Continent: Eastern Kingdoms · Levels: 30–45 (tabletop 8–11) · Held by: Contested — nobody, Steamwheedle Cartel in Booty Bay
A vast jungle covering the southern tip of the continent, and the closest thing to genuinely neutral ground on Azeroth.
The Gurubashi empire ruled here and left ziggurats everywhere. Its remnant is fractured: some tribes serve Hakkar the Soulflayer, others fight them. Zul'Gurub stands sealed in the north.
Booty Bay at the southern tip is the Steamwheedle Cartel's crown jewel: a goblin port where Alliance and Horde drink at the same bar because Baron Revilgaz's bruisers will throw anyone who fights into the sea.
