The Ruins of Southshore
Flight path at the Ruins of Southshore
The Ruins of Southshore are all that remain of the human port village of Southshore, one of the last intact Alliance towns in Lordaeron.
Southshore has been destroyed by the Forsaken's "New Plague", despite the orders of the Horde leadership to cease production after the Wrathgate incident. The potency of the blight used is dubious, as even the Forsaken responsible for it express mild surprise at how effective it was. The town leaders and many others escaped to Fenris Keep, but some other inhabitants weren't so lucky. It was also known to the Horde that Southshore was a supply port and staging ground for the Alliance military in the new war. The loss of the port town spelled the beginning of the end of the Alliance in Hillsbrad Foothills.
It is now controlled by the Horde and serves as a quest hub, complete with a flight master. Yet due to the toxicity of the blight, the land will be inhospitable for several decades. Dark rangers patrol the roads nearby with domesticated spiders.
