This marsh, located on Kalimdor’s eastern side contains the island city of Theramore settled by refugees who followed Jaina Proudmoore across the Great Sea from Lordaeron. The city was damaged in a battle with Thrall’s Orcs who were defending their homeland against attack by a faction led by Jaina’s father, Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore. Jania sided with Thrall in the battle as she was unable to convince her father that the Orcs were no longer the blood thirsty barbarians they once were. Out of gratitude, Thrall spared Theramore and its people and signed a mutual non-offense pact with the young sorceress. Theramore is the Alliance port for southern Kalimdor with boats frequently hailing from Menethil Harbor in the east with trade goods.

The rest of Dustwallow Marsh is nothing but stinking, murky swampland. Giant spiders, immense crocodiles, viscous oozes and raptors populate the region and more than one trade caravan or low flying zeppelin has disappeared into the muck. The southern regions are called “The Wyrmbog” where the Black Dragons hold sway. Their brood queen, Onyxia, has her lair here and only the brave (or the foolish) dare venture close.
