Northern Stranglethorn storyline

Zone map

Northern Stranglethorn is a level 20-25 zone in southern Eastern Kingdoms for both the Horde and Alliance. It starts out separated, with the Alliance going to the Rebel Camp in the north and the Horde going to Grom'gol Base Camp on the western coast. The overarching story for the whole zone revolves around a Lashtail Hatchling. Nesingwary and his crew still offer the quests involving hunting the local wildlife. (Tigers, and Panthers, and Raptors, Oh My!)

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