Duskwood
[Established Lore] What the game has always held to be true.
Level 18-30 - Eastern Kingdoms
Region: Eastern Kingdoms
Level Range: 18-30
Control: Alliance
Overview
Duskwood is a dark, gloomy forest west of Deadwind Pass. Stormwind has largely forsaken it, and its people have to rely on the Night Watch. Undead rise from the graves, worgen prowl the woods, and spiders hang from the trees. [Game · Zone: Duskwood]
Darkshire
Darkshire is the main town. Lord Ebonlocke is the mayor, and the Night Watch was formed because Stormwind left Duskwood alone when the dark magic seeped into the land. [Game · Quest: The Night Watch] [Game · Quest: Messenger to Darkshire]
Raven Hill
Raven Hill Cemetery is the great graveyard of the forest. The Valor family and others are buried here. Undead walk at night. [Game · Quest: Raven Hill] [Game · Quest: The Weathered Grave]
Sirra Von'Indi in Darkshire sends travelers to Raven Hill and beyond, for the relics of a lost family: Grant's Shield, Silvia's Sword, Ira's Dagger and Merrick's Bow. [New in Forever] [Game · Quest: The Valor Family] [Game · Quest: Grant's Shield] [Game · Quest: Silvia's Sword] [Game · Quest: Ira's Dagger] [Game · Quest: Merrick's Bow]
The Worgen and the Wolves
The worgen of Duskwood are no myth. The people of Darkshire fear them, and ask newcomers to hunt them. [Game · Quest: Wolves at Our Heels] [Game · Quest: Worgen in the Woods]
Stalvan Mistmantle
The Legend of Stalvan is Duskwood's great ghost story, a tale of a man who haunts the forest. [Game · Quest: The Legend of Stalvan]
