World Of Warcraft Cataclysm Preview: The Echo Isles
Blizzard Entertainment has updated its official
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm website with a preview of changes to the Echo Isles and the introductory questing experience for trolls that will be based there. The new content includes new lore and artwork from the area.
The Echo Isles is the original home of the Darkspear Trolls and, as such, the tribal race is planning to take it back in Cataclysm. Anyone starting a new Troll character after the launch of the expansion will begin in this zone, located off the coast of Durotar. They'll be tasked with protecting their village and the Raptor hatchlings from a nearby Sea Witch, and killing off the local Naga.
As the Darkspear trolls prepare to invade the
Echo Isles and reclaim the land bestowed upon them by Thrall, we bring you a first look at these islands as they will exist in
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. After Zalazane’s fall, a dramatic discord within the Horde leadership will usher in a new era for the Darkspears as they will once again call the Echo Isles home. And this time Vol’jin refuses to run.
The new Troll starting area will be for levels 1-5, and you will initially tasked with protecting the local raptors and their hatchlings from the sorcery of a nearby sea witch, slaying beasts that prey on our fellow tribe members and assaulting the naga who have overrun part of the isle.
