Unforgotten Places – The Barrens, part II

Mor’shan Base Camp

The Mor’shan Base Camp one of the two entrances to the Warsong Gulch battleground where the Alliance tries to drive out Horde deforesters. This small camp is run by the Battlemaster Gargok and quite heavily guarded by Horde Elite warriors.
Sludge Fen

Camp Taurajo
taurajo The southern Horde settlement in the Barrens is located close to the pass that leads to the taurens homeland Mulgore. Practically this means that everyone travelling to Mulgore must either pass through this camp or travel through the Quilboar country that surrounds it. This fact can lead to a long detour for Alliance members travelling to or from Mulgore.
seer Just outside of Camp Taurajo is a small camp where Takar the Seer lives, he is one of the many people that Warlock students are sent out to find during their training.
Bael Modan
modan The largest Alliance stronghold in the Barrens is called Bael Modan and is mostly populated by dwarves and gnomes. The dwarves are quite protective of the stronghold as it is the only defence that the archaeologists at the dig site have. The dig site is probably the largest one that the dwarves have on Kalimdor at the moment and it is not so surprising as they believe that they have found one of the ruins that is left after the titans, just like Uldaman and Ulduar.
Quilboars

The boar men, as they are also called are not the friendliest race living on Kalimdor. They have been in constant battle with the orcs since the Horde first arrived on the continent. One would think that quilboars would have joined the Alliance when they first saw their homes destroyed by the Horde, but they didn't and now they attack both sides one sight. But the hostility did not really start when the Horde arrived, the quilboars have been fighting the tauren and centaurs since the great sundering.
Luckily it is easy to avoid their homes as they are surrounded by huge thorn like veins that can be seen from a long distance.
Alliance Outrunnersoutrunner Many times when travelling the Barrens as a member of the Alliance, you might find yourself wishing for companions that are on their way in the same direction. Stay calm, because the Alliance Outrunners may already have spotted you and come to your aid. These riders are the friendliest bunch and sharing a camp fire with them is pure joy and makes you forget that you are in an unfriendly land. I salute these brave souls.
This is it for now about the Barrens. Remember that the place is mostly controlled by the Horde, so be careful while visiting. Good luck to you all!

Until next time: Challenge yourself to do something new
