Split from the top half of the barrens after the Shattering, the Alliance have made military inroads. Southern Barrens is another war-torn zone worth doing on both sides.It tracks the fate of a lethal Horde bomb-the Alliance are desperately trying to intercept it, while not everyone in the Horde is pleased how the bomb is being handled. It's fairly low-level, so it's worth doing on alts of both factions to get a fuller sense of the storyline. Stonetalon Mountains, formerly a haphazard and dull questing zone, has been transformed into a tense storyline for both the Horde and Alliance.While evidence of these two conflicts can be seen in most any zone, a few stand out that are worth completing. In addition, tensions between the Alliance and Horde are high. Kalimdor was seriously hit by the Shattering, with many coastal areas flooded and others up in flames. But there's still something for everyone, whether you're interested in completing Loremaster or just want a fun diversion from heroics and Firelands. Some old favorites were removed in Cataclysm-from small chains like saving Trey Lightforge in Felwood, to epic chains like Fallen Hero of the Horde.
