Hello everybody, and welcome to the fourth episode of the WoW Rocks series! Today, we’re going to take a look at the tranquil land of Azshara, a maritime zone in WoW Classic that is definitely overlooked and underrated! And hey, you might even get a special look at the fabled Azshara Crater! 😉

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.
Been playing this game forever and it's so cool how these videos add depths to zones I've frequented over the years! Just a well paced video with a nice atmosphere too, keep it up!
Keep up the good work!
Another great video! Keep up the great work!
Nice video keep it up dude!
Ashzara is for sure one of the prettiest zones but it's a b*^ch to navigate and get around with all barriers and ravines. I spent so much time there on my Shaman back in Classic to farm demonic runes from the satyr camps. 😅
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
In cata, the goblins mined the sacred priceless crater/ridge down to a quarry, to help build a “pleasure palace” and rocket taxi
/facepalm lol
Love your stuff more and more with each video. Keep up the good work! I want to see this channel get big and see some cool content
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 😅
Aszahra is just a Very wierd but beautiful calm area …
Azshara was my favorite zone until Cata when it got ruined.
One of the prettiest zones for me (pre cata). Shame there were so few quests there. Also it seemed they didn't finish making this zone in vanilla.
I was questing through the cataclysm version of Azshara today on retail. I like the old version better. (I've played WoW since BC and therefore I know the old version too).
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 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
Stumbled upon your channel today. That tide, moon orbits and alignment bit was great! I Going to gobble up the rest of this playlist!
Azshara is my fav zone. Yes not much content, and to find your way back when falling from one of the coastal Cliffs was a real pain in the arse, but the beautiful serene autumn like enhiroment compared with the feeling of history and solitude is unique and not matched by any other place in the game.
