Building up to Wrath (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/)'s release, we've been showing you previews of each of the world zones of Northrend. Sholazar Basin and Zul'Drak are two of the remaining zones you probably haven't yet seen, so if you're interested, links to the galleries are below.
Sholazar Basin (http://www.wowwiki.com/Sholazar_Basin) is Northrend's Un'goro Crater, and has a pleasing mix of the familiar and the unfamiliar. A testing grounds of sorts for the Titans, you run into a lot of unusual lifeforms here like the Oracles, a race of intelligent murloc-esque creatures (http://www.wowwiki.com/Gorloc) who are at war with the Frenzyheart Tribe of Wolvar (http://www.wowwiki.com/Wolvar). This is also the new hunting ground of Hemet Nesingwary (http://www.wowwiki.com/Hemet_Nesingwary), and trust me when I say his quests aren't nearly as awful this time around.
Zul'Drak (http://www.wowwiki.com/Zul%27Drak) is the center of one of the last Troll Empires, home of the Drakkari Ice Trolls. Under heavy assault from the Scourge, the Drakkari Empire has pooled their resources and pulled back to their capital, using some rather desperate measures to ensure their survival. Your first major Argent Crusade (http://www.wowwiki.com/Argent_Crusade) quest hubs are in this zone, and our old friends of the Zandalar Tribe will be meeting up with us here as well.
