'''Zangarmarsh''' is a hauntingly beautiful swamp covered with a forest of giant mushrooms. Though largely teeming with life, sections of the swamp have begun to die of late, and the sapient fungi of the region seek help in returning it to life. This zone is located in [[Outland]] to the west of [[Hellfire Peninsula]].
  +
  +
The marshes are the home of myriad varieties of predatory invertebrates and flora, including [[Fungal giant|Fungal Giant]]s, [[Spore Bat]]s, and [[Spore Walker]]s.

  +
== History ==
  +
Worldofwarcraft.com says the following about the Zangarmarsh:
  +
:''Zangarmarsh is a tranquil area that has largely evaded the demonic influence. The marsh's innumerable lakes and pools are clean of any taint, and most native animals and fungi give off soothing phosphorescent light. Only recently has the area's self-contained ecology faltered. Something is causing the water levels to drop. The marsh's giant mushrooms are dying, as are the creatures that rely upon the mushrooms for food.''

=== WarCraft II ===
  +
Not very much is known about the past history of Zangarmarsh as it was not mentioned in [[Warcraft II]]. Its name does not appear on any Draenor-maps, but the map for the PlayStation version on Warcraft II depicts a large green area where Zangarmarsh is located. Notably, based on this map, it seems Zangarmarsh at that time was the home of the [[Bonechewer clan]] and possibly the [[Warsong clan]].
  +
  +
=== Rise of the Horde ===
  +
In ''[[Rise of the Horde]]'', it is described as the place where [[Velen]] and his surviving followers hid after the orcish genocide and waited until their raid on the [[Exodar]]; it was also where [[Akama]] led his own followers in the trailer to [[Patch 2.1]].

{{speculation}}
  +
Zangarmarsh does not appear in [[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]] either, in which the Outland is very similar to [[Hellfire Peninsula]]. The Outland seen in Warcraft III does however contain a large amount of giant mushrooms, which acts as Outland's "trees" (see [[lumber]]). It is possible that the giant mushrooms in Warcraft III were made into Zangarmarsh in World of Warcraft, similar to how the [[Black Temple]] was [[Black Citadel and Temple|retconned]] to be in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. In other words, it appears that Blizzard Entertainment used the various features in the Warcraft III "Outland-version" to create new areas in World of Warcraft's Outland.
  +
  +
One particular area in World of Warcraft, [[Thornfang Hill]], contains both Zangarmarsh-mushrooms and Hellfire Peninsula-terrain. Thus, it is the Outland-area in World of Warcraft which is most similar to the Outland seen in WarCraft III.

[[File:CoilfangReservoir.jpg|thumb|Coilfang Reservoir, where Illidan's Naga is gathering Zangarmarsh's water.]]
  +
  +
In World of Warcraft, Zangarmarsh's history is strengthened using other areas in Outland, also somewhat continuing the story about [[Illidan Stormrage]].
  +
  +
In Warcraft III, [[Illidan Stormrage]], [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]] and [[Lady Vashj]] managed to seize the [[Black Temple]] from [[Magtheridon]]. As part of his conquest, Illidan [[Gates of the Abyss|closed down]] several [[Dimensional gateway|dimensional gateways]] used by by Magtheridon to bring [[demon]]s from the [[Twisting Nether]]. In World of Warcraft, it is revealed that [[Portal Clearing|one]] of these gateways was actually located in Zangarmarsh.
  +
  +
Illidan was originally planning to hide in the Black Temple from [[Kil'jaeden]] after failing [[The Ruins of Dalaran|his task]] of killing the [[Lich King]] by destroying the [[Frozen Throne]]. It was, apparently, still an easy feat for Kil'jaeden to find him, and he offered Illidan a second chance to destroy the throne. After Illidan [[A Long Time Coming|failed]] his task once more, Kael'thas and Vashj picked up his beaten and unconscious body with them as they fled back to Outland<ref>[[Kael'thas Sunstrider]]</ref>. Kael'thas decided eventually to turn away from Illidan and join Kil'jaeden, but Vashj stayed loyal. She and most of her forces, [[Illidan's Naga]], settled in Zangarmarsh where they begun to drain its waters, collecting it in the [[Coilfang Reservoir]]. Their exact reason for doing this is somewhat unclear; one theory is that they're attempting to control Outland's sparse amount of water - another is that they're planning to make a new [[Well of Eternity]]. They have constructed large pumping-machines on all the major lakes in Zangarmarsh; [[Marshlight Lake]], [[Serpent Lake]], [[Umbrafen Village]], [[The Lagoon]] and the lake that was once at the now [[The Dead Mire|Dead Mire]]. Lady Vashj herself is [[Lady Vashj (tactics)|the final raid boss]] in [[Serpentshrine Cavern]].
  +
  +
Zangarmarsh it also facing danger from the [[Ango'rosh tribe]], a group of [[ogre]]s led by [[Overlord Gorefist]]. They are likely coming from the northern [[Blade's Edge Mountains]] (where all ogres originate from), and are for some reason cutting down the giant mushrooms. By destroying the [[Hewn Bog]], they've destroyed the food source of the [[fungal giant]]s which now are going to [[Spawning Glen]] to feed on the young [[sporeling]]s instead, much to the dismay of [[Sporeggar]].
  +
  +
With [[Illidan's Naga]] draining the waters and the [[Ango'rosh tribe]] cutting off the mushrooms for their own needs the ecology of the marsh is being severly affected, if the [[Cenarion Expedition]] doesn't act quickly the marsh could be destroyed.<ref>{{ref web

Both the Horde and Alliance have established outposts here. The Horde ones, [[Swamprat Post]] and [[Zabra'jin]], seem to have been built by the [[Darkspear tribe]]. One of the Alliance ones, [[Telredor]], lies atop one of the mushrooms and appears to have been built by [[draenei]]. The other, [[Orebor Harborage]], are some old draenei ruins ruled by the [[Kurenai]]. The marsh is also inhabited by several [[lost one]]s of the [[Daggerfen]], [[Feralfen]] and [[Umbrafen]] tribes. The lost ones in Feralfen are worshiping [[arakkoa]]<ref>[[Quest:Idols of the Feralfen]]</ref>.

[[File:Zangarmarshofficial.jpg|thumb|The [[Cenarion Refuge]].]]
  +
  +
Zangarmarsh consists of a large expanse of swamp land, bordered by mountains to the north, south, and to some extent the east. A long stretch of coastline forms the western edge of the zone. Giant mushrooms are the characteristic feature of the area, towering above the pools of marsh water like great trees.
  +
  +
Zangarmarsh contains four instances all located in the [[Coilfang Reservoir]], one of which is a 25-man raid. This area has no battlegrounds or micro dungeons, but has a world PvP zone for a graveyard nearest to the [[Coilfang Reservoir]] entry.
  +
  +
(Note: as of Feb 03 2008, at least for [[Alliance]], the graveyard only works for the [[Slave Pens]] instance as the distance to instance portals is used instead of the distance to the Coilfang entry).

Zangarmarsh is a hauntingly beautiful swamp covered with a forest of giant mushrooms. Though largely teeming with life, sections of the swamp have begun to die of late, and the sapient fungi of the region seek help in returning it to life. This zone is located in Outland to the west of Hellfire Peninsula.

The marshes are the home of myriad varieties of predatory invertebrates and flora, including Fungal Giants, Spore Bats, and Spore Walkers.

Its name does not appear on any Draenor-maps, but the map for the PlayStation version on Warcraft II depicts a large green area where Zangarmarsh is located. Notably, based on this map, it seems Zangarmarsh at that time was the home of the Bonechewer clan and possibly the Warsong clan.

Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Zangarmarsh does not appear in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne either, in which the Outland is very similar to Hellfire Peninsula. The Outland seen in Warcraft III does however contain a large amount of giant mushrooms, which acts as Outland's "trees" (see lumber). It is possible that the giant mushrooms in Warcraft III were made into Zangarmarsh in World of Warcraft, similar to how the Black Temple was retconned to be in Shadowmoon Valley. In other words, it appears that Blizzard Entertainment used the various features in the Warcraft III "Outland-version" to create new areas in World of Warcraft's Outland.

One particular area in World of Warcraft, Thornfang Hill, contains both Zangarmarsh-mushrooms and Hellfire Peninsula-terrain. Thus, it is the Outland-area in World of Warcraft which is most similar to the Outland seen in WarCraft III.

World of Warcraft

CoilfangReservoir

Coilfang Reservoir, where Illidan's Naga is gathering Zangarmarsh's water.

In World of Warcraft, Zangarmarsh's history is strengthened using other areas in Outland, also somewhat continuing the story about Illidan Stormrage.

In Warcraft III, Illidan Stormrage, Kael'thas Sunstrider and Lady Vashj managed to seize the Black Temple from Magtheridon. As part of his conquest, Illidan closed down several dimensional gateways used by by Magtheridon to bring demons from the Twisting Nether. In World of Warcraft, it is revealed that one of these gateways was actually located in Zangarmarsh.

Illidan was originally planning to hide in the Black Temple from Kil'jaeden after failing his task of killing the Lich King by destroying the Frozen Throne. It was, apparently, still an easy feat for Kil'jaeden to find him, and he offered Illidan a second chance to destroy the throne. After Illidan failed his task once more, Kael'thas and Vashj picked up his beaten and unconscious body with them as they fled back to Outland[1]. Kael'thas decided eventually to turn away from Illidan and join Kil'jaeden, but Vashj stayed loyal. She and most of her forces, Illidan's Naga, settled in Zangarmarsh where they begun to drain its waters, collecting it in the Coilfang Reservoir. Their exact reason for doing this is somewhat unclear; one theory is that they're attempting to control Outland's sparse amount of water - another is that they're planning to make a new Well of Eternity. They have constructed large pumping-machines on all the major lakes in Zangarmarsh; Marshlight Lake, Serpent Lake, Umbrafen Village, The Lagoon and the lake that was once at the now Dead Mire. Lady Vashj herself is the final raid boss in Serpentshrine Cavern.

Zangarmarsh it also facing danger from the Ango'rosh tribe, a group of ogres led by Overlord Gorefist. They are likely coming from the northern Blade's Edge Mountains (where all ogres originate from), and are for some reason cutting down the giant mushrooms. By destroying the Hewn Bog, they've destroyed the food source of the fungal giants which now are going to Spawning Glen to feed on the young sporelings instead, much to the dismay of Sporeggar.

With Illidan's Naga draining the waters and the Ango'rosh tribe cutting off the mushrooms for their own needs the ecology of the marsh is being severly affected, if the Cenarion Expedition doesn't act quickly the marsh could be destroyed.[2]

Both the Horde and Alliance have established outposts here. The Horde ones, Swamprat Post and Zabra'jin, seem to have been built by the Darkspear tribe. One of the Alliance ones, Telredor, lies atop one of the mushrooms and appears to have been built by draenei. The other, Orebor Harborage, are some old draenei ruins ruled by the Kurenai. The marsh is also inhabited by several lost ones of the Daggerfen, Feralfen and Umbrafen tribes. The lost ones in Feralfen are worshiping arakkoa[3].
