Eastern Kingdoms

The Eastern Kingdoms is one of the main continents of Azeroth, sometimes simply called Azeroth or the Old World. It lies east of Kalimdor, southeast of Northrend and the Dragon Isles, and northeast of Pandaria.

It formed from pieces of the original Kalimdor after the Great Sundering. Its center is ruled by mountains: those of Khaz Modan and the Redridge Mountains. Dwarves, gnomes, high elves and blood elves, humans, worgen and the Forsaken live here, along with orcs, goblins, draenei, naga, ogres and smaller races. After the Shattering a large sunken area called Vashj'ir was found under the sea.

The table groups the continent's zones by the level range the wiki lists for them. It is shortened: some zones that share a range are left out.

• Dun Morogh is the dwarf and gnome starting zone; the Deeprun Tram in Ironforge runs to Stormwind City.
• Elwynn Forest is the human starting zone; ships leave Stormwind Harbor for Northrend and Kul Tiras.
• Tirisfal Glades is the Undead starting zone, Eversong Woods the blood elf one and Gilneas the worgen one.
• Death Knights begin in Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave (see Death Knight).
• The Blasted Lands hold the Dark Portal, the old way to Outland.

The continent holds many of the game's oldest dungeons and raids. A short selection by region:

• Azeroth: The Deadmines, The Stockade, Karazhan and Blackrock Mountain (Blackrock Depths, Molten Core, Blackwing Lair and more).
• Khaz Modan: Gnomeregan, Uldaman, Grim Batol and the Bastion of Twilight.
• Lordaeron: Shadowfang Keep, Scholomance, Scarlet Monastery, Stratholme and Baradin Hold.
• Quel'Thalas: Zul'Aman, Magisters' Terrace and the Sunwell Plateau.
• Vashj'ir: Throne of the Tides.

Battlegrounds here are Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin, Battle for Gilneas, Twin Peaks and Silvershard Mines. The arenas are the Ruins of Lordaeron and the open-world Gurubashi Arena in the Cape of Stranglethorn.
