Hellfire Peninsula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hellfire Peninsula is a fictional area in the Warcraft Universe. It is in outland and one of the few surviving areas of Draenor, the rest having been destroyed when Ner'zhul's portals tore apart the planet. Hellfire Peninsula is where the Hellfire Citadel was located in Warcraft 2 and is where many of the battles between Khadgar's Alliance and Ner'zhul's Horde clashed. It is also the location of the Dark Portal and the arena of the battles between Illidan and the local tyrant Magtheridon.

Hellfire Peninsula is also home to the two new factions, Thrallmar (for Horde) and Honor Hold (for Alliance). It is also home to three new dungeons, Hellfire Citadel - Hellfire Ramparts(60-62), Hellfire Citadel - The Blood Furnace(61-63) and Hellfire Citadel - The Shattered Halls(70+). A raid dungeon, simliar to Onxyia's Lair is present too, called Hellfire Citadel - Magtheridon's Lair(70+).

Blizzard has announced that Hellfire Citadel will be the first easiest instance in the burning crusade expansion for World of Warcraft.
