'''Lethlor Armbands''' is a quest reward from [[Quest:A Strange Request (Badlands)]].
'''Sholazar Basin''' (pronounced SHOL-uh-zarh) is a tropical jungle basin in the midst of [[Northrend]]. It is found between [[Borean Tundra]] and [[Icecrown Glacier]]. The zone's climate and safety from the [[Scourge]] is maintained by pylons, erected by the [[Titan]]s.<ref>{{ref web|url=http://www.worldofwar.net/articles/413336/wotlk-report-may-2008/page6|title=WotLK Report May 2008}}</ref> Recently, one pylon in the east has fallen and the Scourge has taken this opportunity to invade from [[Icecrown]] to the north. They are now streaming down [[The Avalanche]].

Much like [[Kalimdor]]'s [[Un'Goro Crater]], the Sholazar Basin is an anomaly. It fills the northwest corner of the Borean Tundra, and is surrounded by a nasty ridge, requiring climbing to reach it. Those that reach the top of the ridge look down into a lush tropical jungle. Hot springs dot the basin and you have to watch out for steam vents and geysers — hot enough to cook flesh from bones in an instant if something gets caught in one. Thick vegetation fills the basin, and birds and small animals are everywhere. So are insects. It is an amazing place, and hard to believe it’s part of Northrend.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 93-94</ref>

==External links==
In Sholazar Basin, players will take part in a faction war between the [[wolvar]] ([[Frenzyheart Tribe]]) and the [[gorloc]]s (arctic cousins of [[murloc]]s). The various gorloc tribes have gathered together to form the group called the [[Oracles]]. Players are only be able to choose one side, but are allowed to easily change to which faction they wish to be allied with.

{{elinks-item|63157}}
A high elf scholar that once visited Kaskala believed that the titans used the Sholazar Basin as a testing ground. Some of their experiments, or at least the remains of those experiments, may still exist. Thus, the basin is a potential treasure trove of knowledge and power. Who knows what species the Titans left here, and what notes and tools?<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 93-94</ref>

== Notable characters ==
 
{{main|Sholazar Basin NPCs}}
 
 
Sholazar Basin is home to several characters of note. At [[Frenzyheart Hill]], [[High-Shaman Rakjak]] leads the [[Frenzyheart Tribe]] in the fight against local fauna and their hated enemies, [[the Oracles]], led by [[High-Oracle Soo-say]]. The [[wolvar]] are not the only new arrivals to the basin, as [[Hemet Nesingwary]] leads his band of hunters in search of new game, targeting [[Broodmother Slivina]] as the ultimate challenge to a hunter. [[Artruis the Heartless]] leads the [[Scourge]] attack on the region, but it continually held at bay by the mysterious [[Avatar of Freya]].
 
 
== Quests ==
 
See the [[Sholazar Basin quests]].
 
 
== Resources ==
 
* [[Adder's Tongue]]
 
* [[Goldclover]]
 
* [[Tiger Lily]]
 
* [[Rich Saronite Deposit]]
 
* [[Saronite Deposit]]
 
* [[Titanium Vein]]
 
 
== Wild creatures ==
 
Many fearsome and exotic beasts dwell in the steamy jungle of Sholazar Basin. Goretalon rocs glide through the Basin and Sapphire Hive wasps buzz and go about the business of protecting their hive. The gigantic and bad-tempered shardhorn rhinos graze while hardknuckle gorillas forage nearby. Sinuous emperor cobras and massive [[dreadsaber]]s stalk their prey through the undergrowth, both of which are deadly apex predators and more than a match for an unwary traveler in the Basin. Mangal crocolisks also make their home in the Basin's waters and should be treated with caution as well.
 
 
The Basin has more than a few unique beasts of such singularly impressive size, strength and or beauty as to earn them the distinction of being named. Some of these include:
 
 
*The mighty dreadsaber [[Shango (dreadsaber)|Shango]].
 
*The black-furred lion [[Pitch]].
 
*The towering devilsaur [[King Krush]].
 
*The poisonous emperor cobra [[Venomtip]].
 
*The incredibly elusive and beautiful mate of Harkoa herself, the [[spirit beast]] [[Loque'nahak]].
 
 
Rare elite NPCs associated with the {{achievement|Northern Exposure}} achievement:
 
 
*[[Aotona]] found in Wildgrowth Mangal.
 
*[[King Krush]]
 
*[[Loque'nahak]]
 
 
== Notes ==
 
*In ''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', this area was treated more as a subzone of the Borean Tundra.
 
*To open up the flight path at Nesingwary Base Camp, there is a 2-part quest chain from Weslex Quickwrench that you have to complete first.
 
*Given Blizzard's fondness for pop-culture references, Sholazar may be a nod to the Savage Land of Marvel Comics. Both are tropical paradises formed in Arctic regions by a powerful race of creator-beings.
 
*At co-ordinates (38,37), a hatch with the numbers 5 9 16 17 24 43 can be found as a reference to the series Lost.
