I like your converging moons theory, but I wonder if the name of the Bay of Storms hints at a simpler, if less interesting answer. Regular violent storms could send large waves far inland, and (at least from what I remember) stormy weather effects are very common in the zone.

I like that idea too! Azshara is one of the closest zones to the Maelstrom, so it could be that its close proximity, combined with things like ocean and wind currents, would result in massive storms as well! Thanks for the input Zakary!! :)

I kind of like that Azshara is an abandoned zone, it sort of fits with this "former glory" theme of the ruins. Like if this place was settled by large Horde and Alliance forces, it would take away the strange yet sylvan and enchanting feel of the zone

Azshara was one of my favorite zones pre-Cata 😩 I loved most of the high-level zones, but Azshara stuck out because of the notable loot! Leatherworking patterns, enchanting mats, high lvl chests, demonic runes, & whelpling pets 🥰 It was also a zone usually teeming with farming bots, so it was about the only time I would PvP 😅

I know Azshara may lack on content, and seems unfinished in classic.. but imo thats also a contributing factor to what makes it great. The feelings of solitude and peace is amazing. Its also unique autumn like enviroment and ancient ruins is so cool; even though falling off a cliff and then have to find your way back could be frustrating to say it the least. Love Azshara

I couldn't agree more! Definitely less developed than it could have been, but I think I like it better that way than what happened in Cataclysm! All the goblin additions made the zone seem more like a meme.

I’m not sure if someone else has mentioned it but I learned that the moons line up every 430 years from an aspects video I watched. A dragon can only become an aspect when the moons line up, and the last time this happened, Kalecgos became the blue aspect. Edit: omg I didn’t even get 4 minutes in when I wrote this comment 😂

I prefer the old version as well! ... I personally think Blizzard went a little too far in making the goblins the "joke" characters instead of focusing on the more serious parts of their lore like their battles with trolls, the intricacies of their trading empire, etc... hence why Azshara is now a big rollercoaster zone instead of the lonely Elven ruins zone. :')

Azshara having a (if former) major hub of the Night Elfs would have solved a prime plothole in WoW. Namely, where the hell where the Night Elfen settlements actually? For a continent that was previously settled only by Tauren and Night Elfs, there is a complete lack of Night Elfen cities and villages. Teldrassil was created after Warcraft 3 as a replacement of the one that Archimond blew up, so without the Tree there is no Darnassus, raising the question of what was the capital of the Elfs before that. Apart from that, at least in game, the only other settlement we have is Astranaar, as everything else are just single buildings or post Warcraft 3 like Auberdine in Darkshore. Night elfs, for such a major power have a suprising lack of settled places, infact they had virtually non seemingly

Definitely an interesting problem to think about! I know the elves' numbers were diminished after the War of the Ancients / the Sundering but I agree there really should have been more cities 10,000 years later besides, what, Astranaar and Auberdine? Maybe after the Night Elf / High Elf Empire collapsed Blizzard really wanted to convey that they live more in harmony with nature in smaller colonies instead of developing mega cities? Not sure, but I can definitely see this turning into a future video! :)

Seeing as there was no real settlement in WC3 during the NE campaign, I kind of just assumed they lived in the wilds for the most part (besides the Barrow Downs of course). Post-destruction the Night Elves changed their ways a lot. Opening up roles normally not done (fem-druids, male priests, etc.), creating permanent settlements, interacting with outsiders, etc. The destruction of the world tree didn't just end their immortality, it forced them to restructure their entire culture.

@@DrewPicklesTheDark Aside from Ashenvale and Darkshore, the elves had a lot of large settlements in modern-day Felwood (at the time, just the northern parts of Ashenvale), Hyjal, and Moonglade. So they had quite a few settlements before Teldrassil, but a lot of them got destroyed in the 3rd war.
