'''Mandokir's Sting''' is a bow with good stats for [[Hunter]]s.
−
'''Old Hillsbrad Foothills''' is the setting of the instance [[Escape from Durnholde Keep]]. It is one of the timeways ("wings") accessible in the [[Caverns of Time]]. The setting takes place seven years before WoW's present (i.e. two years before the events of [[Warcraft III]]), to when the future [[Warchief]] {{npc||Thrall}} was a slave of {{npc||Aedelas Blackmoore}}, master of [[Durnholde Keep]]. The questing involves [[Escape from Durnholde|helping Thrall escape]]. The instance area in question spans from [[Southshore]] (where familiar personalities of WoW present can be found) to [[Tarren Mill]].

==Map limits==
+
==Source==
  +
The bow drops off [[Bloodlord Mandokir]] in the [[Zul'Gurub]] instance.
−
This instance, being the replica of a level 20 zone, is quite explorable alone. The actual areas where you encounter the fights and bosses of this instance are few and far between, leaving a wide-open zone full of things to explore. In fact it is encouraged that player come here alone to see all the cameos and find the interesting tidbits that lore fanatics crave, because while coming with a group for a run, they are not going to want to wait for player to explore so they can tackle content.
 
   
  +
==Patch changes==
−
You enter the instance from a cave that replaces the Yeti Cave at [[Darrow Hill]] in the present-day [[Hillsbrad Foothills|Hillsbrad]]. Head south from there and you hit the road that goes east-west from [[Silverpine Forest]] to [[Arathi Highlands]].
 
  +
*{{Patch 4.0.3a|note=No longer obtainable. Statistics slightly altered.}}
−  
  +
*{{Patch 1.7.0|note=Added.}}
−
However, you cannot wander too far away from the zones included in the instance:
 
−
*Access west towards [[Hillsbrad Fields]] or [[Silverpine Forest]] is blocked by fog blanking the screen
 
−
*the gate of [[Thoradin's Wall]] to the [[Arathi Highlands]] is closed tight
 
−
*the southern coast that leads to Arathi is blocked to swimmers by that same fog
 
−
*the passage to the [[Alterac Mountains]] is closed shut by a wall
 
−
*the river that runs through the foothills is blocked at the entrance to Alterac by a [[troll]]-wall.
 
−
*the cavern leading to Ravenholdt has not yet been excavated.
 
−
*The valley to the [[Hinterlands]] is blocked by a rock slide.
 
−  
−
==Solo exploring==
 
−
*The instance is explorable as a solo adventurer. As the elites are grouped in [[Durnholde Keep]] and [[Tarren Mill]], most of the open areas are populated by level 20ish non-elites, much like the present-day Hillsbrad Foothills.
 
−
*There are no herbs or ore veins to harvest here, and the waters cannot be fished. Also, the mailbox next to the inn isn't there.
 
−
*Despite the thick fog kicking in before you reach it, the actual Town of Hillsbrad is present within the instance. Oddly there is a new cave just north of Hillsbrad itself that seems to serve no purpose. The Tower at the entrance to the Hillsbrad region is also present and is not in disrepair. There is a wall blocking entrance or exit from the west of the Hillsbrad region and the path starts to go into the Silverpine region but then is cut off by instance limits.
 
−
*The instance even includes Dalaran though it is not accessible due to the fog that kicks in if one ventures too far. Dalaran during this period in lore is restored but in the game it is not. The vast arcane bubble is not present but what lands it does cover is nothing but brown dirt.
 
−
*The map extends into the [[Arathi Highlands]] and even the city of Stromgarde is built to how it appears in World of Warcraft.
 
−
*[[Aerie Peak]] is also present in the map if a player manages to get past the rockslide that blocks the path from the foothills to the Hinterlands.
 
−
*The map (estimated) spans from Silverpine Forest to the edges of Arathi. An interesting fact is that a hunter can view most of these places by using their [[Eagle Eye]] ability; and in doing so, may also be able to see that neither the crater nor the opaque dome that surrounded Dalaran before its movement is present.
 
−  
−
==Events==
 
−
There are many NPCs with some connection to important events in WoW and the Warcraft universe as a whole seen here in the past, many of them later being involved with either the [[Scourge]], the [[Scarlet Crusade]] or the [[Argent Dawn]]. They include (current locations in parentheses):
 
−  
−
===Southshore===
 
−
*A still-human {{npc||Kel'Thuzad}} can be found in Southshore, on the road leading north. Patrolling with Kel'Thuzad is {{npc||Helcular}}, a necromancer made famous by the Horde quest {{questlong|Horde|33|Helcular's Revenge}}.
 
−
*{{npc||Sally Whitemane}}, the future boss of [[Scarlet Monastery]] Cathedral, playing tag with {{npc||Renault Mograine}}, the future other boss from Scarlet Monastery Cathedral. {{npc||James Vishas||Jimmy Vishas}} can be seen following them; he later becomes Interrogator Vishas in the graveyard instance of Scarlet Monastery Cathedral. The trio also re-enact some of their lines and events when you encounter them as bosses on a {{npc||Captured Critter}}.
 
−
*{{npc||Herod||Herod the Bully}} can also be seen walking around Southshore, and he is much larger than the other children.
 
−
*On the docks, {{npc||Zixil|Aspiring Merchant}} can be seen building a robot: {{npc||Overwatch Mark 0|Protector}}. In the present day, this goblin (known as <Merchant Supreme> in the current [[Hillsbrad]]) can be found patrolling around Hillsbrad as a traveling vendor, accompanied by {{npc||Overwatch Mark I|Protector}}.
 
−
*Also on the dock is {{npc||Nat Pagle}} He is fishing with {{npc||Hal McAllister}} in a zone which, surprisingly enough, has no fish. They have some amusing conversations about [[Nat Pagle#Caverns of time|Nat's strange dreams]].
 
−  
−
====The Inn====
 
−
{{Main|Old Hillsbrad Ashbringer event}}
 
−
*In the Southshore inn, many well-known members of the [[Scarlet Crusade]] are standing around a table. If you wait a minute or so, they'll have a discussion about the upcoming war against the [[Scourge]], which reveals some backstory about the {{item|Ashbringer}}, in what appears to be their first meeting. This is mostly bosses from [[Scarlet Monastery]] as younger versions of themselves, as well as the prominent members of the Scarlet Crusade who splintered off to become the [[Argent Dawn]] because they disagreed with the Crusade's fanaticism, including {{npc||Tirion Fordring}}, the eventual leader of the [[Argent Crusade]] and [[Ashen Verdict]].
 
−
*Also inside the inn are two ship captains drinking at the bar, who go outside to have a private discussion. {{npc||Captain Sanders}} discusses his plans with {{npc||Captain Edward Hanes}} to hide his various possessions around the world, and leave {{item|Captain Sanders' Treasure Map|a map}} that goes from clue to clue in order to get his prizes. {{Quest|Captain Sanders' Hidden Treasure|This treasure hunt}} can be found in the present day from a world drop off of [[murloc]]s in Westfall. The rewards from doing the quest are the items he talks about while in Old Hillsbrad. Captain Edward Hanes is also a quest giver for low level [[Draenei]] on the [[Bloodmyst Isle]].
 
−
*A young {{npc||Taelan Fordring}} is upstairs in the inn, playing with {{item|Taelan's Hammer|a large, glowing hammer}}.
 
−  
−
===Tarren Mill===
 
−
*Within [[Tarren Mill]], there are two children running around the town: {{npc||Jay Lemieux}} ({{npc||Jason Lemieux}} is a mushroom vendor in the present day Tarren Mill) and {{npc||Julie Honeywell}} (who goes on to become a mage in present-day [[Southshore]].)
 
−
*Within the orchard is the {{npc||Tarren Mill Horsehand}}. He patrols around the area and has some interactions with residents and his horses. He starts in the barn.
 
−
*{{npc||Young Blanchy}} can be found in the Tarren Mill barn. ({{npc||Old Blanchy}} is a horse that can be found in modern day [[Westfall]].)
 
−  
−
==NPCs for questing==
 
−

−
*{{npc||Erozion}} - bronze dragon in high elf guise at the exit of the cave leading from the instance portal (gives both the quest to rescue Thrall and the incendiary bombs to do so)
 
−
*{{npc||Brazen}} - bronze dragon next to Erozion (gives free ride from instance entrance to Durnholde's front gate)
 
−

==2.4.3: Don Carlos' Famous Hat==
 
−
A young {{npc||Don Carlos}} was added to the instance in patch 2.4.3 for the quest {{questlong|neutral|68|Nice Hat...}}, which starts from his current self in the [[Gadgetzan]] graveyard in [[Tanaris]]. His younger version can be found patrolling the road on horseback between Southshore and Tarren Mill, with his pet {{npc||Guerrero}}. In the heroic version of the dungeon, he will drop {{item|Don Carlos' Famous Hat}}, a haliscan-style hat that summons a coyote spirit vanity pet. ''For more details, see [[Don Carlos (tactics)]].''
 
−  
−
==Notes==
 
−
*All other NPCs in the town use the "old" models from the very earliest stages of the game's development. These differ from the current models because their armor, clothing, etc is "built in" to the model, instead of the customizable models used by player characters. This is very obvious when you compare the Scarlet Crusade meeting in the Inn with the other characters around the outside of the building.
 
−
*Most players (most likely races who were not affiliated with the Alliance during that time) upon entering the zone become humans in appearance. This allows Horde races to interact with Southshore and other places. [[Night elves]] and [[draenei]], who at the time of the escape were not part of the [[Alliance]], are also [[Human Illusion|humans in appearance]]. Since you are technically time traveling, a non-member of the alliance would make no sense at all in that time; this is probably why the effect happens. [[Savory Deviate Delight]] and other items that transform you will remove this effect. Unlike some other illusion, druidic shapeshift forms are visible.
 
−
*As in the other instances of the Caverns, players of the RTS games will surely recognize the musics playing around Hillsbrad.
