The Syndicate sent a messenger to Southshore , claiming that they have researched a new spell that is extremely effective against murlocs. They offered to parley with a Southshore representative, trading this new magic for some concessions. Magistrate Maleb did not trust the Syndicate, but the murlocs have been preying on incoming ships and damaging Southshore's economy.
He asked some trustworthy heroes to accompany his agent to the meeting with them. The Syndicate did indeed possess such a spell and were willing to part with it for the right price.
Unfortunately, the Forsaken of Tarrin's Mill ambushed the Syndicate messenger on his way home and tortured the information out of him. High Executor Darthalia sent agents to the rendezvous point to slay both sides and steal the spell for herself, intending to use it to leverage the murlocs into obeying her commands.
Hillsbrad's people are industrious and proud. They work hard to keep their realm in its current, peaceful state, reporting undead and other dangers immediately. They do not tolerate crime of any sort and punishments are brutal.
The locals dress in white, Lordaeron 's traditional color. Each year they celebrate Hordefall , the anniversary of the Second War's end. It borders the sea to the south. They offer a land of rolling green hills and fertile meadows. Rich rainfall creates many arable tracts, and this natural bounty aids Hillsbrad's self-sufficiency. The southern shore is windy but gentle, allowing ships to dock easily at Southshore's harbors. Torn Fin murlocs frequent the shores as well.
Mountain lions , creeper spiders and gray bears roam Hillsbrad's pastoral landscape. The eastern-most areas of the Hillsbrad Foothills including Durnholde Keep and an Alliance naval base may be considered part of the Arathi Highlands , as Warcraft III indicates that Thrall 's camp in a forested area west of Durnholde and east of a river presumably the one east of Southshore in World of Warcraft is within Arathi.
The Highlands may, as a region, run up to this river, although due to Durnholde's inclusion Lordaeron 's domain likely still runs up to Thoradin's Wall. The region around the prison of Durnholde Keep.

Hillsbrad Foothills. View source. History Talk For the pre-Cataclysm zone, see Hillsbrad Foothills Classic. For the town known as Hillsbrad, see Hillsbrad Fields.
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. There are no instanced dungeons or battlegrounds in the foothills, though the Alterac Valley battleground can be found in the nearby Alterac Mountains. In addition, the micro dungeon Purgation Isle can be found here. The Hillsbrad Foothills are home to several characters of note.
At Southshore, Magistrate Henry Maleb seeks aid in the battle against the Syndicate, and Marshal Redpath sends promising adventurers into the Alterac Mountains to slay the vicious ogres that have their holdings there.
In Tarren Mill, Apothecary Lydon attempts to concoct the perfect new plague, and High Executor Darthalia orders agents of the Horde into human lands to show them what's what. It's arguably the single most actively contested region within the game, with the area immediately surrounding Tarren Mill often being a major battlefield. This is due to a meeting point between the Forsaken players reaching level 20 - 25 coming from Silverpine Forest and level 30 Ironforge Dwarf players coming from Wetlands through Arathi Highlands.
This zone should therefore probably be avoided for solo questing or by levels below 20 , especially considering that some max level players of the opposing faction who visit customarily have no qualms about killing characters much lower in level than themselves. Although quests are available here, the area tends to be frequented by individuals whose primary interest is PvP combat on PvP servers.
Having been previously known as "Gankbrad","Pwnshore", and Killsbrad Foothills among others, Hillsbrad was the place for PvP action before the battlegrounds were introduced. It is now once again a peaceful place. However, sometimes Alliance or Horde will venture to the opposing faction's outpost in parties or raids to wreak havoc, especially when the battlegrounds are down. Wowpedia Explore. Main Page All Pages. World of Warcraft. Classic Vanilla I've been searching for awhile for the location where you "discover" it?
Comment by how do i get here. Comment by So why exactly that part of the map the mountain sides appear on Wowhead's map? Comment by Hi, does anyone know how to get here from Kalimdor?
I mean any way of transport here from a Horde city.. Thanks for the info Comment by Elamir Hillsbrad Foothills?
Rather call it Hillsbrad Gankhills. If you have a problem with that go somewhere else for this level range. Comment by In some houses of Southshore house of the butcher and the one of the alchemist the music changes to something which doesn't really fit into this village. It is not exactly the music you hear when you enter Tarren Mill but it is something in that direction. Comment by definitely the hardest zone for questing.. Comment by Ashkir Click this map to get a pathway to the Hinterlands.
Comment by Titan how would a BE Paladin get here? Comment by The average text a leveling horde will see upon entering hillsbrad foothills: Tarren Mill is under attack! Tarren Mill is under attack! Lulzikillu polymorphs you. Lulzikillu's polymorph fades. Lulzikillyou's polymorph fades. Lulzikillu's Fire Blast hits you for You die. Lulzikillu: Bur. Comment by Correct me if I'm wrong, but the nodes in Azurelode Mine can no longer be mined by at least Alliance characters.
Comment by Jetlok Lots of horde hang around Hillsbrad Fields. I love going there when i'm bored and gank. Comment by 1dead Loving the book feature on all the maps now. Comment by Just reading about the changes Cata will bring and the destruction of SS. Truly a sad day for open-world PvP players. Comment by holto97 It hasn't been put on here yet but it turns out that the Hillsbrad Foothills and Alterac Mountains are to be joined in cataclysm.
Comment by great video review. Comment by The Ruins of Alterac are now a paradise for herbalism and mining in the skill range! You can't walk ten feet without stumbling over a tin vein or frozen herb. Comment by The new Hillsbrad Foothills horde side quests are really great and funny.
I strongly suggest you to read the quests and follow the dialogs. Comment by I don't know if this is just me being picky, but this is wowhead and it is missing a rare spawn named creepthess who is a spider and he spawns to the south. Just thought I'd say something to get it off my chest lol.
Comment by jirovidicama hey a new reason for alliance players to be here is the quests of brazie the botanist! Comment by Actually can anyone tell, whats the reason for the Strahnbrad flight path? Comment by socalldimaginary One of the absolute best zones in the game. The quests are all either awesome, hysterically funny, or both. I wish every zone was this badass. Comment by Deathbang Hillsbrad Foothills, as of Cataclysm, is no longer a good questing place for the squeamish.
I can't stress this enough, I'm only about 10 quests in and already I'm getting a little sick to my stomach. I don't consider myself squeamish either. Comment by Seeing as how there are no Alliance cities or flight paths whatsoever in this zone, it may as well be Horde Territory instead of Contested. Comment by JuliaHB Just a note Comment by Immortalsoul Best place for gathering Mageroyal and Briarthorn.
Comment by Stakiyah Anyone know what the point of the Alterac Mountains is now? There don't seem to be any quests there now. Just tin and frozen herbs. Comment by Frassysass You didn't know exactly what you were signing up for when you offered to help out a fellow guildmate who was questing in Hillsbrad. He said there were some Horde causing him grief. As you get closer to landing, your fairly well built computer starts to have issues. Your framerate drops dramatically, and you can hear the CPU grinding away, trying to process what is happening.
What is happening? Seconds go by, which seem like an eternity, where you cannot see or control your character. All you hear are the clashing of weapons and the grinding of teeth. When your computer finally loads the events, you realize you are dead.
