The sprawling Borean Tundra lays at the far southwestern tip of Northrend, the icy continent also known as the roof of the world.

Kaskala, located in the Borean Tundra is the capital of the Tuskarr and offers members of both the Alliance and Horde a neutral place to stop and rest from the harsh conditions of the Tundra, while also offering traders from both factions a chance to negotiate deals with the local Tuskarr. Though recently it has come under serious attack by hordes of Vrykul warriors and the once sprawling villiage has become a battlefield.

With the Horde turning its interest north, Garrosh Hellscream, son of former Warsong Chieftain Grom Hellscream, has founded the fortress of Warsong Hold. Garrosh and his Orc forces have also discovered the enigmatic Taunka, an ancient offshoot of the Tauren race that up until now had been thought lost forever. From the fortress of Warsong Hold, a travel hub has been set up to allow for quicker transportation between the Hold and their new found allies, the Taunka.

Elsewhere within the Tundra, the Alliance have founded Valiance Keep. Making use of the Valiance Keep’s location, a dock has been constructed that will grant seafaring access from the Borean Tundra directly into the heart of Stormwind at its recently constructed harbor.

To the north west of the zone sits The Nexus, home to Malygos the Spellweaver and his Blue Dragonflight. There Malygos sits waiting for any would be heroes to venture into his domain seeking to put a rest to his plans that involve neutralizing all magic casters in the known world.

Alliance Gnomes have setup a forward airbase flying recon missions and providing air support for the ground forces north of a Taunka settlement that is being frantically evacuated due to rising numbers of scourge and the melting snow. Vrykul have all but annihilated the Naga in the area, DEHTA’s anti-Nessigwary forces have a presence in the zone as well.

The tuskarr capital is a collection of villages, none of them with more than 400 people but clustered so close together they create one larger unit.
