Strangely enough it was spearheaded by Alexander the Great, oddly enough he went on to create a citadel that dwarfed any he had ever dreamed. This citadel drew other powerful men and women, around it formed a city that became the most important location in this world. By many it is considered the central hub of the world. Its Alexandrian venues and streets with parallel rivers give it an otherworldly appearance. It is timeless in its beauty, with towers of marble concrete. A strange but beautiful creation of this world. Where marble was harvested and ground down, mixed with stone, white paint and tar. This strange off-white beauty makes these streets both sturdy and breathtaking. As with any great city, there is a major center for commerse and trade. As well as restaurants, bars, and gentleman's clubs surrounding the trade center. As the Greats adapted to this world where language meant nothing, they came to accept this new life. Creating civilizations among their own kind. With great leaders spearheading every great citystate, there was little in the way of total war. Though constant skirmishes were wholesale, these people thriving on battle did so to entertain their violent tendencies. As a major centralized city center, there are travelers from every corner of the world. Aliens and demigods, warlords and god emperors. Alexander's citystate became the home to so many cultures and societies. It was set to prosper eternally, and with Alexander unlikely to ever leave his seat as leader, this was the way things would remain. Alexandria is pretty central, though it does lie north of the Equatorial ring of landmass. It is peninsular and only has borders on the southern end. [b]Shen's Tavern:[/b] A regal high class tavern on the outskirts of Alexandria, this is home and business to the Pandaren man Liu. With beautiful oriental decor it draws the eyes of any who pass it, as it stands out sharply to the marble concrete of Alexandria. Popular for some of the more alcoholic or personable champions of the World of War, this has become somewhat of a social center. As with most taverns, its layout is simple and elegant. Though it is the victim of occasional rambunctious customers who become unruly and rowdy, letting out their drunken rage on the other customers. [b]The Crystal Desert:[/b] Remnants from the Architect's construct world, when a tournament was hosted in that land it managed to leave the world in ruins. The former glory is now a haunting ruinous beauty, with spires of strange mottled black stone and crystal spires that jut outwards from the ground. Tracts of glass from the battlegrounds of their tournament show the depth of power that these warriors wielded. Warriors come here these days to test their mettle against one another on the former battlefield, using the enormous pillars of black stone and spires of crystal as cover or even as weapons if they've got the strength. It is a battleground for hardy warriors who are comfortable in the sunbeating days and frigid cold nights, though one question remains unanswered. If every location is the domain of a champion, whose domain is this? [b]Backfields:[/b] The domain of the warrior Dunnaman, it is marked in the center by a crater and an empty grave. A strange location, even Dunnaman himself doesn't quite understand why this is the location that came with him. It's pretty much your standard grassland location, though there is a large patch of dead grass and dry dirt surrounding the crater left behind by some unknown impact. There are a few sparse trees and a few of them look like they're recovering from damage that they took at one point in time. There are a few stumps and a makeshift log cabin here, Dunnaman is frequently seen here. The log cabin is pretty simple with a icebox, table, chair and a bed in the corner. Y'know, simple stuff. Dunnaman fiercely defends his domain from invaders, though never actually offends anyone else. He doesn't stop others from fighting in his domain though. It's about a mile long, it borders the Crystal Desert on the northern end.
