THE AMAZING MAP
This archive keeps editorial stories and approximate pins. Use the interactive map to browse recorded NPC locations.
This is the big map on the tavern wall. Interesting news, hidden quests, community discoveries and stories get pinned onto Azeroth at roughly the right bearing — pins are editorial approximations, the point is which sea, which shore. A bubble tours the finds automatically, pauses when you hover, and clicking a pin jumps to the ledger below; pick a category to filter.
