Since the exciting information about the third expansion of World of Warcraft has been leaked out online, everybody has been religiously seeking for new details surrounding the events in Cataclysm. And the big question is how would the new world of Azeroth be look like after the “Great Sundering”. Thanks Hothgor of MMO-Champion for sharing a few photos that gives you clues on how the Azeroth were split up into different continents as well as a hidden easter egg in WOW game that will show you a rough sketch of the post-Azeroth. Find it out after a few break.

With the imminent announcement of World of Warcraft – Catacylsm, it only seems fitting that some attention is paid to the ‘clues’ already placed in the game.  Perhaps the most glaring example of what Azeroth will look like can be found in HoL and Ulduar.

This is the Eastern Kingdoms.  This area of the world does not seem to be affected very much by the events to come.

This is Kalimdor.  Notice how the entire central area of the continent has been devastated, presumably by the Cataclysm.  You can pick out Azshara fairly easily, as well as Winterspring, Teldrassil and the Azure/Bloodmyst Isles.  What is missing, however, seems to be The Barrens, Stonetalon Peaks, and PARTS of Dustwallow Marsh.  The big island on the right seems to be located approximately where Theramore is now, so perhaps Jania is safe…for now…

Of course, none of this is probably new to most of you guys, but in Ulduar, there is a ‘hidden’ easter egg/treat:

This is Azeroth.  No really, it is!  Take a look.  Its in the hallway leading to Algalon’s room.  You can see Azshara, Dun Morogh, Lake Lordamere and other important land marks.  Want a better view?

Once again you can clearly see ‘northern’ Azeroth.  Winterspring and Azshara are clearly visible from Kalimdor, Quel’Danas and Eversong Woods can also be seen, and Lake Lordamere is clearly visible.  In Northrend, you can clearly see Icecrown Glacier, and careful examination reveals the Caldera and Grizzly Hills.  Now from the other side…

You can easily see Ungoro, Tanaris, 1k Needles, and the Isle of Dread.  You can also barely make out the last portion of Durotar, and across the ocean you can see the edge of Dun Morogh and Stranglethorn Vale.

Now yes, I know the world is on its ’side’, but perhaps that is simply part of the story line.  Conspicuously absent is the Maelstrom…perhaps its ‘vanishing’ is a direct cause of the Cataclysm.  We will find out next week, hopefully!  In the meantime, I present to you the ‘corrected’ new world of Azeroth from WoW-Cataclysm:
