Shatterspear Vale (original)

Shatterspear Vale is a small village inhabited by trolls of the Shatterspear tribe. Shatterspear trolls are to the Horde and  to the Alliance.

The village can be seen from the hippogryph when flying to or from Nighthaven in Moonglade. The settlement is in the mountains between Darkshore, Moonglade, Felwood, and Winterspring, and is practically unreachable by normal means of travelling. It is situated in Darkshore geographically.

The levels of the trolls vary between 52 to 58, they can be engaged by the Alliance (but not the Horde) ,and give experience and loot when killed. Some trolls also dance and seem to be celebrating some kind of festivity. Aside from the main populace, there are four notable characters, including Una Ji'ro, Jory Zaga, Krah'ranik, and Voriya. A tauren head can be seen hanging by a rope stake on their dancefloor.

Beside a handful amount of troll huts, there is a cave with uninteractable tablets within. A waterfall falls into the main feature of the village — the gray-blue lake. The village is divided into two parts, separated by the small river one can cross using the bridge.

Cataclysm
Shatterspear Vale became an accesible subzone of Darkshore in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, connected to the rest of the zone by the Shatterspear Pass. The night elves are now fighting the Shatterspear trolls. The status of the vale after the Shattering can be seen in the Shatterspear Vale article.
