Tomb of Sargeras

The Tomb of Sargeras is a tomb that contains an untold source of power. Aegwynn, the most powerful of the guardians defeated the dark Titan Sargeras in a battle that took place somewhere in Northrend, imprisoning his body under the sea in the ancient Night Elf city of Suramar.

By travelling through it people can traverse the distance between stars in a short time. This realm however is the home to malevolent spirits such as demons who seek to destroy our reality. The Twisting Nether is thought to be the link between all of the dimensions in the multiverse. It is utilized by the Titans to create the many worlds under their watch, and later as well by Sargeras in the creation of the Burning Legion.

World of Draenor, The

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 was not until Illidan Stormrage and his band of Blood Elves and Naga arrived that the world was freed from Magtheridon's iron grip.

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 military might and in diplomatic fortitude. This was bitterly proven when Alterac's leader, Lord Aliden Perenolde, made an attempt to assist the orcish Horde in exchange for the survival of his kingdom 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. James Strom Thurmond (December 5, 1902 â€“ June 26, 2003) represented South Carolina in the United States Senate from 1954 to April 1956 and November 1956 to 1964 as a Democrat and from 1964 to 2003 as a Republican. ...

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 exiled 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 remained 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 in search of ancient relics has sparked conflict between the two encampments.

Strahnbrad

Early in the Third War, Blackrock Orcs not affiliated with Thrall's Horde launched an assault on this town that was repelled by Alliance troops under Prince Arthas. Strahnbrad now serves as a major stronghold of the Syndicate. Arthas Menethil (also known as Prince Arthas or Death Knight) is a fictional character in the Warcraft universe — a fictional universe in which a series of games and books are set. ...

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, housed within the tallest tower in the city. 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. Former home of Ras Frostwhisper, a scourge lich.

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. The remnants of Stromgarde's military are stationed here. Refuge Pointe also stands as the entrance to the Arathi Basin battleground, where a battle for resource acquisition 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 was completely destroyed. Since Lordaeron has become so dangerous of late, the route is now rarely traversed and the dwarves of Ironforge have been occupied with the growing conflict with the Dark Iron Dwarves, who seem intent of destroying the remaining span, and have been unable to repair it.

Arathi Basin

Arathi Basin is a new Battleground added in the latest patch. The Alliance entrance is in Refuge Pointe, while the Horde entrance is in Hammerfall. In this Battleground, each side has 15 members. There are 5 capturable resource locations, the Stables, Gold Mine, Lumber Mill, Blacksmith, and Farm. The idea of the game is to collect 2000 Resources. The more resource locations you own, the faster you will gain resources. One good strategy is to have one group go to Stables, one to the Lumber Mill, and one to the Gold Mine. If you play on Horde, the same strategy applies, except instead of the Stables, it'll be the Farm.

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. Currently they are under the control of Gilneas.

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

The nation-state of Gilneas is located on the Peninsula directly south of Silverpine Forest. A member of the Alliance only out of necessity during the Second War, 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 â€” a fictional universe in which a series of games and books are set. ...

Greymane Wall, The

The wall separates the Peninsula of Gilneas from Silverpine Forest and the rest of Lorderon. Before the outbreak of the plague and the rise of The Scourge, the leaders of Gilneas decided to shut the gates of Greymane Wall, due to political tensions between them and the Alliance. It remains closed in present days as refugees being driven out by the Undead remain locked out. It has been speculated that Gilneas is trying to fight off an invasion by the Naga, or perhaps that Deathwing himself is still involved in the politics of the kingdom. The Scourge faction logo. ... Two Naga as seen in the World of Warcraft. ...

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 bucolic 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 Forsaken-held 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 War. 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. Gryphons 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 succumbed 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 assistance as well as soldiers during the Third War. Recently it has contributed fewer soldiers and supplies, instead choosing to secure its borders. It is the home of the mighty Gryphons who the Wildhammer Dwarves use in combat.

Quel'Danil Lodge

The larger of two High Elf outposts in Lordaeron. It acts as an embassy of sorts to continue the remaining High Elves' diplomatic relations with other races. High Elves as seen in the World of Warcraft. ...

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 occurring 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 Warcraft universe â€” a fictional universe in which a series of games and books are set. ...

Plaguelands, East

The Eastern Plaguelands are located in the extreme northeast of the continent of Lordaeron. This area is riddled with the powerful, mindless agents of the Scourge. As this region was the first to be affected by the plague, the landscape is particularly noxious and toxic compared to the Western Plaguelands. The ground is blighted and sickly and the sky is a dusky orange. 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. Quel'Thalas is located north of Eastern Plaguelands although the route to Quel'Thalas remains blocked. The Lordaeron insignia. ...

Stratholme

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.

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.

Plaguelands, West

The regions known as the Plaguelands in northern Lordaeron 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 principal 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 existence 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, and Uther the Lightbringer's tomb on Sorrow Hill is the only bastion of sanity in a crazed region.

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, Arthas wanted to revive the the fallen Kel'thuzad's by carrying his remains in a special urn. The Paladins of the Silver Hand protected the urn because it contained the remnants of their fallen king. Arthas, now a Death Knight, later attacked the city and killed many of the most prominent Paladins in the order — including his old mentor Uther the Lightbringer, to retrieve said urn. Andorhal last served as the headquarters of the Lich Araj the Summoner, an agent of the Scourge, before he was killed by Alliance forces.

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

Caer Darrow is an island located in Darrowmere Lake. It was the site of the Runestone at Caer Darrow, an ancient monolith sacred to the high elves of Quel'Thalas. The artifact is said to have been erected by elven druids, a description which provides the only indication in the lore that any high elves ever followed a druidic path. The island has also been the site of one or more human fortifications dating back to the days of the empire of Arathor. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...

During the Second War, the island was invaded by the Horde, the fortress sacked, and the sacred Runestone captured. The stone was hewn into pieces which were used to create the Altars of Storms, arcane structures which allowed Gul'dan to instill magic into the Horde's ogre allies.

When Uther the Lightbringer embarked for the isle 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, they confessed their nation's treachery to the Alliance, leading to Alterac's eventual ruin.

Following the Second War, the fortress at Caer Darrow was restored; the rule of the island by the Barov family dates back to at least this time. The Barovs were extremely wealthy, owning the land which comprised Caer Darrow, Brill, Southshore, and Tarren Mill. Not content with their enormous holdings, the Barovs entered into a deal with the human mage Kel'Thuzad, leader of the Cult of the Damned. The once opulent House of Barov become the horrific Scholomance, a school of necromancy. The spirits of many of the island's inhabitants remain, seeking redress for the horrific wrongs committed there. KelThuzad is a fictional character in the Warcraft fantasy universe. ... Scholomance is a location set in Blizzard Entertainments video game and book series, Warcraft. ...

Quel'Thalas

Quel 'Thalas is the homeland of the High Elves. Situated on a massive peninsula in the north-eastern region of Lordaeron, the magical forestlands were always impassable for strangers. Walls of trees and the great elven gates protected the capital of Silvermoon from invasion and a series of magical runestones, one of which was the Runestone of Caer Darrow shielded the elven source of magic, the Sunwell, from Demonic corruption. The Rangercorps, traditionally led by a descendant of the Windrunner House, protected the borderlands and were a great contribution to the Grand Alliance. The Council of Silvermoon, led traditionally by one of the ancient Sunstrider Dynasty — at the time of the Second War, Lord Anastarian Sunstrider — were less eager to aid the Alliance in their struggle against the Horde. Only when the forestwalls of Quel'thalas burned in Orcish fires did Anastarian promise total allegiance to the Alliance. It was shortlived, however, as the high elves saw little use for the Alliance after the defeat of the Horde and withdrew soon after the end of Khadgar's expedition to Draenor. Though the borderlands of Quel'thalas were decimated, Silvermoon was never reached by the Horde. In the fictional Warcraft Universe, Quel Thalas is the homeland of the high elves. ... High Elves as seen in the World of Warcraft. ...

When the Plague of Undeath gripped the Northlands and Arthas succeeded his father, he invaded Quel'thalas with an army of undead, turning the tranquil woods and glades into toxic plaguelands and bringing back the elven citizens as the pitiful — but feared — banshees. Silvermoon was sacked and the Sunwell desecrated as Arthas tapped its magical energies to resurrect his mentor, Kel'thuzad. Many elves fled, but for most it was too late. The Ranger-General Sylvanas Windrunner was slaughtered by Arthas and brought back to as an undead banshee Dark Ranger, becoming one of his high-ranking lieutenants. She grabbed the first chance she got to betray Arthas and led many of the undead in a rebellion against Arthas and the Lich King. She did not, however, regain control over Quel'thalas, and most of the borderlands are still controlled by Kel'thuzad. 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. ...

More recently, the Blood Elves now members of the Horde — survivors of the bloody culling of Quel'thalas — have reclaimed their once-glorious kingdom (or perhaps they never left?) and have restored much of it to its former state. It currently serves as their base of operations in Azeroth. The Blood Elves are a race in the fantasy Warcraft Universe. ... The Horde as seen in, the World of Warcraft. ...

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, as do some High Elves who fled the attacks of the Scourge.

Silvermoon

The capital of Quel'Thalas, Silvermoon stands in Eversong Forest, the very heart of the Elven lands. 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. However, the Blood Elves have since reclaimed and rebuilt their great capital, which serves as the center of a new, albeit diminished, Blood Elven kingdom. It will provide a second major city in the Eastern Kingdoms for Horde players. The Horde as seen in, the 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.

Ghostlands

Little is known of this shadowy region of Quel'thalas, north of the Plaguelands. It is also known as the Blackened Woods because the Blood Elves burned the forests here to give the Scourge as Pyhrric a victory as possible. It is likely, however, that vengeful phantoms of the battles with the Scourge still linger here.

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 Shadowsong befriended the Blood Elf Bloodmage, Prince Kael'Thas.

Brill

Brill was the town where the necromancer Kel'Thuzad, still a living man, first started his experiments with the Plague that would come to be the demise of the strong Human kingdom of Lordaeron. The success of the infestation was such that it allowed Kel'Thuzad to convince the Lich King to launch the invasion even before it was planned. In the MMORPG World of Warcraft, Brill lays near the center of the shady Tirisfal Glades, serving as an operational base for the startling Forsaken. It is also very close to the Forsaken's main bastion, the Undercity, built below the ruins of the former Palace Gardens.

Other locations

However, during Warcraft III, Brill is located between Andorhal and Strahnbrad and is the site of Arthas' efforts to destroy the Plague of Undeath. In addition, in the Warcraft manuals, Brill is located Northeast of Andorhal in a small cove or east of the capital surrounded by hills on three sides.

Undercity, The (Ruins of Lordaeron)

The Undercity was once the design of Arthas after he passed into undeath. After the sack of the old capital of Lordaeron, he ordered his minions to dramatically expand the catacombs beneath the city for use as his new capital. After the weakened Lich King called to him for aid he "temporarily" abandoned his plans; during the coup by the Dreadlords it served as Balnazzar's stronghold before Sylvanas, Varimathras and Grand Marshal Garithos overthrew him; Garithos was killed almost immediately afterward and Sylvanas claimed Lordaeron's capital for herself. Since then, the subterranean Undercity has been completed, becoming the seat of power of the Forsaken.

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, like the arena in Dire Maul. Every 3 hours, the pirate "Short" John Mithril 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.

Grom'gol

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.

Westfall is a golden prairie along the western cost of Azeroth. Across a river to the east are Elwynn Forest and Duskwood, and beyond the southern mountains lies Stranglethorn Vale. 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 wildlife include vultures, wolves, and goretusk boars.

Sentinel Hill

Sentinel Hill is the location of the Westfall militia under the command of Gryan Stoutmantle.

Northern 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 forestlands 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.

Barrens, The

Covering a sprawling amount of eastern Kalimdor, the Barrens are a central hub of Horde activity on the continent. The area is connected to both Durotar and Mulgore, which contain Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff respectively, two out of the three most significant cities in the Horde. Additionally, it is adjacent to the contested areas of Ashenvale, the Stonetalon Mountains, and Thousand Needles. Travel through most of the regions of Kalimdor will probably require passage through the Barrens. Three encampments appear in the Barrens; the largest is the aptly named Crossroads.

"Barren chat" is a well known meme of The Barrens area. Barren chat, taking place among players in the General chat channel of the Barrens, is known for being being childish and immature. Whenever immature chat is going on elsewhere in the Warcraft Universe, it is usually referred to as being just as bad as "Barren chat". The term meme ( in the IPA; rhymes with dream; from the Greek word mimema for something imitated) first came into popular use with the publication of the book The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins in 1976. ...

Camp Taurajo

Camp Taurajo is essentially a stopping point between the Crossroads and Bloodhoof Village, leading to Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff respectively. It sees little activity except from those walking to Mulgore or Thousand Needles (or the areas beyond). In World of Warcraft, Camp Taurajo recently received a flight path, making it easier to access and cutting down on that agonizingly long walk through the southern half of the Barrens.

Crossroads, The

Situated to the north, the Crossroads function as a gateway between Durotar to the east, Ashenvale to the north, and the Stonetalon Mountains to the west.

In addition, four centaur clans wage a war for control of the land, the Gelkis, Magram, Kolkar, and Maraudine. Desolace is also notable for the two large burial grounds within it, the central Kodo Graveyard and the Valley of Bones to the south. A few enterprising Goblins from Ratchet and Gadgetzan can be found here trying to earn a living.

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 primarily 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.

Nighthaven

Mount Hyjal

Mount Hyjal was the site of the last great battle against the Burning Legion during the Third War. Right now the Hyjal area is forbidden to those playing World of Warcraft, however there is one way in. As the zone is completed within, there exists a graveyard for the ressurrection of characters who perish; thus, if your character dies on the outskirts of the zone, you can ressurect yourself at a graveyard inside. This is prevented with the 1.8 patch. Blizzard Entertainment has announced plans to add a legal entrance in the future.

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.

Theramore

The Theramore Isles are a group of islands off the coast of southern Kalimdor. Jaina Proudmoore, the daughter of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, founded the Human bastion on the Island of Theramore, the largest island of the group. Unfortunately, the island was soon occupied by Kul Tieras forces under the command of Admiral Proudmoore, who used the island to stage a war against the Horde. The Horde, under the leadership of their visionary warchief Thrall, and the help of the wanderer Beastmaster Rexxar, attacked Theramore Isles in defense of their newly founded kingdom of Durotar. The Horde successfully invaded the citadel located on the island and put an end to the Admiral's life. After the battle the Horde left the island untouched and in peace. In the World of Warcraft, Theramore Isle is a large Alliance stronghold. Though most residents are human refugees from Lordaeron, there is also a large minority of High Elves who had sailed for Kalimdor before the Scourge's conquest of Quel'Thalas. The many of the inhabitants and soldiers of Theramore are very likely survivors of the Battle of Hyjal, during which the Alliance played an important role as the front line of the defense at Mt. Hyjal. Jaina Proudmoore is the governor in town, which consists of many vendors, a Gryphon Master, and many quests found in the game either begin or end here.

Silithus

The insect infested southern section of Kalimdor. This area houses a section of the once great A'qiri empire, known as Ahn'Quiraj. It is currently uninhabited, but the central temple is sealed off by the Night Elves, who attempted to prevent an infestation from breaking out. Judging by the ruins in the area, as well as the massive Silithid colonies, they were unsuccessful in their attempt. The Cenarion Circle maintains a constant presence in Silithus, at Cenarion Hold. From here, they monitor the Silithids, whom some believe to be a force so powerful and threatening that the Alliance and Horde must ally to combat. In addition to the Cenarion Druids, a second, more ominous presence has recently made itself known in Silithus. The Bronze Dragonflight, Brood of Nozdormu, has returned to the desert for the first time in ten thousand years.
