Hi all! I've been running Shackled City in Azeroth, the world of Warcraft. So far I've had to make a few flavor conversions, but not too many. I thought I'd post them here for others who are interested in setting Cauldron in Azeroth.
1. My Cauldron sits on the border of Elwynn Forest and the Redridge Mountains in Azeroth. It's a strange little city that holds remnants of both Horde and Alliance forces. To the west lies Stormwind Keep, a human bastion whose military keeps the Forest mostly safe. To the east is the Blackrock orc settlement of Stonewatch Keep, and the area is rather more dangerous. Deadwind Pass sits to the north, a gateway to the twisted lands of Duskwood and the Swamp of Sorrows.
2. I replaced the temple to St. Cuthbert with a Church of the Holy Light. The temple to Wee Jas is now a Forsaken stronghold and branch of the Royal Apothecary Society. Vortimax Weer (of Weer's Elixers) is now a sinister Forsaken apothecarist who leads the R.A.S.
3. I replaced the Church of Pelor with a small bastion of Knights of the Silver Hand, several of whom have suffered "accidental" deaths (really they were murdered at the behest of Vortimax). The Knights of the Silver Hand are (rightly) suspicious of Weer and the R.A.S., leading to their assassinations.
4. The Church of Kord is now a tauren lodge where shamans lead any interested members in sacred rituals to bring peace, strength, and prosperity to Cauldron.
5. I replaced all the hobgoblins in "Life's Bazaar" with orcs. All the half-orc mercenaries are now full blooded orcs as well.
6. I created a background for the dark creepers/stalkers; they once were demons of the Burning Legion who somehow became infected with the Scourge. They did not become undead, but gained powers over shadow and stealth and lost their demonic abilities. No longer able to survive in the Twisting Nether, they scrounge about under the surface of the world, eking out a miserable existence.
7. The goblins in the Malachite Fortress and those who serve Dratkthar are "savage goblins" who were born into slavery in non-Horde orc tribes that live under the ground. They are not intelligent and talented like their surface brethern.
That's as far as I've had to go. I'll post more conversions as I make them.

Ughhh...WoW is taking over SCAP now too?
I guess Adimarchus could easily be a member of the Burning Legion. Are there beholders in WoW???
There are now. :-D
