In Old Hillsbrad despite it is only 7 years ago you see Whitemane and several other bosses from SM as young children. Apparently we've been fighting kids in SM this whole time. Even adding 7 years to what they look like in Old Hillsbrad none of the bosses in SM should even be legally able to drink in the U.S.
I can't believe a 14-year old wiped my whole party. :-(

Old Hillsbrad is the first instance you are allowed to enter in the caverns and is very insightful as to warcraft lore. If you go to the southshore inn you will hear a story of the origins of Ashbringer. But mainly, Old Hillsbrad is for rescueing Thrall from the orc internment camp known as Durnholde Keep. If you do not rescue him, the world will cease to exist.
