The '''Hillsbrad Foothills''' is a large region of the former [[Kingdom of Lordaeron]] and is mostly untouched by the Scourge. This beatiful land is torn by conflict and aggresive expansion of the Forsaken, trying to conquer the whole of Lordaeron for themselves, opposed by dwarves of Stormpike Clan allied with Bloodfang worgen of the Alliance. Its hills are green and pastoral, its meadows fertile and its soil rich. The Forsaken maintain their holdings in [[Tarren Mill]], which is the largest settlement in this region, the dreaded [[Sludge Fields]], where many terrifying experiments are being performed. As the result of their expansion, the humans of [[Southshore]] were driven off to [[Fenris Keep]] in [[Silverpine]] and the town itself devastated by the [[New Plague]].
Note that items from the [[Sanctified Bloodmage's Regalia|Sanctified]] and [[Sanctified Bloodmage's Regalia (heroic)|Sanctified (heroic)]] versions also satisfy the set bonus requirement.

The land also consists of Alterac Mountains and its surroundings, such as [[Dalaran Crater]] and [[Strahnbrad]].

Hillsbrad is traditionally the most blood soaked battlefield on Azeroth, despite its pleasant, pastoral setting. In the [[Second War]], it saw several important skirmishes between [[orc]]s and [[forest troll]]s on one side, and [[human]]s and [[high elves]] on the other. In the [[Third War]], the [[Scourge]] wiped out the human town of [[Tarren Mill]], though later it was claimed as the southernmost holding of the [[Forsaken]] and expanded over the years. The undead have been battling fiercely with the humans of [[Southshore]], until the crushing blow in form of [[New Plague]] was dealt, rendering the town uninhabitable and forcing its inhabitants to flee. Now the expansive Forsaken seek to maintain their holdings in order to conquer the rest of Lordaeron for the Horde.

The northern part of this region are the chilly Alterac Mountains. The ruins of the city of Alterac have been claimed by a tribe of [[ogre]]s, and the majestic city of [[Dalaran]] was annihilated by the demon lord [[Archimonde]] during the [[third war]]. The Dalaran mages warred against the Forsaken while they rebuilt their city, only to move the city to Northrend via powerful magic. What little [[Alliance]] activity is left in the region is centered around [[Dalaran Crater]] and the "four fingers" of Alterac, where the [[Stormpike]] with the aid of their new [[Bloodfang]] allies seek to drive out the Forsaken.

Though the rest of [[Lordaeron]] was ravaged by the Scourge and twisted into a haunted perversion of its former self, the Hillsbrad Foothills largely managed to escape this fate. It remains the best preserved region of the fallen kingdom, giving travelers a feeling for what the land was like before the Plague. Yet the destructive efforts of the Forsaken threaten this land with devastation. Pine trees dot the ample farmland, and the rolling pastures are frequently crisscrossed with roads leading to the gloomy Forsaken settlements. A river flowing from [[Darrowmere Lake]] in the [[Western Plaguelands]] runs north to south. There are a few small, empty islands off the southern coast, and one larger one, [[Purgation Isle]].

History

Hillsbrad is traditionally the most blood soaked battlefield on Azeroth, despite its pleasant, pastoral setting. In the Second War, it saw several important skirmishes between orcs and forest trolls on one side, and humans and high elves on the other. In the Third War, the Scourge wiped out the human town of Tarren Mill, though later it was claimed as the southernmost holding of the Forsaken and expanded over the years. The undead have been battling fiercely with the humans of Southshore, until the crushing blow in form of New Plague was dealt, rendering the town uninhabitable and forcing its inhabitants to flee. Now the expansive Forsaken seek to maintain their holdings in order to conquer the rest of Lordaeron for the Horde.

The northern part of this region are the chilly Alterac Mountains. The ruins of the city of Alterac have been claimed by a tribe of ogres, and the majestic city of Dalaran was annihilated by the demon lord Archimonde during the third war. The Dalaran mages warred against the Forsaken while they rebuilt their city, only to move the city to Northrend via powerful magic. What little Alliance activity is left in the region is centered around Dalaran Crater and the "four fingers" of Alterac, where the Stormpike with the aid of their new Bloodfang allies seek to drive out the Forsaken.

The Sludge Fields

The Sludge Fields

Though the rest of Lordaeron was ravaged by the Scourge and twisted into a haunted perversion of its former self, the Hillsbrad Foothills largely managed to escape this fate. It remains the best preserved region of the fallen kingdom, giving travelers a feeling for what the land was like before the Plague. Yet the destructive efforts of the Forsaken threaten this land with devastation. Pine trees dot the ample farmland, and the rolling pastures are frequently crisscrossed with roads leading to the gloomy Forsaken settlements. A river flowing from Darrowmere Lake in the Western Plaguelands runs north to south. There are a few small, empty islands off the southern coast, and one larger one, Purgation Isle.

The Alterac Valley battleground can be found in the zone.
