Eversong Woods storyline

Zone map

Eversong Woods is the blood elf starting zone, designed for levels 1-10. Much of the questing experience is dedicated to containing and repairing the damage done in the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas during the Third War, as well as dealing with the Wretched, Alliance spies, and Amani trolls.

Unlike many starting zones, which feature fairly directed questing experiences, there are many quest hubs scattered around Eversong Woods. Breadcrumb quests help players navigate the zone in an optimal order.

Falconwing Square and West Sanctum

Players arrive to Falconwing Square from Sunstrider Isle across the Ruins of Silvermoon.

Magister Jaronis starts:

1.  [1-30] Major Malfunction
2.  [1-30] Delivery to the North Sanctum
3.  [1-30] Malfunction at the West Sanctum
4.  [1-30] Arcane Instability

Standalone quest:  [1-30] The Dead Scar is offered by Ranger Jaela in the northernmost portion of The Dead Scar. It's not part of the Roadside Ambush quest chain, but she's most likely to be encountered as players travel from the apprentices to Instructor Antheol. In Classic, priests get    [5] Cleansing the Scar at the same general area.
