East of the Great Lift, atop three small mesas (and several smaller, not inhabited mesas), is Darkcloud Pinnacle, a settlement that the Grimtotem tauren call home. These mesas are connected by rope bridges and have only two access points: a natural slope up a fourth mesa followed by a trip across a bridge, or another bridge from Razorfen Downs in Thousand Needles. Both entrances are well guarded.
It is here that a secret correspondence between Grimtotem leaders and an unknown dark power takes place. The leaders of the Grimtotems here are Arnak Grimtotem and Harb Foulmountain. The entry path from the base begins at [31.3, 37].
Aramar Thorne described its location as being located on one of the largest mesa in the area.[1]
Legion
During the Burning Legion's third invasion, the Pinnacle was attacked by demons and Magatha Grimtotem sought help from the Earthen Ring who eventually defeated the Legion.[2]
In the RPG
It is classified as a village with 450 inhabitants. A bridge from the Barrens leads here.[3]
Notes
- This area was planned to be available in the Southern Barrens warfront.
