The sea surrounding the Maelstrom bears the name of Great Sea, while east of the Eastern Kingdoms lies the Forbidding Sea and west of Kalimdor is the Veiled Sea. The Eastern Kingdoms can further be divided into subcontinents, from north to south: Quel'Thalas (meaning "High Kingdom" in elven tongue), Lordaeron (which translates to "Land of Peaceful People", Khaz Modan ("Mountains of Khaz") and a subcontinent also named Azeroth. However, Azeroth is still torn by conflict, hate, and war.įour continents are known to exist in modern times on Azeroth, one in each geographical direction from a central Maelstrom of magical energies: the Eastern Kingdoms to the east, Kalimdor to the west, Northrend to the north and Pandaria to the south. Although ravaged by conflict, somehow through trickery, betrayal, and sheer blood, Azeroth has survived the Burning Legion four times. Other major powers include the naga, qiraji, and Scarlet Crusade. After the Third War, three major powers emerged: the Scourge, Horde, and Alliance. The peoples of Azeroth have fought brutally against the demons and their servants, and much blood was, and is still being, shed. Gradually, races were dragged to Azeroth (such as the orcs, draenei, and ogres), others evolved, and others were brought up from the dust itself. One day, the demonic armies of the Burning Legion came and shattered the peace and led the night elves to sunder their world. At its birth, Azeroth was blessed by the titans. The world of Azeroth is the birthplace of many races, most notable being elves ( night elves, high elves, and blood elves), humans, dwarves, tauren, goblins, trolls, gnomes, pandarens and dragons. Azeroth is the name of the world in which the majority of the Warcraft series is set.
