Kingdom of Kul Tiras

Overview

Kul Tiras is a powerful naval kingdom off the western coast of the Eastern Kingdoms, renowned for its mastery of the sea, rugged culture, and deeply rooted family traditions. Once a founding member of the Alliance, the kingdom withdrew into isolation following the death of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore. During the Fourth War, Kul Tiras was restored to unity under Jaina Proudmoore, who now serves as Lord Admiral, guiding the nation through turbulent political and magical tides.

Government & Leadership

• Current Lord Admiral: Jaina Proudmoore
• Royal Bloodline: House Proudmoore
• Acting Naval Commander & Steward: Tandred Proudmoore
• Governing Body: The Admiralty Council, including the regional heads of House Waycrest, House Stormsong, and naval command

Districts of Note

• Boralus Harbor – The central naval port and staging grounds for maritime expeditions
• Tradewinds Market – Hub of merchant activity, guild contracts, and Freeport dealings
• Uptown – Home to Proudmoore Manor and aristocratic holdings
• Hook Point – A rough and rowdy lower district filled with brawlers, rogues, and privateers
• Mariner’s Row – Quarter of craftsmen, shipwrights, and tide sage outposts
• The Foundry District – Once dominated by House Ashvane’s industry; now under military control

Military & Defense

Kul Tiras maintains one of the most formidable navies in Azeroth. Its military forces include:

• Kul Tiran Navy – Legendary maritime fleet with massive firepower and logistical reach
• Order of Embers – Witcheslayer order of inquisitors and holy warriors
• Tideguard – Elite urban enforcers, especially in Boralus and Freehold territories
• Tidesages – Spiritual and elemental guides who manipulate wind and sea
• Regional Militias – Each house fields independent forces:
- House Waycrest – Infantry and woodsmen skilled in Drustcraft resistance - House Stormsong – Formerly led the tidesages, now in reevaluation after betrayal

The combined force of naval supremacy and regional defense makes Kul Tiras both a coastal guardian and an expeditionary threat.

Cultural Identity

Kul Tiran culture is shaped by the sea and the rugged, independent spirit of its people. Tradition, duty, and family loyalty are paramount. Religion is split between worship of the Light and the old traditions of the tidesages, with many rural areas still haunted by the dark remnants of Drust magic. Kul Tirans prize resilience, craftsmanship, and lineage, and are known for their blunt demeanor and imposing physicality.

In the Current Era

• Jaina Proudmoore leads as Lord Admiral, guiding both military and diplomatic efforts
• Tandred Proudmoore commands the navy and oversees day-to-day governance in Boralus
• House Ashvane has been dismantled after treason; assets seized by the crown
• House Stormsong is under reevaluation after their leadership's betrayal by the Old Gods
• Freehold remains a semi-autonomous pirate haven under close watch

Relations with Other Powers

• Cautious of Dalaran and the Kirin Tor, due to past tensions involving Jaina’s exile
• At odds with Horde coastal interests, particularly near Zandalar and the Great Sea isles
• Deep distrust of the Free Seas, especially groups that operate near Tol Barad or Gilnean waters
