Alterac Valley

40 vs 40Level brackets 51–60

Hidden within the Alterac Mountains, Alterac Valley is the home of Thrall's own clan of orcs, the Frostwolves. The Stormpike dwarves have established a foothold in the valley and seek to plumb its depths for riches, and links to their ancestral past. The territorial Frostwolves, unwilling to suffer the dwarven incursion, have rallied an army... an army eager for righteous slaughter.

Warsong Gulch

10 vs 10Level brackets 10–19 · 20–29 · 30–39 · 40–49 · 50–59 · 60

A valley bordering Ashenvale Forest and the Barrens, Warsong Gulch hosts a constant battle between the Horde and the Alliance. Orcs use their Warsong Mill to cut lumber reaped from Ashenvale, provoking the night elves of Silverwing Hold. Eager to aid their allies, members of every race in Azeroth rush to the Gulch to lend sword, or spell, to the conflict.

Arathi Basin

15 vs 15Level brackets 20–29 · 30–39 · 40–49 · 50–59 · 60

The Arathi Basin is one of the main staging points of war between the Humans and the Forsaken in Azeroth. The League of Arathor seek to reclaim lost lands for their benefactors in Stormwind, while the Defilers – elite troopers under the watchful eye of Varimathras – seek to sever the vital connection between the Humans and their Dwarven allies to the south.

Darkspear Islands

15 vs 15Level brackets 30–39 · 40–49 · 50–59 · 60

Off the coast of Kalimdor are the storm-torn islands of the Darkspear tribe. These islands are coveted by the trolls for their spiritual significance - but the encroaching Alliance seek to gain a foothold off the coast of Durotar.
