Maps and Zones


There are going to be seven main territories on Draenor: Frostfire Ridge, Shadowmoon Valley, Talador, Tanaan Jungle, Gorgrond, Nagrand and Spires of Arak. There also are going to be some additional zones on the islands around the continent. The small island near Tanaan Jungle will be the new world PVP zone.

Zones:
Shadowmoon Valley
So this will be the starting territory for the Alliance. In Draenor Shadowmoon Valley will be very majestic place. It will always be night time here and It will be much more different place from the shattered valley that we saw in Outland. Shadowmoon Valley is home to a majestic draenei tomb and sanctuary: Karabor.

In our days Karabor is The Black Temple. Back in the past it was a sacred temple for the draenei.


The Shadowmoon Valley is also home to the Shadowmoon clan of orcs.

Frostfire Ridge
Frostfire Ridge is the starting territory of the Horde in Draenor. It a the winter territory unlike the other zones of Draenor. Frostfire Ridge is also hope of the Frostwolf clan.

The Forstwolves are against the Iron Horde and that is the reason why they have to accept Frostfire Ridge as their home.


Bladespire Fortress, built to grandiose heights by the ogres who occupy its halls is the main target for the Frostwolves. They have to take it from the ogres and make it the starting place for any Horde hero on his quest against the Iron Horde.

Talador
Talador is the central zone of Draenor. In Outland we know it as Terokkar Forest. In this zone we will find Shattrath, but it will be entirely occupied by the Iron Horde.


We will also be able to see the  Auchindounn before it's destruction. The theme of the zone will be autumn.

Talador

Gorgrond
Gorgrond is the home place of the Blackrock clan. This clan has great knowledge of making war machines and with the new information that Garrosh is providing they have much work to do now.


The Blackrock Foundry raid will be located here.

Tanaan Jungle
Do you remember  Hellfire Peninsula ? Well back in the past it was a jungle! Tanaan Jungle will be one of the most dangerous places in Draenor. It is the home of the Bleeding hollow clan.

Interesting thing about the Bleeding hollow clan:

"They are dark and bloody-minded- on the eve of becoming chief, the new chief removes his own eye to receive a vision of his death, which then determines how they will lead the clan."

Spires of Arak
Spires of Arak is a new zone in the next expansion. It will be on the south part of Draenor. The zone is the home of the Arrakkoa. In some way this zone remind me of Thousand needles in Kalimdor. It will be very interesting to see how Blizzard will develop this zone and the quest lines in it.

Nagrand
Nagrand- one of the best territories in all of the World of Warcraft expansions, will be one of the zones of Draenor. There won't be such big difference from the Nagrand in present days ,but there are going to be few new and interesting things. It is expected that there won't be so much floating islands in the sky, because the planet Draenor won't be destroyed.

In Draenor , Nagrand will be hope of ogres and orcs. Seafaring ogres claim the south of windswept Nagrand and the Warsong clan of orcs is raiding across the zone.


There is something stragne going on near the Throne of the Elements, but for now we can't say what is really happening.
