Eversong Woods is a reclaimed section of the Eversong Forest in Quel'Thalas,[1] which lies in the northern part of Eastern Kingdoms. It is the location of Silvermoon City, the capital of the kingdom of Quel'Thalas. The blood elves have called the resplendent Eversong Woods home for millennia, but the stewardship of this forested region has not been without its perils. Bent on harnessing the elves' mystical Sunwell, Prince Arthas and the Scourge carved a path of destruction during the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas, leaving a tainted scar across Eversong Woods. As Quel'Thalas looks toward a new future, ensuring the safety and well-being of Eversong became a critical first step, and the elves have worked extensively to drive the lingering undead from their lands and cleanse the wounds of Arthas's assault.[2]
Eversong Woods was first introduced in The Burning Crusade expansion, as the starting zone for the blood elf players. This will remain separate from the new zone coming in Midnight that will be part of the Eastern Kingdoms map.

Geography
Eversong Woods stand in perpetual spring, with some elements of autumn, with golden leaves falling from the trees.
There are no dungeons of any kind and no battlegrounds in Eversong Woods. However, there was an unknown wooden gate at Tor'Watha, just as seen in the Ghostlands (leading to Zul'Aman) in the southeastern portion of the zone. It can be assumed this was a portal leading to an unknown instance, to be implemented sometime in the future, or it could have been the original entrance to Zul'Aman.
The blight still spreads through Eversong Woods, but the Runestones located in the south prevent the blight from spreading any further. One Runestone has faltered though, and the blight has corrupted it.

Notes and trivia
- Eversong Woods was the very first zone of the Burning Crusade that was created. It was first viewed by the public in the first official trailer.
- Eversong Woods is the only starting zone with more than one inn (excluding those inside a city), one in Falconwing Square and another in Fairbreeze Village.
- Even though Eversong Woods, Isle of Quel'Danas and Ghostlands are part of Eastern Kingdoms, flying is not enabled here. This is because these zones are on the same world server as Outland.
- It is not wise to travel further north into the North Sea from Silvermoon City, as one will "fall to their death" even though there appears to be ground below not 20 yards away.
