The model new landmass in The Conflict Inside known as Khaz Algar and is positioned within the very innards of Azeroth itself. Khaz Algar, often known as Sector AR-938, was initially found by an Earthen expedition despatched by the titan keepers to discover this new area.
Sadly for the expedition, they misplaced contact with their floor brethren after a while, resulting in the creation of a separate earthen kingdom within the very stomach of Azeroth itself.
Remoted, this new earthen kingdom maintained most of the traits of the unique Earthen, chief amongst which is their “earthen look”, which stays unaltered versus their floor kin which later grew to become the Dwarves on account of the Curse of Flesh.
The Areas of Khaz Algar.
Khaz Algar has 4 areas: Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, and Azj-Kahet.
