Unlike its barren neighbors to the north, south, and east, '''Feralas''' is a lush jungle. Both the Horde and Alliance lay claim to the area and have to contend with powerful local forces. These include the bloodthirsty [[Gordunni]] ogres who control a number of scattered ancient Elven ruins, including the vast dungeon of [[Dire Maul]]. The ogres have desecrated and defiled much of Feralas, damaging the land with their taint. The Horde in particular is concerned with the unchecked expansion of the Gordunni and has put out a call for adventurers to aid the war effort against them. Feralas is also home to a number of scattered [[Grimtotem]] tauren tribes, members of which are hunted by order of Belgrom Rockmaul in [[Orgrimmar]]. The far western islands are crawling with [[Naga]] and recently several [[Silithid]] hives have been spotted. Feralas is also the location of one of the four [[Great Trees]] leading to the [[Emerald Dream]] and guarded by the four Emerald Dragons. The three others are in [[Ashenvale]], [[Duskwood]], and [[the Hinterlands]].

'''Mark''' may mean any of the following:

−
*[[Mark of the Wild]], the druid buff.

==History==
−
*[[Hunter's Mark]], the hunter non-aggro debuff.
  
  +
Once part of the great expansion of [[Night Elf]] power, the forest of Feralas holds many ancient ruins as well as the great city now known as [[Dire Maul]] that have long since been overgrown by the native plant life. One possible explanation for its abundant flora and fauna could lie in the fact that [[Kalimdor]] was once nothing but lush forests prior to the [[Great Sundering]]. It is likely the high mountains that surround the area served as a protective barrier from such outside factors.

==Getting there==
  +
[[File:The Forgotten Coast.jpg|thumb|The Forgotten Coast]]
  +
;{{Alliance Icon Small}}Alliance: Alliance may find some trouble getting into the zone. Adventurers can travel south from [[Nijel's Point]] in [[Desolace]], but then will have to pass between [[the Twin Colossals]] (which is full of beasts level 47-50) and head directly to [[Feathermoon Stronghold]]. Alternatively, they can travel west from [[Thalanaar]], but they will encounter the Horde town of [[Camp Mojache]], which will require venturing into the mob-infested forests to the south to pass. The easiest way for Alliance adventurers is via water route. From [[Nijel's Point]] they can go west and, after passing by [[Thunder Axe Fortress]] and [[Ethel Rethor]], jump into the water in [[Sar'theris Strand]]. From there it is possible to swim without encountering any mobs. On this route, the adventurer should avoid the pier in [[Shadowprey Village]]. After passing it, there is a straight and mobless water route to [[Feathermoon Stronghold]].
  +
;{{Horde Icon Small}}Horde: From [[Freewind Post]] adventurers travel northwest along the main road until entering Feralas. They will pass by the [[Alliance]] outpost of [[New Thalanaar]] that is easily avoided by staying on the road. Shortly into the jungle is the town of [[Camp Mojache]], which has a flight path.
  +
  +
==Geography==
  +
Feralas is a large rainforest of huge, ancient trees stretching from [[Thousand Needles]] to the coastline in the west and from the wasteland of [[Desolace]] in the north to the lush [[Un'Goro Crater]] to the south.
  +
  +
[[Dire Maul]], ancient ruins now populated by ogres, is an instanced dungeon which can be found in this area. There are no raid dungeons or battlegrounds here, but there are multiple [[Dungeon|micro dungeons]].

  +
* [[Dream Bough]] – due south of here on the shores of [[Jademir Lake]] is an Alliance hub with flight master, [[Dreamer's Rest]].
  +
* [[Feathermoon Stronghold]] – original is in ruins on the island and is currently the scene of a war between the [[Sentinels]]. and [[Naga]]; new, much larger stronghold and quest hub has been built on the mainland across the water.
  +
* [[Feral Scar Vale]] – intact; to the east is a new Alliance outpost with flight master, the [[Tower of Estulan]].
  +
* [[The Forgotten Coast]] – new location of Feathermoon Stronghold, which takes up much of the central coastline; [[Zorbin Fandazzle]] has been moved up to the main road.
  +
* [[Frayfeather Highlands]] – [[Hippogryphs]] appear to be friendly mobs now, with the exception of a single rare mob. Just south of this area at co-ords 52,72 there is a deserted camp hidden in the hills.
  +
* [[Gordunni Outpost]] – east of here and high in the hills in an abandoned lake and [[Tauren]] camp.

  +
* [[Ruins of Isildien]] – intact; east of here are the [[Darkmist Ruins]], very dreary and inhabited by [[Highborne Poltergeist]]s; due south of the Ruins of Isilden, up and over the hills leading to [[Silithus]], is an abandoned, Tauren-themed camp – nearby is a very large lake which can also be seen on the main map.
  +
* [[Ruins of Ravenwind]] – southeast of here is a new Horde hub with flight master, [[Camp Ataya]].
  +
* [[Thalanaar]] – expanded and renamed [[New Thalanaar]], however it is under constant attack by the [[Grimtotem]] and is no longer a quest hub/flight path.
  +
* [[Woodpaw Hills]] – in the east up in the hills is a small Alliance camp with a flight path, [[Shadebough]].
  +
* At co-ords 83,48 there is what appears to be a deserted camp with Alliance tents.
