Frostfire Ridge

:Frostfire Ridge is a harsh land of ceaseless winter and volcanic peaks, where travelers encounter molten lava as often as painfully cold snow.

==Trivia==
*During the initial planning phase, the land was to be an icy desert with purple sand dunes called Frostwind Desert.:File:Draenor early layout.jpg However, the purple sand in the concept art was frequently mistaken for snow, eventually resulting in the desert idea being abandonded in favor of a frozen wasteland with volcanic activity. A fragment of this concept appears to exist in the final version, though, as Cordana mentions "scouting the dunes" to the Horde commander.
