Drowned Reaches

From WoWWiki

This article or section contains lore taken from the Warcraft RPG books.

Located on the southeastern edge of the Boiling Terrace, the Drowned Reaches is a great ships’ graveyard. Since 10,000 years ago, ships that run afoul of the Maelstrom are caught in its whirlpool and sucked downward, and the currents rip them asunder and deposit their remains here. Because the sailors die in fear and agony and are surrounded by the Maelstrom’s unstable influence, the dead often do not find peace. The zombified and skeletal remains of these unfortunates wander the Boiling Terrace, raging at their fate. The naga fear the undead and avoid this area; so far, they have managed to avoid outright conflict with the millennia-strong drowned men and women.^{LoM 72}
