That's great info, thanks! Yeah I knew .mpqs were just a typical file system with a hierarchy. I didn't know that WoW textures were just a BLP that could be replaced.
How can the load order between two named files be specified? Also, how can specific textures be found, in the immense repository of textures in the game? Say I wanted to find the roof of the Org bank, for a random example. Is it a matter of digging through the various .mpqs in ~/data?

There is a instance of Kalimdor defined in .WDT file
The WDT points to .ADT files that are terrain data which also holds buildigns in format of a .WMO and doodas in form of a .M2 (3D models)

Orgrimmar is a city thus .WMO and such has pointers to all textures it loads

Okay, so .ADT files contain geometry data. What exactly are .WDT files? And I'm assuming all of these WDTs for a specific continent are contained within a specific .mpq?

WDT is just a table that says if there are ADTs present for some region
