	Games - Warcraft Universe

The Warcraft Universe is the fictional universe in which the Warcraft series of computer games is set. Known worlds of this fantasy universe are Azeroth (homeworld of the Humans) and Draenor (homeworld of the Orcs). As the name implies the Warcraft Universe largely revolves around conflict with the two major factions, the Alliance and the Horde. The setting was very much inspired by the Warhammer Fantasy
games, and, to some extent, the Dungeons & Dragons
multiverse. The fantasy works of J. R. R. Tolkien also served as a foundation; many of the races are patterned after Tolkien's, and placenames are often made to sound like Sindarin, the predominant Elvish language used in Lord of the Rings.
