Azeroth

Azeroth is the name of the world in which the majority of the Warcraft series is set. At its core dwells a slumbering world-soul, the nascent spirit of a titan. Long ago, it was invaded by the Old Gods, eldritch abominations from the Void. When the Pantheon arrived, the titans imprisoned the Old Gods deep beneath the earth, before healing and ordering the world, and seeding life across the planet. A great fount of magic that would nurture the land was placed at the center of Kalimdor, known as the Well of Eternity. One day, attracted by the Well, the demonic armies of the Burning Legion found Azeroth and caused the Sundering of the world. After the Third War, two major powers emerged, the Alliance and the Horde. Although ravaged by inner conflict and external threats, the peoples of Azeroth have, somehow, always managed to survive.
