| − | '''Eversong Woods''' (aka '''Eversong Forest'''){{cite|DF|153}} is a reclaimed section of [[Blackened Woods]] (formerly called Eversong Forest during the [[Second War]]).{{cite|ToD|207}} It is the [[starting zone]] for the [[blood elf]] race, introduced in the World of Warcraft's first [[Expansion|expansion set]] — [[The Burning Crusade]]. They are inaccessible to those without the expansion. Eversong is the location of [[Silvermoon]], arguably the largest and oldest surviving capital in the world of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. |

||
| − | [[Image:Sunspire-medium.png|thumb|The Sunspire]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Eversong Woods has historically been the home of the [[high elves]] of [[Quel'Thalas]], and has contained the heart of their empire for millennia. Although the woods have seen their share of battle between the elves and their nearest neighbors, the [[forest troll]]s, the region has retained a harmonic and peaceful feel. In the [[third war]], Eversong lay witness to the horrors that the [[death knight]] [[Arthas]] brought upon the land, and the forest has been permanently scarred by the death wrought by the hordes of undead. Countless elves were slaughtered, including their ranger general, [[Sylvanas Windrunner]]. After Arthas had passed north to the [[Sunwell Plateau]], the remnants of elves in the woods gathered under the banner of [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]] and were renamed as [[blood elves]]. Although Kael has ventured on to [[Outland]] in service of [[Illidan Stormrage]], [[Silvermoon]] and the surrounding woods remain in the hands of the blood elves. |

| − | == Geography == |
||
| − | The Eversong Woods stand in perpetual autumn with golden leaves falling from the trees. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As yet there are no dungeons of any kind and no battlegrounds in the Eversong Woods. However, there is 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 is a portal leading to an unknown instance, to be implemented sometime in the future. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The blight still spreads through Eversong Woods, but the Runestones located in the south prevent the blight from spreading any further. One Runestone though, has faltered and the blight has corrupted that Runestone. |

| − | Eversong Woods are home to several characters of note. At the Sunspire, [[Magistrix Erona]] welcomes new recruits of all creeds into action. At Falconwing Square, [[Aeldon Sunbrand]] attempts to cleanse the tainted presence of the pitiful Wretched. And at the Farstrider Enclave, [[Lieutenant Dawnrunner]] sends bold adventurers into the lands of the forest trolls in order to keep them at bay. |

||
| − | * Eversong Woods was previously part of the region known as 'Eversong Forest' during the Second War{{cite|ToD|207}}, what became the [[Blackened Woods]] (which includes Ghostlands and most of Eversong Woods). The northern area of this forest was changed to Eversong Woods during production of the [[Burning Crusade]] to avoid too many zones with 'Forest' in the name (Note [[Elwynn Forest]], [[Silverpine Forest]], and [[Terokkar Forest]]).{{fact}} However, Eversong Forest still exists in published lore. |
||
| − | * Eversong was the very first zone of the Burning Crusade that was created. It was first viewed by the public in the first official trailer. |
||
| − | * [[File:Icon-allakhazam-22x22.png]] [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/zone.html?wzone=111;mid=116810902242464112;num=0;page=1 allakhazam.com first look at Eversong Woods ] |
||
| − | * 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]]. |
||
| − | * 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 ground below not 20 yards away. |
