Which northern continent is central to Wrath of the Lich King?

The story behind the answer

The northern continent central to Wrath of the Lich King is Northrend.

Northrend is a crescent-shaped continent in northern Azeroth and the main setting of World of Warcraft’s second expansion. It is the home of the Lich King Arthas Menethil and the Scourge, making it the destination for the Alliance and Horde expeditions launched to confront him.

Players entered Northrend through zones such as Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord, then advanced through regions including Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, and Icecrown. The continent supported the expansion’s level range from 68 to 80 and introduced the Death Knight hero class. Northrend is not Outland: Outland was the principal new world in The Burning Crusade, while Kalimdor is one of Azeroth’s original continents and Pandaria arrived in a later expansion.
