The Aerie Peaks can be seen in an early WoW map.
Aerie Peaks was the original name given to the Hinterlands region during the development of World of Warcraft.[1] The name had been referenced multiple times through older sources before the launch of World of Warcraft. The name Aerie Peak now refers to the capital of the Wildhammer clan rather than the entirety of the Hinterlands.[2]
