The Ghostlands (alternatively and once known as the Blackened WoodsTemplate:Cite) is a level 10-20 zone that was implemented in the Burning Crusade expansion. Currently, parts of the zone appears on the world map north of the Eastern Plaguelands. It borders on Eversong Woods in the north, and is the location of the forest troll instance Zul'Aman.

Little is known of this shadowy region of Quel'Thalas. The blood elves applied the scorched earth policy to these woodlands, effectively giving the Scourge as pyrrhic a victory as possible. It is likely that vengeful phantoms of the battles with the Scourge and a majority of the undead remnants left over from the invasion of Quel'Thalas still linger here...as well as one of the most vile traitors to the elven people.

History

According to Warcraft RPG: Lands of Conflict, the high elves first landed in the Ghostlands (also known as the Blackened Woods), southwest of Silvermoon and north of Stratholme. Their fleet landed on the beaches of the kingdom men would later call Lordaeron. Forging inland, the high elves founded a settlement within the tranquil Tirisfal Glades. After a few years, many of them began to go mad. It was theorized that something evil slept beneath that particular part of the world, but the rumors were never proven to be true. The high elves packed up their encampment and moved northward towards another land rich with ley energies.

Geography

Notes, tips, & additional info

  • Ghostlands has one of the highest level-gaps between adjacent zones with its southern border to the Eastern Plaguelands, a gap that jumps roughly 40 levels from 20 to 60. Another similar zone is Tirisfal Glades, which borders Western Plaguelands - a gap that jumps about the same level range, from 10 to 50. Once you feel that you're done with questing in Ghostlands you can continue by using the Orb of Translocation located in Silvermoon City in order to teleport yourself to the Undercity, from where you can go to the 20-30 zone Hillsbrad Foothills.
  • Ghostlands is the only Burning Crusade zone that has a flight path connecting it to an original World of Warcraft zone (Eastern Plaguelands).
