| − | The '''Stonetalon Mountains''', aka '''Stonetalons''', are a range of peaks that lie west of the [[Barrens]], south of [[Ashenvale]], and north of [[Desolace]]. The mountains are traditionally the homeland of the [[harpies]], but their numbers have dwindled as the bird-women spread east and south. [[Stonetalon Peak]], the largest mountain in the range, has long been a sacred place for both the [[night elves]] and [[tauren]]. The night elves maintain a barrow and a glade at the top, where they commune regularly with the spirits of nature. The mountains further south are less forested, although some sparse evergreens grow in certain spots, particularly the [[Greatwood Vale]]. The [[Venture Trading Company]] have put a heavy toll on the land, cutting down almost all the trees in [[Windshear Crag]] and filling the air with soot, spoiling the area's water with oil and waste much to the fury of the orcs and tauren. The tauren have a holding in the centrally located [[Sun Rock Retreat]] and the [[Darkspear]] trolls have a settlement further south at [[Malaka'jin]]. The mountains are also home to kobolds, spiders, and wyverns, while [[Charred Vale]] holds several especially dangerous kinds of beasts and elementals. |

| − | The Stonetalon Mountains were once a low set of hills giving a gentle view to the ocean waves in the west. The Sundering that tore apart the world drove great sandstone cliffs and mountain peaks high in the air. Water from the eastern coast poured into the newly created chasms and gorges. With the aid of erosion from the [[Blackwolf River]], the Stonetalon Mountains have expanded into a vast network of canyons and cliff openings that invites adventurers and beasts alike to explore the virgin lands. The Stonetalons rise in central Kalimdor, south of Ashenvale Forest and north of Desolace. The mountain range feeds into the bleak expanse of the Barrens to the east. The atmosphere of the Stonetalon Mountains can best be described as extreme. At the lower elevations it is windy, hot, and dry. It is a harsh place where food cannot grow and flash floods are commonplace in the early summer months. Moisture from the ocean builds up into huge rain clouds, but the towering peaks are too high for the clouds to pass inland. They crash against the mountains’ western side and pour massive sheets of water upon the slopes to run through narrow canyons and back into the ocean or into a valley to dry up in a marshy sink. When the weather turns to rain, the ground grows slick and gray. Walking on a slope or a cliff in the rain is treacherous — water seeps through the sandstone and threatens to send even careful travelers plummeting to their deaths. Oftentimes, when the clouds expel all their moisture, hot winds push them farther up the slope, surrounding the Stonetalon Peak in a shroud of thundering mist. An immediate feature any visitor notices — aside from the sheer cliffs and deep crevasses - is the constantly blowing wind. Sometimes a gentle breeze carries fresh air in from the ocean and other times a violent gale stirs up vicious dust devils or brings a storm in from the western mountains. The rugged mountains are home to many wild beasts and only a few civilized habitations. Hippogryphs roost near Mirkfallon Lake in cave complexes high on the slopes. Their nests are defended by large bramble hedgerows, making access nearly impossible without flying. Other creatures found throughout the mountains are striders, hyenas, kobolds, swoops, crag panthers, and even rock elementals and the rare sabertooth cat. |

| − | Further up the Stonetalon Peak, on its eastern side, are the chaotic lands of the wyverns and drakes. These ancient “flying lizards” have long been rivals for supremacy of the skies. Every once in a while, when other races threaten to interfere, the two will set aside their differences long enough to deal with the interlopers. Agents of the goblin-run Venture Company have also been sighted in the area, searching for potential tracts to deforest and streams of precious ore to plunder with their mining machines. The mountains are known for their Ill Winds. The winds whip through the Stonetalon Mountains with great force, slowing travelers' progress and throwing up clouds of grit and dust that can confuse the best sense of direction. Small and lightly built individuals have even been flung off a mountainside by a particularly forceful gust. The wind in Stonetalons seldom drops below moderate even on a calm day and can change from a steady breeze to a brutal windstorm without warning.<ref name="Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 208">''[[Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 208</ref> |

| − | Stonetalon Mountains have traditionally been the area of [[Kalimdor]] where night elves and tauren coexist and forms a border between the two peoples. Stonetalon Peak has long been a sacred place for the two races, and was historically the home of the immortal [[Medivh|Oracle]], the being who saw the strands of fate as they were woven by the [[Earth Mother]]. During the [[Third War]], the mountains hosted [[human]] and [[orcish]] camps, and it was at Stonetalon Peak that the [[Alliance]] and the [[Horde]] temporarily united in order to fight the [[Burning Legion]]. |

||
| − | |||
| − | * [[The Charred Vale]] – finally lives up to its name; mountains opened to the sea and filled with lava, black dragons, and fire elementals; path to [[Desolace]] is intact; path to [[Sunrock Retreat]] intact, though a fork to the right now leads through a [[Highborne]] undead area, the [[Ruins of Eldre'thar]], and on to [[Sishir Canyon]] |
||
| − | * [[Cragpool Lake]] – now home to an enormous fish, [[Cragjaw]]; the last of the [[Venture Company]] in the area appear to have remained here; high above the Venture Company structure and in the mountains is an abandoned human camp near a lake with a decayed boat |
||
| − | * [[Grimtotem Post]] – to the east and high in the hills is the [[Alliance]] quest hub of the [[Northwatch Expedition Base Camp]] with flight master, inn, and mine; to the east of the Base Camp is the [[Horde]]-controlled strip mine, the [[Unearthed Ground]], which appears to have been taken by force from the [[Dwarves]]; all Grimtotem areas, including the Grimtotem Post, appear to under attack by the Horde |
||
| − | * [[Malaka'jin]] – an expanded quest hub with flight master; it is from here the Horde launch their attacks against the nearby Grimtotem areas; [[The High Road]] from the [[Southern Barrens]] connects here |
||
| − | * [[Mirkfallon Lake]] – taken over by the Horde, with a [[Goblin]]-themed establishment with an oil platform and flight master; a path over the hills joins Mirkfallon with [[Windshear Crag]]; to the SW of the Lake is an Alliance post, [[Mirkfallon Post]], manned by [[Night Elf]] Rogues, complete with a flight path |
||
| − | * [[Sishir Canyon]] – appears to have been opened up near [[Webwinder Path]] and invaded by spiders. The canyon also leads to the newly discovered [[Ruins of Eldre'thar]]. |
||
| − | * [[Stonetalon Peak]] – full of invading tentacles and [[Corrupted Sentinel]]s; Alliance have a new town, [[Thal'darah Overlook]], to the SE of the intact [[Talon Den]]; opposite Thal'darah and very high in the mountains is a new Horde establishment, with flight path, called [[Cliffwalker Post]], accessible by lift; the mountains south of Stonetalon Peak have opened into two new areas: the northern most is [[Battlescar Valley]] where the Horde and Alliance are fighting, and the new area adjoining this is [[Thal'darah Grove]] – beyond which lies [[Farwatcher's Glen]], another Alliance controlled hub with flight master manned by Night Elves and [[Worgen]] |
||
| − | * [[The Talondeep Path]] – now the [[Talondeep Pass]], a path blown open in the mountains between Stonetalon Mountains and [[Ashenvale]]; appears to be primarily Horde-controlled; [[Trueshot Point]] sits on the western side, Alliance controlled with sniper cannons |
||
| − | * [[Webwinder Path]] – Horde have barricaded the road close to [[Boulderslide Ravine]], though it is easy to walk around |
||
| − | * [[Windshear Crag]] – the entrance has been taken by the Alliance and [[Windshear Hold]] established with an inn and flight path; the SE of Windhsear Hold and across the Crag the Horde have established [[Krom'gar Fortress]], with their own inn and flight master, and also their own mine; Goblin and [[Gnome]] machines fight in the valley below |
||
| − | * [[Windshear Mine]] – taken by the Horde |
||
| − | * Other – mobs added to the area include Rams and Eagles; far to the East of Windshear Mine, high in the mountains bordering The [[Northern Barrens]] is an abandoned [[Tauren]] hut with a large peace pipe – the is also a large lake nearby with a Tauren canoe; the Night Elf and Tauren ruins above the Talon Den are still there |

||

||
| − | |||
| − | The Stonetalon Mountains lie between the forests of [[Ashenvale]] to the north and the bleak [[Desolace]] to the south west. The highest peaks of the mountains are thickly forested with evergreens, though the forest thins with lower altitude. The logging of the [[Venture Company]] has also further thinned the forest, with clear cutting in and around [[Windshear Crag]]. The mountains boast a lake known as [[Mirkfallon Lake]], around which [[wyvern]]s make their nests. [[Charred Vale]], once a lush and beautiful area, is now a desolate ruin full of fire elementals. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are no instanced dungeons nor PvP battlegrounds in the Stonetalon Mountains. The micro dungeon [[Talon Den]] can be found here. Travel hubs include [[Sun Rock Retreat]] for the Horde and [[Stonetalon Peak]] for the Alliance. |

| − | Stonetalon Mountains are home to several characters of note. At Sun Rock Retreat, [[Braelyn Firehand]] seeks to employ Horde adventurers in her quest to staunch the chokehold the dryads and night elven druids have put upon the area. Other NPCs in Sun Rock send Horde players to battle against the [[harpies]] in the Charred Vale. The [[Grimtotem clan]] of renegade tauren have seized a village near the border of the [[Barrens]] and taken a few hostages. At Windshear Crag, [[Ziz Fizziks]] aims to strike directly at the heart of Venture Company's local team — the [[leper gnome|leprous gnome]] [[Gerenzo Wrenchwhistle]]. And in a small camp nearby, [[Kaela Shadowspear]] and [[Gaxim Rustfizzle]] organize the Alliance's opposition in the rugged crags, with particular aims at the nearby goblin invaders and the monsters of the Charred Vale. At the very border of Stonetalon and the Barrens, two Horde NPCs send you into Windshear Crag with similar intentions as Kaela and Gaxim. |

| − | * A shortcut can be found going through the mountains just north of [[Sun Rock Retreat]], featuring a great way for [[Alliance]] characters to get to the [[Charred Vale]] without having to travel via [[Mirkfallon Lake]]. [[Horde]] characters can get to the Charred Vale directly from their town, and thus will not use this shortcut frequently. The start of the path is hidden behind a small hill and is only shown by a strip of lighter ground. It leads past the the village on the northern side, high up and overlooking the village. It leads down into the Charred Vale on the other side. This route is not guarded by any guards or monsters. |
||
| − | * A shortcut to Malaka'jin can be found southwest of the Barrens/Stonetalon border, directly south of the main Stonetalon path, to enable Horde characters access to the trolls without having to battle the Grimtotem tauren on the main path. |

- For other uses, see Battlemaster (disambiguation).
A battlemaster is an NPC that offers characters the opportunity to join the queue for battlegrounds.
Each capital city has several full time battlemasters, one for each battleground, as well as a Wintergrasp Battle-Mage and a Arena Battlemaster. Additional battleground specific battlemasters that either stand around or roam the city only appear on their respective battleground's holiday weekends.
When using the tracking system with the minimap they will appear with the Alliance and Horde icons (
) at their locations.

Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Battlemasters in major cities replaced by new ones that give access to every available battleground. All arena battlemasters removed. Battlemasters at the three old world entrances kept but also give access to all battlegrounds.
- Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Battlemasters in major cities affiliated with specific Battlegrounds have been replaced with a Battlemaster for each faction that will allow players to queue for any Battleground. Battlemasters for specific Battlegrounds will still be seen around the cities during corresponding Battleground holiday weekends.
- Patch 1.7.0 (2005-09-13): Characters that use the Battlemaster to enter a Battleground will now port back to that Battlemaster when they leave the Battleground for any reason.
