[Showoff] Darrowmere Forest - Chronicles of Azeroth

[sirfranc]

Hi to everyone, while i'm working on other stuff i found that my old Northern Lordaeron edit was needing a major overhaul, then i redid everything from scratch, scrapping the old ideas and redoing it again.

Lore time
-Hasic was a rich port town that linked many trade routes between the main harbors of Lordaeron, until the third war wiped out Lordaeron itself destroying most of this land, Hasic, however didn't got destroyed by the scourge, as the scourge wasn't interested in a coastal town while had a whole continent to wipe out, and because to reach Hasic you have to pass through Tyr's Hand, or cross the wild forest and climb some hill
As the land got healed and trade routes were rebuilt by the New Lordaeron and the Scarlet Crusade (now controlling a big part of Darrowmere Forest) Hasic emissaries sought to inform both factions that the city is still alive and available for trade, and is the last town (along with Southshore) to be Old-lordaeronish
Sadly, there was a price to pay still for Hasic, war would fall even on this town, and so it was:
A noble of Hasic, Lord Samwell Gernald, was found and captured by a group of forest trolls of the nearby Zul'Ulda temple (located near Seradane) and they agreed on freeing him AND paying him in change of a favor, blowing up the side of the mountain near Hasic, that was the only block for a deep cave that linked Hasic itself with their temple's catacombs... and so he did..
Overnight, both the city wall and the rock exploded, and a flood of well armed trolls with siege equipment swarmed in the high keep before the city could set up any defense, and overnight the whole city on the left side of Merendar river was destroyed and conquered, luckily the right half of Hasic woke up and set defenses on the bridge. Samwell got killed by the very trolls that he had a deal with "da traitor do not deserve to live"
Now the Alliance seek to take back the left side of Hasic while the horde is helping the Amani trolls* to finish the job and destroying that town once and for all.

*Amani trolls are now playable as race, as the Blood Elves are a neutral race (they left the horde)

Trees are custom and ye, the water is real and works. AND YES, IS STILL A WIP.
Notes: Hasic texturework and map aren't done yet

Enjoy I'll add more stuff as the work proceeds, it's not just an area change since i'm heavily editing stuff around, and there will be two brand new pieces of this region.

Damn nice! Been a while since we was a superawesome world build . Just a tip, but as it's still a WIP you might have thought about it already, you should edit the (grass) textures near the water abit.

Looking very post-Cataclysm there. Good job Argent Crusade and good job to you for an awesome modification to the Plaguelands.

Well since I've seen these screens before there's nothing much to add except maybe blending the edges of the water into it more.

[sirfranc]

Updated with new stuff, included in the new Darrowmere Forest will be added the port of Hasic (i won't reveal what will be for now), Balthier Castle (a massive fortification watching over Darrowshire and Darrowmere lake) and other places, filling all the empty spots
Tyr's Hand is getting completely revamped too, being now one of the main scarlet cities of Lordaeron and being, as should be by lore, a coastal town.
here some new screens, i added a river flowing out of Lake merendar going toward the sea

You misspelled Lights Hope in the map.

I like the design and lore for Hasic, though not so sure about the name. Maybe add a waterwheel?

Hasic is a lore town really existed in warcraft
