Vivendi have sent through some new content details for the upcoming World of Warcraft Expansion, The Burning Crusade. The overview details the Hellfire Citadel, one of the new instances that will be introduced when the expansion ships later in the year.
On the blasted world of Outland, within the heart of Hellfire Peninsula stands Hellfire Citadel, a nearly impenetrable bastion that served as the Horde's base of operations throughout the First and Second Wars. For years this gargantuan fortress was thought to be abandoned...

Until recently.

Though much of Draenor was shattered by the reckless Ner'zhul, the Hellfire Citadel remains intact- inhabited now by marauding bands of red, furious fel orcs. Though the presence of this new, savage breed presents something of a mystery, what's far more disconcerting is that the numbers of these fel orcs seem to be growing.

Despite Thrall and Grom Hellscream's successful bid to end the Horde's corruption by slaying Mannoroth, reports indicate that the barbaric orcs of Hellfire Citadel have somehow managed to find a new source of corruption to fuel their primitive bloodlust.

Whatever authority these orcs answer to is unknown, although it is a strongly held belief that they are not working for the Burning Legion.

Perhaps the most unsettling news to come from Outland are the accounts of thunderous, savage cries issuing from somewhere deep beneath the citadel. Many have begun to wonder if these unearthly outbursts are somehow connected to the corrupted fel orcs and their growing numbers. Unfortunately those questions will have to remain unanswered.

At least for now.

Geez, its one Instance based on the game history, give them a break. Outland was originally where Orcs CAME FROM.

Outland is a big place, I'm sure they'll have something for you.

Sides its not like they're gonna give you big information, like what the other
new race is...

I assume that was directed at me Rapax?

If so, I didn't say this instance would be bad as it used orcs, just that I would like to see more Human based instances

Nope, Illidan i think resides in that Citadel of that Demon Lord he killed in outland in the Frozen throne.

BAH! Ice.

We need ice based instances. Ones directly related to Arthas, perhaps an advance party or something.

But i guess that is sort of what they've already done with 1.11 and the Scourge Invasion =(
