Thunder Bluff

by georgembeeman

Thunder Bluff is the tauren capital city located in the northern part of the region of Mulgore on the continent of Kalimdor. The entire city is built on bluffs several hundred feet above the surrounding landscape, and is accessible by elevators on the southwestern and northeastern sides.

The various rises in Thunder Bluff act a bit like neighborhoods or quarters in a human city, or the valleys and keeps of the orcish city Orgrimmar.

Thunder Bluff has a central mesa divided into three rises, surrounded by three additional mesas with distinct names:

  • Central Rise (In-game is split in to the Lower Rise, Middle Rise and High Rise)
    • Lower Rise (southwestern lifts from main north road)
    • Middle Rise (northeastern lifts from plains)
    • High Rise (east from wind rider roost)
  • Elder Rise (rope bridges from middle and high rise)
  • Hunter Rise (rope bridges from lower and high rise)
  • Spirit Rise (rope bridges from lower and middle rise)
    • Pools of Vision (cave entrance from Spirit Rise)
