Southern Barrens warfront

An unnamed Southern Barrens warfront was experimented upon by Blizzard Entertainment for the release of Battle for Azeroth. It was a very early internal prototype, which served as a test bed before any of the new areas were created.Wowhead - Vanion.eu Q&A with Ion Hazzikostas - Negativity, Itemization, Rise of Azshara Plans It would have involved the Alliance attacking the Great Gate to Mulgore,Wowhead - Possible New Warfront Locations Discovered and many unused NPC IDs were added for it, but it was never completed.
Story-wise, despite the warfront not being released, it seems the Alliance still tried to reestablish Fort TriumphOur Fort Was a Triumph along Bael Modan.Barrens at War (Alliance)Barrens at War (Horde)Salvaging the Battlescar The Great Gate was still besieged by the Alliance.Great Gate of Mulgore (Horde)
==Commanders==
It is unknown which commanders would have appeared.
==Units==
The following Fort Triumph/Northwatch Expeditionary Unit soldiers were added in patch 8.0.1 but never used, being presumably intended to appear in the warfront:
*Fallen Triumph War Gryphon
*Injured Triumph Vanguard
*Northwatch Artillery
*Northwatch Cannon
*Northwatch Cannoneer
*Northwatch Defender
*Northwatch Dockworker
*Northwatch Gryphon Rider
*Northwatch Guard
*Northwatch Lookout
*Northwatch Messenger
*Northwatch Rifleman
*Northwatch Siege Engineer
*Triumph Lookout
*Overgrowth Woodworker
The Horde would have presumably deployed tauren and Desolation Hold soldiers, such as Desolation Guards, Desolation Raiders, Desolation Wind Riders, Desolation Champions, Northwatch Assassins, and Northwatch Ambushers.
==Items==
*Air Stike
==Notes==
*For a time even after release, the warfront music could be heard while in the Southern Barrens, a remnant of the experimentation on making the warfront.
