New Zone: Northrend*
This area will have two points of entry - Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord.
To travel between these two zones, a “turtle ship” will be introduced: “a giant turtle with a deck mounted on top of its shell

Borean Tundra: Alliance - brand new stronghold with a new leader; giant steam ship; stronghold gearing up to take on Arthas in the Icecrown Citadel;
Horde - enter into Warsong Fortress, under the command of Grom Hellscream’s son - “huge and epic”
Howling Fjord:
Alliance - enter by boat through the Fjord walls, arrive in the middle of a big battle; Horde - arrive in an area with brand new Forsaken architecture

- Grizzly Hills (L74-76): The Furbolgs live in the forest. The Venture Company is also cutting down the forest of Grizzly Hills. There also seems
