![]() ![]() ![]() Though their origins are unknown, the Rothides and the Forsaken wage a constant guerrilla war against each other. They appear to have been afflicted with the plague of undeath for their fur is gray and patchy, and their eyes yellow, rheumy and sick-looking. They have concerns with Dalaran's increased interest in the region.Ī gnoll band called the Rothides lives here as well. The Royal Apothecary Society, a Forsaken organization devoted to creating new toxins and alchemical substances, also has a strong presence here. The Forsaken have a special contingent known as the Deathguard, who wander through Silverpine on constant patrol. Forsaken resemble men and women, but their skin is a decayed gray and dead flesh shows in places. Some also take exception to the living, and so their list of allies is thin. As undead freed from the Lich King’s control they serve under Sylvanas Windrunner, waging war upon the Scourge in the hopes of destroying it. The Forsaken control Northern Silverpine Forest. Its fate lies in uncertain hands as the opposing factions vie for control of the strategically important woods. Since its fall, the forest has become occupied by the Forsaken, minions of Thule Ravenclaw, and the forces of Arugal. The plague began to affect the trees, making them pale and lifeless with disease. With Lordaeron destroyed, the wizards of Dalaran busy rebuilding their home and the citizens of Gilneas having locked themselves away behind the Greymane Wall, no one was left to take care of the forest. The forces of the Lich King invaded the woods, setting fire to the crops and massacring its people. The Alliance once kept Silverpine Forest pristine and beautiful, at a time when the forest resembled the Hinterlands far to the east.ĭuring the Third War, the forest was affected by the plague of undeath. It is the edge of the Forsaken homeland, and the southernmost point where effects of the undead plague can be seen in the plant life. Silverpine Forest frequently sees battle, as Alliance forces from Southshore journey to the forsaken woods to attack the Sepulcher or enter Shadowfang. Arugal makes his home in the nearby darkened towers of Shadowfang Keep. In the southwest lays Pyrewood Village, whose people have fallen under archmage Arugal's curse, transforming into bloodthirsty worgen at night-time. Rothide gnolls operate from the mysterious Fenris Isle, and fiercely attack anyone who dares approach their dealings. ![]() Though the territory belongs to the Forsaken, their claim is disputed by the wizards of Dalaran and agents of the Scourge who have taken possession of some of the ruined fields and steadings. Lordamere Lake serves as Silverpine's eastern border. Gilneas and the Hillsbrad Foothills border the forest to the south, while Tirisfal Glades lays to the north. Dalaran sends frequent expeditions into Silverpine to defend these people and study the undead plague and worgen curse - a mysterious affliction that causes its victims to transform into bloodthirsty, lycanthropic worgen when the moon rises. What remains of the human population retains control of the southern forest, but they are desperate and their forces thinly stretched. Forsaken control the northern forest and constantly clash with the wretched Rot Hide gnolls. Now the place is shrouded in ghostly mists. The Alliance once protected Silverpine Forest when it was verdant and lively. This woodland is haunted and wild, characterized by its tall, silver-barked pines towering over grassy knolls. Dilapidated farmsteads and abandoned mines dot the land, home now to the darker denizens of the woods. Mossy overhangs shiver in the cold breeze, and the trees are all sickly or dying. The forest is eerily silent save for the occasional unnatural howling echoing among the trees. The land ranges from fairly flat to hilly, and is nestled among even taller mountains. Silverpine Forest, or simply Silverpine, is a vast, ancient wood that runs along Lordaeron's rugged western coast. ![]() This includes items and quests that can no longer be obtained or are now deprecated.įor the lore of the zone and its status after the Cataclysm, see Silverpine Forest. ![]()
