Bazaar

The Bazaar, with the Sunfury Spire on the background.

The Bazaar is a subzone of western Silvermoon City. It contains one of the two Auction Houses of the capital and the Wayfarer's Rest Tavern among other things.

This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

After the Scourge invasion in the Third War, the Bazaar became a safe place for the high elven survivors led by Lor'themar Theron. It was also here that the fallen king Anasterian Sunstrider was cremated, and where his son Prince Kael'thas renamed the high elf survivors as sin'dorei - the blood elves following the Sunwell destruction.

This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

There is a gathering of blood elves in the southwest corner of the Bazaar, where Lyria Skystrider and Priest Ennas are leading a public forum arguing against the policies of the blood elven leadership, specifically their decision to break off their ties to the Alliance and join the Horde. After a few minutes, three Silvermoon Magisters in the crowd summon Priest Kath'mar who immediately casts a mind-control spell on Lyria and Ennas, causing their speech to become completely supportive of Lor'themar Theron and the Magisters.

Notes and trivia

• According to Mathias Shaw's reports, the spot for debates has blood elves engage in friendly shouting matches, and SI:7 spies attended them to see who was sympathetic to the Alliance. They also know about court priests changing the minds of those who spoke out against the leadership.
• An unusable gate to the Dead Scar exists here, with the map implying it was an exit at some point.
• Sorim Lightsong the Cloth Quartermaster could be found here before he was removed from the game in patch 4.0.3a.
• The word "bazaar" derives from the Persian word bāzār, which is a permanent covered marketplace where goods are sold or traded.
