The '''Redridge Mountains''', or the '''Red Ridge Mountains''', are located east of [[Elwynn Forest]], northeast of [[Duskwood]], and south of the [[Burning Steppes]]. Although it may be considered to be [[contested]], [[Horde]] characters have no settlements or NPCs and it is thus a place they use mostly for passing through to reach [[Flame Crest]] or [[Stonard]].

Aman now briefly appears near [[Remtravel's Excavation]] in the [[Wetlands]]. This time, he is projected from a visible device. He sounds much more mechanical this time, and accesses the status of Remtravel's Excavation and the [[Master's Glaive]] area.

An idyllic region of rushing rivers, towering elms and rising elevations, the Redridge Mountains are under [[Stormwind|Stormwind's]] protection (though since the second war it is technically independent), and remain one of the last peaceful regions in [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]]. The people are content and calm, and supply Stormwind with timber, fish, and crops. A force of [[Blackrock]] orcs from the Burning Steppes has secured [[Stonewatch Keep]], but so far the orcs keep to themselves.<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 16">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 16</ref> In comparison with Westfall, Redridge is still relatively stable.

On the northern bank of [[Lake Everstill]] is the [[Alliance]] town of [[Lakeshire]], the central hub for this faction's adventurers, offering many services and quests, as well as [[flight path]]s. As the town is under constant siege by [[gnoll]]s and [[Blackrock Clan|Blackrock]] [[orc]]s, adventurers should use extreme caution around this town.

The crossroads known as the [[Three Corners]], located in the southwest corner of the zone, connects the town of Lakeshire with Elwynn, Duskwood and, via the Lakeridge Highway, also the Stonewatch Keep. The highway itself is quite a dangerous place occupied by [[dragon whelp]]s, [[gnolls]], [[murloc]]s, and wild animals. There are also a few camps located in Redridge — an orc camp in [[Render's Valley]], Shadow Hide gnoll camps near the Tower of Ilgalar, and murloc camps near the lake. While the lake's surface appears peacefully enough, murlocs reside beneath the waves, and rumours of sightings of a sea monster persist.

The Redridge Mountains are old mountains. Before the [[First War]], [[Lakeshire]] was not the besieged place it is now, nestled in a nook in the rugged peaks at the bank of the lake as it is. It was protected from gnolls and bandits by Azerothian militia who were stationed at [[Stonewatch]], as well as the benevolent mage Ilgalar.

With the coming of the orcs, however, things changed rapidly. Many of Redridge's finest men were sent to battle the coming of the [[Horde]] and never returned. Stonewatch became vulnerable with its main forces on the front, and when it caught the attention of the [[Blackrock Clan|Blackrock]] clan, it was not long before a siege was underway. Although the soldiers of Redridge battled as well as they could, in the end, they could not resist capture. Both the tower and the keep was taken, and soon after, [[Ilgalar]] the [[mage]] was attacked by a rival mage.{{fact}} Ilgalar was more powerful than the evil [[Morganth]]{{fact}}, but [[Morganth]] had enslaved a tribe of gnolls to do his bidding, and Ilgalar could not defeat them all. Once Ilgalar was dead, [[Morganth]] took possession of his tower, and set his sights west, to the next rivaling wizard at the [[Tower of Azora]] in Elwynn.

The region around Lakeshire is now heavily contested, and the bridge connecting the town to the rest of the kingdom was recently attacked and almost destroyed. Desperate, the people of Redridge seek help from outside sources, recruiting any adventurer that stops by to help in the defense of the region.

The Redridge Mountains are home to several humans of note, the great bulk of which reside in Lakeshire. At the fallen bridge [[Marshal Marris]] sends promising young humans to eradicate the clusters of Shadowhide gnolls and Blackrock orcs who have taken a chokehold on the land. He is assisted in his efforts by [[Verner Osgood]], who also seeks to rid Redridge of the vile Redridge gnolls. And at the Lakeshire Town Hall, the aging [[Magistrate Solomon]] recruits adventures to seek help from Stormwind's other bastions of civilization like Stormwind City, Sentinel Hill, and Darkshire. Stormwind City seems to have abandoned Lakeshire to fend for itself like it did to Darkshire and Sentinel Hill. Both these towns say they cannot help Lakeshire due to their own overwhelming problems.

Aman is a friendly level 50 giant humanoid projection who briefly appears in Remtravel's Excavation in Darkshore.

He appears after completion of A [24] The Absent Minded Prospector (5).

Cataclysm

Aman now briefly appears near Remtravel's Excavation in the Wetlands. This time, he is projected from a visible device. He sounds much more mechanical this time, and accesses the status of Remtravel's Excavation and the Master's Glaive area.
