Zones

Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Forever’s new lands. Every region has its own page.

The 1–60 world

Forever is set in the early “Year 1” period of original Azeroth, before Kazzak reopened the Dark Portal. More than a thousand new quests are woven through Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. New regions include Mount Hyjal, the Riverglades, and Zephras Isle.

Travel and older zones

New ship routes include Stormwind Harbor to Auberdine, plus Menethil, Southshore, and Auberdine, and a Steamwheedle Cartel route from Tanaris to the Riverglades. Wetlands gains quests on existing threads. Desolace centaur faction quests get more content and rewards. Starting areas such as the Valley of Trials and Shadowglen add NPCs, quests, and profession hooks beside the original paths.
