Category:Eastern Kingdoms

The Eastern Kingdoms, also known as the "Eastern Continent," occupy the major set of landmasses opposite the  Maelstrom from  Kalimdor. They are generally divided into three distinct geographic regions. From the north, Lordaeron extends south to the great divide that separates the  Arathi Highlands from the  Wetlands. Continuing south,  Khaz Modan stretches  to the  Searing Gorge, the major dividing landmark being  Blackrock Mountain. The remaining third, terminating at the peninsula of Stranglethorn Vale, was commonly called  Azeroth, though use of the name in that manner has become archaic as "Azeroth" now refers to the world at large.
