The Dragon Isles are the homeland of Azeroth's dragonflights, and themain zone of the Dragonflight expansion.

The Dragon Isles are a new continent introduced in the Dragonflightexpansion. They consist of 6 zones — four leveling zones and two max-levelzones.

The Dragon Isles worldspace will be larger than Northrend, according toan interview.

The Dragon Isles zone progression is linear, and you must tacklethe zones in a particular order for your first time leveling.

As you progress, you will make your way through the Waking Shores,roiling with elemental power; the vast expanse of the Ohn'ahran Plains;the frosty peaks of the Azure Span, and the majestic spires and templesof Thaldraszus.

The Waking Shores is the first zone you will visit in Dragonflight.It is a wild untamed land that has begun to reawaken. Protodragons soar throughthe sky, elementals are rising as the magic of the land does, and the land isrife with opportunities.

The Explorers' League and The Reliquary will side with players to uncoverwhat these mysterious lands have to offer.

In the Waking Shores, you will learn more about the red dragonflight ledby Alexstrasza, the Lifebinder.

The main enemies of the red dragonflight in this zone are the Djaradin.These half-giants wield the power of magma. The Djaradin awoke from their slumberalongside the Dragon Isles to create chaos anew.

The Waking Shores is also the ancestral home of the black dragonflight. Wrathionjoins you as he comes to terms with the state of the dragonflight, which isin a diminished state.

The Waking Shores host a few surprises, allowing brave adventurersto observe ducks in their natural habitat as they take flight(through Dragonriding) in the very skies where the greatest of creaturesare bound to soar.

After the Waking Shores, the second zone players will venture into is calledthe Ohn'ahran Plains. The area is named after the wild god of wind,Ohn'ahra, who has appeared before as a large spirit eagle that helped guide the centaursto the Dragon Isles many years before. She blessed them, took their caravan acrossthe isles, and showed them the plains where they could make their new home.

The centaur encountered the green dragonflight here and fought for dominanceonly to find that neither they nor the green dragonflight was stronger than theother. As a result, they made peace with each other.

The centaur took the plains and the green dragonflight made their homesin the groves.

You will meet centaur clans led by Maruuk and Teera, who helped found theirnew life in the Ohn'ahran Plains.

With such a large expanse of land to see, the engineers for WoW made additionalimprovements to allow for greater view distance so that you can fully enjoythe beauty of this rich landscape.

Azure Span is the third zone and one of the biggest zones created to datein the game. It is inspired by Grizzly Hills.

As you explore it, you will come upon a wide-open tundra alight with goldsand reds until you reach the next level of elevation where you will get tosee the snow. The majority of the zone is covered in snow and ice withgiant frozen waterfalls and ice rivers.

Here, you will aid the tuskarr alongside the blue dragonflight and followthe story of Kalecgos as he ventures into Sindragosa's archives.

Thaldraszus offers something more pristine compared to other zones withbeautifully intact buildings in the seat of power for all five dragonflightsand home of the dragons. Here, vertical lofty mountains and great cave systemscreate a compelling new land to explore.

Thaldraszus is home to the bronze dragonflight and their power over timelends itself to a variety of gameplay options and adventures for playersto undertake.

You will find Tyrhold in Thaldraszus. Built by the Titan keeper, Tyr,this ten-thousand-year old Titan technological marvel houses great aqueducts thatreach across the valley. It was Tyr who helped the Aspects fight Galakrond andwhen they came to settle in the Dragon Isles, he also built this facility.

Even though Tyr is long gone, the dragonflights still worship him.

The Dragon Isles currently have two max-level zones. The first one isForbidden Reach, added in Patch 10.0.7.

The second max-level zone is Zaralek Cavern. It was added inPatch 10.1.

The main hub in Dragonflight is called Valdrakken.The zone is located in Thaldraszus. It is a culmination of all thedragons' efforts and provides several vignettes to enjoy, from the bluedragonflight's public library to the red and green dragonflight's own separategardens.

The city does have an Auction House.
