After you're finally done with Hellfire Peninsula you've got a couple of choices as to where to go next. Terrokar Forest sits to the southwest and is a lush woodland zone. Most notably, it holds Outland's only neutral city, Shattrath City, which introduces another set of new factions to work for or against. The focal point of the city is a giant creature of light called A'dal, which controls the existence of the city itself. Your first quest there will have you follow an elemental that spins out some history for you, but as you go on you'll discover there's a fundamental tension between two of the city's key tenant factions.
The Aldor and the Scryers, which consist of Draenei and Blood Elves, respectively, are new factions that intertwine with Shattrath's past. Although their races would suggest otherwise, it's possible to pledge allegiance via a quest line to either of them, but because they are effectively engaged in a cold war, becoming friendly with one faction will turn you against the other. Once again, the rewards on offer are pretty tantalizing for those who spend enough time earning the right to purchase them.
