Cataclysm Classic Zones Overview

Embarking on a journey through the reshaped lands of Azeroth in Cataclysm Classic, adventurers will discover seven new zones, each with its own unique challenges and stories.

• Kezan: New Goblin Race Starting Zone (now live)
  The starting zone for the goblin race, Kezan is a tropical island paradise turned industrial powerhouse. Players will experience the goblins’ resourceful and profit-driven culture before the island’s volatile volcano erupts.
• Gilneas: New Worgen Race Starting Zone (now live)
  A land shrouded in mystery, Gilneas is the starting zone for the worgen race. Here, players will uncover the curse that transforms the inhabitants into ferocious beasts and the fight to reclaim their homeland.
• Mount Hyjal (80-82)
  Revered as a sacred place by the night elves, Mount Hyjal is under siege by Ragnaros, who seeks to burn the World Tree Nordrassil. Heroes are called to aid the Guardians of Hyjal, a new faction dedicated to protecting this ancient land.
• Vashj’ir (80-82)
  An expansive underwater zone, Vashj’ir is a sunken realm teeming with aquatic life and the remnants of a lost Highborne civilization. Players will navigate through the depths, uncovering the mysteries of the naga and their queen, Azshara.
• Deepholm (82-83)
  Located within the Elemental Plane, Deepholm is the domain of Therazane the Stonemother. This zone is where Deathwing made his cataclysmic return to Azeroth.
• Uldum (83-84)
  Uldum is a land of vast deserts and monumental architecture. It holds the secrets of the Titans and is coveted by the nefarious Deathwing and his allies for its powerful artifacts.
• Twilight Highlands (84-85)
  Home to the Wildhammer dwarves and Dragonmaw orcs, the Twilight Highlands are fraught with conflict. The zone also serves as the entrance to the Bastion of Twilight, where Cho’gall and his Twilight’s Hammer cult reside.

Each zone offers a unique slice of the world’s story and presents players with new quests, dungeons, and raids. As adventurers traverse these lands, they’ll witness the aftermath of Deathwing’s destruction and join forces with Azeroth’s defenders to restore balance.
