Highpine Valley

The Highpine Valley is one of untold numbers of valleys that are across the Alterac Mountains, creating remote ecosystems & in many cases preserving the old forests of ancient Lordaeron. With the rising need for lumber to fuel national regrowth, the Highpine Valley, a small valley on the westernmost edge of the Alteraci border, now plays home to the Dominion of Alterac's newest constructed lumbermill. The project & factory, headed up & designed, respectively, by Dominion Marshal & Engineer Raleigh Sternbridge is intended to become the first of several large lumberworks that will harvest the mighty Alteraci Pine that fill these remote valleys.

Location & Description
The Highpine Valley is the most western valley in the Alteraci Mountain range. Its western slope is at the edge of the old border of the Kingdoms of Alterac & Dalaran. Tall, thick pine trees cover the entire region, save for a single granite outcropping in the center of the valley.

Workers
Because of the Dominion's need for available men & women along with the remoteness of the facility, the Lumberworks makes use of lobotomized Crushridge Ogres to cut down & haul the large pieces of lumber that the Valley offers. These Ogres, having had their mental faculties altered via Engineering Mind Control devices, are completely unable to generate rage. Now docile and somewhat trained, these Ogres are used to help support the Dominion without allocating scarce human resources.
