* [[Lordaeron]]
 
* [[Khaz Modan]]
 
* [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]]

==External links==
[[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.
