Velen NA US
Velen is a connected realm in the North American region for retail World of Warcraft. This server is connected to Andorhal, Black Dragonflight, Eonar, Gul’dan, Scilla, Skullcrusher, Ursin, and Zuluhed.
An important thing to remember when looking at connected realms is that the Approximate Population data, Majority Faction, and Faction Split are for all of the realms in the connected realm group. In essence, connected realms function as one large realm. Because of this, it is a more accurate representation of the population levels you will experience to show the data for the connected realm group.
