What is the green zone north of the plaguelands?

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

It's in a gulch, and it's green like a greenscreen, flat, devoid of features. What is up with that?

its called undeveloped terrain that wasn't supposed to be accessible to players, from a time before flying.

Those are the fields where the challenging and engaging raid mechanics for Classic are grown. See that they lay barren.

It's northern plaguelands I believe.

I'm pretty sure they talked about it in one of the interviews about classic, before it came out.

It obviously just never got developed.

Ha, I gotta hand it to you, that was pretty good.

[Pakheth]

It's kinda funny when you fly over it as it places you in a very specific place in your map description. Quel'thalas I believe.

[Orby]

A part of its supposed to be more of stratholme, Stratholme is supposed to have a harbour like stormwind.

Says here...

Even though the city was originally described as a port town in Warcraft II, there is no harbor present in-game in World of Warcraft or in its original Warcraft III depiction. Chronicle added a bay right next to Stratholme, confirming the city had a connection to the sea, and Reforged revamped the The Culling mission to add a harbor. In the harbor, Arthas confronted Mal'Ganis who taunted him to come to Northrend. Later, corpses were loaded on the ships.

Looks like Blizzard never added it for whatever reason, but known how unfinished Vanilla WoW was on launch I am guessing they didn't have enough time.

Original Quel'thalas is up there too.

wit on the internet? a unicorn to behold, to be certain

[Selastan]

It's the land that Lord Prestor (Deathwing in disguise) claimed Lordship of.

I wish this were reddit because this post deserved gold lol

[Ardenaso]

If that land gets its debut I want some major lore tidbits like the Grain Caravan from WC3 and the villages it crossed

well in WC2 Stratholme was a port city

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Land that will never be used.

Happy to entertain

Very early maps of WoW has the Dragon Isles close to the shores of Northern Lordaeron. The actual zone could be human/elven themed, considering that its bordering to Quel'thalas and the ruins in-game also says that you enter Quel'thalas. Stratholme could also make up for a huge aprt of the zone, and its supposed to have a harbor as seen in WC2 and WC3: Reforged.

on the chronicles map the area is divided into two halves, one controlled by quelthalas and the other by lordaeron

[Ardenaso]

well yeah I'm more inclined that's the place where the villages the Grain Caravan crossed in WC3

I hope when we get to visit the Dragon Isles that they’re up in the sky rather than on the sea

[Soon-TM]

It was supposed to be a part of Quel'thalas, which was cut off by launch (or rather delayed until BC, if you want to get technical). There are lots of those unused zones in Vanilla, Aszhara being perhaps the most remarkable example. Not that that's something bad, Aszhara is one of my favourite places in Classic

I was under the impression that the Grain Caravan had made all the way from Brill to Stratholme. In pre Cata Brill, you can still see some discarded wheat sacks lying down here and there, ditto for pre Cata WPL
