Drowned Reaches

This article contains information from theWarcraft RPG which is considerednon-canon.

TheDrowned Reaches is a greatshipgraveyard located on the southeastern edge of theBoiling Terrace. Since 10,000 years ago, ships that run afoul of theMaelstrom are caught in its whirlpool, sucked downward, and the currents rip them asunder and deposit their remains here.^[1] Both theHorde and theAlliance lost numerous ships to the Drowned Reaches during the exodus toKalimdor.^[2]

Because thesailors die in fear and agony and are surrounded by the Maelstrom's unstable influence, the dead often do not find peace. Thezombified andskeletal remains of these unfortunates wander the Boiling Terrace, raging at their fate. Thenaga fear theundead and avoid this area; so far, they have managed to avoid outright conflict with the millennia-strong drowned men and women.^[1]
