Trollbane Hall vs. Defiler's Den
- Once you enter Arathi Basin through the swirling red instance portal, the Battleground will begin its countdown. Alliance players will appear in the League's camp at Trollbane Hall, located in the northwest of the Basin. Horde players will appear in the southeast of the map in the Defiler's Den.
- Just outside both Trollbane Hall and the Defiler's Den are a graveyard and three roads leading into the rest of Arathi Basin. One road arcs around the western edge of the map, while another circles along the east edge. The third passage cuts through the center of the Basin Along these roads lay the key resource nodes over which you will fight.

This humble bastion is home to the League of Arathor, the valiant organization sworn to support their beleaguered troops by recovering the supplies left behind in Arathi Basin. The proud members of the Alliance begin their supply expedition from the relative safety of the Hall.

Within these cobwebbed halls dwell the Defilers, Forsaken scavengers sent to the basin to scrounge up any and all supplies usable in the effort against the Alliance. As a sworn member of the Horde, you are stationed in the Den to aid the Defilers in their pillaging.

The mightiest of heroes can still fall, but worry not; your spirit will find its way to the nearest graveyard under friendly control. From there, you can rejoin your allies in your quest to supply the army.

Swords and shields are wonderful tools, but the smithy in Arathi Basin has few of these. The more practical forged goods of war -- nails, horseshoes, buttons, hooks, chains, and other such practical metal supplies -- are also extremely necessary on the field of battle. It is these you seek to forage.

The hafts of spears, the barriers lining camps, the structures on the battlefield -- all these items and more require good, solid wood. No army can function without a supply of lumber, and Arathi's mill holds much ripe for the plucking.

Deep within the earth lie veins of minerals both precious and practical. No army can function without a good, solid supply of metal. The stone surrounding it can also hold surprising value upon the battlefield and should not be underestimated. Ample quantities of both can be found in the mines of the basin.

When battles continue for days on end without a resolution in sight, the need for a steady stream of food is imperative. Without it, no amount of steel can win the day. The farm in Arathi holds stores of grain, dried fruits and jerky: a balanced part of a complete breakfast.

|
The care of a trusty battle steed is certainly not easy. Tack can easily be destroyed in battle, and replacements are constantly needed. There are still many such items stored within the basin's stable.
