Legendary Locations of Azeroth
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruLegendary locations of Azeroth are the places around which the whole Warcraft universe turns. Mountains and fonts of power, gateways between worlds and the shrines of ancient peoples — each became a stage for the great wars and left its mark for ages.
Fonts of magical power
Some places are the very essence of Azeroth's magic. The Well of Eternity was a lake of pure energy from which the Highborne drew their power. Its destruction in the War of the Ancients caused the Sundering of the world. Later, from the saved water, Nordrassil and the Sunwell were born.
Shrines of nature and life
Mount Hyjal and the World Tree growing upon it became the heart of the night elves and the last stand against the Burning Legion. The Emerald Dream is a green mirror of the world, the realm of Ysera, where druids travel in spirit.
Gateways and abodes of darkness
Other places bring danger. The Dark Portal linked Azeroth to Draenor and let in the Horde. The Tomb of Sargeras holds the body of the fallen titan, and the Twisting Nether is the home of the Legion's demons.
