[Discovery] Hidden place near Arathi Highlands

[Platos]

I've searched for this, and found one other post about it, however the images were removed so people may not have seen this before.

Myself and a friend were doing a quest that involved getting a scroll from the bottom of the waterfall in the Hinterlands, so we decided to hit the sea in Arathi and swim to the area to avoid aggro.

As we were heading around we ran across an area that on map appeared as water, but had a couple of buildings and some dwarves, as well as a small dock. I had a good time killing the lvl 5 rams in the stable, took a few screenies, and we moved on and completed the quest (about 20k exp at lvl 41 for a little exploration).

The location on the map.


A few pictures of the area.




Hopefully this hasn't been seen too many times, as I'm trying to only add things that aren't complete common sense. Enjoy.

Hard to do with exploration. This place is well known.. But i respect the fact that your trying.

It's like common sence? |-) .. This place can be seen when you use a flight path, and not so hard to get to ;X

It can? I apologize then, I've never flown over this area. May I ask which flight path goes over it? I wouldn't mind checking it out myself.

Sorry I dont know what flight path it is, but suppose one where you fly over the ocean nice you found it yourself anyway.

Damn, I'm unsure which it could be, to my knowledge no flightpaths go over the ocean, apart from places like skimming the edge from menethil>arathi, but thats the opposite edge. I don't suppose you know if its Horde or Alliance? I've never rolled Horde past very low levels, so I've not seen their flight paths.

*goes to google fight paths*

Edit: I found this map of FP's.



The only one I can see that goes close is that Horde one, but it seems like quite a diversion from the path. Ahh well.

Well you need to remember that the beast you fly on take's drugs every morning to keep the stress off, and then sometimes forget to fly straight. (Example: Ironforge - Stormwind, you fly over Searing Gorge)

Still a pretty cool little area, kind of reminds me of the place above Wetlands.

Common sense? Is it common sense to jump over random walls and walljump up other walls then slowfall down that hole in hope to find a random 'off the map' area?

All exploration that involves hidden areas like this are in no way common sense.
