| − | The '''Charred Vale''' is a large valley once filled with life but now lies mostly in flames and lava in the southwest section of the [[Stonetalon Mountains]]. The exact name of the place prior to being charred is unknown, if it even had a name, but it was here that [[Bloodfury]] [[Harpy|harpies]] called their home and [[treant]]s roamed the area to protect their forest. |

||
| − | Thanks to the efforts of the adventurers and the druids of [[Sun Rock Retreat]] the forest had started to regrow once more. After a few years the once beautiful forest was green again, that was until the [[Shattering]]. A nearby dominate volcano erupted, spewing out lava into the vale where it destroyed half the area and opened a path to the [[Veiled Sea]]. Since most of the harpy population was on the western part of this vale, they were likely killed off, except for those that managed to escape in time. The only known survivor known is [[Sister Riven]]. |

| − | ==Notes== |
||
| − | During the start of WoW, the entire valley was listed as the Charred Vale, but with the Cataclysm only the scorched parts are, while the green section of the area has no name. This could indicate the area did not have a name prior to being first charred before the Cataclysm. |

||
| − | An in-game sign pointing towards the Charred Vale has a plank over, suggesting the area was renamed after deforestation. However, there is nothing in lore that provides us with what it was once named. It could have been part of [[Greatwood Vale]]. |
