Azeroth

This article is a stub. It has incomplete information and will hopefully be done in the near future.

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 elves, high elves, and blood elves), humans, dwarves, tauren, goblins, trolls, gnomes, and dragons.

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.

To the east lie the Eastern Kingdoms, which is made up of three major regions: 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. 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.
