Players can start from two different zones: Howling Fjord & Borean Tundra.

Howling Fjord (Level 68-72):

It will hold the Daggercap Bay (a narrow canyon). Past the canyon you will find the town of Valgarde. The town is under constant invasions of evil Dragonflayers. The ancient Vrykul can be found in their instance Utgarde Keep. It will look like a lush, forested area.

Borean Tundra (Level68-72):

It is the home of the Tuskarr. The Horde town is Warsong Fortress and Alliance will be Justice Keep. The Naga are up to no good by melting the icecaps. Not to forget the Taunka are lurking in this zone. This zone has both a Horde and Alliance entry point (along with a village). Caldarra, home of the Blue Dragonflight, is here and houses the 3-winged Nexus dungeon.

The Dragonblight (Level71-75):

Where the dragons go to die. The home of Wyrmrest Temple is the ancient meeting place of the dragons. Within the temple is the Chamber of Aspects raid instance where players can fight the different Dragon Aspects. In the Dragonblight is also the Dragonshrines, each shrine dedicated to one of the Dragonflights.

Zul'Drak (Level 73-76):

home of the Ice Trolls, contains Drak Theron Keep

Grizzly Hills(Level74-76):

The Furbolgs live in the forest. The Venture Company is also cutting down the forest of Grizzly Hills. There also seems to be an ancient Dwarven City called Thor Modan. Most of the zone will be covered with trees instead of snow.

Sholazar Basin (Level 75-78):

similar in appearance to Un'Goro, it has magical pylons that keep the Scourge at bay. It also has domes, similar to Netherstorm, that the titans conduct experiments within. Hemit Nesingwary has also crashed in this area and is finally being punished by the DEHTA (see more in Factions)

Azjol-Nerub(Level74-78):

*The Storm Peaks (Level 77-80)
*Icecrown Glacier (Level 77-80)
