3. The World of Draenor WoW: Warlords of Draenor Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before immersing into the world of Warlords of Draenor you should learn about the game storyline and se the locations you will be traveling through.
The story takes place in the homeland of orcs - the Draenor. This realm has been destroyed in the past, so to see it a time travel is required. You will follow Garrosh Hellscream, who thanks to the help of dragon Kairoz managed to travel to the times when the orcs haven't signed the Blood Curse with the Burning Legion yet. Garrosh united the orcs and creates the Iron Horde, which main purpose is to take revenge on the citizens of Azeroth.
In the expansion you will be able to travel through all of the Draenor continent, which is divided into seven locations and one main city - the Ashran. Each continent part has a specific climate. First, you will see the Shadowmoon Valley. Your garrison is located in the northern east part of that location. Nearby is the main headquarter of Draenei - Karabor. Sadly, the only thing you will find there is a few tasks, so there is no need to go there.
The continent is divided into those locations:
- Shadowmoon Valley
- Gorgrond
- Tanaan Jungle
- Fristfire Ridge
- Nagrand
- Talador
- Spires of Arax
- Ashran
The storyline will guide you through all parts of the continent, but you will explore every location in a very limited manner. Additional tasks will encourage you to explore more of the world.
Ashran is the main city in Warlords of Draenor. Luckily, its size does not terrify. You will find all needed merchants and teachers on a quite limited space. You won't find only class teachers and pet trainers, to met whom you will need to travel to your race capitol. Ashran Island is additionally the place of battles between the Horde and the Alliance, this is where main part of the PvP mode happen.
