The Eastern Kingdoms is one of the continents which was formed from Azeroth's original single continent following the Great Sundering. It lies to the east of the Great Sea.
At various stages in the history of the game series, the Eastern Kingdoms was referred to as Azeroth, though this usage has been retroactively changed, and that term is now used only to refer to the entire world, or the southern region of the eastern kingdoms. See the list of retcons for more details.
The central Eastern Kingdoms are dominated by the Khaz Mountains and the Redridge Mountains. Both cover several regions.
The Eastern Kingdoms include the regions of Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas, Khaz Modan, and Stormwind. They are the home of the Undead, Dwarves, Gnomes, Blood Elves, Humans and the few remaining High Elves.
An map on the Blizzard web site and the Warcraft RPG shows the Eastern Kingdoms as divided into three subcontinents:
- Lordaeron (fallen human kingdom and primary homeland of the undead)
- Khaz Modan (primary homeland of the dwarves)
- Azeroth (primary homeland of humans)
