Talk:Aerie Peaks

From WoWWiki

In regards to the Speculation as to the relationship between the Aerie Peaks and the Hinterlands in World of Warcraft: Is it not possible that the Aerie Peaks in this context are not truly a zone, instead being the name of the Mountain Chain that runs through the north of the Hinterlands? It would explain the city which takes its name and would still work, and seeing as how the mountains are largely insurmountable by players, would it not be possible that the Wildhammers, being dwarves who've lived there for numerous generations and their relationship with the Gryphons, are alone in their access to it?

Sure its possible. But I have a feeling that the retcon is that they dropped the "s" from aerie peaks to make it singular.Baggins 06:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hence the meaning of "Peaks"...   Ibbert T/C 22:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I always understood Northeron as the mountains sourrounding the Hinterlands, hence the Hinterlands is a valley(or several) in the mountains. The Aerie Peaks is the dwarven realm in Northeron and the Hinterlands and Aerie Peak is the capital of The Aerie Peaks. -Rovdyr 13:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Upside-down map?

In the book Day of the Dragon it is said that Aerie Peaks is a distant foreboding, mountainous region even beyond the realm of Quel'thalas. If you look at a map of the world, Quel'thalas is much farther away than Aerie Peaks. This quote was from an elf while she was in the region of Lordaeron. Rolandius (talk) 11:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
