Splinterspear Junction is where the main road into the Swamp of Sorrows splits. The north branch will take you past the Harborage and to the Fallow Sanctuary, while the southern branch will take you to Stonard and the path to the Blasted Lands. An old orcish watch tower sits there and the area is regularly patrolled by Horde guards, so Alliance adventurers are advised to keep their eyes open when traveling the roads. The guards are PvP tagged.
History
During the First War, this location was home to the orcish outpost of Kyross.[1] As the closest Horde outpost to the human township of Grand Hamlet, the Kingdom of Stormwind sent war parties in the Swamp in order to destroy it.[2] Lieutenant Blake Godwyn, an officer originating from Lordaeron, fell in one of those battles and was buried here alongside his ancestral sword.[1]
