of the Wetlands, which previously were mostly underwater.

Stonewrought Pass, Searing gorge entrance

The Stonewrought Pass is a tunnel in Searing Gorge that leads northeast to Loch Modan. The pass is located at the northern end of Dustfire Valley, and ends at the Valley of Kings. Franclorn Forgewright designed this, as well as the Stonewrought Dam and other stonework architecture in the Eastern Kingdoms. The pass is surrounded by locked gates on both sides. Mountaineer Pebblebitty guards Loch Modan gate, only letting Alliance adventurers if they agree to help her.

Mountaineer Pebblebitty guards Loch Modan gate, only letting Alliance adventurers if they agree to help her.

Stratholme

Stratholme, once the second-largest city of Lordaeron, was a shining beacon of faith and trade in the Eastweald. It was here that the Knights of the Silver Hand were founded before the Second War. The city thrived until it fell victim to the Plague of Undeath, spread by tainted grain from Andorhal. Prince Arthas, in a desperate attempt to halt the Scourge, ordered a brutal purge of its citizens, leading to Stratholme's fiery ruin. After the massacre, the Scourge claimed the city, transforming it into a stronghold of undeath. Baron Rivendare now leads the undead from within, clashing with the Scarlet Crusade and the Argent Dawn. A single bastion remains in human hands—the Scarlet Bastion—though its zealots consider all outsiders enemies. Once a place of holiness and hope, Stratholme now stands as a grim monument to despair and the cost of fanaticism.

Sun Rock Retreat

Sun Rock Retreat is a Horde settlement centrally-located in the Stonetalon Mountains, hidden amid the peaks south of Mirkfallon Lake. It is the area's primary hub of activity and trade, hosting a contingent of predominantly orcish and tauren forces devoted to repairing the damage done to the mountains by the Venture Company and other malignant forces. Tauren make pilgrimages to Sun Rock Retreat to engage in rituals to cross over to the spirit world, as the place has a strong bond to the spirit realm. It is said that long ago, An'she himself kissed the mountain where the retreat now stands.

Swamplight Manor

Swamplight Manor is a small house located in the Witch Hill region of Dustwallow Marsh. It is home to the famous cook, "Swamp Eye" Jarl. In the small garden outside the "manor", there is a pile of dirt that contains the buried report of an orcish spy. Alliance adventurers turn this in to Captain Garran Vimes and Horde adventurers can turn it in to Nazeer Bloodpike.

Tabetha's Farm

Tabetha's Farm is a small hut with a garden located in the murkiest part of the Quagmire in Dustwallow Marsh. Tabetha, a powerful mage living with two apprentices, is present in the building along with her two apprentices Garion and Morlann. She also has a dock to host those who navigate the waters of the swamp by riverboat. Andello Porter of SI:7 can be found here.

Taelan's Tower

Taelan's Tower is an Argent Crusade guard tower along the road to Hearthglen in the Western Plaguelands. This tower is like Hearthglen itself, occupied by the Scarlet Crusade. A Holy Coffer containing the Mark of the Lightbringer is situated at the top of the structure.

Talonbranch Glade

Talonbranch Glade is a small night elf homestead in the northern parts of Felwood, this is as close to Alliance territory as you’ll find in Felwood. This amounts to a single house, a hippogryph roost, and a few friendly — if edgy — night elves.

Talrendis Point

Talrendis Point is an very small Alliance outpost located in southwestern Azshara. It is populated mostly by night elves, but also famously houses a friendly tauren, Loh'atu. Like Valormok, Talrendis Point is a frontier town and offers only the barest of necessities.

Tanner Camp

Tanner Camp is a small camp in the Searing Gorge where Sarah Tanner, a human artisan elemental leatherworking trainerfor the Alliance, lives. Behind her tent is a long, sprawling passageway that leads to the thunder lizard Margol the Rager. Margol wanders in and out of his cave in the hills east of the Tanner Camp, in the southeastern part of the land. Legend has it that he ate Burrian Coalpart's brother Barnabas. Mountaineer Pebblebitty's axe head is stuck in Margol's horn.

Temple of Ahn'Qiraj

At the heart of Ahn'Qiraj lies an ancient temple complex, a monument to unspeakable gods and a breeding ground for the qiraji army. Since the War of the Shifting Sands ended a thousand years ago, the Twin Emperors of the qiraji empire have been trapped inside their temple, barely contained by the magical barrier erected by the bronze dragon Anachronos and the night elves. Now, with the Scepter of the Shifting Sands reassembled and the seal broken, the way into the inner sanctum of Ahn'Qiraj is open. Beyond the crawling madness of the hives, beneath the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, legions of qiraji prepare for invasion. They must be stopped at all costs before they can unleash their voracious insectoid armies on Kalimdor once again, and a second War of the Shifting Sands breaks loose!

Temple of Arkkoran

The Temple of Arkkoran is a former temple of Elune located on the northeastern shores of Azshara and it is where the sea giant Arkkoroc lives. He can be found at the top level of the temple and is guarded by murlocs and makrura who attacked on sight. He is the supposed god of the sea giants. The makrura and murlocs in the area consider him some kind of divinity as well. Loramus Thalipedes describes him as a lesser deity, and his sons, the sea giants, patrol around the temple. Many of Lord Arkkoroc's sons were slain by the hydra Hetaera, and he now seeks revenge. Arkkoran only leaves the temple when he is in a foul moodThe Shattered Strand, which the temple is located on, is also under watch by hydras and aggressive sea giants.

Temple of Atal'Hakkar

Deep within the Swamp of Sorrows lie the sunken ruins of the Temple of Atal’Hakkar — a forgotten shrine built by the Atal’ai, a sect of exiled troll priests who once served the mighty Gurubashi Empire. Driven by visions of blood and prophecy, they sought to summon Hakkar the Soulflayer, an ancient and malevolent blood god. Though cast out for their heresy, the Atal’ai erected a hidden temple to prepare for his return. Alarmed by their growing power, the green Dragon Aspect Ysera intervened, sinking the temple beneath the marshes. Her dragons now stand eternal vigil over its flooded halls. Yet whispers persist that some Atal’ai survived, continuing their dark rites in the shadows. The temple — also called the Sunken Temple — remains sealed, its cursed depths home to restless spirits, ancient wards, and forbidden powers awaiting release. Few who enter ever return.

Temple of Zin-Malor

The Temple of Zin-Malor is an ancient building situated in the Ruins of Eldarath. It was once a prominent night elven temple to the worship of their goddess, Elune. Its similarity to the nearby Temple of Arkkoran is striking, as they both have a very similar design to the current Temple of the Moon in Darnassus. The temple is currently occupied by the Spitelash tribe of naga under the leadership of Warlord Krellian, who himself inhabits the temple in a place of honor. The temple has at least one underground royal vault, which contains a chest of pandaren design, the last gift the pandaren gave to the Highborne before cutting ties with the night elves. The pandaren said it contained all the arcane magic the Highborne would ever need, but was in fact completely empty. The gift was actually a message of advice and wisdom to the Highborne: that they did not actually need arcane magic at all.

Tethris Aran

Tethris Aran is a series of night elven ruins found in northern Desolace just north of Thunder Axe Fortress. The ruins are inhabited only by the wild creatures of Desolace. The night elven settlement that was here was presumably destroyed by the Great Sundering.

Thalanaar

Thalanaar is a tiny Alliance night elf camp on the border of Feralas and the Thousand Needles. The outpost has very little to offer in the way of goods and services, although it is the location for the Tribal Leatherworking trainer Caryssia Moonhunter and has a flight path that could be reached from Feathermoon Stronghold, Theramore Isle, and Gadgetzan.

Thalassian Base Camp

The Thalassian Base Camp is located in northern Azshara, south of the Legash Encampment and east of Ursolan. Its leader, Magus Rimtori, recently made and reneged on a deal with the Horde to offer a share of the findings in exchange for funding and protection of the expedition. Because of this betrayal, Horde adventurers are being recruited to exact vengeance upon Magus Rimtori and her followers. Once the orcs had served her purpose, she betrayed the Horde and slaughtered the entire orcish guard. Positioning her entire escort at the Thalassian Base Camp under Magister Hawkhelm's supervision, Rimtori set off to explore Azshara with her bodyguards.

The Agamand Family Crypt

The Agamand Family Crypt is located just north of Agamand Mills in northern Tirisfal Glades. Captain Dargol, a minion of the Scourge, has settled here and awakened all the corpses and spirits of the Agamands' dead ancestors. It is a dark and dusty place, and the vengeful undead attack anyone who enter unbidden.

The Altar of Zul

Altar of Zul is a Vilebranch forest troll altar in the Hinterlands. It contains the mysterious Sacred Mallet, dropped from Qiaga the Keeper, a forest troll atop the Altar of Zul in the Hinterlands. She's a high priestess of the spider loa Shadra. The Sacred Mallet can be changed in Jintha'Alor to create the Mallet of Zul'Farrak. Morta'gya the Keeper, another forest troll, can also be found here.

The Azurelode Mine

The Azurelode Mine is an Alliance-controlled mine in southwestern Hillsbrad Foothills, south of Hillsbrad Fields and west of Southshore. Guards stationed outside the mine protect the miners and foremen inside. Foreman Bonds oversees the miners' work.

The Badlands Crypts

The Badlands Crypt is located southeast of Hammertoe's Digsite, at the top of the hill behind Sigrun Ironhew. Entrance to it is via a natural and unmarked path up the hill. The bottom of the Crypt contains a number of urns, chests, and skeletons, with the centerpiece being an armored skeleton seated on a throne with the Sword of the Barbarian King next to it.

The Bael'dun Digsite

The Bael'dun Digsite is an excavation site of the dwarven expedition based at Bael Modan. It is a large quarry dug into the mountainside in the western edge of Mulgore. This incursion was against the warnings of Baine Bloodhoof, who saw the excavations as an affront to the Earth Mother, and as diplomatic solutions failed, the Bloodhoof tribe are resolved to drive the invaders out by taking and breaking their pickaxes. The Explorers' Guild has set up an excavation site here of 200 inhabitants. It is a strong supply line runs from Bael'dun to Bael Modan in the Barrens.

The Bones of Grakkarond

The Bones of Grakkarond lie in central Silithus. They are the huge bones of the bronze dragon Grakkarond, who was slain by Ossirian the Unscarred during the War of the Shifting Sands. The Bones of Grakkarond are considered sacred by the Anubisath.

The Bough of the Eternals

The Bough of the Eternals, also known as the Boughs of Eternity, stands as a majestic and enigmatic tree at the heart of the Temple Gardens in Darnassus. Towering and ancient, its form is sculpted to resemble a great bear, from whose back rises the elegant shape of a bird in flight—symbols revered in kaldorei culture. At the base of this living monument, nestled between the bear’s forelegs, lies the city’s bank, overseen by the stewards Idriana, Lairn, and Garryeth. Many among the Darnassian people entrust their valuables to this place, believing the Bough's presence lends a sense of sacred protection. Much like the revered tree of Oracle Glade, the Bough of the Eternals is shrouded in mystery. Whispers among scholars and sentinels alike suggest it may not be the work of night elven hands, but something far older.

The Brill Town Hall

The Brill Town Hall is the most prominent structure in the town of Brill in central Tirisfal Glades. Magistrate Sevren leads the town from his podium, issuing orders and tasks to willing Forsaken subjects. The town hall is also notable because it is the only town hall in the realms known to be run by the Undead. The town hall in Corin's Crossing far to the east of Brill is also controled by the Undead, but not the Forsaken.

The Broken Pillar

The Broken Pillar is a small group of troll ruins in an area south of Gadgetzan and east of the Abyssal Sands. It is here that Marvon Rivetseeker, a goblin scientist from Ratchet, has set up camp in search of answers. Marvon's work on the pillar later became a subject of studies for archaeologists. Broken Pillar is a troll archaeology dig site.

The Bulwark

The Bulwark is the Forsaken's last bastion of defense against the main forces of the Scourge. It lies in southeastern Tirisfal Glades, and forms the border with the Western Plaguelands beyond. The Argent Dawn and Forsaken defenders on the Bulwark have teamed up to protect the land from the hordes of undead to the east, and send experienced adventurers of the Horde to battle the minions of the Lich King. Unlike the rest of Tirisfal Glades, this area is filled with plaguemist and the sky is tinted the same yellowish-gray color as in the Western Plaguelands.

The Burning Blade Coven

The Burning Blade Coven lies within the dusty red mountains that form the northern border of the Valley of Trials. The valley, which serves as a proving ground for aspiring orcs and trolls, is no longer as safe as it used to be. Imps and other weak demons have spilled out from the mouth of the cave and are causing mischief. Some say that there is more than mischief on the minds of stronger demons that inhabit the cave, and that there may be members of the Burning Blade within the abandoned caverns. New adventurers often tackle the dangers of the Coven as their final test before leaving the Valley of Trials. The Burning Blade Coven is led by a warlock called Yarrog Baneshadow. He has become dangerous because he possesses a powerful artifact known as the Burning Blade Medallion.

The Champions' Hall

The Champion's Hall serves as the Alliance officer’s barracks in Stormwind. Reserved for those who have proven their valor, only members ranked Knight or higher may cross its threshold. Within its stone walls, seasoned quartermasters stand ready to equip the Alliance’s finest with specialized gear: – Captain Dirgehammer offers elite armor to those worthy of its weight. – Master Sergeant Biggins provides distinguished accessories for trusted officers. – Captain O’Neal arms champions with finely forged weapons fit for battle. This hall is a symbol of honor, earned through loyalty and bloodshed on the field.

The Cleft

The Cleft lies northeast of Ban'ethil Hollow and northwest of Dolanaar in Teldrassil. This mysterious cave has a hidden yet clear-cut path leading up to it; for now, it remains devoid of life or signs of its significance.

The Cliffspring Falls

The Cliffspring Falls are the origin of the Cliffspring River in Darkshore, serving as the principal source of drinking water for the region. Once a pure waterfall, the cave that is the source of the falls has become corrupted, like much of the surrounding area. Some believe the corruption is seeping from nearby Felwood while others believe that members of the Twilight's Hammer cult are responsible. Members of the cult have been found deep within the caves at the waterfall's source. The cave is also crawling with naga.

The Command Center

The Alliance Command Center is the base of operations for Stormwind's army officers and warrior trainers. Although it normally houses a large number of soldiers and commanders, most of the city's army has been sent away to distant battlefields, and the Command Center keeps only a skeleton crew of hardened veterans to train the city's militia. The three famous trainers are Ander Germaine, Wu Shen and Ilsa Corbin, with Ander having the responsibility of being the leader in charge, and Ilsa being in command of mission assignments.

The Creeping Ruin

The Creeping Ruin is a forest troll ruin overrun by hostile slimes.

The Dark Portal

Forged through the dark alliance of Medivh—corrupted by Sargeras—and Gul'dan’s Shadow Council, the Dark Portal tore open the veil between Azeroth and Draenor. Through its massive arch, the first orcish legions stormed into the Eastern Kingdoms, igniting the First War. Though shattered at the end of the Second War by Archmage Khadgar, its rift endured—a wound in reality, guarded by Nethergarde Keep. Years later, Ner’zhul reopened the portal to seek dominion beyond Draenor, unwittingly dooming his world. The explosion birthed Outland, and remnants of the Alliance stayed behind to contain the threat. The portal lay dormant until the demon lord Kazzak reignited it, unleashing a new tide of chaos. Now ringed by encampments of both Horde and Alliance, the green-lit gateway to Outland once more pulses with energy, a reminder of Azeroth’s fragile boundary with the Burning Legion’s reach.

The Dawning Wood Catacombs

Hidden beneath Raven Hill Cemetery in the heart of Duskwood, the Dawning Woods Catacombs are a sprawling, shadow-choked labyrinth teeming with the region’s most fearsome undead. These ancient crypts draw brave Alliance adventurers seeking glory—or a grim fate. The catacombs are best explored in groups; lone wanderers risk being consumed by the relentless swarms in the darkness. Two entrances offer passage: the eastern path descends into a festering ghoul warren, where disease and madness reign, while the western tunnel opens into a solemn hall of vigilant skeletons, still guarding the tombs they once called home.

The Dead Acre

The Dead Acre was once one of many farms in Westfall but when the Defias Brotherhood began taking control of Westfall, they burned the farm that had once stood there, as well as the fields. Now, only the smoking ruins remain. The Dead Acre is in southeast Westfall, close to the bridge leading into Duskwood. The mechanical Harvest Watchers that roam the smoldering fields of the Dead Acre are the strongest in Westfall, so exercise caution when venturing close.

The Dead Field

The Dead Field is the name of a decrepit and abandoned farm in northern Silverpine Forest. The nature and number of the farm's former inhabitants are unknown. Recently, the Dead Field has become a base for the Rot Hide gnolls, servants of the Scourge. It is unknown what the Scourge plans are for the farm, but the increasing number of gnolls suggests imminent military action. A reconnaissance mission undertaken by the Deathstalkers passed through the field on their mission through northern Silverpine, noting the presence of the Scourge at the farm. Repeated small assaults by the Forsaken upon the Dead Field have been unsuccessful because of the arrival of a banshee known as Nightlash. The banshee appears when the Rot Hides under her command are attacked.

The Decrepit Ferry

The Decrepit Ferry used to be the location of a bustling ferry service that transported goods and people to and from Fenris Isle. The nearby farmsteads all sold part of their crops to the island's rich lord and his family, and the ferryman was paid a small fee for each trip. Then the Scourge invaded Lordaeron. The ferryman was brutally murdered, the ferry was destroyed, and ghouls, skeletal warriors, and Rot Hide gnolls invaded the docks. It is now a hazardous place to venture for inexperienced travelers.

The Deep Elem Mine

The Deep Elem Mine was once a bountiful source of silver ore, worked by Silverpine's most hardy young men to provide Gilneas, Dalaran, and Lordaeron with the materials needed to make money and jewelry. The farmers saw their share of the income, and the mine would probably have grown even deeper if the worgen had not arrived. The wolfmen who now permeate most of the dreadful woods tore through the working men and supervisors with impunity, and feasted on their flesh afterwards. Led by the cunning Grimson the Pale, the worgen made the mine their home, and ferociously attack anyone who wanders too close.

The Den

The Den is the base of operations in the Valley of Trials, and is the starting camp for young orc adventurers. It is in the small southwest corner of Durotar. This is where nearly all the Valley of Trials quests are obtained. It contains basic class trainers and vendors, but no profession trainers. Inside the cave are several cages, used for holding hostile Captured Northwatch Scouts.

The Den of Flame

The Den of Flame is an area in Dustwallow Marsh, just west of the Stonemaul Ruins that has been completely overrun by dragonkin of the black dragonflight, presumably under the orders of the great black dragon Onyxia, who resides nearby. The structure was built by the Stonemaul ogres to be their ogre mound, as the architecture in the area corroborates, and as such it still contains a Stonemaul Banner.

The Dor'Danil Barrow Den

The Dor'Danil Barrow Den is located in Ashenvale, south of Splintertree Post, and southwest of Felfire Hill. Although it has traditionally been the site of rest for night elven druids, the incursion of the Horde put the barrow den behind enemy lines. Although the orcs had little interest in a bunch of sleeping elves, the Forsaken who later joined the faction were not so disinterested. Experimenting with severing the sleeping druids from their spirits, they drove the night elves insane. The barrow den is now filled with skulking Forsaken assassins, the enraged souls of the severed druids, and three particularly powerful spirits — those of Uthil Mooncall (night elf druid ghost), Mavoris Cloudsbreak (night elf druid ghost), and Taneel Darkwood (night elf druid ghost).

The Eastmoon Ruins

The Eastmoon Ruins is an area of ancient troll ruins found just west of the Gaping Chasm in Tanaris. It has been taken over by the by the Dunemaul ogres and is a troll archaeology dig site.

The Fargodeep Mine

The Fargodeep Mine, nestled in Elwynn Forest, is a once-thriving gold mine now overrun by kobolds. Its lower section, known as Lower Mines, offers both danger and opportunity for adventurers. Typically tackled by fresh adventurers, the mine’s quests guide you through the dark, damp tunnels, culminating in a confrontation with Goldtooth, a massive kobold. Along the way, adventurers will gather precious raw materials, large candles, and gold dust, often filling their bags with loot. The mine is also home to Narg the Taskmaster, a rare and powerful kobold.

The Farstrider Lodge

The Farstrider Lodge is a hunters' outpost nestled in the eastern hills of Loch Modan. Built in elegant high elven style, it now shelters mostly humans and dwarves, with only one high elf still in residence. The lodge offers services for adventurers, including merchants, quest givers, a hunter trainer, and a pet trainer. The enclave is managed by Marek Ironheart, a seasoned dwarf from Ironforge. The lone elf, Vyrin Swiftwind, is a member of the Farstriders—elite high elf rangers dedicated to protecting Quel'Thalas, even far from its borders.

The Flying Osprey

The Lost Fleet, also known as the Kul Tiras Third Fleet, was led by Derek Proudmoore during the Second War. It was destroyed by red dragons controlled by the Dragonmaw clan and sank in Baradin Bay. The ships included the Wave Mistress, Intrepid, and Flying Osprey—the latter sank near Menethil Harbor. Only First Mate Fitzsimmons of the Wave Mistress survived. The fleet's crew is cursed with undeath due to a forbidden artifact—the Cursed Eye of Paleth—hidden aboard the Intrepid by its captain, Halyndor. The curse transforms seekers into illusionary undead and weakens their spirits. Only the ghost of First Mate Snellig retains his sanity.

The Forlorn Rowe

The Forlorn Rowe is located in northwestern Duskwood, on the northern edge of Raven Hill Cemetery. It is a hill cloaked in an ominous darkness, upon which the home of Morbent Fel rests. The powerful necromancer is guarded by his undead minions as well as a magical barrier that dampened attacks on his person. He rules the forest's undead creatures through evil arcane magic, and only a special weapon can stop him.

The Garrison Armory

The Garrison Armory is a vital Alliance mining outpost near the Nethergarde Keep in the Blasted Lands. Here Alliance miners toil to gather precious resources and minerals for the Nethergarde Keep. These resources are frequently shipped to Stormwind in exchange for the other vital resources Nethergarde Keep depends upon to survive.

The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj

The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj is an area located right after the Scarab Wall, in southwestern Silithus, allowing access to the instances of the Temple and Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj.

The Gates of Ironforge

The Gates of Ironforge (or the Ironforge Main Gate) lead from the cold lands of Dun Morogh into the city of Ironforge proper. They are a grand sight, and are visible from far across the land. Modimus Anvilmar was the last High King of the united dwarves of Ironforge prior to the War of the Three Hammers. An immense statue of Modimus stands guard at the Gates of Ironforge. To get to the Gates of Ironforge, you can head southwest from the Commons or north up the great ramp in central Dun Morogh.

The Gilded Rose

The Gilded Rose sits at the heart of Stormwind’s bustling Trade District, a favored haven for weary travelers and seasoned adventurers alike. Its prime location—just steps from the bank, Auction House, and the city's busiest mailbox—makes it an ideal stop to rest, resupply, and reconnect. A worn wooden sign bearing its elegant name swings above the door, welcoming all who pass. Inside, the warm glow of lanternlight and the aroma of fresh bread greet guests. Innkeeper Allison, ever courteous, tends to patrons with hearty meals, refreshing drinks, and offers a Hearthstone bind for those seeking a home away from home.

The Grand Vestibule

The Grand Vestibule is the outermost chamber of the Scarlet Monastery. It holds the entrances to both the Scarlet Halls and Scarlet Monastery instances. The vestibule itself is decorated with pillars and statues of scarlet warriors. It is often a contested place, as Horde and Alliance-affiliated adventurers mingle in the hall; with sometimes brutal results.

The Great Lift

The Great Lift is a tauren built elevator that allows travel between the Barrens and Thousand Needles with Thousand Needles being the base and the Barrens being the top of the lift. The lift is guarded by two taurens Grish Longrunner and Brave Moonhorn.

The Greymane Wall

The Greymane Wall was built before the Third War by King Genn Greymane, as Gilneas withdrew from the Alliance over disputes regarding orc internment camp funding. Located between Silverpine Forest and the Gilnean peninsula, the wall symbolized Gilneas’ isolation. Though it protected the kingdom from the Scourge, it also sealed off refugees, who perished outside its gates. The wall worsened internal tensions, leading to the Northgate Rebellion, led by Lord Darius Crowley. After its suppression, Gilneas faced the worgen curse, spread after Greymane ordered Arugal to summon the beasts against the undead. Though initially effective, the worgen turned on Gilneans. The curse slowly infected the population. Crowley defied Greymane by aiding Jaina during the Third War. Years later, refugees fleeing Lordaeron were denied entry and many died outside the wall, some at the hands of Forsaken or worgen from Shadowfang Keep.

The Grizzled Den

The Grizzled Den is a rather large cave system just southwest of Kharanos in Dun Morogh, where young adventurers can test their mettle against the ferocious wendigos which live there. Many enter in search of wendigo manes, which are popular for use in seat covers, but it is a risky proposition as the monsters breathe frost spells and flock together to drive the assailants out. Some special finds in the cave system are copper veins and treasure chests. Also, there is a rare wendigo in the back that is a bit tougher than its counterparts. This is also a great place for unexperienced adventurer to party up with another and explore the cave.

The Grosh'kog Compound

The Grosh'gok Compound is an ogre mound located in the Vice inhabited by the Deadwind ogres. It is the southernmost and largest of the multiple caves in the Vice.

The Grove of the Ancients

The grove lies in the southeastern part of Darkshore, nestled near the mountains, and is built around the surging Wildbend River.

The Gurubashi Arena

The Gurubashi Arena, located in Stranglethorn Vale near Booty Bay, is a remnant of the once-powerful Gurubashi Empire. It serves as a battleground for those seeking fame, treasure, and competition. Historically, brutal fights to the death stained its sands with troll blood. Now overseen by Short John Mithril, matches are less deadly. He is a goblin pirate captain and arena master who initiates chest battles at the Gurubashi Arena every three hours. Legends speak of a blood-red amulet that, if found at midnight, summons a soul-devouring demon by dawn. Once each generation, elite trolls from across Azeroth gather here for a sacred combat rite under the eye of Zandalari king Rastakhan. They fight for the honor of the loa, and victory in the arena is among the highest achievements a troll can attain.

The Haldarr Encampment

The Howling Vale

The Howling Vale is a cavern nestled in north-central Ashenvale, just southwest of Felwood's border. This mystical vale houses the Shrine of Mel'Thandris, adorned with an ancient inscription that venerates Elune. The shrine bears the Darnassian phrase, "The truth is a guiding light." Constructed by Velinde Starsong's mother, Mel'Thandris's niece, the shrine holds great historical significance. Mel'Thandris was entrusted with the Scythe of Elune after it was used to imprison the Druids of the Scythe. Following Mel'Thandris's demise in the final battle of the War of the Satyr, the scythe was safeguarded within this sacred site.

The Ivar Patch

The Ivar Patch is a pumpkin patch in northern Silverpine Forest. This was once a prosperous and pleasant farm, and Ivar employed many farmhands and servants. That was only until the Scourge ravaged the lands of Lordaeron, however. Ivar and his family and farmhands succumbed to the Plague of Undeath becoming terrible rotting ghouls that terrorized any who come near. Three agents of the Forsaken, Rane Yorick, Quinn Yorick, and Erland McKree have been tasked with a reconnaissance mission in northern Silverpine. They have been ordered to determine the threat levels of wildlife and the Scourge in the region.

The Jansen Stead

The Jansen Stead is the northernmost farm in Westfall, and is located near the bridge to Elwynn Forest. Like most of the farms in Westfall, the owners have been driven off by the Defias Brotherhood. Now, Defias mechanical Harvest Watchers and agents of the Brotherhood control the farm. Nearby, you can find Farmer Furlbrow and his wife who have fled their own farm, Furlbrow's Pumpkin Patch. They give most adventurers their first quests in Westfall.

The Kodo Graveyard

The Kodo Graveyard is a large gaveyard that is final resting place of the Kodo, location in Desolace. Mighty as the reptilian kodo beasts are, they are not immortal. Those that feel the approach of death make their way through the Thousand Needles to the plains in eastern Desolace, where they eventually perish. No one knows why the kodo beasts come to this particular place, but it is a habit long maintained. The area is filled with bones as well as the sick and the dying. It is far from peaceful, however, as everything from scavenging raptors to mighty lions come to feast upon the aged kodo beasts.

The Legash Encampment

The Legash Encampment is located in northern Azshara, east of Ursolan and north of the Thalassian Base Camp. It is occupied by Legashi satyr.

The Lost Fleet

The Lost Fleet, also known as the Kul Tiras Third Fleet, was led by Derek Proudmoore during the Second War. It was destroyed by red dragons controlled by the Dragonmaw clan and sank in Baradin Bay. The ships included the Wave Mistress, Intrepid, and Flying Osprey—the latter sank near Menethil Harbor. Only First Mate Fitzsimmons of the Wave Mistress survived. The fleet's crew is cursed with undeath due to a forbidden artifact—the Cursed Eye of Paleth—hidden aboard the Intrepid by its captain, Halyndor. The curse transforms seekers into illusionary undead and weakens their spirits. Only the ghost of First Mate Snellig retains his sanity.

The Maclure Vineyards

The Maclure Vineyards, located in southern Elwynn Forest, belong to the Maclure Family. The Maclures are in a bitter rivalry with the nearby Stonefield Family, but despite their intense dislike of each other, a child from both families has fallen in love with each other in true Romeo and Juliet fashion. There is hope their love can bring the two families together. A dozen boars roam the vineyards alone.

The Maker's Terrace

The Maker's Terrace is a large excavation site located just outside the entrance to Uldaman in the Badlands. For most adventurers first venturing into the Badlands from Loch Modan, it will be the first place they travel past. The Terrace is patrolled by Dark Iron dwarves.

The Marris Stead

The Marris Stead lies atop a ridge in southwestern Eastern Plaguelands, near the main road and west of Crown Guard Tower. Once the home of Nathanos Marris and his family, it was visited by his cousin Stephon and, at times, Sylvanas Windrunner. During the Third War, the Scourge swept through Lordaeron. Despite his prowess, Nathanos was slain at his home by Ramstein the Gorger and raised as a mindless servant of the Lich King. Later, Sylvanas broke his chains and welcomed him into the Forsaken. By her command, Nathanos returned to his stead with his blighthounds, using it as a base to rally Horde champions against the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade. He also gathered artifacts from the battle of Darrowshire for unknown reasons. His presence drew SI:7’s attention. Mathias Shaw dispatched agents to investigate, but only one returned—rambling about “Nathanos” and “Blightcaller.” The Alliance now seeks adventurers to uncover the truth.

The Master's Cellar

The Master's Cellar lies hidden in the southernmost reaches of Deadwind Pass, beneath the crumbling remnants of a forgotten village—once home to the servants of Karazhan’s towering spire. Time has not been kind to these ruins, and neither has death. Two entrances grant access to this forsaken place. The first opens into a sprawling wine cellar, its ancient casks now watched over by spectral custodians—Unliving Residents, Wailing Spectres, and Damned Souls that drift in silence. The second path descends through a fractured floor into a shadowed cavern system winding deep beneath the earth, equally haunted by the restless dead. Though no known spirits of fame dwell here, the sheer number of phantoms suggests that something dark still festers in the depths below.

The Master's Glaive

The Master's Glaive is a mysterious monument, a massive adamantine glaive buried in an unmovable boulder called the Old God Skull. The night elves consider this a sacred area, as they believe the mysterious titans, creators of the world, are the only ones who could have wielded the gigantic glaive. It appears as a snail shell-like skull, with a massive weapon embedded in the crown. It is believed that a titan killed one of the Old Gods or one of their minions here. This unusual monument is surrounded by a small lake. While it was once a night elf holy place, the area is now under the control of the Twilight's Hammer. They believe the statue is some sort of divine corpse — the remains of an Old God. The term "Master's Glaive" refers to part of the monument — the sword embedded in the skull. The being is also described as a "dead" forgotten one in Ashenvale at the Master's Glaive.

The Mirage Raceway

The Mirage Raceway (or Mirage Racetrack) was built by the goblin Pozzik and gnome Fizzle Brassbolts as a result of their rivalry to prove the superiority of their respective race. The two also built rocket cars and enlisted teams to drive them. It is a race track, deep within the dry lake bed known as the Shimmering Flats. After the end of the Third War, both the goblins and gnomes decided that the large alkali desert known as the Shimmering Flats near Thousand Needles would be a perfect place to test their new rocket designs. Goblin and gnome tinkers labored constantly to perfect the ultimate racing machines. At regular intervals, they participated in trials of their creations, and twice monthly the Mirage Raceway hosted a series of events to determine which side was the best. While no prizes were officially awarded, being "the best" was usually enough. Besides, there was plenty of betting going on behind the scenes to make a shrewd gambler a tidy fortune.

The Mizjah Ruins

The Mizjah Ruins are an area southeast of Grom'gol Base Camp inhabited by Mosh'Ogg Brutes and Mosh'Ogg Witch Doctors. These ogres are responsible for ambushing supply caravans going to Stonard.

The Monument to Grom Hellscream

The Monument to Grom Hellscream is located in Demon Fall Canyon of Ashenvale. It reads : "Here lies Grommash Hellscream, Chieftain of the Warsong Clan. In many ways, the curse of our people began and ended with Grom. His name meant 'giant's heart' in our ancient tongue. He earned that name a hundred-fold as he stood alone before the demon Mannoroth - and won our freedom with his blood. Lok'Tar ogar, big brother. May the Warsong never fade. -Thrall, Warchief of the Horde"

The Mor'shan Rempart

The Mor'shan Rampart lies at the northern terminus of the Gold Road in Northern Barrens. This makeshift defensive post was built to withstand the push of Alliance forces into the region from Ashenvale to the north. The rampart and its watch towers still serve as a makeshift launching point for raids on the night elven town of Astranaar. The orcs there are all either members of the Warsong Outriders or members of the Warsong Offensive.

The Mosh'Ogg Ogre Mound

The Mosh'Ogg Ogre Mound is an ogre mound inhabited by the Mosh'Ogg tribe of ogres located in Northern Stranglethorn, just south of Zul'Gurub. Deep inside the mound, their leader, the ogre mage Mai'Zoth holds a powerful relic called the Mind's Eye. Long before the ogres came to inhabit the cave, this was a place of worship containing the shrine to the loa Lukou, however after the Darkspear tribe left Stranglethorn Valley they mostly abandoned the worship of Lukou.

The Nek'mani Wellspring

The Nek'mani Wellspring is a sacred spring located high in the cliffs overlooking the Southern Savage Coast on the west side of the Cape of Stranglethorn. Its Holy Spring dispenses the only clean freshwater south of Duskwood.

The Northshire Vineyards

The Northshire Vineyards are located just northeast of Northshire Abbey in Elwynn Forest. The vineyards have been taken over by agents of the Defias Brotherhood and their leader, Garrick Padfoot. It is here that human players have their first encounter with the Brotherhood, fighting their minions and retrieving the stolen property of Milly Osworth.

The Oasis Inn

The Oasis Inn is the inn of Cenarion Hold, owned by Calandrath, afemale night elf innkeeper. She is originally from Auberdine. She grew up around leatherworking, which was likely her father's trade. Once, a courier delivered her a message for Barnabas Grell a Forsaken warrior who was hunting for the scorpid Deathclasp. He managed to kill her and return her pincer to Cenarion Hold for the reward. Upon his return, Calandrath gave him the message informing gim that his niece Jillian was murdered by the Scarlet Crusade at her farm.

The Oracle Glade

The Oracle Glade is a shrine in the northwestern area of Teldrassil. One of the sacred moonwells lies there, as well as the magical Oracle Tree. The tree has a wide trunk and boughs shaped like a great eagle perched atop a mighty bear. Many whisper that it was grown by nature magic. The Oracle Glade is the place where Malfurion Stormrage meditates. The Bloodfeather harpies have recently moved into the Glade, and a foul blight has corrupted the matron of the Teldrassil spiders, Lady Sathrah, who can sometimes be found in the far corners of the glade.

The Pools of Arlithrien

The Pools of Arlithrien is a collection of small pools in western Teldrassil, located south of the entrance to Darnassus. While once a peaceful area, the pools are now home to hostile wildlife. There is a lone moonwell in this area, abandoned by the night elves due to the threat of Gnarlpine furbolgs.

The Ravaged Caravan

The Ravaged Caravan is a ruined Venture Company camp on the northeastern shore of Stonebull Lake. The caravan is what's left of a conflict between the tauren and the Venture Co. after the tauren saw them traveling throughout Mulgore. The caravan's initial goal was to deliver more supplies to Supervisor Fizsprocket's mining endeavor. It now sits on a mound, spewing out black smoke. The remaining company aggressively defends the smoldering remains of their precious cargo.

The Ravaged Twilight Camp

The Ravaged Twilight Camp is located in the Crystal Vale in northwestern Silithus. It is the current home of Highlord Demitrian. A camp of Twilight's Hammer cultists once thrived here. The area is now swarming with elementals and nothing but scattered pieces of wood and canvas to mark the spot where the camp was.

The Ravencrest Monument

The Ravencrest Monument marks the remains of a huge statue in Azshara, referred to by Torg Twocrush as an "ancient night elven colossus". Located southeast of the Ruins of Eldarath, what is left of the time-worn statue rests atop cliffs on the tip of Azshara's southern point, overlooking the Great Sea. Undoubtedly an impressive site long ago, the statue now lies in ruins. Only the broken-off legs still stand, with various other parts scattered on the ground around them. Presumably, the rest has become buried, or sunk beneath the waves of the sea below. The ruins are inhabited by the hostile Spitelash tribe of naga. The Ravencrest Monument cannot be accessed by sea. Travelers seeking to visit the site must approach it from inland and cross a bridge.

The Rebel Camp

The Rebel Camp is a camp of former men of Colonel Kurzen, who managed to escape the madness that befell Colonel Kurzen and most of his followers. The camp is situated in the northernmost part of Northern Stranglethorn Vale, just west of the road leading south from Duskwood and northwest of Kurzen's Compound. The soldiers here have their task set: To overthrow their former master, Kurzen.

The Rotting Orchard

The Rotten Orchard, once Duskwood’s largest and most bountiful farm, lies in ruins southwest of Darkshire. Once famed across Azeroth for its rich harvests of apples, pears, and peaches, the orchard now stands forsaken—its trees withering, its fruit left to rot beneath twisted branches. Located between Yorgen Farmstead and Tranquil Gardens Cemetery, this once-thriving land has fallen into shadow. Now overrun by feral worgen, the orchard has become a place of danger and decay. Gutspill and the dark sorcerer Nefaru command the beasts from the depths of nearby Roland’s Doom, spreading corruption through the heart of the land.

The Ruins of Aboraz

The Ruins of Aboraz is a collection of ancient troll ruins on the southeastern coast of Stranglethorn Vale, now the home of the witch doctor Zanzil the Outcast. Zanzil's ghoul, naga, and troll minions wander the ruins, and the captured Darkspear troll Yenniku is also here as a thrall of Zanzil. Zanzil the Outcast is a Skullsplitter troll who was exiled for poisoning other trolls and later banished from Zul'Gurub due to his use of mind-altering drugs. He uses his potent mixtures to control many creatures in the Ruins of Aboraz, including naga and key figures like Yenniku. By capturing and controlling Yenniku, Zanzil tried to force the Skullsplitter tribe to join him. The bewitched debtor to "Sea Wolf" MacKinley, Chucky "Ten Thumbs", also roams the ruins as a ghoul. It is located southeast of Ruins of Jubuwal, east of Spirit Den, and south of Crystalvein Mine.

The Ruins of Constellas

The Ruins of Constellas is an area of Felwood. Xavathras, and his group of Jadefire satyr, inhabit the area. Judging by the remnants of the architecture, and the existence of a moonwell, it used to be one of the many night elven settlements near Mount Hyjal. The moonwell has since become corrupted with Fel energy, and is being cultivated by Xavathras on behalf of Xavaric. Druidic Emerald Bearkin are attacking the demons of the Ruins. A camp rests to the southeast where Eridan Bluewind and Arcanist Delaris await with quests. Further into the heart of the Ruins the path leading to Xavathras is blocked by a wall of fire.

The Ruins of Kel'Theril

The Ruins of Kel’Theril mark the remains of a once-great night elven city, shattered during the Great Sundering. Nestled along the shores of Lake Kel’Theril in central Winterspring, the ruins are now a frozen grave, haunted by the restless spirits of the Highborne who perished in the cataclysm. What was once a proud city was reduced to a lake, which later froze over. Today, jagged spires and broken columns still pierce the icy surface, while much of the city lies submerged and sealed in frost. Kel’Theril now serves as a chilling reminder of ancient hubris, its spectral echoes lingering in the cold silence of Winterspring.

The Ruins of Mathystra

The Ruins of Mathystra are located in northern Darkshore, just past the Tower of Althalaxx. Mathystra used to be a night elven city before the Great Sundering, but it was utterly decimated by the destruction of the Well of Eternity, and has long since been abandoned by the night elves in favor of the smaller coastal villages further south. The ruins contain scattered relics of the old Highborne, and young night elves sometimes attempt to search through Mathystra in search of these relics. Ghost Sabers can also be found here. The ancient ruins are inhabited by the Stormscale Naga, who aggressively guard against any intrusions from outside sources.

The Ruins of Ordil'Aran

The Ruins of Ordil'Aran are located in northwestern Ashenvale, north of Maestra's Post and south of Bathran's Haunt. Although not much remains of the ancient city that once stood here, the site is a favorite spot for the Cult of the Dark Strand, who inhabit what is left of the ruins, ready to strike at any who approach. There is a notable presence of high elves among these evil warlocks. The Ruins of Ordil'Aran are also the site of the Heartswood tree.

The Ruins of Ravenwind

The Ruins of Ravenwind are the remains of an ancient Kaldorei civilization in northern Feralas, specifically the Highborne (much like Dire Maul). It is currently overrun with Northspring harpies. Shay Leafrunner, a rather absent-minded young night elf girl, can be found here waiting to be escorted back to her guardian friend, Rockbiter, a mountain giant to the south of the ruins. A ways north of the ruins, adventurers can run into Miblon Snarltooth, a hungry Gnoll that zealously guards a small nursery of Evoroot. He has a taste for meat. There are also a group of Jaedemir dragons near the ruins, who are bent on protecting the large tree located at the center.

The Ruins of Solarsal

The Ruins of Solarsal are some night elven ruins southwest of the destroyed Feathermoon Stronghold in Sardor Isle. Hatecrest naga inhabit the grounds.

The Ruins of Stardust

The Ruins of Stardust are located in southwestern Ashenvale, south of Astranaar and west of the Talondeep Path. The ruins are situated on a lake island, and several large bog beasts roam the ruins, corrupted by the lake's tainted waters. Much like Iris Lake, the ruins have been exposed to the demonic rot from Felwood, and the area is tinted a sickly yellowish green color. The most notable exception is the stardust shrubs scattered about the area. They are unmarred by the taint, and are known to contain powerful healing properties if imbibed. The ruins were originally considered a holy place.

The Ruins of Thaurissan

The Ruins of Thaurissan are what remains of the Dark Iron clan's original capital city. Little is known of the great city, but Royal Historian Archesonus of Ironforge has led research into its ruins found in the Burning Steppes, to reveal some information about the place. It was referred to as the home of the Dark Iron nation and later kingdom. Around 200 years before the Dark Portal opened, the Dark Iron dwarves, exiled from Ironforge, founded Thaurissan in the Redridge Mountains. In a failed bid to win a civil war, they summoned Ragnaros, who destroyed the land, enslaved the dwarves, and reshaped their fate beneath Blackrock Mountain.

The Rustmaul Dig Site

The Rustmaul Dig Site is an abandoned dwarven digsite in the Shimmering Flats. The Explorers' League was in the process of uncovering some ruins when a war party led by Moktar Krin attacked them, killing them all. The battle apparently stirred up a nest of silithid creatures from a cave in the dig site. The continuous swarm of insects that erupted drove the already weakened war party off. The surviving members of the Horde war party can be found at Ironstone Camp, while some did manage to make it to Orgrimmar.

The Salty Sailor Tavern

The Scarab Dais

The Scarab Dais is where the Scarab Gong is located, just northwest of the Scarab Wall outside of Ahn'Qiraj, in southern Silithus.

The Scarab Wall

The Scarab Wall is a massive, slippery barrier bisecting Silithus. Standing a hundred feet high, this impassible obstruction stretches between the mountains from west to east. The lands beyond, which can only be seen by climbing a high cliff some distance away, appear much the same as the rest of Silithus—dry, windswept desert. The elves called the area beyond the Scarab Wall, Ahn'Qiraj. They advised to steer clear of it although it seems there is no way to breach or climb the wall, at least without the use of magic.

The Scarlet Base Camp

The Scarlet Base Camp is a small barricaded fortification located on the east banks of Lake Mereldar, not far from the religious bastion of Tyr's Hand.

The Scarlet Basilica

The Scarlet Basilica is a large cathedral located inside Tyr's Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands.

The Scarlet Watch Post

The Scarlet Watch Post is a scout tower located in northeastern Tirisfal Glades, just north of the Scarlet Monastery. Its maintenance despite its remote location is solely to prevent enemies of the Scarlet Crusade from assaulting the monastery from its less defensible north side. It's one of the four Crusader's Outpost towers in Tirisfal Glades. This particular tower is commanded by Captain Melrache.

The Scarlet Watchtower

The Scarlet Watchtower is a ruined scout tower located in southern Tirisfal Glades near the entrance to the Sewers of the Undercity. It is under the control of the Scarlet Crusade, who use it to keep a watchful eye on flight routes coming to and from the Forsaken capital. It is one of four Crusader's Outpost towers in the Tirisfal Glades. This particular tower is commanded by Captain Perrine.

The Sepulcher

The Sepulcher, also known as the Silverpine Sepulcher, is a Forsaken stronghold in northwestern Silverpine Forest, nestled within the Silverpine Hills above the Lordaeronian coastline. Originally just a graveyard by the roadside, the area featured a large crypt and surrounding tombs, with scattered caravans and travelers passing through. After the Third War, the Forsaken transformed this former burial site into a fortified base of operations. The ruins of nearby buildings and the eerie atmosphere remain, but now the location serves as a key point of safety and organization for the Forsaken. Surrounded by threats—the worgen to the south, the Scourge to the east, and the Kirin Tor to the southeast—the Sepulcher stands as one of the few secure places for Horde adventurers traversing the region.

The Shrine of Aessina

The Shrine of Aessina is located in southwestern Ashenvale, southwest of Maestra's Post, south of House of Edune, and west of Astranaar. Built ages ago by the night elves, this ancient shrine dedicated to the wilderness spirit Aessina lies in the midst of a forest glade in Ashenvale's heart. The shrine is a clear forest pool with a statue of Aessina, standing beside it, clothed only in ivy. Dryads are known to visit the shrine to venerate her.

The Shrine of Remulos is a shrine dedicated to Keeper Remulos, located in western Moonglade. It also houses the night elf Tajarri who helps young druids along. The Shrine of Remulos is the home of Keeper Remulos, and it can be found a few minutes walk to the west of Nighthaven, in the Moonglade. Many younger druids turn to Remulos, the son of the legendary demigod Cenarius, for advice.

The Shrine of the Deceiver

The Shrine of the Deceiver is a corrupted barrow den located at Jaedenar in Felwood. It is named for the Burning Legion's lord - Kil'jaeden the Deceiver. The shrine is filled with warlocks of the Shadow Council and is a dangerous place to enter for the unprepared.

The Shrine of the Dormant Flame

The Shrine of the Dormant Flame is a place most holy to all shaman of the Horde. It is accessible via a secret path that spirals around the tallest mountain of the region, just northwest of the Valley of Trials. The top provides a fantastic view of the region, but jumping from the peak is ill-advised. In order to reach the shrine, there is a path starting next to the Southfury River at the southwestern tip of the Southfury Watershed. Telf Joolam is the keeper of the shrine, and wanders alone around it. He is responsible for guiding aspiring shaman in the way of taming fire. The brazier at the top is to be lit by shamans using the ember of a fire elemental they had defeated, to show that they had control over fire.

The Skittering Dark

The Skittering Dark is an abandoned gold mine that now hosts an army of voracious spiders. The mine and nearby area are crawling with Skitterweb spiders found just west of the Forsaken Rear Guard and east of North Tide's Run in Silverpine Forest. The spiders here are led by the Skitterweb Matriarch, a gigantic spider hiding deep within the mine. Krethis the Shadowspinner, a rare spider, can sometimes be found outside the mine. Several cocoons litter the area filled with worgen, worgs, bears, and even the orcs that crashed along the shore to the west.

The Slag Pit

The Slag Pit lies deep within the Cauldron excavation site in Searing Gorge. It is run by cruel Dark Iron dwarves and worked by their slave laborers. Within the depths of the Slag Pit there is another danger, ravenous Incendosaurs. The Dark Irons are extremely hostile to any who would interfere with their mining operations. Although the slave laborers seem unhostile, they will turn hostile if you attack a Dark Iron Slaver or Dark Iron Taskmaster in their presence.

The Sleeping Gorge

The Sleeping Gorge is a small chasm in eastern Deadwind Pass. One of the paths south to Karazhan runs through the gorge for a stretch before turning east into the Vice.

The Solliden Farmstead

Solliden Farmstead, nestled in western Tirisfal Glades, is one of the last havens where native Lordaeronian farmers endure, untouched by the Plague of Undeath. Aligned with the Scarlet Crusade, they rely on its fanatical protection against the Forsaken and the Scourge. The Sollidens live off their bountiful pumpkin fields and, when possible, hunt game in the surrounding woods. Yet, the farm lies perilously close to Deathknell and the cursed Agamand Mills, where undead threats are ever-present. Farmer Solliden still oversees the land, a rare remnant of old Lordaeron’s resilience. Hardened by isolation and the horrors nearby—raids from Brill and shadows in the fields—the Solliden folk attack all outsiders on sight, even fellow humans. Their fear has festered into the same ruthless suspicion that fuels their Scarlet protectors.

The Southmoon Ruins

The Southmoon Ruins is an area of ancient troll ruins in southern Tanaris, just north of the Valley of the Watchers, inhabited by Dunemaul ogres controlling the ruins

The Spirit Den

The two towers are constantly spying on one another through magical means. Inside the tower are several vendors and, most notably, the Artisan enchanter for the Alliance. The servants of Azora are unable to wield magic and are somewhat resentful of the abilities of their master. It also shows that many things straying too near the tower are adversely affected by its magical aura, so the servants often have to battle living buckets and mutant butterflies.

The Venture Company muscled its way in, even stepping on the toes of Baron Revilgaz of Booty Bay. When Revilgaz discovered that Venture Co.’s shredders were using a new type of fuel regulator, he dispatched agents to steal the schematics and send them to Pozzik at Mirage Raceway, hoping to outmatch the gnomes.

The Wailing Caverns

The Wailing Caverns are a network of underground caverns within the heart of the Barrens. Its waterways carry underground rivers for miles beneath the savannah, and naturally bubbles to the surface as small oases throughout the Barrens. The caverns were discovered by the night elf druid Naralex, who named them after the mournful howls produced by the wind traveling through the caverns. Naralex believed that if he connected the underground waters directly to the Emerald Dream, he could spread growth across the Barrens and restore the region to its original lush state. He traveled into the caverns with his loyal disciples and settled into meditation, allowing the Dream to connect to Azeroth through his body. But, he was unexpectedly overwhelmed by the Emerald Nightmare. Unable to wake, the sleeping Naralex inadvertently channeled the Nightmare's energies into the caverns, corrupting the waters, the wildlife and his disciples, most of whom went insane and became the Druids of the Fang.

As a restless spirit, he returned to the lighthouse, witnessing Old Murk-Eye drive its keepers away and extinguish the beacon. Though they returned and rekindled the flame, the murlocs struck again. This time, the family didn’t survive. Grayson watched, powerless. With no living soul left to tend the light, the burden passed to him. Now, in undeath, he guards the flame he once cursed, ensuring no other sailor shares his fate.

Since Daelin's death, they have continued their crusade against the Horde. While Jaina does not approve of their actions, the majority of the Alliance accepts the dangerous philosophy of these troops. Although there are some who view them as being almost as fanatical and stupid as the Scarlet Crusade. It might seem Thrall has not crushed this group out of mercy, and that may prove a strategic mistake

Athrikus was at first loyal to his queen, but eventually he grew bored of his post, and would spend most of his days in the Tower of Althalaxx, some ways removed of the towns. Approximately 10,000 years later, a dark theory about the Tower of Althalaxx has proven true: A cult gathered at the mage tower with many warlocks amongst their number, including a foul satyr.

Uldaman

Uldaman is an ancient Titan vault that has laid buried since the world's creation. Dwarven excavations have recently penetrated this forgotten city, releasing the Titans' first failed creations: the Troggs. Legends say that the Titans created troggs from stone. When they deemed the experiment a failure, the Titans locked the troggs away and tried again - resulting in the creation of the dwarven race. The secrets of the dwarves' creation are recorded on the fabled Discs of Norgannon - massive Titan artifacts that lie at the very bottom of the ancient city. Recently, the Dark Iron dwarves have entered Uldaman, hoping to claim the discs for their fiery master, Ragnaros. However, protecting the buried city are several guardians - giant constructs of living stone. The Discs themselves are guarded by a massive, sapient Stonekeeper called Archaedas. Some rumors even suggest that the dwarves' stone-skinned ancestors, the earthen, still dwell deep within the city's hidden recesses.

Uldum

The Ruins of Uldum is an ancient hall of stone ,full of Sandstone Earthen, who are immobile (if unprovoked) and malfunctioning. The western side of the room has been damaged, revealing a titan device. The area appears to also be known as the "Antechamber of Uldum" and may have once been the grand entrance to Uldum itself. The quakes that ripped its doors open probably collapsed the tunnels. It is said that Tanaris once housed a Titan city, a place known as Uldum. The city seems to be lost as no one has been able to find it. Fragments of notes unearthed from Bael Modan suggest that a great titan city lies deep within the rocky expanse of the southern desert. So far, dwarven expeditions have yet to track down the location of Uldum, but they are confident that it is only a matter of time.

The tomb is connected to the lower slopes of Sorrow Hill by the Path of Uther and is tended by High Priest Thel'danis, a high elf who aids the Light’s faithful and discreetly shelters refugees fleeing the undead. After Lordaeron’s fall, Uther and fellow champions held Andorhal against the Scourge, until Arthas, now a death knight, returned to claim the urn of his father and slay his former mentor. Uther’s surviving knights recovered his body and laid him to rest beneath the Light’s gaze. His grave, marked by his likeness wielding a tome and hammer, endures as a beacon of hope in a forsaken realm.

Valormok

Camp Valormok is a small encampment with a population of 250. Is the staging point for most of the Horde forces in the area, and it consists of little more than a gathering of a few tents and crude walls. Still, it is better than the Alliance holdings, who have nothing more than a landing pad, and a couple of night elves standing around here and there. The warriors there experienced difficult times but were still hopeful. It is populated with many more orcs, but most were slain by the treacherous blood elf Magus Rimtori, who was sent with warriors by Belgrom Rockmaul to find riches and powerful artifacts. Instead, Rimtori ended up killing the Horde warriors and taking what she found for herself.

Westbrook Garrison

Westbrook Garrison stands as the final bastion of order west of Stormwind, nestled at Forest's Edge in Elwynn Forest, near the border with Westfall.

Patrols and excursions are regularly dispatched to keep the gnolls at bay and ensure the safety of Stormwind-held territory. The garrison also serves as a proving ground for newly initiated knights, who are tasked with maintaining the security of the surrounding settlements. South of the garrison, the forest teems with gnolls, and beyond lies the shadowy Duskwood, separated only by a river.

Xavian is named after Xavius, one of the night elves responsible for summoning the burning legion through a portal manifested from the Well of Eternity in Zin-Azshari in what became later known as the War of the Ancients. Sargeras transformed Xavius into the first satyr when he became unhappy with his progress with the portal. With as close as Xavian is to Azshara, it's easy to assume that this is why it's named so.
