• Additionally, different tones will produce different effects - from 'son of' through to distant heritage.

Spoiler:
Kalimdor
Winterspring
• Winterspring borders the Great Sea, with steep cliffed coasts challenging Mt. Hyjal in height.
Stonetalon Mountains
• The mountains of Stonetalon are actually great amounts of earth and cliff driven up by the force of the Sundering.
Azshara
• Azshara has been placed in a state of eternal autumn, due to the high frequency at which Arcane used to be used in the area.
Eastern Kingdoms
Eversong Forest
• Due to the High (and now Blood) Elves' use of constant arcane, the northern Eversong Forests are constantly autumnal.
Northrend
Crystalsong Forest
• During a battle between Blue and Black Dragons, huge amounts of arcane were used, turning much of the region into crystals.
Cities
Stormwind
• Primarily populated with Humans, who vary wildly in occupation and class.
• Night Elves, Humans and High Elves occupy much of the privileged class.
• Gilneans, Dwarves and, to a lesser extent, Gnomes make up the working class.

Spoiler:
This thread is a little idea I've been bouncing off in my head for quite a while, which I've finally come around and made! It's, for lack of a better word, a compendium of trivial user-lore - things that are not explicitly stated by Blizzard, but have been thought of by players, which still fit with Blizzard's stuff. This is mostly here to bring flavor to the woefully undetailed 'little things' in the universe. We just don't know how a lot of things work, things that Blizzard are probably never going to fill in, and these things are so small that they're likely not going to ever be a point of conflict - so why not write some stuff for ourselves? Essentially, it's a universe-expansion project fueled by conjecture and the little off-the-cuff stuff we make up during RPs. |
