Southern Barrens storyline

Zone map

The Southern Barrens is a neutral zone for level 30-35 Horde and Alliance players. It focuses on the Alliance vs. Horde conflict, with each faction's quests giving a different view of the events that play out.

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

The Southern Barrens quests lead to the Dustwallow Marsh storyline; Feralas and Western Plaguelands are same-level alternatives.
