Tranquillien is a town located in the Ghostlands, on the western slope of Sungraze Peak overlooking the Dead Scar. It is surrounded by hostile forces, most notably the Scourge of Deatholme. Resources are therefore in perennial short supply, and communications from Silvermoon City are at best infrequent.
Tranquillien is populated by both blood elves and the Forsaken. The two races have formed a faction that is overseen by Dame Auriferous and High Executor Mavren, along with their lieutenants, Advisor Valwyn and Deathstalker Maltendis.
History
During the Third War, as the Scourge advanced upon Silvermoon City and the Sunwell, the high elves were forced to abandon Tranquillien. The village soon fell into disrepair, but was recently retaken by a coalition of blood elves and Forsaken. The two races now use Tranquillien as their base of operations from which they launch attacks aimed at retaking the Ghostlands.
Layout and Services
Tranquillien is small, and its services are limited. There is no auction house, bank or class trainers, and only one profession trainer. Equipment such as armor and weaponry are in short supply and available from only one source.
A road divides Tranquillien into eastern and western halves. On the eastern side is an inn run by Innkeeper Kalarin; Magistrix Aminel, an apothecary, and Terellia, a general goods vendor, are found on the second floor. At the entrance to the inn is a mailbox, and nearby are Master Chef Mouldier, a cooking trainer and supplier, and Blacksmith Frances, a blacksmith trainer who tends an anvil and forge.
Certain vendors are located north and south of the inn. Most notable among these is Provisioner Vredigar, who will sell green items and one blue item to characters based on their reputation.
Opposite the inn is a tower where is found the offices of Dame Auriferous and High Executor Mavren. North of Dame Auriferous' and High Executor Mavren's headquarters, on a slight rise surveying the Dead Scar, is the flight master Skymaster Sunwing. Flight paths link Tranquillien with Silvermoon City, Hatchet Hills (entrance to Zul'Aman) and Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands.

Reputation and Rewards
Players start Neutral with the Tranquillien faction, which is separate from Silvermoon City and Undercity (and other Horde factions). Several NPCs in Ghostlands provide quests which reward Tranquillien reputation. Higher reputation gives access to several gear rewards, sold by Provisioner Vredigar in Tranquillien.
After completion of most of the quests of Ghostlands you will be Exalted with Tranquillien and from that moment you are able to purchase [Tranquillien Champion's Cloak] for 28 83. Besides the prefered way of doing most the quests, it is also possible to increase your reputation through turning in [Spinal Dust] and [1-30] Rotting Hearts. Both are items for separate quests that become repeatable after you complete them.
Name | Level | Type | Reputation |
---|---|---|---|
[Apprentice Boots] | 15 | Cloth | Friendly |
[Bogwalker Boots] | 15 | Leather | Friendly |
[Volunteer's Greaves] | 15 | Friendly | |
[Tranquillien Flamberge] | 15 | Two-Handed Sword | Friendly |
[Apothecary's Waistband] | 17 | Cloth | Honored |
[Batskin Belt] | 17 | Leather | Honored |
[Tranquillien Defender's Girdle] | 17 | Honored | |
[Apothecary's Robe] | 15 | Cloth | Revered |
[Deathstalker's Vest] | 15 | Leather | Revered |
[Suncrown Hauberk] | 15 | Revered | |
[Tranquillien Champion's Cloak] | 21 | Cloth | Exalted |
The [Tranquillien Champion's Cloak] is a good low level cloak which you get almost for free if you have and choose ghostlands as your questing location between level 10 and 20. Alternatively you could get a group and a nice blue cloak from Wailing Caverns or a comparable Instance but if you prefer to play solo and to level fast, this will be your prefered way.
If you are questing in Ghostlands, be sure to get a small group and do the questline that starts with The Farstrider Enclave and ends with The Traitor's Destruction. You will find that the reward for the final quest is a nice shiny blue weapon ([Staff of the Sun] or [Farstrider's Longbow] or [Dawnblade] or [Sin'dorei Warblade]).
