Darkwhisper Gorge was an area in the far south of Winterspring which consisted of a network of tunnels and chasms. This area was inhabited by elite demons of an approximate five-man difficulty, although easily solable by a level 80.
Darkwhisper Gorge
This treacherous cavern laid along Winterspring Valley's southern slope. Poisonous green vapours bubbled out of acid pools deep within the bottom of the gorge. Malevolent sounds echoed from a cave at the furthest end of the gorge, leading some night elves to believe that demons may have taken refuge in the toxic depths.[1] (WRPG 213)
The demons in this area were important to a number of quests, unlike their Blasted Lands counterparts.
Notes of interest

- The Hederine demons which inhabited this area dropped [Tears of the Hederine], a quest item for the warlock quest

- Additionally, the Hederine Slayers and the Hederine Initiates had a very small chance (0.5%) to drop [The Eye of Shadow], a quest item in the epic priest quest to obtain [Benediction].
- An imp, Vi'el, lived in a cave in the Gorge. Among other “exotic reagents", he sold several items of particular note:
