Alterac was a member nation of the Alliance but, fearing that the Horde would be successful in the Second War, the kingdom defected and attempted to strike a deal with Doomhammer's forces. The furious Alliance forces conquered and occupied Alterac.

       Alterac is located in central Lordaeron, south of the Plaguelands.

       The ruins of Alterac are believed to be abandoned.


      Areas:
         -Alterac City

       The magical kingdom of Dalaran was a steadfast member of the Lordaeron Alliance. Based at Dalaran City, the Kirin Tor used their magical powers to assist the Alliance in any way they could. However, after the Third War and the destruction of Dalaran City, the rest of the kingdom fell into ruin.

       Dalaran is located in the southern part of Lordaeron, just south of Lordamere Lake.

       Dalaran was once a thriving human kingdom. Now, however, the kingdom's ruins are constantly fought over by Alliance remnants and Scourge forces.

         -Dalaran City
         -Southshore

       Gilneas was a stout supporter of the Alliance of Lordaeron. However, once the Third War and the Legion's invasion came, its fate remains unknown.

       Gilneas lies in southwestern Lordaeron, serving as a seaport for the remaining human settlements.

       Gilneas is still a human nation, but recent undead activity indicates that the Scourge may be planning an invasion.


      Areas:
         -Gilneas City

       The Kingdom of Lordaeron was once the most powerful human kingdom in the world. While Stormwind was occupied by the Horde during the Second War, Lordaeron formed the Alliance that bore its name to fight the orcs.

       However, King Terenas' own son Arthas betrayed the kingdom by joining the Lich King and assassinating his own father. The ensuing Scourge invasion devastated the kingdom. Now, after the Third War and the events surrounding the Frozen Throne, Lordaeron is a war-torn land of undead, with Scourge and Forsaken factions constantly battling for supremacy. Humans have become targets for both sides.

       The Kingdom of Lordaeron stretches from the Tirisfal Glades in the west to Quel'Thalas in the east.

       The kingdom was once ruled by humans, but by the time of WoW, Lordaeron belongs to the undead. Sylvanas' Forsaken faction battles the Lich King's Scourge for control of the land.


      Areas:
         -Aerie Peak
         -Andorhal
         -Durnholde
         -Hearthglen

         -Stratholme
         -Tyr's Hand

       The Plaguelands are located north of Lordaeron's Capital City. The Plaguelands were formed in the months after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, as the Undead Scourge consolidated its hold on the kingdom. The Plaguelands now consist of corrupted forests, destroyed settlements, and deformed wildlife. However, with the coup of the remaining Dread Lords and the weakening of the Lich King, Sylvanas' Forsaken faction of Undead has made its home in the Plaguelands, no doubt plotting against Kel'Thuzad and the other inhabitants of Lordaeron...

       The Plaguelands are located due north of the Undercity, and they extend from the Great Sea in the west to Stratholme in the east.

       The Plaguelands are inhabited primarily by Forsaken, though a large number of Scourge are also in the area as the undead factions battle for control of Lordaeron.

         -Undercity**

       Silverpine Forest is a gigantic woodland that covers most of the western edge of Lordaeron. The forest runs hundreds of miles inland, and was once the primary source of biodiversity on the continent. However, like most other things in Lordaeron, the forest suffered grievously during the Third War. Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind passed through Silverpine on their way to Dalaran City to stop Illidan's use of the Eye of Sargeras.

       Silverpine Forest is located on the western side of Lordaeron.

       Silverpine is primarily inhabited by undead and corrupted native wildlife. However, a few human settlements continue to survive deep within the woods.

         None

       Stormgarde was a member nation of the Alliance. A proud human kingdom, Stromgarde sent troops and aid to the beleaguered Alliance, helping to stem and eventually turn the tide of the Second War. Until the coming of the Legion and the Third War, the most notable event to take place in Stromgarde was the uprising of the interned orcs within the Alliance's prison camp. Durnholde served as the administrative head of the internment camps, until it was sacked by the reconstituted Horde led by Thrall. Stromgarde also contains Aerie Peak, where the Alliance's gryphon-riding dwarves made their home. Whether Stromgarde suffered the same fate as Lordaeron in the Legion's invasion remains to be seen.

       Stromgarde is located in the southeastern section of Lordaeron.

       Stromgarde remains a human kingdom, though the Scourge are currently attempting to sack the nation.


      Areas:
         -Stormgarde City

       Tirisfal Glades was once a magical forest where both human and high elf could hone their magical powers. The Glades were renowned throughout Lordaeron, Azeroth, and Quel'Thalas for their beauty and magical power. However, the events of the Third War corrupted the forest, and now Tirisfal is but a demented extension of the Plaguelands.

       Tirisfal is located in the extreme northwestern corner of Lordaeron.

       Tirisfal is home to legions of undead, demons, and corrupted natural wildlife.


      Areas:
         None

       The Silvermoon Woods were once a rich, vibrant forest, helping to shield the high elves from danger. However, Arthas and the Scourge cruelly cut down and burned large portions of the forest, leaving the realm a shadow of its former self.

       The Silvermoon Woods take up most of Quel'Thalas, with only a small pass leading back to Lordaeron.

       Once inhabited by high elves, the forest is now home to Undead, Demons, and Blood Elves.


      Areas:
         -Silvermoon
         -Sunwell Grove

       This ruined city was once the capital of the Alliance nation of Alterac. However, Alterac defected to the Horde during the Second War, when Alterac's king believed the Alliance could not win. Enraged, Alliance forced stormed the city and killed the traitors. The nation was placed under the command of King Terenas of Lordaeron, who hoped to choose a new leader to bring the country in line with Alliance policies. Ultimately, the arrival of the Scourge prevented Terenas from giving Alterac its independence, and with the destruction of Lordaeron, it remains a city of ghosts and undead.

       Dalaran City was once home of the Kirin Tor, a powerful group of mages who lent their powerful abilities to help the Alliance against the Horde. Featuring the famous Violet Citadel, Dalaran stood as the pinnacle of magical prowess amongst the humans. However, Dalaran was decimated by Archimonde the Defiler as a test of his powers when Kel'Thuzad summoned him into the world of Azeroth. In the subsequent war between the Alliance remnants and the Scourge, Dalaran traded hands many times, eventually ending up in the hands of Grand Marshal Garithos and his knights. Prince Kael'thas of the Blood Elves was stationed here for a time in the year 618, before the Blood Elves and Naga escaped to Outland. After the death of Garithos and the final defeat of the Alliance in Lordaeron, the ruins of Dalaran were presumably re-occupied by the undead.

       A small town in Dalaran, Southshore was a bastion of Grand Marshal Garithos' forces during the events surrounding the rise of the Forsaken. After Garithos' death, those remaining have continued to fight against the Scourge and Forsaken in the area.

       Another small town in the nation of Dalaran, Tarren Mill was destroyed in the vicious war between the remaining Alliance forces and the Scourge after the Third War. Being so close to the ruined capital city of Dalaran, Tarren Mill has often been at the mercy of the force that controls the blasted ruins.

       Gilneas City is the capital of the nation of Gilneas. Gilneas is one of the few remaining human cities in Lordaeron. Gilneas was an Alliance nation, and as such most of its inhabitants have fled to Kalimdor with Jaina Proudmoore's forces. Those who remain, however, struggle constantly to keep the Scourge at bay and keep Gilneas among those cities still inhabited by the living!


      Hostiles:
        

       Aerie Peak is the tallest mountain in Lordaeron. The mighty gryphon-riding dwarves of the Alliance come from here.

       Andorhal was the regional grain distribution center for eastern Lordaeron. The Lich King's plagued grain was slipped into the city by the Cult of the Damned, and the residents who were not turned into undead were slaughtered in the Legion's later invasion.


      Hostiles:
        

       This fortress is where Thrall spent much of his life. Adeleas Blackmoore, a corrupt warlord in charge of the Alliance's internment camps, hoped to raise Thrall as a gladiator in order to use him to unite the Horde under Blackmoore's rule. However, Thrall escaped and, after freeing his people from internment, destroyed Durnholde and killed Blackmoore. Thus was the new Horde born.

       Another small village in Lordaeron, Hearthglen was one of the first towns to fall to the Scourge during the Third War. Arthas and Uther the Lightbringer initially succeeded in defending the town, but after Arthas' corruption, the Scourge overran and slew the town's residents.


      Hostiles:
        

       Hillsbrad is a small village that was one of the first to fall to the Horde during the Second War. While the village was rebuilt following the Horde's defeat, the Third War and the Legion's invasion has left the town empty and abandoned when the residents headed to Kalimdor.


      Hostiles:
        

       Strahnbrad was one of the villages visited just before the Third War by Prince Arthas and Jaina Proudmoore as they attempted to discern the origin of the Lich King's plague. The town was destroyed during the Legion's subsequent invasion.


      Hostiles:
        

       Stratholme was once the second largest city in Lordaeron, after the Capital City itself. Arthas began his descent into madness here, when he was forced to slaughter the city's plague-infected inhabitants before the Dread Lord Mal'Ganis could claim them as Scourge minions. Uther the Lightbringer and Jaina Proudmoore both refused to help Arthas, and his bitterness at their decision further alienated him from his people.


      Hostiles:
        

       This city remains as one of the few bastions of humanity left in Lordaeron. Sufficiently distant from the Capital City, Tyr's Hand was spared during the invasion of the Scourge and the Burning Legion. Having heard no news from Lordaeron in months, the residents of Tyr's Hand struggle on, believing themselves to be the last living inhabitants of the continent.

       Silvermoon was the capital city of Quel'Thalas. It served as the center of the high elves' magical society until it was destroyed by Arthas and the Scourge during the Third War.


      Hostiles:
        

       The Sunwell Grove was a magical fountain located deep within Quel'Thalas. Created from one of Illidan Stormrage's vials of water from the original Well of Eternity, the Grove was the source of the high elves' power. After Arthas destroyed Quel'Thalas, he used the Sunwell's energies to resurrect the necromancer Kel'Thuzad. The evil power of Kel'Thuzad and the Lich King destroyed the Sunwell, leaving the high elves without their powers. Angry and defeated, the high elves renamed themselves blood elves and set out to eradicate the Scourge.
