The '''Badlands''' is a region in [[Khaz Modan]] accessed via the [[Searing Gorge]] to the west and [[Loch Modan]] to the north.
+
This item is a reward from the [[quest]] [[Quest:Triage (Horde)]] which begins with [[Gregory Victor]] located in [[Hammerfall]] in the [[Arathi Highlands]].
   
  +
==Notes==
The Badlands are a cracked desert of dry earth, scattered boulders, and winding canyons. Dark Iron dwarves clash with ogres and drakes, while Horde orcs man a fortress to keep watch on their renegade brethren in the eastern lands. Ironforge prospectors search this desolate land for Titan artifacts, inspired by the recently unearthed [[Uldaman]] — an immense ruin that held the first clues to the dwarves’ lofty origins. Stonevault troggs, released after millennia of slumber, slaughtered the explorers and viciously defend their stolen city.<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 17">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 17</ref>
 
  +
This item replaces what was once the next level for [[First Aid]] taught at the completion of the quest.
   
  +
== Patch changes ==
Only the hardiest of creatures can survive in the arid wastes, such as feral coyotes, cougars and buzzards. In the far east is a region inhabited by black dragon spawn. Scattered across the Badlands are camps of [[ogres]] of the [[Dustbelcher]] tribe. In the northwest is a tiny [[Horde]] outpost. The northern reaches of this rugged land are home to ruins that were the workings of the ancient race, the [[earthen]]. These ruins are known as [[Uldaman]]. [[Dark Iron dwarves]] also have a large fortress just south of Uldaman.

== History ==
 
[[File:Hammertoe's Digsite.jpg|thumb|Hammertoe's Digsite]]
 
The fall of the orcish Horde at the end of the [[Second War]] left its remnants scattered and downtrodden. The [[Orc]]s who once controlled [[Khaz Modan]] were nearly annihilated in a massive push by the Lordaeron humans. The ogres and Horde settlement in this region are the remains of the early Horde forces stationed there. Aid and reinforcements have arrived from the current Horde, much to the relief of the Orcs. In the interest of tactics they dug a path through the mountains to reach the [[Searing Gorge]], unwittingly releasing the Dark Iron Dwarves from their "prison".
 
There also seems to be a buried troll temple to the northwest of the [[Dustbowl]]'s middle part. The "troll temple" has two snake head statues that are similar to those found in the Hinterlands.
 
 
== Getting There ==
 
;{{Alliance Icon Small}}Alliance:From [[Loch Modan]], simply head south into the Badlands.
 
;{{Horde Icon Small}}Horde:The Badlands are one of the most difficult questing zones for Horde players to access, but are a vital connecting point between the north and south halves of the eastern continent. See [[Reaching the Badlands travel guide]] for a detailed guide on how to get here.
 
 
== Geography ==
 
This desolate wasteland is cracked and dry, consisting mostly of flat stretches of land enclosed by the surrounding mountains. A few hills dot the landscape, and the eastern part of the zone is a large canyon full of [[black dragonflight|black dragons]].
 
 
The instanced dungeon [[Uldaman]] can be found in this area. In addition, there are a few [[Dungeon|micro dungeons]] in the Badlands. There are no battlegrounds in this zone.

The Badlands will be a 45-48 zone in Cataclysm.<ref>http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/26435286279/feedback-badlands/</ref> A landslide has destroyed the town of [[Kargath]], and [[Deathwing]]'s passage through the zone has left a swath of destruction in its wake. A new goblin port will be built.
 
 
Areas affected:<ref>[http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19377467311&sid=1 Frejya’s (MVP) Cataclysm Compilation]</ref>
 
*[[Angor Fortress]] – from just south of here all the way to the SW corner of the Badlands is a swath of destruction (named [[Scar of the Worldbreaker (Badlands)|Scar of the Worldbreaker]]), with charred desert and the tops of mountains sliced off and glowing with lava – former areas included in the destruction include [[Camp Wurg]], much of [[The Dustbowl]] and most of [[Mirage Flats]]
 
*[[Agmond's End]] - most of the mobs in the camp proper have been slain and the camp is now home to the Gnome, [[Dr. Hieronymous Blam]] who seems to have created a number of [[Blam Turret]]s nearby
 
*[[Hammertoe's Digsite]] – the dwarf camp south of the site now contains an Alliance flight path and has been named [[Dustwind Dig]]
 
*[[Kargath]] – buried by an avalanche, and the [[Ruins of Kargath]] are now inhabited by black dragon whelps; [[New Kargath]] has been rebuilt nearby with updated architecture and fortifications in the area formerly known as [[Apocryphan's Rest]]; to the southeast of New Kargath is an Alliance quest hub, [[Dragon's Mouth]]
 
*[[Lethlor Ravine]] – above the ravine is a neutral [[Goblin]] outpost with flight master ([[Fuselight]]); following the path outside of town and across the opposite side of the ravine leads to a Goblin transporter that connects to another goblin-themed town over the hill and along the coast - [[Fuselight-by-the-Sea]]; the ravine appears to have been widened in some places and near the opening is a small camp, [[Rhea's Camp]], manned by the Goblin, [[Rhea]]
 
*[[Scar of the Worldbreaker]] - see Angor above; it seems three notable NPCs have been relocated here at a small camp of their own: [[Lucien Tosselwrench]], [[Martek the Exiled]], and [[Theldurin the Lost]]. It is unknown where Lucien's and Martok's former comrades are
 
*[[Tomb of the Watchers]] - located near Dustind Dig and north of the new Horde camp of [[Bloodwatcher Point]], this dig site appears to share many qualities with the nearby dungeon of [[Uldaman]] and is being excavated by both Horde and Alliance diggers
 
*Other – a deep chasm runs between Badlands and [[Loch Modan]] – it is uncertain as of this time how players will proceed into the zone from Loch Modan
