A continent is the largest geographical subdivision of a world or what the casual viewer may see as a world. Continents, which can actually be parts of larger continents, are broken down into regions or zones.
Azeroth's geography
The earliest information about landmasses we have is brief. We know there was a huge war between the Titans and the Old Gods which "ripped Azeroth into new shapes".Template:Cite
At the time of the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, Azeroth had one singular continent called Kalimdor. The Sundering broke apart this one landmass into various continents and islands. Currently, the ancient landmass of Kalimdor would be called a supercontinent since all the land was once a part of it.
The number of continents has grown and shrunk as time has gone by. This is due to the discovery of new lands, the importance of those lands, and maybe politics. Currently on the world of Azeroth, there are three large continents in the game: the continent of the Eastern Kingdoms (formed of three other continents) in the east, the continent of Kalimdor (formed of three other continents) in the west, and the continent of Northrend in the north. These continents are bordered by the Great Sea and seem to occupy the whole of the planet.
Azeroth's continents
- Eastern Kingdoms (eastern continents)
- Lordaeron
- Sometimes, Quel'Thalas
- Khaz Modan
- Azeroth
- Lordaeron
- Kalimdor
- Northrend
- Northrend
Azeroth's "subcontinents"
- Quel'Thalas (part of Lordaeron)
- Teldrassil (described as an island, a mid-sized island, an island continent, and a giant tree depending on the source)
Other important land masses
- Pandaria (island)
The Undermine
The Undermine was already in the early World of Warcraft Betas, but not as a city on a island, but as a continent south of Kalimdor, but there was only water there and nothing else.
The Undermine might be added as a new continent later on.
Miscellaneous land masses
- unnamed island
Rhonin saw an ominous island big enough to hold a fort or an estate only. On the trip to Kalimdor, Krasus and Rhonin stop on this island to rest. They discover some kind of ghouls amongst the ruins and are attacked. After a small fight, they escape from the island. Rhonin asks Krasus what they could have been, but he only knows that it is older and eviler than anything the Scourge ever created. Krasus states that after their mission is over, he will return to end the abominations.Template:Cite Following their flight path to Kalimdor, this island would be somewhere north of the Maelstrom.

- South Seas (contains many islands)
Travelling the continents
Outland's continents
Outland does not have continents in the traditional view. Outland is itself a single continent that represents the remnants of what were once Draenor. Draenor may have had more than one continent before it was shattered, but these land masses have names lost to the mists of history.
The Elemental Plane's continents
The Elemental Plane has one continent: Deepholm.Template:Cite
The Emerald Dream's continents
The Emerald Dream and Azeroth "are quasi-duplicates of each other".Template:Cite
