The Burning Steppes are located north of the Redridge Mountains and south of the Searing Gorge. As such, they hold the only accessible land passage from the kingdom of Stormwind in the south to Khaz Modan and Lordaeron in the north. Now virtually abandoned by Stormwind’s protection, the Burning Steppes is controlled by the orcish Blackrock clan, minions of the black dragonflight, and agents of Firelord Ragnaros. With the constant volcanic activity and flows of lava, the weather is perpetually hot and dry, and the land is absent of widespread vegetation.
The Blackrock orcs have long maintained a lasting settlement around the volcano known as Blackrock Stronghold, staying hidden from the road and always keeping watch for Alliance attacks. These orcs are more typical of the type of the First and Second wars rather than the current Horde in Kalimdor: Bloodthirsty and savage, they mine the mountains around Blackrock Spire for metals for their weapons and armor. In recent years, they have begun spreading outward, frequently terrorizing the Alliance-held region of the Redridge Mountains to the south. They have allied with the Firegut ogres on the southern end of the steppes as well as the black dragonflight in preparation for a violent territorial expansion into lands protected by Stormwind. But the Alliance – not to mention some friendly Dark Iron dwarves and certain members of the Horde – will not allow them to succeed.

Ideal material for friday's work
Maan, the nostalgia sure sis trong with this one. Just the beginning with the music and that glimpse into blackrock mountain immediately reminded me of all the times me and my guild ran molten core and blackwing lair back in the day to get the really early tier sets. Ha, those were the days. Trying to defeat Lucifron without decurse plug-ins, the mages switching to frost spec, so they could actually hurt ragnaros etc…fun times. Thanks for reminding of them, meisio. Keep doing, what you do 🙂.
4th!
Cool, but I prefer classic cause the new models look out of place.
I'll never forget that first time that I was exploring redridge and I somehow stumbled too far north, stumbled upon the entrance to hell, it was ofc the burning steppes, I almost got killed by one of the imps that are just in front of the ajar metal gate, such a cool moment
I vowed to return one day when I was high enough level and pass through the gate and see what was inside
Hey, is this recorded after the recent update to how mist and distance view work in some zones?
Great to see you still uploading stuff!
Kudos!
Im currently maining Boralus and Azure Span!
Great to listen to while working! And is a great way of measuring the time spent working by just looking at the video played duration.
WoW was simply so legendary and epic back in the day. A unique experience we will likely never experience again
thank you meisio! what a great way to end the work week.
Meisio, you should be a mailman because you always deliver. Another gem, thank you for another inclusion in my rotation!
I really wish Nightbot AutoDJ accepted songs above 10 minutes for my stream playlist
This zone always felt so dangerous, in a good strange way. It felt like u had to be alert at all times. Let alone stepping into Blackrock Mountain!
who the fuck would listen to Burning Steppes as relaxing ambience xD
호드로 여기서 퀘스트 할때 얼라이언스 만렙 한테 계속 죽어서 시체 끌기 했던 추억이…..
I love this so much. My god you can hear the passion behind everything about classic WoW.
WoW peaked in WOTLK and it was never as epic as it was back in the day. I don't have much of core memories from music or questing areas from newer expansions.
