Hinterlands storyline

Zone map

The Hinterlands are a level 10-30 contested zone. Both Alliance and Horde players arrive here from a tunnel in the Arathi Highlands, but after that, their directions diverge. At first, the factions deal with the rivalry between the Wildhammer clan and Revantusk tribe; eventually, they discover a cult of spider-worshiping Vilebranch trolls in Jintha'Alor and summon and defeat their deity, Shadra the Venom Queen.

The progress for the storyline is tracked in the achievement  [Hinterlands Quests].

Once players have concluded the storyline, they are directed to the Western Plaguelands.
