Description
       Once the lush southern belt of Elwynn Forest, the land of Duskwood has transformed into a dark and mysterious land. Many speculate that its proximity to the mysterious Deadwind Pass brings monstrous horrors out at night. Others wonder if an ancient curse has been cast upon the land. No matter the reason, Duskwood has become a land of terror and superstition. The Human farmers who once toiled over the rich land have become dark and brooding - unwilling to leave their ancestral home but unable to lift the terrible cloud that has settled over their lives. Bordered by the fallow fields of Westfall to the west and the dark, treacherous Deadwind Pass to the east, Duskwood has become a tainted realm where shadows and evil permeate the atmosphere even during the brightest hours of day.
Geography
       Duskwood lies just south of Stormwind, to the east of Westfall.
Inhabitants
       A few human settlers remain, but Duskwood is basically uninhabited by any of the major races.

Description
       Stranglethorn Vale is a vast jungle south of Duskwood. Once the extended homeland of the mysterious jungle trolls, Stranglethorn is now dotted with ancient ruins and crumbling troll cities. In recent years, the humans of Stormwind attempted to forge trade routes through this savage jungle. Though they did manage to establish the small port town of Blackwater Cove, they were quickly overwhelmed by a crazed pack of trolls and driven back to their homeland. In the wake of the humans' departure, the crafty goblin trade princes arrived on the jungle's shores and quickly set up their mining and deforesting operations. The goblins have maintained a tenuous hold over these remote facilities, but they remain threatened by the jungle trolls' growing obsession with purging their ancient lands of any and all foreign invaders.
Geography
       Stranglethorn Vale is located at the extreme southern end of Azeroth.
Inhabitants
       Stranglethorn is primarily inhabited by native jungle beasts, though the jungle trolls and small groups of goblins also live here.

Description
       Southwest of Stormwind lies Westfall. Once the bread basket of the kingdom of Stormwind, the land of Westfall has now grown fallow from years of conflict and neglect. Crops are no longer cultivated in the fields, and the once abundant mines have been deserted. Even the former defenders, the Stormwind Garrisons, pulled stake and abandoned the lonely realm when the cost of upkeep became too great. Due to this lack of military protection, Westfall has been all but destroyed by the rebel Defias Brotherhood and its demi-human minions. The Brotherhood, composed of thieves and bandits, have made Westfall their refuge. Employing everything from local superstitions to mechanical Harvest Golems, the Brotherhood will stop at nothing to scare away trespassers and protect their malicious schemes from being unraveled.
Geography
       Westfall lies southwest of Stormwind.
Inhabitants
       Westfall is primarily inhabited by humans.

Description
       This was once the Dark Portal that first brought the Horde to Azeroth from Draenor. After the Horde was pushed back and defeated in the Second War, the portal was destroyed by Alliance forces. However, Ner'zhul managed to reopen the portal from Draenor and send troops to Azeroth to recover artifacts he required for his plan to escape Draenor. After Khadgar's forces sacrificed themselves to seal the portal, the citadel of Netherguarde was constructed to watch over the ruins. Despite the taint that remains in the Black Morass, there has been no further activity from the ruins since Khadgar's expedition.

Description
       Northshire is home to an abbey that Medivh was tended to at during his long years of coma. Once he recovered and left the monastery, the monks continued to practice their studies, unaware that their charge was plotting their destruction. Once the Dark Portal was opened, the Horde was quick to conquer and destroy Northshire. Though the town was rebuilt after the Second War, it has yet to return to the status of spiritual center that it enjoyed before the First War.

Description
       Also known as Karazhan, Medivh's Tower was a source of untold mystical energies. The Last Guardian performed much of his work here, and the Magus' demonic alter ego (Sargeras) built an identical tower underneath Karazhan for his dark rituals. After Medivh was killed, Khadgar sealed up the tower and returned to Dalaran to prepare for the coming war with the Orcs. Later, the reborn Medivh traveled back in time to Karazhan to drain the tower's energies for his battle with the Legion. Now, the tower sits abandoned in the Redridge Mountains, its magics long gone.
