Location | Khaz Algar |
The Isle of Dorn is a zone on the surface of Khaz Algar and introduced in World of Warcraft: The War Within. The island is located west of Pandaria and southeast of Kalimdor. It is a lush and vibrant island[1] with sweeping vistas, cascading waterfalls, and majestic mountains.[2]
History
When the Elemental Lords dominated the planet, the land that would become the Isle of Dorn (then part of the Kalimdor supercontinent) was under the control of Al'Akir.[3]
The titans' forces came to call this area Sector AR-938. After the Ordering of Azeroth, a contingent of earthen was sent by the titan keepers to investigate a geological anomaly in a fissure detected on Sector AR-938. In time, these earthen began to display behaviors similar to those who had fallen under the influence of the flesh, despite being separated by a great distance and sharing no cultural ties whatsoever. To the keepers, the similarities were uncanny. Although both groups remained physiologically distinct, the earthen had started to refer to Sector AR-938 as Khaz Algar, and their behaviors, language, and demeanor showed many similarities to other former earthen groups.[4] The keeper Archaedas assigned the watchers Dornic and Galan to oversee the earthen. The earthen would eventually rebel against Dornic for his cruel treatment.[5]
Getting there
Players initially get to the Isle of Dorn early in the Isle of Dorn storyline. Once there, portals to Stormwind City and Orgrimmar are found in the Foundation Hall of Dornogal, the capital city of the expansion.
