Silverpine hands down bar none. I know Sylvanis is often portrayed as this evil crazy person (which she might be) but Silverpine shows the personality of Sylvanis besides crazy. I mean I got to ride with her as she explained the plight of the forsaken and how she is fixing it (the lack of procreation). That was one of the most awesome things in all of cataclysm. She was there all through the zone and being able to interact with such a major lore character was just awesome.

What did we get for the rest of the horde? Well I got to see Garrosh get angry at yell a lot (because I never got to see him do that before) at random points. I had some small interaction with Vol'jin for two mins in the troll starting area. Baine, just kind of stood there. Infact the only other one that I remember spending any significant time with was Gallywix. All that did was make me mad when I didn't get to kill him at the end of the goblin starting zones.

Another thing Silverpine did was make it feel like it mattered. I wasn't just there to watch Sylvanis and Garrosh argue, or make some plague for someone else to use. I was helping win a war. I can't think of any other zone that felt this epic. Of course I am all for the forsaken so I might be biased.

Victory for Sylvanis.
