A racial faction map of Azeroth

(I posted this in the lore section but maybe you guys could have a use for it too)

Hi everyone!! At some point I though it would be cool to have a map of Azeroth that pinpoints every race/autonomous group where they stand, so we could have a single visual representation of what geopolitical Azeroth looks like. I didn’t find any so I did this. I also included all of the neutral races and groups, so maybe we can guess which ones are likely to hop in the faction wars. Might also remind people of old fancy races LMAO. So anyway I did this for myself but I thought perhaps it might interest some of you guys (right click it and open the picture in a new tab to see it in full size)

A few remarks :

  • Orgrimmar is insanely overcrowded
  • Northrend and Pandaria are both heavily decentralized continents, so it’s home to many, many small independent groups. No doubt the Horde and Alliance would be very wise to go back campaigning there as they could recruit considerable forces
  • Funnily enough, almost all of the racial capitals on the two main continents (Kalimdor and EK) are built on the coastline facing the enemy continent
  • Both factions are extremely weak on the enemy continent right now. Even though the Alliance looks like it has a good grip on Northern Kalimdor, it’s almost all affiliated to Darnassus really, so if Darnassus is in a bad state…
  • Everyone has forgotten about Morgan’s Militia but my girl intends to build a brand new kingdom of her own right in the middle of the Blasted Lands like that’s a thing

Anyway I tried to be exhaustive but surely I missed a few things so feel free to correct me on stuff!!!

Ty ! For some reason I couldn’t post pictures directly

Pretty good, I think the image needs to be a bit bigger as some races portraits are a bit hard to see and some races on the Wandering Isle are missing that are included elsewhere.

Yeah imgur doesn’t let you zoom in much, you can right click it, open it in a new tab and see it in full size though (I’ll edit the first post).
What did I miss in the Wandering Isle ?

As much of a cool idea this is… this map really did hurt my eyes.

Thank you for the effort, but please make it a little easier to look at :slight_smile:

It would be easier to make if you just colored the map in the faction which is controlling the land. This way it goes too hard on the eyes.

Yea you guys are right, but when I realized that I was already in too deep lol
There are just sooo many things to cover
