King's Crest is a location within the Nexus.

There are no peasants in King's Crest. It is inhabited by lords and ladies.[1]

The realm came under attack by the forces of the Raven Lord,[2] who burnt it to the ground.[3]

Development[]

King's Crest was one of the first concepts Blizzard Entertainment did for the Nexus. It was designed to feel similar, yet different to the Warcraft setting. It features a heavy Medieval theme. With that established, the developers began developing the structures, minions, and mercenaries that would inhabit the area. As Blizzard fleshed the concept out, it was expanded; the docks became Blackheart's Bay[4] and the town became Dragon Shire.[5]

It was originally spelt "Kings Crest," but was later changed to "King's Crest."[6]
