Ruins of Southshore

The Ruins of Southshore are all that remain of the human port town of Southshore, one of the last intact Alliance towns in Lordaeron.
It is now controlled by the Horde and serves as a quest hub, complete with a flight master. Blight Slimes, Angry Blight Slimes and a unique ooze named Chet the Slime-Breeder infest the ruins.
==History==
===Cataclysm===
Southshore was a well known supply port and a possible staging ground for the Alliance military in the new war, a hindrance to the Forsaken's territorial expansion. As such, Southshore was attacked and destroyed by a potent strain of the Forsaken's New Plague, despite the orders of the Horde leadership to use only diluted versionsForsaken Forward Command#Notes after the Wrathgate incident. The potency of the blight used is dubious, as even the Forsaken responsible for it express mild surprise at how effective it was.Studies in Lethality The town leadership led those who could escape to Fenris Keep in Silverpine Forest,No Escape but some other inhabitants weren't so lucky as the residents were no match for the Forsaken's chemical weapons.The Battle for Hillsbrad
Southshore was rendered uninhabitable after this, as highly toxic blight remnants were left spread throughout the ruins. The Forsaken took partial control of the ruins but due to the toxicity of the blight, the land would be inhospitable for a hundred years or so. Dark rangers patrolled the roads nearby with domesticated spiders and were occasionally found battling Bloodfang Forsaken Hunters.
===Legion===
During the Legion Invasion, Wyrmtongue Harvesters were sent by the Burning Legion to the Ruins of Southshore in order to harvest remaining Blight Samples.
===Battle for Azeroth===
During the Fourth War, Raleigh the Devout, who survived the destruction of Southshore, returned to clear it of the blight with a cadre of paladins. The Horde tried to enrage the blight creatures to disrupt their efforts.Southshore Sabotage (Horde) The Alliance troops blew up the Horde apothecary experiments about weaponizing the blight infecting the ruins and encountered Master Apothecary Faranell.Southshore Sabotage (Alliance)
===Exploring Azeroth===
It appears the Horde's efforts were unsuccessful, as Mathias Shaw notes when traversing Azeroth in search of artifacts that the ruins were claimed by the Alliance and are undergoing rebuilding by the end of the Fourth War.World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms, pg. 98
