Explore WoW #2 - Whispering Forest

West of the Undercity above the small town of Deathknell, is a very curious place - The Whispering Forest. Within the forest, lies an even stranger location a Faerie Ring.

The ring is surrounded by some kind of large mushrooms which eminate a strange glow. The circle of mushrooms remains inactive most of the time, but every few hours a number of Faerie Dragons/Fae Drunk Darters will appear, and surround the circle. The Faerie Dragons will place themselves to face each other and sing a beautiful song, for what reason, remains unknown. Beams of light come from the Faerie Dragons and converge at the middle of the mushroom circle, and the animals of the Whispering Forest come to watch them.

After the strange ritual is complete, the animals and the Faerie Dragons return from wherever it is they came from, their task complete - until they are required again.

If you wish to explore the area yourself you can venture to coordinates 20,68 in Tirisfal Glades.

Explore WoW #1 - Newman's Landing

A suitable location for a first post, a hidden little place called Newman's Landing.

The area itself is located west of Dun Morogh on the coast, and contains a small dilapidated building, a wooden dock area and three Goblin NPCs.

Newman's Landing supposedly shows Alliance characters that appear inside the house for a short period of time when they are created in the character creation screen, but I am unsure if this is still the case. After they're created, the characters are whisked away to their starting location.

 
The only update to the location of note is the addition of the three Goblins, which probably occurred during the Cataclysm expansion.  A search of the web revealed that you can use these Goblins for grinding reputation with the Bloodsail Buccaneers faction, High Admiral "Shelly" Jorrik should grant experience towards the faction after a certain point. The High Admiral can also be used to repair your gear, and sells an assortment of items, none of which are much use.

If you wish to visit Newman's Landing yourself, you can find it located on the coast of western Dun Morogh, pictured in the map below!
