Crestfall



Crestfall is a large island off Kul Tiras' northeast coast. It is part of the nation of Kul Tiras. Crestfall is a sizable community of boaters and fishermen.

Crestfall first came into importance during the Second War when the tides of darkness descended on Lordaeron and the members of the Alliance. When Alterac was destroyed, the orcish armies in the north staged a massive retreat. Admiral Proudmoore sent word that gnomish submarines had located the Horde's main naval base near Crestfall. Proudmoore believed that the orcs planned to launch the remainder of their armada and retreat to the mainland of Azeroth. Lord Lothar ordered the base at Crestfall to be destroyed before the fleet could escape. This was known as the Battle at Crestfall.

After the Third War, several groups of naga started plaguing the island. The riflemen are constantly on guard from them, and have nearly shot friendly visitors in fear. Rumors abound that a large naga force under a warlord called Zethresh, hides near Crestfall's west shore. Zethresh reputedly seeks to cleanse the ocean and the isles of human encroachment.
