Kul Tiras

Summary

A seafaring island nation steeped in maritime tradition, Kul Tiras is a bastion of human naval power and ancient druidic legacy. Long isolated after the events of the Third War, the island reemerged during the Fourth War as a key ally of the Alliance. Composed of proud houses, storm-tossed cliffs, and haunted forests, Kul Tiras balances salt-worn pragmatism with old magic and noble ambition.

Notable Regions:

• Tiragarde Sound – The central region of Kul Tiras and seat of House Proudmoore. A bustling maritime hub with shipyards, trading posts, and the fortified city of Boralus.
• Drustvar – A grim and fog-shrouded western region where ancient Drust magic lingers. Witches, cursed woods, and folk horror traditions define this rugged land governed by House Waycrest.
• Stormsong Valley – A vast northeastern valley of sweeping meadows and sacred tidesages. House Stormsong watches over the fleet’s spiritual health and navigational rites—but beneath the surface, corruption festered during the rise of the Abyssal cult.
• Boralus – The capital city and heart of Kul Tiran naval operations. A massive harbor city with layers of marketplaces, noble estates, and political intrigue. Protected by Proudmoore Admiralty and key to Alliance sea power.

Major Cities:

• Boralus – The thriving capital and crown jewel of Kul Tiras. Seat of House Proudmoore and a vital Alliance stronghold during the Fourth War. Its docks, canals, and gates are heavily fortified and culturally rich.
• Bridgeport – A secondary port town in Tiragarde Sound. Smaller and scrappier than Boralus, but important for trade and local militia presence.
• Fallhaven – A village in Drustvar suffering under supernatural threats and ancient curses. Central to the campaign against the Heartsbane coven.
• Brennadam – A peaceful farming village in Stormsong Valley, caught in the tidesage cult uprising and elemental unrest.

Factions:

• House Proudmoore – The ruling family of Kul Tiras, famed for naval excellence and strong Alliance ties. Led by Lord Admiral Katherine Proudmoore and later united under Jaina’s leadership.
• House Waycrest – Stewards of Drustvar and protectors of its rugged interior. Their history is steeped in the conflict with the Drust and lingering witchcraft.
• House Stormsong – Overseers of tidesage traditions and spiritual guidance of the fleet. Their betrayal during the Fourth War led to internal war and near-collapse.
• The Proudmoore Admiralty – The military and naval command of Kul Tiras. Once fragmented, it was restored during the campaign against the Horde.
• The Order of Embers – A secretive group of scholars and hunters who fight Drust magic and witchcraft in Drustvar.
• The Tidesages – Mystics of Stormsong who once communed with the sea and guided the fleet, now recovering from deep corruption.
• The Alliance – Reestablished formal ties with Kul Tiras during the Fourth War. Kul Tiran marines, ships, and druids now stand beside the Alliance in modern conflicts.
