| − | == Description == |
||
| − | I've got a little proposition for you, if you're interested. |
||
| + | 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 west is a large [[Horde]] outpost, bulit near its precedessor that was buried by an avalanche caused by the [[Shattering]]. In the east is a neutral [[Goblin]] town of [[Fuselight]] and its sister port town, [[Fuselight-by-the-Sea]]. 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. In this region is also a massive scar created and named after [[Deathwing]] himself, overrun by enraged [[earth elemental]]s. |
||
| − | Those [[Dark Iron clan|Dark Irons]] were here before {{NPC||Lead Prospector Durdin||Durdin}} and [[Explorers' League|his crew]] arrived. That means that, once these [[Tomb of the Watchers|titan ruins]] opened up, the dark irons were the first ones in there, lootin' all the good stuff. I'll bet they've still got those treasures locked up inside Angor Fortress, northwest of here. |
||
| + | ==History== |
||
| − | You've more than proven your ability to wallop a dwarf. Head on into that fortress and wallop your way to [[titan]] treasure. |
||
| + | [[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". |

| − | I'd go with, but {{quest|A Dwarf's Got Needs|I'm drunk}}. |

The Badlands is a region in Khaz Modan accessed via the Searing Gorge to the west and Loch Modan to the north.
The Badlands are a cracked desert of dry earth, scattered boulders, and winding canyons. Ironforge and Silvermoon 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.[1]
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 west is a large Horde outpost, bulit near its precedessor that was buried by an avalanche caused by the Shattering. In the east is a neutral Goblin town of Fuselight and its sister port town, Fuselight-by-the-Sea. 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. In this region is also a massive scar created and named after Deathwing himself, overrun by enraged earth elementals.
History
Hammertoe's Digsite
The fall of the orcish Horde at the end of the Second War left its remnants scattered and downtrodden. The Orcs 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".
Getting There
Players can access the zone by using a boat from Eastern Plaguelands that goes to the goblin port, Fuselight-by-the-Sea.
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.
The instanced dungeon Uldaman can be found in this area. In addition, there are a few micro dungeons in the Badlands. There are no battlegrounds in this zone.
