High Elves
If there's Half Elves, shouldn't we add High Elves? Mr.X8 23:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
They don't necessarily, but still it's not like some of the Half-Elf population was born there by a High Elf Mr.X8 01:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- It can mean several things, half-elves moved there later, or they born to humans living there and high elves that were just passing through, one night stands and whatever. Just because a population lives in one place doesn't mean their parents lived there. Also it should be noted that if Brann didn't bring up a specific population, its probably because the population was negligible to begin with, extremely low numbers or none at all, or too violent for him to get close enough to count.Baggins 01:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Still, realistically there could be High Elves there, even though it might just be a family or two. That's all I was trying to say. Mr.X8 20:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I was just about to post the same for Orcs.Same reason.--User:Airiph/sig 21:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well one thing its stated that high elves generally abandon their half-elf children at birth, and despise them throughout life. So they don't really have "families" per se. they usually grow up with their human parents who are less biased towards them, or taken care of by other half-elves.
- In anycase even if there were one or two families in all of Hillsbrad it wouldn't be enough to include on the demographics chart. Not to mention 1 or 2 would be far less than 1% of the population, and wouldn't have fit Brann's rounded figures where he only included races that made up at least 1% of the population or better in an area.Baggins 22:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- As for the half-orcs the story is a bit different. Most are products of human/orc relations during internment camp years, for love or forced. After the Third War most orcs had moved out of Hillsbrad, but many half-orcs remained behind with their human family members or whatever. Yes, brann speaks of there being one small group of eight orcs living in Hillsbrad inside an abandoned tower, however since they are less than 1% of the population of Hillsbrad, he didn't count them on his demographic list (which he only counts primary large groups, making up at least 1% of the population, that he could count.) Also by the time he learned about them, they had moved to the Hinterlands (he doesn't count them in the demographics there, either, as only 8 individuals would be far less than 1% of the population).Baggins 22:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Capital?
Isn't Hillsbrad city the Alliance capital in the region? (and therefore the capitol of Lordaeron?)
User:Scarlet_Inquisitor_Zeth 19:43, 6 January (GTM +1)
- Nope Southshore is, according to the Alliance Player's Guide and Lands of Conflict.Baggins (talk) 06:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Ruler & affilation
I think we should say that this is a contested zone,as the Forsaken are acting very well in conquering the zone.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Malygos Helper (talk · contr).
Zone Changes
I know that this zone is heavily changed, but how come not very much others are updated? Hallowseve (talk) 18:16, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's because I hadn't time to rewrite all the pages. I plan to update more of them sometime in this week, if I won't have anything important to do. -- User:Matix/sign 18:41, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- ... its only been a week...

Comic
Whats the context of the comic calling the area "Old Hillsbrad"? Xporc (talk) 11:47, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- It's a line where it says where the characters are: "Old Hillsbrad. Southshore Inn, Days Later." --Mordecay (talk) 12:13, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- Isn't it just referencing the Old Hillsbrad Foothills area/timeline then? Xporc (talk) 09:49, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
Stormpike forces
People keep trying to paint all alliance forces being wiped out in the area, This is pure fabrication. As of the events of the third legion invasion of azeroth, There's plenty of stormpike forces in the area who fight against the legion. In fact, Various NPC's who are supposed to have died during the Hillsbrad storyline are present during the legion invasion of hillsbrad. The third legion invasion is three expansions after cataclysm, Thus i think it's only logical to state that either the hillsbrad questline as of cataclysm isn't Canon, The legion invasions across azeroth aren't canon, Or blizzard enjoys contradicting themselves. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Desolace (talk · contr).
- Welcome to World of Blizzard, in which everyday is a contradiction itself. And not, it is not pure fabrication, if you read
[7-30] Stormpike Apocalypse, you'll see they say the Alliance was expelled from Hillsbrad. The Legion Invasions "retconned" a lot of things, like deceased people returning as if nothing had happened and alike. Probably the quest designers used the Cataclysm zones as they were before ending the storylines in them. So in this case we say they were expelled as the quest says, but they somehow returned three expansions later. --Ryon21 (talk) 11:42, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- And even then, all that quest did was drive them back into Alterac Valley, which is literally a just single tunnel away from coming back into Hillsbrad. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:05, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
