From the lore
Mist hangs low over the Wetlands, and the sky is a flat gray from one end of the country to the other. Small rivers, lakes and ponds run through the ground, mountains close it in on three sides, and the ocean lies open to the west. Dwarven strongholds once stood all across this land. War has left them as rubble, and murlocs, wild beasts and renegade orcs hold it now.
In the Second War the Dragonmaw clan took the fortress of Grim Batol in the mountains to the east. The orcs and their dragons ate the wildlife thin, and the plants suffered along with it.
The Dragonmaw lost their hold when the red dragons they had enslaved broke free and burned their bases and catapults. The survivors fled south into the mountains, where they still live. Menethil Harbor, on a small island in Baradin Bay, is the Alliance's only foothold in the Wetlands.

Places I found here
Baradin Bay. The waters of Baradin Bay wash the coast where Khaz Modan meets Lordaeron. The bay's history lies broken along its bottom. (source)
Menethil Harbor. The wall is the first thing anyone notices, thick stone thrown up around a harbor town on a small island off the western shore. (source)
Deepwater Tavern. Fights break out often in the Deepwater Tavern, and Tapoke "Slim" Jahn starts many of them. It is a busy gathering place in Menethil Harbor. (source)
Menethil Keep. Captain Stoutfist commands the Menethil militia from Menethil Keep, whose four towers watch over the harbor town below like stern guardians. (source)
Menethil Bay. Crocolisks of every age and size crowd Menethil Bay, and hunters take them for their fine leather. The bay is an inlet of Baradin Bay, lying between Menethil Harbor and the northern cliffs of Dun Morogh. (source)
Bluegill Marsh. Several camps of Bluegill murlocs stand in the marshes of the western Wetlands. The murlocs here move in groups of two or three, and Gobbler, the fiercest of them, leads them. (source)
Sundown Marsh. The deepest part of the Wetlands lies in the northwest, in Sundown Marsh. (source)
Saltspray Glen. When a strong wind blows off the bay, the ocean throws its spray far inland at Saltspray Glen. That is how the glen got its name. (source)
Ironbeard's Tomb. Over the graveyard at Ironbeard's Tomb stands a statue of a dwarf, carved, it seems, in the likeness of Ironbeard himself. The crypt lies just west of the road to Dun Modr, in the north-central Wetlands. (source)
Black Channel Marsh. Raptors have their lairs all through Black Channel Marsh, in the southwestern Wetlands. The road to Menethil Harbor skirts the marsh, and the hungrier raptors wander close to the roadside. (source)
