World of Warcraft

Basics

The World of Warcraft or WOW, as it is known in astronomical circles, is a newly-discovered planet on the outer rim of our Solar System. It is unique in being the only other planet in the universe that is known to have human life on it, as well as many other species of organisms.

Location & Geography

Usually located about 1937561444228881 kilometres from Pluto, WOW, like Uranus, has an orbit that is not circular in nature. This strange fact causes the world's distance from the earth to fluctuate haphazardly, at times.

The surface of WOW, like Earth, is covered by either water or land mass, with the continent of Kalimdor dominating the surface of the planet. In Kalimdor, cities such as Stormwind City, Ironforge, The Undercity and Ogrimmar are found, providing shelter for the vast numbers of organisms that call WOW their home.

Life

As previously mentioned, WOW is home to many forms of life, including human. Such organisms include Yetis, Flayers, Ghouls, Whelps, Goretusks, Kobolds, Orcs, Ogres, Plainstriders, Ursas, Raptors, Zhevras and Timberlings. While humans are also present on WOW, they are not strictly native to the planet, finding themselves there via Blizzard Portals.

Blizzard

Humans find themselves on WOW via Blizzard, a phenomenon that allows interplanetary travel between the two planets. Using Blizzard, people are able to enter WOW, engage in a variety of activities and directly influence the conditions in WOW itself.

Such technology has its drawbacks, however. Certain humans have found themselves killed, or worse, after what they have termed lag or ping. Absolute Facts has found that this unfortunate occurence in the design of the grand scheme of things is due to the above-mentioned orbit of WOW. As the distances between the two planets are never constant, humans on Earth that also inhabit WOW experience such breaks in reality, often to disastrous results.
