Eastern Kingdoms/Imagemap The Eastern Kingdoms (sometimes described as the "eastern continents")[1] is a large continent (that is actually a group of smaller continents) which was formed from Azeroth's original single continent following the Great Sundering. The Eastern Kingdoms lie to the east of the Great Sea and to the west of the Forbidding Sea. The central part of the Eastern Kingdoms is dominated by the Khaz Mountains and the Redridge Mountains. Both cover several zones. The Eastern Kingdom's western counterpart is the continent of Kalimdor.
The Eastern Kingdoms include the three continents of LordaeronTemplate:Cite, Khaz ModanTemplate:Cite, and AzerothTemplate:Cite. They are the homes of the undead, dwarves, gnomes, blood elves, humans, and the few remaining high elves.
A map on the Blizzard web site and the Warcraft RPG shows that the Eastern Kingdoms are divided into three continents:
Quel'Thalas seems to make up a fourth continent in some maps. Most of the time it appears that the Eastern Kingdoms is divided into only three continents as Quel'Thalas is shown as part of northern Lordaeron.
