The people of Boralus figured that they would have to get by on their wits and bravery alone.Īccording to folklore, mermaids lived openly near Boralus in those days. It was impossible to build a seawall due to the immense depths of the waters between the spit, and the work of repairing the wall after each storm would've claimed as many lives as it saved. It's said that in the morning, the harbor was so filled with drowned bodies that the living simply covered them with weighted nets to sink them down to the seafloor.

Each year produced at least one storm that destroyed the ships in the harbor and threatened to permanently wipe the rocks clean of both houses and people. Its citizens-fishers, shipwrights, sailors, and pearl-divers-did not live easy lives, for while the town was sheltered from the south by the escarpments of Tiragarde, from the north by the mountains of Stormsong Valley, and from the west by the delta where the three islands of Kul Tiras met, there was nothing to protect it from the Great Sea in the east. In its oldest days, when almost no one thought of themselves as 'Kul Tiran' and when old folk still referred to Gilneas as 'home', Boralus was little more than a collection of houses on a rock. Recently, it has been characterized by political squabbling and criminal activity, and has become a focus of the Fourth War and an important territory for the Alliance. It is usually the only place most visitors ever get to see. Merchants from all over Azeroth dock here to trade their goods. A safe port of call in unsafe waters, Boralus Harbor is, aside from Proudmoore Keep, the most heavily guarded part of the city. Standing as one of the largest ports on Azeroth, the city possesses its own unique personality. Boralus serves as the seat of House Proudmoore, and as a center of trade and military power for the entire nation. It is located on a large strait within the central region of Tiragarde Sound. BoralusĪdmiralty of Kul Tiras, Proudmoore Admiralty, House Proudmoore, Ashvane Trading Company, House Ashvane, Tidesages, 7th Legion, Allianceīoralus (pronounced 'bohr-AH-luhs') is the capital and largest city of the island kingdom of Kul Tiras.
