Azshara Crater

Jump to navigationJump to search

The Azshara Crater is a long forgotten ruins of kal'dorei/Highborne origin. Here and there, one can glimpse the glory which was the former Kaldorei nation; crumbling ruins, moonlit temples, and dragons carved in stone rearing to the sky. The climate here is in a perpetual fall, for the forest is old and no longer tended by the druids of ages past.


Friendly Forces

Indeed, the Crater is now becoming a rather busy place, and in the old kaldorei ruins, ancient powers are stirring. The Ancient of Spirits has awakened, and with its return to sentience, it has brought forth the spirits of Bear, Cat, Wolf, Crow and Treant which now patrol and guard the moonwell. What this portends has yet to be seen.

The Crater can be reached by a portal in Warsong Gulch.

Alliance Crest Alliance

Having fought back from long ago their stake in the crater, the Leafwind Sisterhood has taken up residence on the polar ends of the crater from the Earthshaker Clan. Led by Masimavri Leafwind, the female-only brigade of fighters enjoy their leisurely home in the woods, using profits from the Tavern to fund their living, and desperate attempts to try and re-vitalize the forest that was once long ruined.

Horde Crest Horde

Here, Chieftain Kretol Earthshaker has managed to carve out and secure a stronghold in the Crater for his clan - a fortress keep where elementals wander, and travelers from Azeroth and Outlands come to discuss the concerns of the world. And of late, there seems to be many rumors stirring of ancient evils choosing their time to strike after the Plague has left the world's population greatly depleted.

Neutral Crest Neutral

Furbolgs have now taken residence in the Crater, mostly comprised of the only two clans which have not succumbed to corruption; the Timbermaw and the Stillpine. More and more of the Furbolgs are making their way to the Crater and trying to settle as best as they can, though of course they long to be back in their homelands once more.

Drudaen Tavern

The tavern located within the Crater is a restaurant run by sisters of the Leafwind Sisterhood. With the location and initial supplies sponsored by the Earthshakers, the tavern has become a rather popular hangout for those seeking a drink or conversation for those of Horde and Alliance affiliation alike. The location of the tavern is above the gateway leading from the Night Elf settlement into the ruins in Azshara Crater. After teleporting in from Warsong Gulch, simply follow the road and take a left where it forks. When you reach the gate and the Orc Watch Tower, you are there!

Some rules to comply with while in the tavern:

  • You must pay your tab!
  • No disruptive pets.
  • No violence or drawn weapons.
  • No demons or obvious "warlockery"

Dereliction of these rules can result in being thrown out forcefully, or even attacked by the bouncers/guards on the spot. (Note that the latter will prevent you from returning in addition to barring you access from the Earthshaker Camp)
