A steaming swamp that hides Theramore, Onyxia’s lair and the long-sealed prison of Alcaz Island.
Dustwallow Marsh is an ancient, ever-wet swamp on Kalimdor’s eastern coast, thick with crocolisks, raptors and murlocs. Off its shore stands Theramore Isle, the stronghold-city Jaina Proudmoore founded for the survivors who followed her west; the Horde answers from Brackenwall Village at the marsh’s edge. In the south, black dragons infest the Wyrmbog around the lair of Onyxia.
Rumours have long clung to Alcaz Island, whose prison was said to hold high-ranking captives, even King Varian Wrynn. In Forever its doors finally open, revealing the Defias Brotherhood and naga at war inside.
