*[[Gor'drek's Ointment]] (Provided)
  +
== Description ==
  +
With the magical dust you recovered, I have fashioned a magic ointment that will aid in our own defenses.
  +
Our dire wolves are the perfect combination of mount, sentry and friend, but the [[Alliance]] scum have been poaching them in the Jagged Ridge.
  +
&lt;name&gt;, I want you to take this ointment and apply it to our dire wolf friends. The [[Alliance]] will get a rude surprise the next time that they send one of their hunting parties.

Be aware though that some of the wolves may not like this, and will turn on you.

'''Hellfire Peninsula''' is one of the surviving parts of [[Draenor]]. It is a pivotal area of [[Outland]] that has been the location of many of the most brutal battles in Warcraft history. This is where the other side of the [[Dark Portal]] is located. Two of its past cities include [[Hellfire Citadel]] and [[Zeth'kur]].
 
−  
−
As its name implies, Hellfire Peninsula is a grim place. In regards to topography, well, there isn't much. Aesthetically, the ground looks like it does in Durotar: reddish in hue, and hard-packed. There is one key exception, though — when you travel on the ground, you note bones cracking and shattering beneath your feet. These would be the remains of the countless [[draenei]] that the blood-crazed [[orcs]] systematically slaughtered prior to bringing their war to Azeroth.[http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/world-of-warcraft-expansion/707676p2.html]
 
−  
−
Hellfire Peninsula — indeed, most of areas that Burning Crusade introduced — is much larger than what classic WoW players are used to. Part of the motive for this is to justify the relative speeds at which flying mounts travel.
 
−  
−
== History ==
 
−
Hellfire Peninsula was originally part of the world of [[Draenor]] before it was torn apart by [[Ner'zhul]]'s dimensional portals, becoming [[Outland]]. The peninsula remains mostly intact, although parts of it can be seen floating above and outside in the form of smallish islands. It was also the site of one of the bloodiest battles since the end of the [[Second War]], the Battle of the Hellfire Peninsula - where [[Khadgar]] and the [[Alliance Expedition]] battled [[Ner'zhul]], Warchief of the Horde of Draenor, in his mad bid to open portals to other worlds to conquer - the portals that tore the planet apart. This resulted in the sealing of the [[Dark Portal]]; for fifteen years, the fates of every member of the Alliance Expedition remained unknown, until the Portal was reopened...
 
−  
−
Worldofwarcraft.com says the following about the Hellfire Peninsula:
 
−  
−
''Once a lush and verdant land, Hellfire Peninsula is now a dry, barren wasteland rendered lifeless by the dark practices of orc warlocks. It is here that the Dark Portal stands, cementing the peninsula's place in history as the site of many pitched battles between the Alliance and Horde. The nefarious Burning Legion has gathered here also, using the area as a staging ground for its apocalyptic crusade.''
 
−
{{clrl}}
 
−  
−
== Geography ==
 
−
Hellfire Peninsula is a barren wasteland looking like a cross between the [[Blasted Lands]] and [[Tanaris]].
 
−  
−
Accessing the [[Dark Portal]] (the minimum level to pass through is 58) to Hellfire Peninsula is the most common way to reach [[Outland]] for the first time; thus, it is typically the first zone encountered in the 60+ content of the Burning Crusade.

== World PvP - Hellfire Fortifications ==
 
−
Three PvP objectives, small ruined forts of [[Broken Hill]], [[The Overlook]] and [[The Stadium]], stand in the center of the region just west of [[Hellfire Citadel]]. As with other [[World PvP]] games each of these points may be captured by PvP flagged characters holding position within the objective. In order to flag a fort, you need to be non-stealthed, and the fort in question needs to be currently flagged by opposing faction, or unflagged (shown as gray on zone map).
 
−  
−
The faction with the most flagged characters within the objectives vicinity will slowly gain ownership of the point. When all three points are controlled by a faction they will gain a zone-wide bonus of +5% Damage, applicable even within the [[Hellfire Citadel]] instances. This bonus is called [[Hellfire Superiority]].
 
−  
−
In addition, any opposing players killed while fighting for the objectives will reward the player and the player's party with a PvP token, {{loot|Common|Mark of Honor Hold}} for the Alliance and {{loot|Common|Mark of Thrallmar}} for the Horde. Grouping is encouraged as only the party that performs the killing blow will receive a token.
 
−  
−
The repeatable quest, [[Hellfire Fortifications]], awards 150 reputation points for either [[Honor Hold]] or [[Thrallmar]], and 3 tokens. The quest requires the player to capture each point once, is repeatable and cannot be completed in a raid. The quest can only be completed once per day.
