Netherstorm

Template:Bc

---

One of the five Manaforges in Netherstorm. They channel energies to be collected by blood elves who seek to find their leader Prince Kael'Thas.

Netherstorm is a zone in northeastern Outland consisting of levitating, purple rock.

Some of its wild creatures include nether rays, mana wyrms, crystal giants and ethereals. The whole zone has been taken over by goblins and gnomes who perform their research here. Signs of their influence can be seen on the architecture of bridges and sign posts.

Five humongous manaforges have been strategically built upon the Netherstorm, collecting mana for the magic-hungry blood elves.

The Netherstorm is home to a band of ethereals named the Consortium. Their main outpost is the Stormspire.

The Eye of the Storm is a battleground that is theoretically situated within the zone. It consists of a mixture between World PVP in the Eastern Plaguelands and traditional battlegrounds PVP in Warsong Gulch (Capture the Flag), with the "resource" requirements (points) of Arathi Basin.

History

The region of Netherstorm was a verdant open range called the Fields of Farahlon until Draenor was ripped apart. Source: (http://media.worldofwarcraft.com/bc-minisite/index.htm). It used to be where the Laughing Skull Clan had their holdings, but when the Dark Portal collapsed, the land was torn apart, and is now a series of suspended islands floating loosely in the Twisting Nether.

Geography

Primarily comprised of dead, purple rock, Netherstorm isn't completely arid. In its center, there are grand domes – so called eco-domes – in which plants that otherwise can't grow upon the desolate Netherstorm thrive in co-existance with various beasts, including raptors, talbuks, moths and lynx.

In order to reach the Netherstorm, one has to cross the Gyro-Plank Bridge gapped between the floating zone and the Blade's Edge Mountains. It is located in the northernmost part of the mountainous zone.
