Accessible through the Charred Vale to the north and Feralas to the south, Desolace is a dead land of dust and petrified trees. Experts speculate that Desolace was once a thriving forest land with fresh water streams but after the Sundering, the land withered and died. The Alliance maintains a base in the north called Nijel’s Point. This is the only place in Desolace where grass will still grow. There is no doubt that the Moon Well here is the source of the incongruity.

In the center of Desolace lies the Kodo Graveyard, an area sacred to the Tauren. For some unknown reason, all Kodos come here when they feel it is their time to die. Watching over them is the Horde base, Ghostwalker Post. The Satyr hold a small area to the northeast called Sargeron and the Burning Blade reside in Thunder Axe Fortress. Four tribes of centaur call Desolace home, the Gelkis, the Kolkar, the Maraudine and the Magram. The tribes do not get along, a fact that the Horde and the Alliance try to use to their mutual advantage. The Naga swim along the western shoreline and the submerged Kel’Dorei ruins all the way out to Ranzajar Isle in the north. The caves of Maraudon lie west of the Kodo Graveyard but adventurers must get past the Maraudine centaurs if they wish to explore its depths. The only other holding of note is the troll controlled Shadowprey Village to the south.

The last and most deadly location in Desolace is the Mannoroc Coven. The Burning Blade have summoned many demons to this area and the land around it is now cursed. If you pass this way, and manage to avoid the demons, there is a pass through the mountains to the forest of Feralas filled with centaur.
