Frostfire Hot Springs

Situated near the tunnel leading to Timbermaw Hold, Frostfire Hot Springs represent one of the strangest natural anomalies in northern Kalimdor. The pools remain hot amid the surrounding snow, although the source of their heat is uncertain. The local Winterfall furbolgs maintain a presence near the water, though their aggressive territorial nature makes approaching the warm banks hazardous for unwary travelers. For those able to navigate the hostile wildlife and winter chill, the unfrozen waters provide a rare haven for fish.

The uncanny existence of such intense heat in an otherwise frozen wasteland has drawn the attention of curious observers. Nearby, an inquisitive dwarf named Donova Snowden keeps a lonely vigil over the springs, studying their origin and composition. Snowden suspects that these geothermal anomalies might not be entirely natural, hypothesizing that dark magical corruption seeping northward from the demonic stronghold of Darkwhisper Gorge could be responsible for roiling the subterranean waters.
