Crossroads

The Crossroads is the beating heart of Horde travel through central Kalimdor, situated where the north-south Gold Road intersects the path from Ratchet to the Stonetalon Mountains. It serves as a bustling trading outpost, military staging area, and transit hub for travelers journeying between Durotar, Mulgore, and northern frontlines.

True to its name, the Crossroads sits squarely at the crossing of the Gold Road and the east-west route cutting from the goblin port of Ratchet into the Stonetalon Mountains. Despite having modest lodgings, the outpost functions as a bustling regional hub. Wind rider masters, merchants, blacksmiths, and trainers maintain permanent setups beneath its watchtowers. For young warriors traveling out from Durotar or Mulgore, the settlement is often the first place they witness the vast, multi-front logistics binding the new Horde together.
