rathi Basin, located in Arathi Highlands, is a fast and exciting Battleground. The Basin itself is rich with resources and coveted by both the Horde and the Alliance. The Forsaken Defilers and the League of Arathor have arrived at Arathi Basin to wage war over these natural resources and claim them on behalf of their respective sides.

The League of Arathor seek to reclaim lost lands for their benefactors in Stormwind, while the Defilers - elite troopers under the watchful eye of Varimathas - seek to sever the vital connection between the Humans and their Dwarven allies to the south.
