Looks like a fairy zone to me because it looks like a fairy zone? Flowers, Mytical trees, literal fairies and saytrs. Looks like a Mythic Forest where Mythical beings would roam. Looks like a WoW themed Fairy Zone and Winter Queen looks like Titania was the inspiration. Looks like something Faerie dragon would roam around as well. There doesn’t seem to be an Oberon, but they have Faun so I’ll give that nod.

How is Arden weld vastly different from Ashen vale, Shadowmoon Valley enough to distinct it differently.

For example, thats exist not in Ashenvale, Shadowmoon Valley or anywhere else.

This was something i wasn’t aware of if so thats good to see Arden weld actually has a variety.

You see trollbuildings there, btw, the only “People of Azeroth” stuff inside the Whole Ardenwaeld…not even the night elf get something, so…pls, Ridiculous “night elf bias” is screamed here.

Those def. look Drust themed now lol. Though they also look a bit Maldraxxus themed?

The color blue is owned by the Night Elves.

I am curious if there are things that are outer worldly to reflect non-Azerothians denizens.

Draenei had blue since Azuremyst Isles as a result of winding up in Night Elven Territory.

Blue is much darker in Ashenvale than Ardenweald and Shadowmoon Valley(both of which have Starry Skies).

I was poking fun at folks saying Ardenweald is Night Elf themed.

It’s understandable that people see NE when they look at Ardenweald. At the same time you can’t really judge a zone based on aesthetics so it is very silly.

God, I wish, Outland is my jam.

Now we’re talking.
