-At the southeastern end of [[Thousand Needles]], on the border with [[Tanaris]], lies '''The Shimmering Flats'''. Home to the Mirage Raceway, this area is an open expanse devoid of any vegetation and home to various varieties of, among other things, basilisk, scorpid, tortoise and vulture. The area is a now-dried lakebed, as evidenced by the wrecked sailing vessel in the northern part.

-Although the flats are somewhat spartan, many find the sense of loneliness and silence give the area a unique beauty, and the [[Mirage Raceway]] in the middle of such a lonely place gives a strange sense of the surreal.

-The flatness of the area makes it especially desirable for [[Goblin]]s and [[Gnome]]s, who have set up a race track in the area and constantly compete against each other to see who can build the fastest racing machine. Their inventions are frequently unstable, and the area is littered with the wreckage and parts of countless failed gizmos, as well as numerous craters.

-Thanks to goblin prospecting, the large salt flat is actually a rich source of oil. The goblins have ventured to the basin in great numbers to collect and refine the "black gold." The otherwise amiable goblins are not very hospitable in this region and maintain guards to ensure no one steals their claim.{{Cite|WRPG|211}}

-The area is full of [[turtle]]s, [[buzzard]]s, [[scorpid]]s and [[basilisk]]s. A group of [[Dwarf|Dwarven]] archaeologists were driven out of the ruins in the southwest when they inadvertently dug into a subterranean [[Silithid]] hive.
-==Trivia==
-The Shimmering Flats appear to be based on the Bonneville Flats in Utah, or Arizona's flats, many of which are test sites for rocket cars and airplanes.
