Off the coast of Gilneas, the island-prison of Tol Barad is another point of contention between the two main power, who are constantly fighting for control. The reef of Vashj'ir off the coast of the Eastern Kingdoms became accessible, and Horde and Alliance are recruiting seasoned soldiers to explore and claim the underwater territory. The Maelstrom itself, damaged by Deathwing, has opened a portal directly to the Elemental Plane of Earth, Deepholm, reachable only to those specially summoned there. The Cataclysm caused many changes in the Great Sea, and several new locations became accessible to players: The goblin isle of Kezan and the Lost Isles are located just southwest of the Maelstrom but are unreachable except during the goblin starting questlines. The two have had numerous naval skirmishes. Since the war against the Lich King, the Great Sea has become more heavily traveled by both Horde and Alliance. When the Horde ravaged the kingdom of Stormwind and killed its advocate, King Llane, Anduin Lothar rallied his countrymen and charted their retreat across the Great Sea - and onto the shores of Lordaeron. This sea did not exist prior to the Great Sundering, thus, after the Well of Eternity was destroyed, and ancient Kalimdor was split asunder, the waters that filled in the void became known as the Great Sea. Since the South Seas, the Frozen Sea, and the Coral Sea are found in between the continents, they are also part of this vast ocean. In order to cross it, the Horde primarily uses zeppelins while the Alliance prefers to use boats. This stretch of sea is so vast you will die of fatigue before you can swim any significant distance. The Great Sea makes up the deep waters between the continents of Azeroth, with the Maelstrom located at its center. The Great Sea stretches from eastern Kalimdor to western Eastern Kingdoms, and from northern Pandaria to southern Northrend. For the quest map, see Third Fleet shipwrecks.
