I've decided to make a new region, in the zone now called "Quel'Thalas", the northern coast of Lordaeron (now fully selectable in game as region and viewable in the overrall azeroth map, i'm working on the zone map, soon screenies)
The zone is accessible from Hearthglen, Western Plaguelands (near the tower, starts a path in the mountains), Plaguewood (a mountain pass) Tirisfal Glade (swimming)
Northeron divided between four factions:
-Scarlet Crusade (Hearthglen Harbor)
-New Lordaeron (Northolme Village)
-High Elves (Dawnstrider Harbor)
-Scourge (Banewood Marshes / Stratholme sewers (brand new instance)
-Elementals (Voidheart Mansion -new instance)
-Wilhammer Dwarf (isle of Thor'Kargas)
-Wrykul (attacking the wildhammer isle)
This will be the starting zone for the new race on my server, the High Elves (not really new, but now avaiable)
now, it's lore time (not really xD)
You start on the eastern part of the banewood marsh, on a ship wrecked on the coast, you can see the ghostland over the sea, you did it!
you and few survivors are finally free from the magical thirst, embracing the power of Sideros (god of the stars, check my server lore) you've found a new source of power... but is not over yet!
The first task is to cross the banewood marsh, where hordes of scourge wander, flowing out from Stratholme (of wich you can see the outer wall burning...) ralliyng the survivors and completing some task you finally reached
Dawnstrider Harbor, the city of the High Elves (reaching level 7-8 at this point), where you must earn your stay! helping villagers and hunting creatures, until a human of the new lordaeron arrives, asking for help!, the commander has no choiche but to send you to the small village of Northolme, main harbor of the New Lordaeron forces, you're welcome here... (and here you should be at level 12-14)
... but not safe! the scarlet crusade is coming to attack the town from one side and the scourge from the other one!
you MUST defend the town, the humans who opened their arms to help you must be helped back!
Repelling the attack is not hard, and eventually you managed to do it (level 15-16)
the lordaeron commander Alestorm sought in you something of valor, and you are chosen to help a counter-attack! this time the Scarlet crusade will loose Hearthglen Harbor once and for all! (completing the prologue will bring you to level 20)
This is the prologue of the High Elf, at the end of wich you're sent to Soutshore to report to King Ralean Trollbane (the son of Galen) at Stromgarde City, becoming a part of the alliance, and the prologue is all set in an instanced copy of this map (on the normal map Hearthglen Harbor is already of the alliance and the whole zone is a high-level one)
Screens time!

Crossroad from Northolme to Dawnstrider Harbor and Western Plaguelands
Hearthglen Harbor 100% done (added some cranes, the dock and more details)
Ramkin's Farmstead, i made this farmstead (with a lumbermill behind) to fill a dead space between the Highlands and the Western Plaguelands, perharps i will add a new questline similar to the Saldean one at Westfall [i'm going to swap the fence model, i used the same of Hearthglen Harbor but i'll swap it in taliis eventually]
