The '''Eastern Kingdoms''' (sometimes described as the "eastern continents"<ref>[[Lands of Conflict]], 11, 66, 77, 78, 176, 178.</ref> or even Azeroth<ref name=wowquest>{{ref game |title=World of Warcraft |expansion= |campaign= |mission= |zone=[[Hillsbrad Foothills]] |npc=Magistrate Henry Maleb |quote=...the Argus Wake might run deep through the continent of Azeroth... |quest=[[Quest:Dark Council]]}}</ref><ref name=wowquest/><ref>[http://comics.ign.com/articles/835/835086p2.html Warcraft Interview & Prologue Preview] Walt Simonson: ''...allowed the comic to include a lot of geography from Durotar to Thunder Bluff to Darnassus, and from Kalimdor across to Azeroth...''</ref><ref>[) is a large continent (that is actually a group of smaller continents) which was formed from [[Azeroth|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]].

[[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.
