It is an arid land, covered in sand dunes and frequently exposed to dangerous sandstorms. The [[Steamwheedle Cartel]] goblins have established [[Steamwheedle Port]] and [[Gadgetzan]] as their main centers of operation. The dock in Steamwheedle Port is presumably used for transport to the outer islands of the [[Undermine]], the goblin capital, but so far the goblins have proved unwilling to share the ships with the other races. |

||
| − | Tanaris is the ancestral home of the [[bronze dragonflight]] based out of the [[Caverns of Time]]. The [[titan]]s also have a holding here in the form of an entrance to the ancient land of [[Uldum]], found in the southern parts of the desert. It was here that [[Anachronos]] first discovered the full threat of the [[silithid]], who had been making hives in the remote regions of Tanaris. The [[War of the Shifting Sands]] was consequently unleashed upon the western land of [[Silithus]]. |

| − | There are portals in Dalaran ([[The Violet Citadel]]) and Shattrath ([[World's End Tavern]], by talking to [[Zephyr]] - requires {{reputation|Revered}} with [[Keepers of Time]]) which take you to the entry of the Caverns of Time. |

||
| − | [[File:Uldum entrance.jpg|thumb|right|[[Uldum]] entrance]] |
||
| − | Tanaris covers a vast expanse of [[Southern Kalimdor]], just south of [[Thousand Needles]]. It is a blazing hot expanse of rolling sand dunes under a cloudless sky. The southern region is more mountainous, with large cavern networks, with some extending deep beneath the surface. A vast realm, Tanaris holds many secrets. The land is mostly desert, and below ground are gigantic tunnel networks. They remain largely unexplored, for few have the fortitude to venture into such a harsh landscape. Still, rumors tell of all manner of creatures that hide within the tunnels and slaughter trespassers without hesitation. Although the sea of dunes does not look as if it would support a variety of wildlife, [[human]]s, [[Sandfury troll]]s, [[hyena]]s, [[scorpid]]s, [[basilisk]]s, and [[silithid]] bugs are quite common. Occasionally, [[drake]]s are also seen soaring on the thermals that swirl over the great desert.<ref name="Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 210">''[[Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 210</ref> |

| − | Tanaris contains quite a few instances, including all the [[Caverns of Time]] instances, as well as [[Zul'Farrak]]. In addition, there are several [[Dungeon|micro dungeons]] in this zone, but no battlegrounds. |

||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Dunemaul Compound]] – to the NE is a small [[Horde]] camp, the [[Dunemaul Recruitment Camp]] |
||
| − | * [[Eastmoon Ruins]] – taken by the [[Southsea Pirates]] |
||
| − | * [[Gadgetzan]] – both flight masters have been brought inside the city; the lands east of here have been flooded and a dock now sits on that side of the city – the boat is functional but the destination hasn’t been set at this time; Southsea Pirate ships form a blockade further out; out the north gate a ship is being constructed |
||
| − | * [[The Gaping Chasm]] – on the northern ridge is a neutral quest hub with flight master called [[Bootlegger Outpost]] |
||
| − | * [[Land's End Beach]] – east of [[Uldum]] the mountains have collapsed, connecting that end of the beach to the remainder of Tanaris; a small [[Alliance]] camp sits here, [[Steelspark Station]], manned by [[Gnomes]]; further down the beach is a camp of [[Bilgewater]] survivors, stranded on the beach |
||
| − | * [[Lost Rigger Cove]] – under attack by both [[Goblin]] and Gnome forces |
||
| − | * [[Sandsorrow Watch]] – cave nearby with large [[scorpid]] named [[Gargantapid]]; the northern most part of Sandsorrow is now a neutral quest hub |
||
| − | * [[Southbreak Shore]] – the Southsea Pirates have extended their camp down the shoreline with more boats and tents |
||
| − | * [[Southmoon Ruins]] – south of here is an Alliance quest hub with flight master, [[Gunstan's Dig]]; it appears the Horde and Alliance are fighting over the ruins |
||
| − | * [[Steamwheedle Port]] – flooded with survivors clinging to tops of buildings |
||
| − | * [[Thistleshrub Valley]] – mobs have vanished, but there is a new quest giver here named [[Adarrah]] (level 82), and a large stone pathway that is a secondary entrance to the [[Uldum]] zone (it is blocked by invisible walls as of build 12319) |
||
| − | * [[Uldum]] – the doors are now open |
||
| − | * [[Valley of the Watchers]] – SW of here is a [[Blood Elf]] Horde hub with a flight master, [[Dawnrise Expedition]] |
||
| − | * [[Waterspring Field]] - flooded |
||
| − | * [[Zalashji's Den]] – though the name still exists, nothing of the cave can be found |
||
| − | * Other – some new mobs can be found here, including elite [[Dune Worm]]s, [[Sand Rattler]]s, and [[Sand Lasher]]s; due to the flooding of the coast, other areas no longer above water include: [[Noonshade Ruins]] and [[Wavestrider Beach]] |
||
| − | * New [[Hunter]] Pets – [[Basking Cobra]], [[Sunburst Adder]], [[Dunemaul Broodlord]] (Scorpid) |

| − | == Notes == |
||
| − | * Since [[Alliance]] players do not have any travel hubs in [[Thousand Needles]], [[Gadgetzan]] makes a great alternative to get to [[Shimmering Flats]] since it is just a short run over the hill to get there. Even [[Horde]] players can benefit from this shortcut as it is even faster than running from [[Freewind Post]]. |
||
| − | * There is an alternative route to get to Tanaris that is much quicker for players in Dustwallow Marsh. By traveling to the Theramore Docks, on the eastern coast of Dustwallow, and swimming south around the mountains that surround Shimmering Flats, you can easily get to Steamweedle Port, so long as you hug the shoreline; failure to do so will result in death by fatigue. This is made much easier using a Swim Speed Potion, a druid's Aquatic form, a shaman's Water Walking or a similar ability. |
