World of Warcraft has taken heroes of the Horde and the Alliance across the cosmos to multiple different planets and, most recently, an
entirely new plane of existence in the form of the Shadowlands. But
there is only one place players of Blizzard's wildly popular MMO truly
call home - Azeroth.To get more news about

Filled with magic, monsters, and the occasional inter-dimensional demon, Azeroth is a diverse world filled with numerous civilizations
dotted across its surface. From the noble Tauren of Thunder Bluff to the
resolute Dwarves, to the ever-resourceful humans of Stormwind to the
tribal Trolls, there are dozens of races that call World of Warcraft's
planet of Azeroth home. It's a world of numerous different biomes too,
ranging from massive forests to frigid mountains and vast deserts to
underwater kingdoms.
After three RTS games and one MMORPG set on the world, nearly every nook
and cranny of Azeroth has been explored, though there are still a few
uncharted lands players are still curious about. But though little of
World of Warcraft's planet remains a mystery and the game has more
recently set off to explore entirely new worlds, there is an actual lore
reason why Azeroth is, and always will be, the center of the WoW
universe.
For a long time in World of Warcraft's lore, it seemed Azeroth was just an incredibly unlucky place to live. Demons from another dimension
routinely arrive in an attempt to destroy the planet. Zombie invasions
led by a Lich King have almost wiped out civilization on multiple
occasions. A nearly world-ending natural disaster caused untold damage,
and ancient dark gods sleep beneath the surface, slowly corrupting those
who would venture too close. A whole lot of near-miss world-ending
events have happened on World of Warcraft's timeline. This is, of
course, because World of Warcraft is a video game, and as such players
constantly need new threats and challenges to overcome. However,
Blizzard recently came up with a creative lore solution for why Azeroth
seems to be the center of attention in the Warcraft universe.
Azeroth, it turns out, is more than just World of Warcraft's planet. It's also a world-soul, i.e. a dormant Titan waiting to awaken. The
Titans are the World of Warcraft universe's cosmic gods and some of the
most powerful characters in Warcraft, responsible for bringing order to
the universe and allowing the intelligent races of the cosmos to
prosper. Eons ago, when Azeroth was still young, one of the Titans,
Sargeras, learned a horrible truth which caused him to form a cosmic
army hell-bent on wiping out life across the galaxy.
Sargeras learned of the power known as the Void, a dark, corrupting
energy that wanted nothing more than to simply consume the entire
universe in darkness. He also learned one of the primary ways the Void
looked to accomplish this goal was to corrupt dormant Titan souls,
transforming them into corrupt Dark Titans that would threaten all of
existence. After destroying a soul close to becoming corrupted, Sargeras
came to the grim conclusion that all life in the universe needed to be
stamped out so that the Void would have nothing left to corrupt. Thus he
formed the demon armies of the Burning Legion and went to war against
his fellow titans.
