The house on velhan’s claim, in hallowfall, is absolutely amazing. I actually just spent like 10 minutes inside it, just casually looking at and admiring how far this game has came in 20 years.
Just wanted to give a shoutout to whomever designed this house. Also a shoutout to all the devs, and designers, and everyone else involved, because so far, this xpac has exceeded expectations. Ive been an active player for every xpac drop other than BFA, and this one was pretty flawless.

Blizzard always goes hard on Human kingdoms.
Gilneas in 2010 and Kul Tiras in 2018 were Absolute Cinema.
Except, Hallowfall isn’t even a kingdom technically, it’s just an expedition post set up a few years ago. So imagine how mighty and glorious the Empire of Avaloren must be.

It also isn’t a human one. And that is from them. They see themselves as neither human, nor elf.

What do they see themselves as?
Arathri. There is an npc in the first town you visit that says as such.

Why would you–
Ah. The ears.
Legend says that when the Arathi first settled at our home, we were two peoples: humans, and the high elves who joined them to help teach magic. They built the foundations of the Arathi Empire together and became one. We have remained united ever since.
I am not an elf, I am an Arathi.

Lol why are you posting this in the Story Forum? The devs don’t ever come here.
Because the General forum is currently in the “insanity” stage of the expansion where 90% of the threads are QQs about Anduin and Faerin.
It would be a shame to have this praise buried under all that trash.

Kul’Tiras is the pinnacle of Humanity followed by Gilneas.
Stormwind and Stromgarde(the origin point of Humanity) are simply RTS WarCraft Bases placed into the World of WarCraft.
The Arathi Kingdom is the Pinnacle of Half-Elves!
The Orcs’ greatest locale by contrast is Warsong Keep in Borean Tundra in Northrend.
Yes… Gazlowe rebuilt Orgrimmar as a lesser shadow of the Keep in Northrend… Furthermore Hellfire Citadel in Tanaan is also a lesser shadow of Warsong Keep…
Being put in charge of the Horde diminished Garrosh’s vision! Even Gul’dan noted that Hellfire Citadel lacked vision and tried to make additions to it(by having 3 huge solidified molten Fel spikes impale the top floor)!
The Horde’s Elven Capitals Suramar and Quel’Thalas like Warsong Keep had more vision than Orgrimmar and Hellfire Citadel!
