The Great Dark
The "cosmic map" from World of Warcraft
A world is a geographical category, also known in WoW as planets. Planets exist in the Great Dark, which is apparently the term for what we would call "outer space."
Worlds contain continents.
Known worlds
- Argus, the homeworld of the eredar race of magic-wielders, and their exiled brethren, the draenei.
- Azeroth, the world where most of the action of the WarCraft series is set.
- K'aresh, the original homeworld of the etherals before they evacuated to wander the Twisting Nether.
- Draenor (Outland) was the homeworld of the orcs] and the ogres, other species, and sanctuary of the draenei. It was destroyed in a cataclysm. It remains became the extradimensional realm of OutlandTemplate:Cite.
- Xoroth, the homeworld of the Dreadsteeds (and possibly the Nathrezim and the Tothrezim).

- Homeworld of the Tothrezim (theorized to be Xoroth)
- Homeworld of the Annihilan
- Homeworld of the Demonic hounds (a portal to which exists in Death's Door)
- Homeworld of the Titans
- Homeworld of the Naaru and the Moon dogs
- Homeworld of the Death dogs
- Homeworld of the Voidwalker
- Homeworld of The Codex of Blood and the summoners of Murmur

There are also countless other worlds that have been taken over or obliterated by the Burning Legion.
Placement
In the novel The Last Guardian, the orcs are said to come from a planet on the far side of the Dark Beyond. The sky looked rusty due to the red sun there.Template:Cite
Azeroth and Draenor may be in the same star system, as Azeroth can be seen from the courtyard of the Black Temple. It may be a portal or the like, as Draenor may be completely in the Twisting Nether (which can be used to pass between points in the univerce easily).[citation needed]
Travel between worlds
The only known means of travelling between worlds is through the use of magic and the Twisting Nether. These include:
- Dimensional Gateways, such as the Dark Portal.
- Dimensional Ships, such as Tempest Keep.
- Well of Eternity
- Other portals fueled by various forms of magic. See Teleportation.
