View source for Azeroth

{{Stub}}
'''Azeroth''' is the name of the world in which the majority of the ''Warcraft'' series is set. The world of Azeroth is the birthplace of many races, most notably elves ([[Night elf|night elves]], [[High elf|high elves]], and [[Blood elf|blood elves]]), [[human]]s, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[tauren]], [[goblin]]s, [[troll]]s, [[gnome]]s, and [[dragon]]s.

==Geography==
The world of Azeroth comprises three major continents with a number of islands scattered about them. The [[Great Sea]] is located between the three landmasses and has at its center the [[Maelstrom]]—a tumultuous storm of tidal fury and chaotic energies born of the destruction of the [[Well of Eternity]].<ref>[https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/The_Sundering_of_the_World The Sundering of the World]</ref>

To the east lie the [[Eastern Kingdoms]], which is made up of three major regions: [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]] to the south, [[Khaz Modan]] in the middle, and [[Lordaeron]] to the north, these last two being separated by a channel and connected by the dwarven bridge of [[Thandol Span]].

To the west is [[Kalimdor]], which is further divided into [[Northern Kalimdor]], [[Central Kalimdor]], and [[Southern Kalimdor]].

North of Great Sea lies the frozen continent of [[Northrend]], the roof of the world.

Before the [[War of the Ancients]], all these continents and islands were one single landmass known as [[Kalimdor (landmass)|Kalimdor]]. At the end of the war with the implosion of the Well causing the [[Great Sundering]], the landmass shattered into three continents, while the sunken land in between became the Great Sea.

The [[Forbidding Sea]] is the expanse of water to the east of the Eastern Kingdoms. The [[Veiled Sea]] sits west of Kalimdor.
