− | A [http://www.blizzard.com/wow/townhall/worldmap.shtml map] on the [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] web site and the [[Warcraft RPG]] shows that the Eastern Kingdoms are divided into three continents: |

− | * [[Lordaeron]] |
||
− | * [[Khaz Modan]] |
||
− | * [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]] |
||
− | |||
− | [[Quel'Thalas]] seems to make up a fourth continent in some maps. Most of the time, it appears that the Eastern Kingdoms are divided into only three continents, as Quel'Thalas is shown as part of northern Lordaeron. |
