Azuremyst Isle is one of the two main islands that make up the Azuremyst Isles. Remaining mostly untouched by sapient races until recently, the land has changed a great deal due to the recent crash of a draenei inter-dimensional generation ship. Powerful and ominous crystals dot the lands, and energy storms ripple through the sky. The draenei capital city, the Exodar, is built around their crashed ship in the western part of Azuremyst Isle.

Evidence that parts of the crashed ship are tainting and mutating the natural flora and fauna of the island has become apparent. The draenei are working to halt and if possible reverse these mutations as soon as possible, to restore the natural beauty and health of the island.

Very little history is known of Azuremyst Isle and the surrounding islands. The night elves once populated the isles in large numbers. Ancient night elven ruins predating the Great Sundering are found scattered about both Azuremyst and Bloodmyst, most of them now inhabited by vile naga. The remains of an elvish city can be seen at what is now Wrathscale Point on southwestern Azuremyst. When the draenei arrived, the night elves had mostly abandoned these islands in favor of mainland Kalimdor. On the southern Silvermyst Isle, a dock and house of night elf architecture marks the dwelling of a family of night elves who made their home here. This settlement was later destroyed by deranged moonkin and murlocs. Valaar's Berth is a small harbor operated by the night elves, connecting Azuremyst Isle to the mainland of Kalimdor.

Not visited often by the night elves and tauren of Kalimdor due to their out-of-the-way location, the isles' indigenous creatures have been left to their own devices over the centuries. Several tribes of furbolgs live on the island, including the Bristlelimb and the Stillpine. Due to being so far removed from their cousins in Kalimdor, some of these furbolgs have remained uncorrupted, though they have recently been driven out of their ancestral holdings. Owlbeasts inhabit the eastern Ammen Vale, as well as Silvermyst Isle. Siltfin murlocs inhabit the western shores of both Azuremyst and Silvermyst isles.

Arcane storms strike this peaceful area off the coast of Kalimdor. Evergreens and purple flowers cover the land. The island itself is divided into two parts by the Crystalbrook River, running north-south. The eastern, slightly smaller region is dubbed Ammen Vale, as it is sheltered by hills on all sides. To the southwest lies Silvermyst Isle, close enough to reach by swimming without difficulty, and small enough to be considered part of the main island.
