The Eastern Kingdom's is an isle still uncharted. These lands, apart from being vastly inhabited by the games major races such as the Undead, the Humans, the Gnomes, the Dwarves, and even the neutral Goblins, there are areas still left un-accounted for.
Will these areas be accounted for once the expansion comes out? Will Blizzard finally give us new land to tread on? To let us cause a helpless slaughter? Will some of these areas be covered in later expansions, and why? It does leaves some recurring thoughts in the mind, doesn't it.
Will these areas of Eastern Kingdoms be used for the new mystery upcoming Alliance Race?
There has been no sign of what we will get yet, right? It leaves one to ponder where the new alliance race will have its starting zone.
The coastal regions of Eastern Kingdoms are just as untouched as the oceans that lie between the great continents of Azeroth. Might the new alliance race start in one of these areas?
Here are some areas to mention that we tend to forget about.
-The coastal area east of Wetlands
-The coastal area east of Badlands
-The area just north of Stormwind
-The coastal area east of Arathi Highlands
-The two islands West of Westfall
After thinking about that, on the coasts of the Eastern Kingdoms, does the whole word 'Coast' relate to a clue about what the new alliance race will be? Does it start to sound like something already?
We already know about the Blood Elves being used as a Horde playable race in the expansion, and that they will reside in Quel'thalas, north of Eastern Plaguelands, but here is an area which is also still often overlooked at what will be there:
-Gilneas [the area south of Silverpine Forest]
As far as most see it, Kalimdor is pretty much filled up in terms of new zones. Hyjal, Home of the Great World Tree. We know that will be used in the expansion, as Blizzard slowly work on this area during each patch. This area is said to be a raid instance. So what else is there to put a new race in Kalimdor?
So what are your thoughts? Bring some light to the matter, if you know your stuff about WoW. What do you think might lie ahead of the future of World of Warcraft?
