Telredor, Zangarmarsh

I'd been dreading Zangarmarsh because I imagined it like every swamp zone in Azeroth--nasty saturated hues of green and brown, boring and annoying beasts like crocodiles and dinosaurs, and worst of all, tons of waist deep water that would constantly cause you to dismount.

Luckily, ALL my fears were unfounded. Zangarmarsh is misty, true, but beautifully blue and glowy. It's a boon if you're an alchemist--you can often pick up items off of slain mobs, a perk usually enjoyed by skinners. At the heart of the extensive quest line is a mystery--someone or something is draining the essential waters out of Zangarmarsh and slowly killing the flora and fauna. Finally, except for 4 largish, centrally located lagoons and lakes, all the rivers and creeks are easily forded by your trusty ride!
