AzSheelden

AzSheelden is a fictional region located within the *World of Warcraft* universe, primarily featured in the expansion *Warlords of Draenor*. It is a mountainous, volcanic region situated on the continent of Draenor, known for its harsh terrain and rich history tied to the orcs and their allies.

Originally part of the ancient orcish kingdom of Draenor, AzSheelden was settled by orcs fleeing the destruction of their homeland after the Third War. The region was later claimed by the Iron Horde, a faction led by Garrosh Hellscream, who sought to expand his influence across Draenor. AzSheelden became a key battleground during the events of the *Warlords of Draenor* expansion, as the Alliance and Horde clashed over control of its resources and strategic importance.

The landscape of AzSheelden is dominated by towering peaks, active volcanoes, and deep canyons, reflecting its volcanic origins. Notable locations include the city of Ironpaw Hold, a stronghold of the Iron Horde, and the ruins of the ancient orcish fortress of Blackrock Keep. The region is also home to various orcish clans, including the Iron Horde’s followers, as well as other factions such as the Vengeance Clan and the Frostwolf Clan.

AzSheelden plays a significant role in the expansion’s narrative, serving as a testing ground for the Horde’s ambitions and a site of intense conflict. Its volcanic activity and mineral wealth make it a valuable territory, contributing to the region’s strategic value in the broader conflict between the Alliance and Horde. The area’s rugged beauty and historical significance also make it a notable setting within the *World of Warcraft* lore.
