Exodar The Exodar is the enchanted capital city of the draenei who chose to depart from Draenor . Formerly a dimensional ship satellite structure of the dimensional fortress known as Tempest Keep , it recently crashed on Azeroth . It is located in the westernmost part of Azuremyst Isle . The faction associated with the city , Exodar , is named after the ship itself . History . " The Exodar ' s " history is a short one , beginning with its departure from Draenor and its short journey through the Twisting Nether to Azeroth . At some point before the present , the naaru arrived in the realm of Outland with a " dimensional fortress " known as Tempest Keep . The naaru dispersed throughout the ravaged world , leaving the fortress defenseless . Seeing an opportunity to strike , Kael ' thas Sunstrider and his many blood elf legions assaulted Tempest Keep and captured it , taking possession of its treasures and kidnapping the sole naaru occupant , M ' uru , sending him back to Silvermoon City for the magisters to utilize in their thirst for magic . M ' uru then became corrupted into the void lord Entropius and is now a boss in the Sunwell Plateau . Velen , the courageous prophet who had led the draenei people since their exodus from Argus millennia before , had hid with the remainder of his people in the wake of the Legion - instigated orcish onslaught . With the Broken Farseer Nobundo , first of the draenei shaman , at his side , the Prophet personally led a raid on Tempest Keep to wrest control of one of its satellite structures , " The Exodar " . The battle was so close that the enemy was able to board " The Exodar " before it could leave Outland . The fighting continued on board as the ship travelled in space . The blood elves , discovering what the draenei were planning , sabotaged the dimensional engines of the vessel . When the draenei activated it , the engine malfunctioned and sent " The Exodar " hurtling out of control through the Twisting Nether until it reached the closest habitable planet , Azeroth . The crippled ship screamed across the skies of Northern Kalimdor , crystals flying everywhere , until it crash - landed on a small island chain off the coast of Darkshore . The survivors took the islands as their new homeland , and set up their new capital in the largest intact portion of the still - smoking ship . The Exodar contains a large amount of technological wonders ( due to its origins lying within Tempest Keep ) such as magically enchanted " wires " which transport holy energy throughout the ship to power the various systems — heating and lighting — and fueling the draenei ' s already considerable powers . Areas . The Exodar is divided into four main areas , a large central hall with three major wings . All the wings are connected with smaller hallways as seen on the map . Entrances . The draenei and other Alliance players can access the city by using either a spiral ramp that leads to the heart of the Exodar from the main entrance , or another ramp down from the harbor - side entrance that leads into the Vault of Lights . The main entrance ramp has one extra sub - level where an inn is located . Also , the cooking trainer and supply vendors are located nearby at this small platform . The harbor side ramp is occasionally used by Horde players that attempt to raid the Exodar . In Cataclysm . Areas affected : Notable characters . The faction is named Exodar and is led by Prophet Velen , located near the battlemasters in the Vault of Lights . The naaru O ' ros can be found on the lowest level of the Seat of the Naaru . Farseer Nobundo , the Broken that accompanied the draenei out of Outland , is also present as a shaman trainer . Points of interest . Following points of interest are found in the Exodar :
