Hardknuckle Clearing

Hardknuckle Clearing is a flat patch of dirt along the southeast edge of Sholazar Basin. It has a few green patches and a large remnant of a tree stump on one end. On this patch Softknuckle gorillas roam under the watchful eye of the who watches from some hidden hollow. For some reason Frenzyheart Tribe dislikes the matriarch and ask adventurers to torment the softknuckles in order to draw her out to be slain.

• During the beta, the area was known as Bristlepine Den, and the gorillas were known as bristlepines as well. This is still referenced in some quests like The Sapphire Queen.
