Hellfire Peninsula » Zones » WoW Armory Light

Hellfire Peninsula is one of the surviving parts of Draenor. It is a pivotal area of Outland that has been the location of many of the most brutal battles in Warcraft history. This is where the other side of the Dark Portal is located. Two of its past cities include Hellfire Citadel and Zeth'kur. The Alliance settlement  where you will start your adventures in The Burning Crusade is called Honor Hold, the Horde settlement's name is Thrallmar. 

As its name implies, Hellfire Peninsula is a grim place. In regards to topography, well, there isn't much. Aesthetically, the ground looks like it does in Durotar: reddish in hue, and hard-packed. There is one key exception, though — when you travel on the ground, you note bones cracking and shattering beneath your feet. These would be the remains of the countless draenei that the blood-crazed orcs systematically slaughtered prior to bringing their war to Azeroth.

In the Hellfire Citadel four dungeons are located:

• Hellfire Ramparts
• The Blood Furnance
• The Shattered Halls
• Magtheridon's Lair 

Additionally, the zone offers open PVP by conquering three strategic points near th Hellfire Citadel: Broken Hill, The Overlook and The Stadium.
