Azshara: level 45-55 zone, naga and the Ruins of Eldarath

Section: World & travel 3 min read Vanilla 1.12.1 · x5 Updated 06.10.2026

Azshara is a coastal zone in northeastern Kalimdor for characters level 45–55. It lies east of Ashenvale, south of Winterspring and north of Durotar. The forest here is frozen in eternal autumn, with cliffs and reefs along the sea. Before the Sundering this was the night elf capital Zin-Azshari; the survivors named the ruins after their maddened queen.

Getting There

The main entrance is the Ashenvale road: it runs east and crosses a bridge into southwestern Azshara.

  • Alliance: Talrendis Point stands just over the river and has a hippogryph master. Flights: Auberdine, Ratchet, Theramore, Felwood, Everlook.
  • Horde: Valormok sits against the mountains in the west, north of the ruined Haldarr Encampment. Flights: Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, the Crossroads, Ashenvale, Felwood, Everlook.

A step-by-step route for both factions is in the guide how to get to Azshara.

Key Areas

Ruins of Eldarath

The remains of an ancient night elf city on the eastern cliffs; most of the city collapsed into the Bay of Storms. The ruins are held by the Spitelash naga under Warlord Krellian. Nearby, in the southeast of the zone, the blue dragon Azuregos stands guard.

Lake Mennar

An elite area in the south and one of the few places outside Northrend where the blue dragonflight lives.

Ravencrest Monument and the islands

A ruined statue on the southern cape, occupied by naga. On an island northeast of the monument stands Duke Hydraxis, and on an island southeast of Hetaera's Clutch you will find the demon hunter Loramus Thalipedes.

The North

Thalassian Base Camp is the blood elf expedition of Magus Rimtori; north of it lies the satyr-held Legash Encampment. On the northeastern shore stands the Temple of Arkkoran, ruled by the sea giant Lord Arkkoroc and guarded by murlocs and makrura. In the mountains of northern Azshara rises Archmage Xylem's tower.
