Tol Barad Cataclysm PvP

Tol Barad is an island located south of Hillsbrad Foothills and west of the Wetlands, located in the middle of Baradin Bay. The island serves as a new outdoor PvP zone for level 84-85 players. The island is the site of a power struggle between both the Horde and the Alliance for control over the prison on the island.

Tol Barad will be similar to Wrath of the Lich King’s Wintergrasp. The prison itself is told have many secrets and treasures hidden within that both the Horde and Alliance want. The major plus to controlling the prison is that it will also function as the major daily quest hub much like The Burning Crusade’s Isle of Quel’Danas.

• A mix of Wintergrasp and Isle of Quel’Danas, with PvP objectives and daily quests.
• Players will have to capture control points – whoever gets them all, wins the match.
• There will be daily quests for everybody (winner or loser), special daily quests for the winner, and a raid instance for the winner as well.
• The zone will award Tol Barad Marks of Honor, just like Wintergrasp. You will also be able to earn Guild Achievements & Experience there.
• There will be a sort of forced faction equality. There will be a queue system so if 40 of one faction, and 70 of the other queue, the battle will favor 40 v 40.

History

During the Second War, it was an island citadel of Stromgarde. The island was also the site of a fierce battle between the Horde and Alliance. The Horde, having already conquered most of the dwarven lands, were preparing to strike out into the northern kingdom of Lordaeron. At the time, the island was being used as a staging point to strike back at orc raiders. In response, Orgrim Doomhammer releaseed an invasion of the island. Overwhelmed early in the war by the orcs, no life more complex than a few hardy weeds and insects survived the Horde’s bloody victory. An aura of death seemed to radiate from the island,^[1] and the original fortress was razed to the ground. Tol Barad became a frightening symbol of the Horde’s merciless tenacity and barbarity.

Years later, after the Second War, the island nation of Kul Tiras claimed the former stronghold and established a prison over the ruins of the old fortress. The site of many historic battles in the Second War, Tol Barad is now home to a magic prison. Wizards from both Dalaran and Stormwind oversee the complex, and prisoners include enemy mages, lesser and greater demons, warlocks, and undead war criminals. The wizards do not allow anyone near the island and keep the prison’s existence secret.
