The Arathi of Hallowfall - New Settlement, Origin Location
The Arathi settlement in Hallowfall is only fifteen years old. They originally came from a new place we haven't seen before, will we visit this zone in the future?
The Arathi in War Within
In The War Within, Hallowfall is home to the Arathi — descendants from the first human empire of Arathor. However, while Arathor was based in the Eastern Kingdoms, these Arathi are part of a group that splintered from the original empire and built their own Arathi Empire across the sea.

Faerin says: We're the Hallowfall expedition of the Arathi Empire.
Faerin says: We followed our Emperors sacred vision across the sea — to fight in Renilash, the final battle between light and dark.
Faerin says: As we crossed the sea, we were caught in a storm. The fleet was… enveloped in golden radiance.
Faerin says: In a flash, our entire armada was transported down here.
Anduin Wrynn says: You've been down here fighting the nerubians ever since?
Faerin says: I was just a child, the only child, we were marooned. The nerubians have never ceased their hostility.
Faerin says: They crawl Read more on wowhead.com
