From the lore
The Stonetalon Mountains keep their holiest ground on the largest peak in the range. Night elves tend a barrow and a glade at the top and commune there with the spirits of nature. The tauren hold the peak sacred too, because the immortal Oracle once lived here and watched the strands of fate as the Earth Mother wove them.
Elune blessed a Fountain of Health in these mountains in ancient times. During the Third War, harpies captured the wyverns that nested nearby and fouled the fountain's water. Thrall came against them with Cairne Bloodhoof and his tauren. They broke a band of centaur to win a Glyph of Purification and cleansed the fountain with it.
Lower down, the land has been stripped. Goblins of the Venture Company have cut almost every tree in Windshear Crag, filled the air with soot, and spoiled the water with oil and waste, to the fury of the orcs and tauren. The mountain spirits cried out against it, loud enough that the shaman as far off as Orgrimmar heard.

Places I found here
The Charred Vale. The Charred Vale was a green valley once. Bloodfury harpies called it home, and treants walked its forest as guardians. (source)
Stonetalon Peak. At the far northwestern end of the range, in a green mountain valley, stands Stonetalon Peak. The mountain is held sacred, and magic runs through its stone. (source)
The Talondeep Path. The Talondeep Path winds through the mountains from Ashenvale to Windshear Crag. Small dead ends and odd holes break its walls, and nothing lives inside. (source)
Windshear Crag. Windshear Crag was a massive old-growth forest, green and thick in its valley. Now it is stumps, fouled water, and machinery that creaks without end. (source)
Blackwolf River. The Blackwolf River runs out of Cragpool Lake and through the valley of Windshear Crag. It is a small river, and a foul one. The Venture Company's logging of the valley has poisoned its water. (source)
Webwinder Path. Spiders, rams and thunder lizards live along the Webwinder Path, the main road between Malaka'jin and Mirkfallon Lake. (source)
Mirkfallon Lake. Mirkfallon Lake fills a basin at the center of the Stonetalon Mountains, with a hill rising out of the water in the middle. Wyverns nest around the lake, and slimes and thunder lizards roam its shores. (source)
