The Un’Goro Crater was formed many years ago when a meteor slammed into the region between the deserts of Tanaris and Silithus. The great rock is deep beneath the surface of what is now called Fire Plume Ridge in the center of the region. Fire Elementals bask in the heat of the area making Fire Plume Ridge mildly volcanic. There are two ways into the Crater. The first is a hidden path from southwestern Tanaris. The second is to jump or climb down, neither of which come highly recommended. The only other way out is a mountain path in the northwest of the Crater that leads to Silithis.

Generally speaking, Un’Goro Crater is the land time forgot. Dinosaurs as tall as guard towers run freely and there are species of plants in Un’Goro that cannot be found anywhere else on Azeroth. The Cenarion Circle has taken a great interest in the soil here finding it to have magical properties on plants outside the Crater. Differing from its desert neighbors, Un’Goro is a venerable rain forest with precipitation lasting days at a time. There are freshwater Marshlands to the east and hot springs to the west. Raging dinosaurs hunt in the south near the Slithering Scar and to the north, the deep Lakkari Tar Pits bubble with the fossilized remains of creatures that wandered too deeply inside. Curious crystal formations of varying color can be found here and there. The region is certainly an untamed land ripe in resources. But the constant threat of the dinosaurs keep even Venture Co. away from this place.

There was an expeditionary group sent to Un’Goro but the violent attacks of the dinosaurs have sent them northward to what is now called the Marshal’s Refuge. They plan to continue their work despite the setbacks.
