Azeroth
Azeroth is a demon whose name is first mentioned in ancient Syria. Some claim that he is the male correspondence to Ashtaroth, other claim that the two are the same god.
In the computer game series WarCraft, Azeroth has mulitple meanings. In its most common sense, Azeroth is a mostly-peaceful human kingdom that is invaded by the Orcss, savage beings from another plane of existence. Although players could play the role of a human general and defeat the orcs, according to the story continuity established in Warcraft II and Warcraft III, Azeroth is unable to fend off the Orcish Hordes and is conquered. Refugees flee to the neighboring Kingdom of Lordaeron, the setting of Warcraft II, and portions of Warcraft III.
Furthermore, Azeroth also refers to the continent which the human kingdom of the same name occupies, as well as the planet in the Warcraft Universe the above are located in.
Locales in Azeroth are featured in the upcoming MMORPG World of Warcraft.
