[SHOWOFF:Worldbuild] [WotLk] Cleft Of Refuge <Ongoing>

Hello, I've been working on this zone for 4 days, and it's my first. It's currently incomplete but I will be updating this when ever I make a huge update to this project.

The minutemen of Lordaeron is a group that's used to help protect the hillsbrad, and arathi outposts where living humans try to rebuild from the 3rd war. Their main enemies are the forsaken, the scourge, and in some cases the scarlet crusade. The group began during the events of the frozen throne after a bunch of living humans recruited themselves into an organized protection group for Lordaeron and neighboring fallen kingdoms that were attacked by the scourge.

Port Refuge was built after the events of the frozen throne during Warcraft 3 by the Lordaeron minutemen. The minutemen of Lordaeron receive supplies from Stormwind, Ironforge, and most recently Dalaran to attempt to kick out the scourge and forsaken from Lordaeron. Port Refuge also serves as a place where living humans who once lived in Lordaeron can live in and support the Lordaeron minutemen's state.

Fort Hope was built during Vanilla once 1/3 of Port Refuge was built. Fort Hope Is the biggest stronghold for the minutemen, because it serves as protection for Port Refuge. Currently it's aimed as the first target for the forsaken's mission of destroying the rest of the living Lordaeron humans, and raising them into the forsaken ranks.

Queen's hand is an outpost created by Sylvanas after discovering the secret location of the headquarters of the Lordaeron minutemen. Sylvanas has been torturing captive citizens and soldiers of Port Refuge in Queen's hand, thus is her policy for traitors. Queen's hand was built during the wrath of the lich king when the tension between the two factions of the forsaken, and minutemen were higher than ever.

Amaroth:
Common mistake done by beginners. They create a map, spawn WMOs on flat ADT and then start modelling terrain. This leads only to one very simple result - cities look very, very flat. Height levels are very important for highlighting special parts or for simply dividing parts which don't completely belong next to each other. That guildhouse could be on some sort of small cliff, the same applies to blacksmith and central houses around it, and so on.

Just take a quickl look here. YOu won't understand a single word probably, but more important is what is to be seen - quarters, cliffs, height levels - it makes city look much more real than some sort of huge flat area.
