Every one of these columns holds 0 in this row: team, liquid_type. This realm's source has no named constant for any of them, so they are named by column and left at that.
`area_template` carries no patch column on this realm: 1,081 rows for 1,081 entries, so this page answers from the one row that exists and is not choosing between copies. Where a related table is patch-versioned -- the quest table, `map_template`, the graveyard rows -- this site takes the newest row it can see, and the map row above came from the newest `patch` row in this realm's own `map_template` (patch 0). Neither number says which patch this realm runs: the daemon's own load queries add a bound against a number only the running server holds.
Where this area sits
This realm files the row under Arathi Highlands (area 45), its own `zone_id` column; the name comes from the same table, not from a list this site carries.
The realm's own `map_template` names map 0 “Eastern Kingdoms”.
Quests set in this area
No row of this realm's quest table names this area in `ZoneOrSort`. That is the realm's own filing: quests are attached to a zone id, and a sub-area that no quest names has none, which is not the same as the realm having no quests.
The weather this daemon rolls here
This area has no weather row of its own. The daemon rolls weather per zone id -- it looks the zone up as an area entry and then asks for that zone's weather (`Player.cpp:6590-6602`) -- and every one of this realm's 33 weather rows is keyed to a zone, none to a sub-area. The row below is the one filed under Arathi Highlands (area 45).
| Season | Rain | Snow | Storm |
|---|---|---|---|
| spring | 23 | 0 | 0 |
| summer | 15 | 0 | 0 |
| fall | 23 | 0 | 0 |
| winter | 23 | 0 | 0 |
These are the stored chances, one row per season, in the daemon's own column names. They are not measurements: the daemon reads exactly these columns (`Weather.cpp:451`) and compares rain, then rain+snow, then rain+snow+storm against a single draw of 1 to 100 (`Weather.cpp:172-181`), so a 25 is one chance in a hundred of that daemon's own random draw.
Resurrections
No graveyard row in this realm names this area as its ghost zone. The realm's table holds 199 rows for other zones, so this is the realm's filing and not a missing table.
Spells the realm restricts to this area
This realm's `spell_area` table has no row for this area.
Fishing and bound items
4 rows of `fishing_loot_template` are filed under this area id -- the key's meaning in the daemon's own words, from its registration line `LootStore LootTemplates_Fishing("fishing_loot_template", "area id", true)` (`LootMgr.cpp:46`). What each row drops is the item page's job, and this site does not link an item it has not read.
No item in this realm's item table names this area in `area_bound`; an item that is bound nowhere stores 0 there. The realm binds 31 items to some area, and none of them is this one.
Where this realm starts a character
No row of this realm's `playercreateinfo` starts a character in this area. The realm has 40 such rows for other zones, so this is the realm's own choice of starting places.
