The gnolls in Splitpaw before the "revamp" were a different clan and used the models for the gnolls currently in Lake Rathetear. The new gnolls kicked them out because they were weak. The level range was roughly 8-24 so not much different than Blackburrow, but it was a long ass trip and you had to go bind your melees in Arena. I did it with my warrior and a friend back in "the day" and when we couldn't get groups for Paw together we'd hunt aviaks by the entrance to Arena. Probably not the best path for XP in hindsight.
I don't think there was really any special drops in Splitpaw either before the revamp but it was 20 years ago and we never got very deep into the zone. We moved on by level 16 or so to Oasis.
