About The Barrens
The Barrens were not always barren. Long ago the night elves founded an outpost called Then’Ralore in the lush central wilds of Kalimdor, and that green country later became the dry savanna we call the Barrens. What remains is a sea of dust and cracked earth, the crossroads of the continent.
It was in the Barrens that Thrall’s Horde met the tauren, and the two peoples together crushed a centaur army. The savanna is still contested: quilboar warrens fill the south, the Druids of the Fang guard the ill-fated dream of Wailing Caverns, and Ratchet’s goblins are happy to sell to anyone who arrives at the dock.
The Crossroads, Camp Taurajo, and Ratchet anchor this sprawling savanna, one of the biggest leveling zones on Kalimdor. Wailing Caverns hides in the north, while Razorfen Kraul and Razorfen Downs sit on the southern border.
