Lighthouses can be found near ports and coastlines. They are used to warn ships of cliffs and rocks, and are very valuable to whoever controls them. Most of the Lighthouses found in Azeroth are under the control of the Alliance.

Examples of lighthouses are:

Eastern Kingdoms

• King's Harbor Lighthouse (also part of Scarlet Overlook)
• Stormwind Harbor Lighthouse (New Model)
• Westfall Lighthouse

Kalimdor

• Alcaz Island Lighthouse
• Auberdine Lighthouse (uses a night elven design)
• Theramore Lighthouse

Northrend

• Farshire Lighthouse
• Venture Bay Lighthouse

There is one standard lighthouse model that most lighthouses use. Stormwind has a newer, larger model, and Auberdine has a Night Elf design.
