Azeroth

Azeroth is the world in which the majority of the Warcraft series is set. It is also the most southern most continent in the Eastern Kingdoms, which contains Stormwind, Duskwood, Redridge, Stranglethorn Vale, Blasted Lands, Westfall, Burning Steppes, Deadwind Pass, and Swamp of Sorrows.

The name Azeroth has been been retroactively redefined, or 'retconned', twice in the history of the game series.


 * In Warcraft I - III, it was used as the name of the kingdom first invaded by the Horde, now called Stormwind, and for the territory that that kingdom occupied.
 * In early stages of World of Warcraft, Azeroth was used as the name of the entire eastern continent of the world, now called the Eastern Kingdoms.
 * Current sources refer to Azeroth as the entire planet upon which World of Warcraft is set. It also refers to the subcontinent which contains the southermost lands according to the RPG books, and World of Warcraft Manual.

The world of Azeroth is the birthplace of many races, most notable being Elves (Night, High, and Blood), Humans, Dwarves, Tauren, Goblins, Trolls, Gnomes and Dragons.
