Lore
Stranglethorn was the heartland of the Gurubashi Empire, which was split by civil war after priests invoked the blood god Hakkar. Zandalari forces defeated Hakkar atop his shrine in Zul'Gurub, a vine-covered temple city, and the surviving Atal'ai priests built a temple in the Swamp of Sorrows.
Booty Bay was once a human port overrun by trolls, until goblins of the Steamwheedle Cartel drove them out. It is a pirate port, and the Bloodsail Buccaneers are archenemies of its Blackwater Raiders.
