World of Draenor, The

Main article: Draenor

Draenor (referred to as Outland after its partial destruction) is a harsh world that glares in a reddish hue. The waters seem foul, but this is misleading: the planet is capable of supporting life. It is the homeland of the Orcs and other related races (Ogres, Draenor Giants, and Draenei) that invaded Azeroth through the rift called the Dark Portal. The energies of this and subsequent portals opened by the Orcs were so intense that the world was ripped apart, and nowadays, only floating islands and debris remain. The world was originally a dense green swampland, but the demonic corruption of the Orcs by the Burning Legion scarred the land so thoroughly that it was left as little more than a dusty wasteland. The dominant life forms of the world were once the Draenei. Gul'dan the Warlock describes these beings as "a weak people -- hardly worth the effort of our raiding sweep". After the destruction of Draenor, a few Draenei remained alive on Outland, but their numbers were further crippled by the Fel Orcs led by the Pit Lord Magtheridon, who completely conquered the remains of the planet. It wasn't until Illidan Stormrage and his band of High Elves and Naga arrived that the world was freed from Magtheridon's iron grip.

Lordaeron

Main article: Lordaeron

In Warcraft II, Anduin Lothar led his refugees to Lordaeron after his defeat by the Orcs, where he met with Terenas Menethil, King of Lordaeron. With the leaders of the other Human nations, the Dwarves of Khaz Modan, and the High Elves of Quel'thalas, they formed the Alliance of Lordaeron to combat the orcs.

Alterac Mountains

The Alterac Mountains are a range in central Lordaeron. The mountains are tall enough in some places to facilitate perpetual snow. The ruined kingdom of Alterac was once nestled in the Alterac Mountains. It is not known whether the kingdom was named for the mountains or vice versa.


Alterac

An ancient kingom nestled in the Alterac Mountains. The kingdom was formed shortly after the kingdom of Strom divided hundreds of years before the First War. Alterac was generally acknowledged as the weakest of the kingdoms of Lordaeron, both in miliary might and in diplomatic fortitude. This was bitterly proven when Alterac's leader, Baron Perenolde, made an attempt to assisst the orcish Horde during the Second War, and Alterac was ultimately defeated and ruined by the armies of the Alliance. Perenolde has since resurfaced as the leader of the Syndicate, an anti-Alliance group dedicated to the kingdom's restoration and vengeance on the Alliance figures who they feel betrayed them.


Alterac Valley

Main article: Alterac Valley

Alterac Valley was one of 2 battleground instances introduced in patch 1.5. It contains Dun Baldar the Dwarven Stormpike Expedition base and the Frostwolf Orcs of Frostwolf Keep. Before the First Great War, Gul'dan exhiled the Frostwolves clan to the valley. Thrall the true leader of the Frostwolf Clan in Warcraft: Lord of the Clans united all the clans, but the Frostwolves decided to remain in the valley led by the shaman, Drek'Thar. However in the World of Warcraft, the introduction of the Dwarven Stormpike Expedition into the valley insearch of ancient relics has sparked conflict between the two encampments.

Dalaran

Main article: Dalaran

Dalaran is a small, magocratic nation led by a group of Wizards and Archmagi collectively known as the Kirin Tor. The capital of the nation of Dalaran is the Violet Citadel, located at Cross Island. Dalaran was founded several hundred years before the events of Warcraft took place, by the first humans to learn magic. They travelled to Cross Island, a nexus of powerful ley-energies, and built a home far from the prying eyes of the conservatives who governed the kingdom of Arathor. The fabric of reality in and around Cross Island was so warped that the magi of Dalaran were able to build enchanted spires and towers of impossible height. The city soon became a desired target of the Burning Legion, who sought the potent magics of the region. The Order of Tirisfal was thus founded between the Kirin Tor and the High Elves to combat the demons in secret, away from the prying eyes of the public. The city of Dalaran In the fictional Warcraft Universe, Dalaran is a small, magocratic nation led by a group of Wizards and Archmagi collectively known as the Kirin Tor. ... In the fictional Warcraft Universe, the Kirin Tor were the ruling body of the magocratic societies of Dalaran, based in the Violet Citadel, before the downfall of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. ... In the Warcraft universe the Violet Citadel stands as the capital of Dalaran and the seat of power of the Kirin Tor. ...


Violet Citadel

The Violet Citadel stands as the capital of Dalaran and the seat of power of the Kirin Tor. However, the name "Dalaran" has also been applied to the city itself, while the Violet Citadel has been used in reference only to the arcane compound of the Kirin Tor. During the second invasion of the Burning Legion, the Violet Citadel was besieged by Scourge forces and was ultimately destroyed by Archimonde. To this day the ruins are guarded by a special shield as well as Dalaran magi. Rebuilding has begun at a slow pace because of the war that has broken out between Alliance forces, Forsaken forces, and the Scourge. Archimonde is a demon lord and warlock who originated from the Twisting Nether in the fantasy Warcraft Universe. ...


Arathi Highlands

A land of picturesque rolling plains and blue-gray stones, the Arathi Highlands are home to the skeleton of the world's most ancient human kingdom. The kingdom of Arathor made its seat in the city of Strom after the Great Troll Wars, long before the First Great War. Strom was built upon the cliffs overlooking the Great Sea. Nowadays, the ruins are all that remain of the once-great empire. The crumbling Thoradin's Wall marks the ancient boundary of the old kingdom. Since the fall of Human power in the region, both Trolls and Ogres have taken up residence in various areas of the Highlands. Long before even the humans settled the land, however, the Arathi Highlands were home to powerful elementals. Monolithic stone circles pay tribute to their ancient activities. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a real-time strategy computer game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 1994. ...


Stromgarde

After the Arathor Empire split, the capital city of Strom was largely abandoned in favor of better climes to the north. The few loyal members of the royal family who remained renamed the city Stromgarde, as it was now a lone fortress in a deserted region. During the Second War it served as a primary refueling center of the Alliance fleets, but it withdrew its support from the Alliance soon after the destruction of the Dark Portal. Though Stromgarde was largely spared the wrath of the Scourge during the Third War, the city was ultimately abandoned and has fallen into ruin. These ruins are now occupied by both Ogres and a sect of Humans known as the Syndicate. It is believed that the Syndicate are behind the recent assassination of Stromgarde's ruler, Thoras Trollbane. The Alliance have now established a foothold in Stromgarde, and regular mounted patrols sweep through its outer rim, clearing a path to the Alliance held sector. This is an alphabetical list of the major and minor groups and organizations in the Warcraft universe — a fictional universe in which a series of video games and books are set. ...


Refuge Pointe

The Refuge Pointe has become the primary foothold of the Alliance in the Arathi Highlands in the aftermath of the power-struggle within the city of Stromgarde that continues to this day. Refuge Pointe also stands as the entrance to the Arathi Basin battleground, where a battle for resource aquisition continues,


The Thandol Span

The Thandol Span is an enormous bridge that spans the channel of sea separating the continents of Lordaeron and Khaz Modan. The bridge stands as a testament to the vast engineering prowess of the Dwarves of Ironforge. Once, the Span was a major route of trade and travel, facilitating a vibrant exchange of goods and people between the cities of Lordaeron and Khaz Modan. Recently, the Span was damaged during the course of the Second War and one of the two bridges were completely destroyed. Since Lordaeron has become so dangerous of late, the route is now rarely traversed and the dwarves have not bothered to make repairs to the brige.


Crestfall

Crestfall is an island currently administered by Kul'Tiras. During the Second War it housed the Horde's primary naval base, which was attacked and put out of commission by the Alliance in anticipation of their campaign to retake the occupied kingdom of Stormwind, which had fallen to the Orcs in the First War.


Zul'dare

The Zul'dare Islands, south of the Lordaeron province of Hillsbrad, were occupied by the Horde at the opening of the Second War. An early Alliance victory there put an end to Horde attempts to open a western front against Lordaeron.


Tol Barad

The citadel of Tol Barad, on an island off the Stromgarde coast, was the first major point of contention in eastern Lordaeron between the Alliance and the Horde, which had previously occupied much of the dwarven kingdom of Ironforge. Alliance reinforcements saved the city from near destruction by Horde forces under the Black Tooth Grin Clan and captured their home base in the dwarven city of Dun Modr, winning the Alliance its first foothold in the liberation of Khaz Modan.


Gilneas

A nation-state is located on the Peninsula directly south of Silverpine Forest. Part of the Alliance during the First and Second Wars, the nation broke away from the Alliance after the aftermath of the Second War and became isolationist. The leaders of the state were influenced into leaving the alliance by Lord Prestor who was in reality the dragon aspect Deathwing. Neltharion the Earth Warder or Deathwing the Destroyer in other name, is a fictional character in the Warcraft universe — a fictional universe in which a series of games and books are set. ...


Greymane Wall, The

The wall seperates the Peninsula of Gilneas from Silverpine Forrest and the rest of Lorderon. After the outbreak of the plague and the rising of The Scourge, the leaders of Gilneas decided to shut the gates of Greymane Wall to protect the nation. It remains closed in present days as refugees being driven out by the Undead remain locked out. The Scourge faction logo. ...


Hillsbrad Foothills

The Hillsbrad Foothills are the foothills of the Alterac Mountains which surround the village of Hillsbrad. The region has come to mean all land between the mountains in the north and the sea in the south, and Silverpine Forest in the west and the Arathi Highlands in the east. The foothills were once a land of merry farms and rural villages, but the advent of the undead Scourge brought ruin and strife to the region. In the west, the village of Hillsbrad is still occupied by humans who continues to sow and reap every year despite the constant war in the region. On the seashore in the south is the human village of Southshore, and to the north near the entrance to the Alterac Mountains is the town of Tarren Mill.


Hillsbrad

Located in the west of the Hillsbrad Foothills, the village of Hillsbrad is a testament to the tenacity of the human race. After the First War, King Terenas Menethil allowed the refugees from Stormwind to settle in the region, and Hillsbrad became the headquarters of Anduin Lothar's government in exile. Though badly damaged by Horde attacks early in the Second War, it escaped the wrath of the Scourge during the Third. In spite of all the surrounding turmoil, the villagers of Hillsbrad still work tirelessly to provide resources for the war effort. Even the frequent hit-and-run attacks by small bands of Horde members do not deter the resolve of the village.


Southshore

Once a peaceful fishing and shipping village, Southshore has become the Alliance base of operations in the Hillsbrad Foothills. Recently fortified, towers have arisen around the perimeter of the town. Griffins fly to and from the port, and one can see and hear the sights and sounds of war. Southshore is so fortified because the Horde controlled village of Tarren Mill lies only a short distance away, and the Hillsbrad Foothills have become one of the fiercest fronts in the ongoing war.


Tarren Mill

Tarren Mill was once a sleepy human town and served as a base of operations during the Second War. The kingdom of Quel'thalas joined the Alliance after the garrison at Tarren Mill assisted in the rescue of a High Elf scouting party from a nearby Horde prison camp. In the aftermath of the Burning Legion's arrival, the village was soon infected by the Plague and its citizens succumed to the sickness, rising again as servants of the Lich King. When the Forsaken split from the Scourge in the middle of the war, the town was claimed in the name of the Dark Lady. Tarren Mill is now pitted against the humans of Southshore in a never-ending bid for supremacy in the region.


Hinterlands

The Hinterlands is the area where Aerie Peak, home of the Wildhammer Clan of Dwarves raise Gryphons. The Hinterlands is also home to a very large number of Forest Trolls, most notably the city of Jintha'Alor and The Altar of Zul.


Aerie Peak

Aerie Peak is home to the Wildhammer Dwarves, an ally of the Alliance during the First and Second Wars and continued to provide logistical assisstance as well as soldiers during the Third War. Recently it has contributed fewer soldiers and supplies, instead choosingb to secure its borders. It is the home of the mighty Gryphons who the WIldhammer Dwarves use in combat.


Kul Tiras

The nation of Kul Tiras, located off the coast of Khaz Modan, and led by the Proudmoore family, has been a staunch ally of the Alliance since its foundation. Admiral Proudmoore, leader of Kul Tiras, led the Alliance fleets during the Second War with great success and used Kul Tiras as a major supply base against the Orcs. During the Third War, Kul Tiras remained untouched by the plague and the strife occuring in Lordaeron, but it did supply many colonists and soldiers for the Alliance expedition to Kalimdor.


During the aftermath of the Third War, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore set sail from the island into the Great Sea seeking his daughter, Jaina Proudmoore. Upon reaching the shores of Kalimdor, the Kul Tiras navy immediatly attacked the orcish Horde, not knowing of the alliance that had overthrown the Burning Legion. The attack was ultimately dismantled however and much of the Kul Tiras navy was effectively destroyed with the death of Proudmoore. Kul Tiras is currently inaccessible in World of WarCraft. Jaina Proudmoore is a fictional character in the fantasy Warcraft Universe. ...


Plaguelands, East

The Eastern Plaguelands are located in the extreme northeast of the continent of Lordaeron. The undead plague did not discriminate between political boundaries, thus the Eastern Plaguelands comprise of the former lands of both the humans of Lordaeron and the High Elves of Quel'Thalas. This area is riddled with the powerful, mindless agents of the Scourge. The Eastern Plaguelands holds the destroyed town of Darrowshire, the small town of Corin's Crossing, the neutral Argent Dawn outpost of Light's Hope Chapel, Northdale, The fungal Plaguewood and the once-great Human city of Stratholme. Home of the High Elves of Azeroth, Quel'Thalas is located north of Eastern Plaguelands although the route to Quel'Thalas is currently being blocked and thus inaccessible for the moment.

Stratholme is a city of the Eastern Kingdoms in the Warcraft universe. ...


Strathholme

In Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, Stratholme was noted for having abundant natural resources in the form of oil, which the Alliance and Horde navies required for shipbuilding. Both factions fought at least one major battle for control of the city. It was one of the most prosperous cities of northern Lordaeron before Prince Arthas, ignoring the counsel of his mentor, Uther Lightbringer, slaughtered its inhabitants to stop the spread of the plague of undeath in Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos. The city succumbed nonetheless. In World of Warcraft, Stratholme is a high-level instance located in the Eastern Plaguelands. Both the undead Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade contest the region. The ravaged city is in constant flames. It is the seat of power of the Scourge in Lordaeron, and supposedly, Kel'Thuzad himself commands the Scourge from the torn city. World of Warcraft (WoW) is a class-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. ...

Tyr's Hand

A small, fortified stronghold in the Eastern Plaguelands. During the Second War, this hamlet in the Northlands was the site of a disruptive peasant rebellion that was later linked to Alterac spies working with the Horde. Having resisted the initial assaults of the Scourge, it is currently being used as the base of operations for the Scarlet Crusade in the area. The Crusade have been using this stronghold to strike at the undead city of Stratholme. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...


Plaguelands, West

The regions known as the Plaguelands in northern Loraeron are those which are still controlled by the Undead Scourge. So vast are the Plaguelands, that they have been divided into eastern and western sections. The Western Plaguelands are comparatively more tame than their eastern counterpart. This is an understatement, however, as the Western Plaguelands are still extremely dangerous. The principle difference between the two regions is that the Eastern Plaguelands are almost completely consumed by the Undead corruption, while life in the Western Plaguelands still barely grips on to the land in a losing battle. Sickly, withered trees and shrubs still eke out an existance in the once-verdant lands. The Western Plaguelands are home to several important sites. The ruins of Andorhal sit on the shores of Darrowmere Lake (whose waters are corrupted with an ichor of undeath). The country hamlet of Hearthglen sits in a sickly valley to the north.


Andorhal

Andorhal was one of the primary distributors of grain in Lordaeron. Following his experiment in Brill, Kel'Thuzad used the city to spread the plague of undeath across the kingdom via carts of grain, an act for which Arthas hunted him down and killed him nearby. Following Kel'Thuzad's defeat, a maddened Arthas headed for Stratholme and massacred the infected inhabitants of the city. After the fall of Lordaeron, Andorhal fell quickly into ruin, and is currently inhabited by tormented spirits and diseased corpses.


Hearthglen

A town in the north of the Western Plaguelands, left relatively untouched by the Scourge in the Third War, now appropriated by the Scarlet Crusade who have turned it into a major base of operations. During the Third War, Prince Arthas tracked a shipment of grain infected with the Plague of Undeath to the town of Hearthglen. He, along with soldiers of Lordaeron's army, were able to slay those infected by the shipment before they could spread the disease to the entire town. However, shortly thereafter a large force of Undead laid siege to the town, but Arthas was able to repel the invaders until Uther arrived with reinforcements.


Caer Darrow

On an island in the lake is the old monastary of Caer Darrow, formerly a High Elf haven. During the Second War the island was sacked by the Horde and its sacred Runestone captured. The stone was hewn into Altars of Storms, which were used by Gul'dan to instill magic into the Horde's Ogre allies. When Uther the Lightbringer embarked on a mission of mercy to aid and comfort the survivors of the bloody raid, he was ambushed by privateers from Alterac. In the naval battle that followed, some of the sailors were captured; during questioning in Lordaeron's Capital City, they confessed their nation's treachery to the Alliance, leading to Alterac's eventual ruin.


It was decided that the monastery would be abandoned at the end of the Second War. The twisting catacombs beneath the ruins have since become the Scholomance. The Scholomance was a mythical school of dark magic said to have been run by the Devil, located by Lake Hermanstadt near the city of Sibiu in the Transylvania region of Romania. ...


Quel'Thalas

Main article: Quel 'Thalas

Quel 'Thalas is the homeland of the High Elves. It is a magical forestland in the most northern corner of the Eastern Kingdoms. Quel'Thalas borders both the Troll homeland of Zul'Aman, as well as the Human provinces of Northeron and the kingdom of Lordaeron. The Ranger Corps, traditionally led by a decendant of the Windrunner house, protected the borders of the lands and its treewalls. Magical Runestones guarded against Demonic energies, and enchanted Elfgates protected against invaders. In the fictional Warcraft Universe, Quel Thalas is the homeland of the high elves. ... High Elves as seen in the World of Warcraft. ...


After the Burning Legion's invasion, most of Quel'Thalas was overrun by the Scourge and the few High Elves who survived the invasion fled to Kalimdor or elsewhere. Only ten percent of the High Elf race survives today, not counting the Blood Elves who also survived and later torched their beloved realm to spite the Scourge. The corrupted, shadowy and rotting forests are now home to the Undead that could not be controlled by the banshee queen Sylvanas Windrunner and therefore it remains under the control of the Lich Kel'Thuzad, the most trusted collaborator of Arthas. These lands are now known under the name of the Eastern Plaguelands, but not much remains but ash, sorrow, and stirring phantoms. There is also a zone that cannot be accessed in World of Warcraft, which could arguably be the shelter of some High Elves who refused to escape. Sylvanas Windrunner was a dedicated and loyal Ranger General of the High Elven kingdom of QuelThalas in the fantasy Warcraft Universe but was tragically transformed into a Banshee by the Death Knight Arthas and is now known as the Dark Lady, Queen of the Forsaken. ...


Zul'Aman

Zul'Aman is the Forest Troll homeland and was the site of many battles against the High Elves when they first landed upon the shores of the Eastern Kingdoms. Many Forest Trolls still survive in these woods and continue to fight the Undead.


Silvermoon

The capital of Quel'Thalas, Silvermoon stands in the very heart of the Elven lands, and from it once reigned the Council of Silvermoon, traditionally led by the ancient Sunstrider dynasty. The city fell to the Scourge during the Third War, its populace massacred and scattered. Its ruins are currently inaccessible in World of Warcraft.


Sunwell Grove

Situated on a small island across from Silvermoon, the Sunwell Grove was the pool of energy established by the High Elves and is the source of the High Elves magical powers. During the Third War, Arthas laid siege to Quel'Thalas and used its powers to bring Kel'Thuzad back to life, thus corrupting its magical properties. It is believed that a group of dragons are trying to restore the corrupted font.


Silverpine

The seemingly tranquil forest is home to the insurrectionist Dalarian mage town of Ambermill, as well as mystic Pyrewood Village, with their enchanted inhabitants. But the main threat comes from Shadowfang Keep, home of Archmage Arugal, sworn enemy of the Forsaken Undead. The only sanctuary for the Horde is at The Sepulcher to the north-central area.


Ambermill

The site of a battle during the Third War in which a band of Night Elves under the command of Tyrande Whisperwind and Maiev Shadowstorm befriended the Blood Elf Bloodmage, Prince Kael-Thas.

Curubashi Arena, The

Gurubashi Arena is located around the central area of Stranglethorn Vale. There are two cities: Grom'gol for the Horde faction in the western area of the zone, and Booty Bay, a place for both factions. Gurubashi is a special area where, once you enter, all players not in your party (including your own faction) can attack and be attacked. This area is a PVP area, unlike any other in Azeroth. Every 3 hours, the pirate Mithril Jim lays a chest in the middle of the arena. Like a cage match, the last man standing wins the contents of the chest.


Booty Bay

There are both Horde and Alliance bases scattered through Stranglethorn. The two largest are the Orc camp of Grom'gol, midway along the western coast, and the city of Booty Bay, located in a protected cove at the southern cape of Stranglethorn, and controlled by the neutral Blackwater Raiders pirate faction. There are also a pair of small Alliance-faction camps in the north end of the jungle: a riverside camp inhabited by Hemet Nesingwary and his fellow hunters, and a small military outpost (the so-called "Rebel Camp") populated by soldiers from Stormwind.

Swamp of Sorrow

Swamp of Sorrows were first visited during the opening campaign of the Orcs' invasion into Azeroth, the Swamp of Sorrows is a dark, blasted area of festering swampland that the Orcs used to set up their initial base of operations. Dark and forbidding, yet teeming with rich life, the swamps were later transformed into the Horde's main staging ground from which they attacked the kingdom of Azeroth during the First War. Quickly spreading from the dark swamps and building the mountain fortress of Blackrock Spire, the Orcs drove the Humans before them, razing the city of Stormwind and forcing the refugees to flee across the seas to the northern lands of Lordaeron. Near the end of the Second War however, Human forces led by Anduin Lothar, regent lord of Azeroth, returned to drive the orcs from their lands and destroy the dark portal, created and expanded by the mad wizard Medivh. Although this action was to cost Lothar his life, the human forces managed to drive the orcs back, capture their warchief, Orgrim Doomhammer, and destroy the dark portal, ending (so they thought) all chances of the Orcs returning to their lands. On the insistence of the mage Khadgar, one-time apprentice to Medivh, the fortress city of Nethergarde Keep was constructed at the location of the now-destroyed portal, leaving behind a permanent force of troops to watch over the ruins and prevent any possible Orcish insurgents. Orgrim Doomhammer is a fictional character in the world of Azeroth in Warcraft, a game series by Blizzard Entertainment. ... In the fictional Warcraft universe, Archmage Khadgar was one of the most powerful wizards to have ever lived, and one of the greatest heroes of the Alliance. ...

Westfall contains several farms, only one of which (the Saldeans') is still inhabited. The other farms have all been overrun, abandoned, or burned. The Alliance-held tower of Sentinel Hill dominates the center of the prairie, accompanied by an inn and lumber mill. Mechanical scarecrows known as harvest watchers rampage through all the fields of Westfall, destroying crops and making farming impossible. Riverpaw gnolls have set up camps all along the coastal cliffs, and in certain inland regions, and murlocs infest the entire coastline. Westfall contains two other mines: the Jangolode Mine in the north, and the Gold Coast Quarry in the west. Its fauna include vultures, wolves, and goretusk boars.

Nothern Kalimdor

Ashenvale

Ashenvale is the name of the expansive forest that covers much of the area surrounding Mount Hyjal in Northern Kalimdor. Tended to for thousands of years by the Night Elves, Ashenvale became an enchanted forest of arboreal beauty and tranquility with giant trees adorned with leaves in hues of green and lavender. Ashenvale once represented all the forestladnds surrounding Hyjal, but the northwest portion of the forest was corrupted by a demonic taint in the Third War and was known afterward as Felwood. Ashenvale currently stretches from the Veiled Sea in the west to the Southfury River in the east and from Mount Hyjal in the north to the Stonetalon Mountains and the Barrens of Kalimdor in the south.


The deep forest is home to many creatures including both wild animals and sentient beings. The Night Elves were the first major race of people to populate the forests of Ashenvale. Before them however, the sons and daughters of Cenarius (the Keepers of the Grove and the dryads) tended the land and the trees. Living alongside these mystical creatures were the wild bear-men known as the Furbolgs. Upon meeting the Night Elves, the two races became fast friends and remained allies for many generations to come. As much as the Night Elves sought to keep the land free of corruption, some taints ultimately took root. In the northeast regions of Ashenvale the vile, demonic satyrs established settlements and have proven hard to shake loose. In the southeast, demons of a much fouler and chaotic nature have corrupted the land. This region has come to be known as Felfire Hill. In recent times, the need for supplies of wood has led the Horde to the rich supply in Ashenvale. Established during the Third War, the Warsong Lumber Mill remains a steady source of lumber fueling the Horde's endeavors. In east-central Ashenvale, another small Horde outpost known as Splintertree Post was constructed as a hub of travel and questing in the forest. It also serves as a strategic foothold in a Night Elf-dominated territory. In the far west, upon the Zoram Strand, the Horde has constructed another small outpost known as the Zoram'Gar Outpost.


Astranaar

The Night Elves themselves also have several holdings in Ashenvale. The most important of these is the village of Astranaar, which serves as the Alliance's main base in Ashenvale. The Silverwing Outpost is strategic because of its proximity to the Horde-controlled Barrens. Silverwind Refuge on the shore of Mystral Lake and Maestra's Post serve as other Alliance controlled outposts in Ashenvale.

Felwood

A thin stripe in between Moonglade and Ashenvale.

In the northern part of Felwood there's a cave named the Tibermaw Hold, which leads to both Moonglade and Winterspring.


Bloodvenom Post

Talonbranch Glade

This is an Alliance outpost that has been established to keep a close watch on Horde and Fubolg activity. It is mostly run by Night Elves.


Moonglade

After the night elves left Nighthaven for their newly built city of Darnassus, it was claimed by the druids of Cenarius, and the Moonglade has become their secluded sanctuary. Druids can teleport to the Moonglade at will, though other characters may reach it as well. Moonglade is a contested terrority in the northern Kalimdor, within the World of Warcraft game universe. It is meant to be a peaceful training area for the Druids, which can be either faction. As such the guards are made up of the neutral Cenarion Circle. The Moonglade is primarly meant for Druids, as such they are the only class that can easily enter the Moonglade using a teleportation spell. Other classes can enter the Moonglade via Timbermaw Hold in northern Felwood. The creatures in the Hold, level 50+, are initially hostile to players of the game, restricting easy entry to the Moonglade to non-Druids until level 50. Once there, non-Druids can discover flight paths that allow them to return to the Moonglade with ease. The primary town in the Moonglade is Night Haven and is the site of continued war between the Horde and Alliance but it does not erupt very often into the peaceful Moonglade. In addition, there are primarily only Druid quests in the Moonglade, so other characters do not benefit from it as much. On some PvP servers, upper level characters come to the Moonglade to kill lower level characters, as very few of the high level characters have any need to come to Moonglade.

World Tree

When Illidan Stormrage stole some drops of water from the remnants of the original Well of Eternity, he transplanted them to a lake at the peak of Mount Hyjal, causing it to form itself into a new Well of Eternity. To bless the Night Elves who came, Nozdromu and Alexstrazsa, two of the great Dragon Aspects, gave them an enchanted acorn, which sprung up as Nordrassil, the World Tree. After the first Invasion of the Burning Legion, the Night Elves became bound to the tree. It granted them the use of nature-magic, which was not as dangerous as arcane magic, and made them immortal. During the second invasion, the tree was attacked by Archimonde, and was almost drained of power before he was destroyed. Archimonde's massive skeleton can still be seen sprawling at the roots of the great tree.
