| − | The '''Swamp of Sorrows''' (also once known as the '''Swamps of Sorrow''') is a [[contested territory]] in the southern part of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]]. Among its murk-ridden marshes the green dragonspawn patrol at the behest of their dreaming mistress, [[Ysera]]. The great [[Dragon Aspect]] has warned of a lurking terror within the [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar]], and her loyal servants are determined to protect the land from the emerging doom. |
||
| + | {{Patch 4.2.0|note=Added.}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Overview== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Far distant from civilization, the Swamp of Sorrows is a stagnant marshland of sucking bogs and weeping trees. The ocean seeps into the fen, making the water brackish and ideal for [[alligator]]s and [[crocolisk]]s. Salt deposits encrust fallen logs and protruding rocks. [[Bog beast]]s slog through the interior. Despite these dangers, the [[Horde]] has taken advantage of the region’s distance from [[Stormwind]] to establish a colony on the continent. A flight of green dragons guards the Lost Temple, or [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar]], an ancient troll edifice that channels demonic energy and drives living creatures to madness and violence.<ref name="World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 16">''[[World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 16</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some [[draenei]] were led through the [[Dark Portal]] by a few unknown leaders with the hopes of finding a new life, and have settled in the Swamp Of Sorrows. Unfortunately, most of them were driven mad due to homesickness, and attack all on sight. They routinely sends assassins and saboteurs against the [[orcs]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The orc outpost of [[Stonard]], built during the [[First War]] and rebuilt under [[Thrall]]'s rule, is the only civilized town in the swamp. It serves as a base for the Horde. While being rather isolated from other Horde settlements, it has gained new interest with the re-opening of the Dark Portal. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Yet most of the swamp is dominated by nature. Wild beasts like [[crocolisks]] and [[Swamp Jaguar|jaguars]] hunt for prey, and ancient [[Bog Beasts]] wander through the land. Aggressive [[Murloc]] tribes populate the coast and nearby caves. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Swamp of Sorrows stands on the eastern side of [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]], east of the [[Deadwind Pass]], north of the [[Blasted Lands]] and south of the [[Badlands]]. However, the only foot route to it is through [[Duskwood]], then [[Deadwind Pass]], although it can be noted you can get there from [[Redridge Mountains]] if you climb through the peaks south of [[Render's Valley]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | Originally, the Swamp of Sorrows was the northern part of an enormous swampland called the [[Black Morass]]. After the fall of the [[Gurubashi Empire]], a renegade faction of trolls, the [[Atal'ai]], fled into the swamp and built a large temple, the [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar]]. [[Ysera]] of the green dragonflight learned of their evil plans, drowned the temple into the largest bog, and sent several members of her flight to guard the ruins. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Years later, in the southern part of the Morass, the [[Dark Portal]] was opened, and the [[Horde]] invaded the area. The orcs built two settlements in the Swamp of Sorrows, [[Rockard]] and [[Stonard]]. These towns, and later [[Blackrock Spire]] farther north, were the Horde's main bases during the [[First War]] against the humans. During the war, Rockard was destroyed and Stonard was severely damaged. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With the implosion of the Dark Portal during the [[Second war]], the southern part of the morass was separated and transformed into the barren [[Blasted Lands]]. The implosion left some groups of [[draenei]] on Azeroth, forever changed by the disaster. Most of them went mad from homesickness and the separation from their land, forming the hostile [[Lost Ones]]. A small group, calling themselves [[Broken Exiles]], managed to escape that fate and struggle along. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The northern part of the Black Morass is now called the Swamp of Sorrows and the southern part is the Blasted Lands. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After the [[Warchief]], [[Thrall]], assumed command of the Horde, the old outpost of [[Stonard]] was rebuilt by the orcs to its former glory. Researchers have come to study and exploit ancient magical artifacts, as well as the abundant flora and fauna of the swamp. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Recently, after the crash of the [[Exodar]], some draenei arrived to help their broken cousins, but they decided to stay neutral towards the Horde and remain in the Swamp of Sorrows. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Battle.net map== |
||
| − | {{WC3-section}} |
||
| − | Once a tribe of [[furbolg]]s stubbornly held its own against foul creatures invading the swamp. Unfortunately, they weren't able to hold out long. The tileset is called "Felwood".<ref name="Official Blizzard Warcraft 3 multiplayer maps from the game and its expansion.">'Official Blizzard Warcraft 3 multiplayer maps from the game and its expansion.''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Getting there == |
||
| − | ;{{Alliance Icon Small}}Alliance:From [[Darkshire]], the player can head east through [[Deadwind Pass]] and into the swamp. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ;{{Horde Icon Small}}Horde:The Swamp of Sorrows is vital to some lower level Horde quests, but can be difficult to find. See [[Travel Guide:Reaching the Swamp of Sorrows]] for a detailed guide on how to get here. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ;{{Neutral Icon Small}}Neutral:Alternately for both factions, a player can jump off the [[Thandol Span]] (that separates the [[Wetlands]] from the [[Arathi Highlands]]) into the sea, swim east, then south along the mountainous, impenetrable coast, past the [[Badlands]], [[Burning Steppes]], and the [[Redridge Mountains]] through to the Swamp of Sorrows, and right up to the north end of the [[Misty Reed Strand]]. While it's a very long swim, there are no mobs to deal with (except those in wetlands or Arathi depending on how the player originally got to the span) until the player gets where they need to be to find the crawlers. (Watch for swimming crocs!) |
||
| − | :As another alternative, a player can climb a barely noticeable mountain pass (denoted by vegetation) south of [[Render's Valley]] in the Redridge Mountains, which is ''just'' smooth enough to climb, and at its end, an almost unnoticeable gap in mountains to the west. The player has to be careful not to fall at the other side. |
||
| − | :As a third alternative, since Patch 3.2, a player of at least level 58 can take a [[Portal (city)|Portal]] from any capital city to the [[Dark Portal]] in [[Blasted Lands]]. The player has to avoid the nearby demons and take the road north out of the zone. As they enter the Swamp of Sorrows, [[Stonard]] should be just to the east. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Geography == |
||
| − | The swamp is aptly named, as the water from the ocean estuary encrusts fallen logs and rocks with salt deposits. The road rises mere inches from the water, painstakingly built to allow travel through this wretched area. This stagnant land is made worse by the jaguars, the hulking bog beasts and the crocolisks, manytoothed beasts that lurk at the water’s edge waiting for travelers.<ref name="Lands of Conflict 59">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. 59</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Splinterspear Junction.jpg|thumb|Splinterspear Junction]] |
||
| − | The Swamp of Sorrows contains no raid dungeons or battlegrounds. The [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar]] (aka the Sunken Temple), an instanced dungeon for adventurers levels 50-56, can be found in the eastern part of the zone. [[Sorrowmurk]], east of the Sunken Temple, is a micro-dungeon full of elite [[dragonspawn]]. The orc outpost, [[Stonard]], can also be found in this zone, and is a [[Horde]] travel hub (their nearest one to the [[Dark Portal]]), and the location of the master alchemist trainer. [[Harborage]] is a small village of draenei [[broken]], who deal with both the Horde and the Alliance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although [[Alliance]] has no travel hub in this zone, both [[Darkshire]] and [[Nethergarde Keep]] are valuable alternatives as their locations lets one run to the Swamp without encountering any enemies on the way. |

| − | Swamp of Sorrows is home to several characters of note. At Stonard, [[Fel'zerul]] seeks aid in the battle against the Atal'ai. Near the entrance to the Blasted Lands, the [[Fallen Hero of the Horde]] attempts to cleanse the corruption that stems from a grand demon to the south. And southeast of Stonesplinter Junction, [[Watcher Biggs]] sends bold adventurers into the swamp in search of his lost shipment. At the Harborage in the northwest, [[Anchorite Avuun]] studies the [[Lost Ones]] of Fallow Sanctuary in hopes of curing their condition. |

| − | |||
| − | {{seealso|Swamp of Sorrows questing guide}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Quests in the Swamp of Sorrows are few and far between, stretched out across level 35-55. A few quests in this zone lead to the [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar]], and so merit a visit. For the most part, however, this zone is seldom seen as a prime questing area. |

||
| − | [[Image:WorldMap-SwampOfSorrows-cata.jpg|thumb|The Swamp of Sorrows in Cataclysm]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | In ''[[Cataclysm]]'', Swamp of Sorrows will be a 50-55 zone.<ref>http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/25968836776/current-zone-status/</ref> The [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]] will be fighting siege battles. The Alliance will at last have a proper town in this zone, located on the lakeside near the [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar|Sunken Temple]]. In addition, the coastline that once enclosed the Temple's "lake" is now open to the sea. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Areas affected: |
||
| − | |||
| − | *[[Harborage|The Harborage]]- Has been reinforced with standard Draenei architecture. |
||
| − | *[[Pool of Tears]]- Eastern area of the lake is open to the sea. |
||
| − | * Other- A new Alliance town has been built on the lakeside of the Pool of Tears. A new port is toward the top of the zone. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Inspiration == |
||
| − | The name Swamp of Sorrows is most likely an homage to The Neverending Story's The Swamp of Sadness, where Atreyu loses his horse Artax. |
