Where this data comes from

A rugged frontier of rivers, grasslands and trade routes, roughly the size of Stranglethorn Vale, built from a previously inaccessible part of the Classic world between the Burning Steppes, Redridge, the Swamp of Sorrows and the Badlands. Nearly 200 quests for both factions, a port at Powderfuse Port reached by a new ship route from Tanaris, gnoll camps, ogres, the Powderfuse goblins, the Twilight's Hammer and the Brotherhood of the Horse.

What Blizzard has said

  • "A rugged frontier of rivers, grasslands, trade routes, struggling communities, and old grudges, with more than 150 new quests across much of the mid-30s to mid-40s experience."

    Blizzard — What's Next panel recap

  • "A mid-level zone roughly the size of Stranglethorn Vale, built from a previously inaccessible part of the Classic world and filled with nearly 200 quests for Horde and Alliance players," connected to the Burning Steppes, Redridge Mountains, the Swamp of Sorrows and the Badlands.

    Blizzard — Found Photos panel recap

  • Its port is Powderfuse Port, the destination of a new ship route that begins with the Steamwheedle Cartel in Tanaris. Gnoll camps, ogre threats, the new Powderfuse goblins, the Twilight's Hammer and the Brotherhood of the Horse tie the zone to its neighbours.
