Northern Stranglethorn (also referred to as Stranglethorn Jungle[1] and Northern Stranglethorn Vale[2]) is a zone in southern Eastern Kingdoms. It is part of the greater Stranglethorn Vale region, separated from the Cape of Stranglethorn by The Sundering. This dense, tropical and resource-filled jungle has holdings of many factions whose agendas conflict or intertwine in the zone's story. The jungle troll instance Zul'Gurub is located here.
History
- Main article: Stranglethorn Vale
Northern Stranglethorn is a new zone in Cataclysm as the old Stranglethorn Vale was split in half after the Shattering. At the bottom of this zone, the remaining whirlpool can be seen. Players learn about the political changes in Zul'Gurub, rescue an adorable raptor, and partake in Nesingwary's expanded hunting operations.

Notes and trivia
- If you travel to a small cove north of Yojamba Isle, you can see a large water gate which leads to the docks inside the Deadmines. However, you cannot enter or leave through this. Interestingly, inside the Deadmines this gate exists to the north, but outside the exit of the gate is to the south.
- For the quest [35] Bwemba's Spirit, the southern part of the area, around Fort Livingston is phased, with the area besieged by level 83 Jungle Serpents, and poisoned NPCs!
