** Mount Hyjal in the ''Cataclysm'' expansion, the southern and lowest part of the zone has become [[Lethal Lava Land]] due to Ragnaros the Fire Lord re-emerging to burn the World Tree. Lakes of lava, walls of flame, islands of rock, elemental giants of magma and a rare volcanic turtle. Patch 4.2 introduced the Firelands raid dungeon and the Molten Front daily quest area, which are this trope all over.

One achievement requires you to kill the Brutalisk in this fashion.
