Khaz Algar

Summary

Buried deep beneath the surface of Azeroth, Khaz Algar is an ancient subterranean continent unveiled during The War Within. Once a forgotten stronghold of titan-forged legacy, it now stands at the heart of a new reckoning—where legacy, rebellion, and buried truths collide. This underground realm is home to the earthen known as the Dwarovar, titan vaults, ancient enemies, and the long-lost secrets of Azeroth’s creation.

Notable Regions:

• The Ringing Deeps – An immense cavern filled with echoing forges, crystal-lined mines, and abandoned titan facilities. Once a marvel of earthen engineering, now riddled with instability and strange anomalies.
• Hallowfall – A vast zone where radiant light pours from celestial crystals embedded in the cavern walls. A haven of faith and contrast, home to the new Arathi people, descendants of ancient humans living in isolation.
• Azj-Kahet – The capital of the nerubian empire in Khaz Algar’s depths. No longer mindless servants, the nerubians have evolved into cunning, intelligent rivals with their own plans for the future.
• The Isle of Dorn – The surface access point to Khaz Algar and staging ground for the Alliance and Horde. A rocky island off the coast of the western Great Sea, cloaked in mists and guarded by towering cliffs.

Major Cities:

• Dornogal – The capital of Khaz Algar and main hub city for The War Within. Built within a massive hollowed mountain in the Ringing Deeps, Dornogal serves as a neutral city where cultures—old and new—intersect.
• Azj-Kahet – The rebuilt and advanced city of the nerubians, located in the deepest reaches of Khaz Algar. A hive of arcane engineering and political ambition.

Factions:

• The Earthen / Dwarovar – Titan-forged ancestors of modern dwarves, living in isolation since before the Sundering. Their society is fractured by malfunctioning matrices, ideological rifts, and forgotten loyalties.
• The Arathi of Hallowfall – A reclusive, devout people descended from ancient humans, shaped by generations in the light-rich subterranean realm of Hallowfall. Strong, spiritual, and bound by faith.
• The Nerubians of Azj-Kahet – No longer the mindless soldiers of the Lich King, these evolved nerubians possess intelligence, ambition, and a deep connection to arcane knowledge.
• The Horde & Alliance Expeditionary Forces – Modern factions entering Khaz Algar from the Isle of Dorn, aiming to investigate titan activity, lost civilizations, and emerging threats.
• The Harbinger’s Forces – A mysterious enemy manipulating events from the shadows, seeking to awaken ancient powers hidden beneath the world.
