The continent, called Avaloren, was referenced in a lost document in the early stages of Dragonflight. But as the expansion\u2019s first major content update looms on the horizon, it\u2019s possible that Avaloren could be a candidate to be the first new zone added to the world of Dragonflight.\u00a0 A letter found in the new Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr dungeon details an expedition to Avaloren that failed. In the letter, a character named \u201cWatcher Peretheles\u201d writes to the \u201cPrime Designate,\u201d saying that chasing after \u201cHeretics\u201d on the continent would be a fool\u2019s errand.\u00a0 It\u2019s not set in stone what kind of heretics we\u2019d find over in Avaloren, or if we\u2019re even going there at all. But it\u2019s possible that the continent is coming to WoW sometime soon, and it could give us a look at the game\u2019s extensive lore.\u00a0 Here\u2019s everything we know about Avaloren in World of Warcraft, its relation to the game\u2019s story, and when we could potentially see the continent make its debut on Azeroth.\u00a0 What connection does Avaloren have to WoW\u2019s lore? Avaloren is a continent on the far side of Azeroth that predates the Sundering, an event that broke the original singular continent of Kalimdor into the multiple continents of Azeroth players have come to know in the present day. It is said that Avaloren is the home of heretics who defied the rule of the titans.\u00a0 In Watcher Perethales\u2019 letter to the Prime Designate\u2014a title held by Odyn\u2014it\u2019s claimed that chasing after heretics on Avaloren would be \u201cfolly,\u201d as the defenses of the heretics are too strong to penetrate, and another expedition to the continent would be a waste of time.\u00a0 Related: 4 changes we want to see in WoW: Dragonflight season 2 \u201cSurely you can see that further pursuit of the heretics is folly,\u201d Watcher Perethales says in his letter. \u201cYes, they must be made to answer for their crimes against Innaria and the other keepers, but their defenses are not to be underestimated.\u201d\u00a0 This letter, called the \u201cWreckage Analysis Report,\u201d can be found in Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, just beyond the fourth boss of the dungeon, Emberon.\u00a0 Another document in Uldaman called \u201cThe Edicts of the Prime Designate, Volume 742,\u201d paints a picture of revisionist history. In this document\u2014which can also be found in Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr\u2014Odyn tells all of the titan keepers to discredit any achievements made by the Black Empire, and that all \u201cworks of wonder\u201d were brought about by the titans. It\u2019s possible that Odyn\u2019s strict efforts to paint history with broad, titan-favored strokes were opposed by a certain group of people, and they were labeled \u201cheretics\u201d by the Prime Designate. Furthermore, it\u2019s also possible that those heretics ended up on Avaloren to escape Odyn and the titans.\u00a0 Why it would make sense for Avaloren to be in Dragonflight The main storyline of the Dragonflight expansion has had plenty to do with the titans. From exploring Tyrhold to delving into titan ruins, Dragonflight\u2019s max-level campaign has explored the stories of Azeroth\u2019s first watchers. Additionally, with Tyr, a titan keeper, being so prevalent in the story of Dragonflight thus far, it would be reasonable for the campaign to continue in a future patch with even more titan-focused content.\u00a0 The story of the titans and their original impact on Azeroth has been something that players have wanted to see fully fleshed out in WoW for years. And now that we\u2019re finally starting to get into some of the story\u2019s juiciest details, it would make sense for Blizzard to continue it through the end of the current expansion.\u00a0 Blizzard has been leaving titan-related breadcrumbs for players in Dragonflight thus far, particularly through campaign quests and in-game documents, but a massive reveal could be on the horizon\u2014and it would make sense for an already-mentioned place like Avaloren to serve as the site for that reveal.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/01161340\/WoW-UldamanStatues.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810825"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=810825"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":810850,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810825\/revisions\/810850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/810830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=810825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=810825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The continent, called Avaloren, was referenced in a lost document in the early stages of Dragonflight. But as the expansion\u2019s first major content update looms on the horizon, it\u2019s possible that Avaloren could be a candidate to be the first new zone added to the world of Dragonflight.\u00a0 A letter found in the new Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr dungeon details an expedition to Avaloren that failed. In the letter, a character named \u201cWatcher Peretheles\u201d writes to the \u201cPrime Designate,\u201d saying that chasing after \u201cHeretics\u201d on the continent would be a fool\u2019s errand.\u00a0 It\u2019s not set in stone what kind of heretics we\u2019d find over in Avaloren, or if we\u2019re even going there at all. But it\u2019s possible that the continent is coming to WoW sometime soon, and it could give us a look at the game\u2019s extensive lore.\u00a0 Here\u2019s everything we know about Avaloren in World of Warcraft, its relation to the game\u2019s story, and when we could potentially see the continent make its debut on Azeroth.\u00a0 What connection does Avaloren have to WoW\u2019s lore? Avaloren is a continent on the far side of Azeroth that predates the Sundering, an event that broke the original singular continent of Kalimdor into the multiple continents of Azeroth players have come to know in the present day. It is said that Avaloren is the home of heretics who defied the rule of the titans.\u00a0 In Watcher Perethales\u2019 letter to the Prime Designate\u2014a title held by Odyn\u2014it\u2019s claimed that chasing after heretics on Avaloren would be \u201cfolly,\u201d as the defenses of the heretics are too strong to penetrate, and another expedition to the continent would be a waste of time.\u00a0 Related: 4 changes we want to see in WoW: Dragonflight season 2 \u201cSurely you can see that further pursuit of the heretics is folly,\u201d Watcher Perethales says in his letter. \u201cYes, they must be made to answer for their crimes against Innaria and the other keepers, but their defenses are not to be underestimated.\u201d\u00a0 This letter, called the \u201cWreckage Analysis Report,\u201d can be found in Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, just beyond the fourth boss of the dungeon, Emberon.\u00a0 Another document in Uldaman called \u201cThe Edicts of the Prime Designate, Volume 742,\u201d paints a picture of revisionist history. In this document\u2014which can also be found in Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr\u2014Odyn tells all of the titan keepers to discredit any achievements made by the Black Empire, and that all \u201cworks of wonder\u201d were brought about by the titans. It\u2019s possible that Odyn\u2019s strict efforts to paint history with broad, titan-favored strokes were opposed by a certain group of people, and they were labeled \u201cheretics\u201d by the Prime Designate. Furthermore, it\u2019s also possible that those heretics ended up on Avaloren to escape Odyn and the titans.\u00a0 Why it would make sense for Avaloren to be in Dragonflight The main storyline of the Dragonflight expansion has had plenty to do with the titans. From exploring Tyrhold to delving into titan ruins, Dragonflight\u2019s max-level campaign has explored the stories of Azeroth\u2019s first watchers. Additionally, with Tyr, a titan keeper, being so prevalent in the story of Dragonflight thus far, it would be reasonable for the campaign to continue in a future patch with even more titan-focused content.\u00a0 The story of the titans and their original impact on Azeroth has been something that players have wanted to see fully fleshed out in WoW for years. And now that we\u2019re finally starting to get into some of the story\u2019s juiciest details, it would make sense for Blizzard to continue it through the end of the current expansion.\u00a0 Blizzard has been leaving titan-related breadcrumbs for players in Dragonflight thus far, particularly through campaign quests and in-game documents, but a massive reveal could be on the horizon\u2014and it would make sense for an already-mentioned place like Avaloren to serve as the site for that reveal.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/01161340\/WoW-UldamanStatues.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810825"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=810825"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":810850,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810825\/revisions\/810850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/810830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=810825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=810825"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=810825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
