Nagrand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nagrand is a new area in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade within Outland. It is described by Jeff Kaplan as "the plains".

Nagrand was later stated to be the traditional homeland of the Orcs on Draenor, and that they wandered in nomadic clans, occasionally trading with the learned Draenei.

Interview with Jeff Kaplan on GameSpot has this to say on Nagrand: So far, the coolest experience I've had was boarding a flying mount in a zone called Nagrand and flying out over the plains. I think anyone who has ridden a gryphon or wyvern in World of Warcraft has fantasized about being able to steer it in any direction they want. The freedom and beauty of flying over the expansion lands was really exhilarating.

In the The Burning Crusade Nagrand is explained as 'the last uncorrupted zone in Outland' where a few uncorrupted orcs live, under the guidance of Greatmother Geyah, Thrall's grandmother.
