About Eastern Kingdoms
Humanity’s story begins here. When the Amani trolls threatened to overrun the scattered human tribes, the warlord Thoradin united them into the kingdom of Arathor and raised its capital, Strom, as a wall against the trolls. Arathor’s settlers spread out to found Lordaeron, Gilneas, and Dalaran, and to befriend the dwarves under the mountains of Khaz Modan. The continent grew rich on trade and stone.
Then came the First War. Orcs poured through the Dark Portal, and Stormwind burned; the human kingdoms answered by forming the Alliance, and the Second War ended with the Horde in internment camps. Peace lasted less than a generation. A plague spread from the granaries of Andorhal, Prince Arthas turned on his own people, and the northern kingdoms fell to the Scourge. In the ruins of Lordaeron the Forsaken raised their own capital.
What you travel today is a continent of survivors. Alliance strongholds keep the roads south, the Forsaken hold the north, and between them lie battlefields, plague-scarred farmland, and the smoking heart of Blackrock Mountain.
The journey north begins in Elwynn Forest and climbs through Westfall and Redridge, across the Wetlands, and into the Plaguelands, past the capitals of Stormwind, Ironforge, and the Undercity. Forever expands the continent's leveling road with new dungeons in the Wetlands, Arathi Highlands, Tirisfal Glades, and the Alterac Mountains, while Blackrock Mountain still anchors the endgame between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes.
