Broken Isles

The Broken Isles are a chain of islands northeast of the raging Maelstrom, covered in old elven ruins. They hold the great nightborne city of Suramar and the long-lost Tomb of Sargeras. The Legion's third invasion began when Gul'dan, who came from an alternate universe, opened the sealed portal inside the Tomb again.

Before the Great Sundering this region was part of the night elf empire on ancient Kalimdor. The forest of Val'sharah was home to Cenarius and the birthplace of druidism, and Tyrande Whisperwind was born in Suramar. The Tomb of Sargeras is also the spot where the barrier between Azeroth and the Twisting Nether is at its weakest.

In the game the Broken Isles are a new continent added by Legion and its main setting: the Tomb has been reopened and demons pour onto the islands.

• Dalaran, the city of the Kirin Tor, is a sanctuary and the hub of the islands.
• The main seats of power are Suramar City, the great city of the nightborne, Thunder Totem, the Halls of Valor and Dalaran. Rulers of the isles include Thalyssra, Mayla Highmountain and Odyn.
• Two allied races come from here: the Nightborne and the Highmountain Tauren.
• Highmountain is one of the tallest mountains in the world.

The islands hold many dungeons: Assault on Violet Hold, Neltharion's Lair, Eye of Azshara, Black Rook Hold, Maw of Souls, Vault of the Wardens, Darkheart Thicket, Halls of Valor, The Arcway, Court of Stars and Cathedral of Eternal Night. The raids are the Emerald Nightmare, Trial of Valor, The Nighthold and the Tomb of Sargeras.

For PvP, the isles have one arena: Ashamane's Fall in Val'sharah.
