Ever find the hidden Conan tomb? Head away from the dwarf fortress entrance, and you'll be looking for a hillside to the south east. Climp slopes until you are facing back towards the fort entrance and voila it's right there. Best easter egg spot in the game.

From Wowpedia: Ages ago, the Badlands were a verdant valley, lush with natural resources. Three hundred years ago Ragnaros' arrival blasted this region, scorched the land, and transformed it into what it is today - a desolate, barren wasteland. The area is inhospitable, and was rarely visited until recently

Yeah the dark irons basically screwed up the lands between loch modan and elwynn forest. The orcs too changed the lands around the blasted lands and the swamps of sorrow due to their miasma and sargeras took part in "desolacing" the lands around the tower of mediev

while not related to geology itself , the dwarf you meet here was an apprentice of feranor steeltoe , the dwarf who made a fiery enchantment for arthas out of searionx's heart , and ofcourse this dwarf apprentice sends you to collect drake hearts to make an enchantment that adds fire damage to your weapon , it pays off to read quest text
