Zandalar

Zandalar is a tropical continent in the World of Warcraft universe, home to the Zandalari Empire, one of the oldest and most influential troll civilizations. Located in the southern reaches of the Great Sea, Zandalar comprises varied biomes, including jungle regions around Zuldazar, marshlands around Nazmir, and arid coastlines near Vol'dun. The continent houses the city of Dazar'alor, the ceremonial and political capital of the Zandalari Empire, and serves as the heart of the empire's administration and religious life.

The Zandalari are known for their unity and long-range diplomacy, a centralized monarchy that combines royal authority with a priesthood dedicated to the loa, or troll deities. They employ advanced engineering and magic, and their society emphasizes scholars, priests, and skilled artisans. Loa worship is central to daily life, guiding leadership, law, and ritual practices. The empire maintains a formidable navy and a tradition of monumental architecture, visible in temple complexes and palatial structures.

Historically, Zandalar was the seat of a powerful troll empire that united many tribes under a single banner. In the Warcraft storyline, the Zandalari Empire features prominently during the Battle for Azeroth expansion, where the faction interacts with the Horde and participates in campaigns in Zandalar and related regions. The region continues to be a focal point for Troll lore and for Warcraft's broader geopolitics, with ongoing political and cultural developments reflected in game content.
