Tirisfal Glades Leveling Guide (WoW: Forever): Deathknell to Silverpine, Quest Order 1–12

Tirisfal Glades is where the Forsaken wake up in World of Warcraft: Forever, and it has changed more than most starting zones. The far west of the map – blocked off in Classic – is now the Whispering Forest and Shadowvale, home to Bandarion Keep and the new Undead Paladins. Brill has a batch of new quests, the Argent Dawn shows up outside the Undercity, and there's a new elite abomination to watch out for. Here's an efficient route from level 1 to about 12.

This guide is for Horde Undead starting in Deathknell, including Undead Paladins, the Horde's only Paladins in Forever. It's checked against World of Warcraft: Forever as live on November 11, 2026. Note that Tirisfal's map changed in Forever, so coordinates from Classic-era guides can be off.

Quick overview

Flight path: the zone's only flight master is in the Undercity – Brill has none. Zeppelins to Orgrimmar and Grom'gol leave from the towers between Brill and the Undercity. Next zone: Silverpine Forest at 10–12.

Deathknell (1–6)

1. Rude Awakening from Undertaker Mordo (/way 30.2 71.7Copy) sends you to Shadow Priest Sarvis (/way 30.8 66.2Copy) for The Mindless Ones and Rattling the Rattlecages. Novice Elreth next to him has The Damned and Marla's Last Wish – which now lets you pick a profession book as the reward.
2. Scavenging Deathknell from Deathguard Saltain, then Night Web's Hollow from Executor Arren (/way 32.2 66.0Copy).
3. A Light in the Darkness (new, all Horde). Aramis Hammerhand in the Deathknell church (/way 31.1 66.4Copy) asks you to free 6 Webbed Victims in Night Web's Hollow – do it alongside Arren's spider quest.
4. The Scarlet Crusade → The Red Messenger → Vital Intelligence, which you turn in to Executor Zygand in Brill.
5. The Adventurer (new). Executor Arren sends you to Eleanor Shackleton's camp outside Brill – the start of camping.

Undead Paladins: your first class quests run through Aramis Hammerhand – A Difficult Path, then Rediscovering the Light (heal 5 Injured Deathguard with Holy Light) – and end with Continue Your Training, which points you to Shari Stilwell in Brill. The healing bug in Rediscovering the Light was fixed on November 6; our Rediscovering the Light guide has the details.

Road to Brill and Brill (5–9)

1. A Rogue's Deal from Calvin Montague and Gordo's Task from Gordo on the road east.
2. Set your hearthstone in Brill and pick up A New Plague, A Putrid Task and Doom Weed.
3. New Brill quests: Discipline (punish 5 Deathguards with the Executor's Motivator) and Patience (collect reports from Dillinger, Kristof and Gordo) from Executor Zygand (/way 60.6 51.8Copy), and Sticks and Bones – 6 Dry Branches for Eleanor Shackleton, rewarding a Collecting Basket bag. Don't skip the bag.
4. Camping: The Great Outdoors at Eleanor Shackleton's camp just south-west of Brill (/way 57.3 55.5Copy). If the /sit objective won't complete, see our Great Outdoors fix.
5. Solliden Farmstead loop: Fields of Grief, At War With the Scarlet Crusade and Proof of Demise.
6. Seeking Refuge (new escort). Bareth Dawnstone waits on top of the Crusader's Outpost (/way 32.0 46.4Copy). Escort him out, then report to Shari Stilwell in Brill.
7. The Chill of Death, Graverobbers, The Mills Overrun and the second part of A New Plague.

Undercity trip (8–10)

Run The Prodigal Lich, Return the Book and Forsaken Duties into the Undercity and back to Deathguard Linnea outside the entrance (/way 65.5 60.3Copy). Pick up Rear Guard Patrol from her while you're there, and grab the Undercity flight path.

Brill again and Shadowvale (9–11)

1. At War With the Scarlet Crusade part 2, The Haunted Mills, Deaths in the Family and WANTED: Maggot Eye.
2. That Shadowvale Green Elixir (new): 8 Bottles of Whispering Elixir from Shadowvale for Carolai Anise in Brill.
3. Tomb Weed (new): after Doom Weed, Junior Apothecary Holland at the Brill graveyard (/way 57.7 49.0Copy) wants 5 Tomb Weed.
4. Hides for the Forsaken (new): Duskbat wings, darkhound hides and murloc skins for Shelene Rhobart outside the Undercity – pick your armor reward.

Whispering Forest and Bandarion Keep (8–12)

The new west of Tirisfal is the Undead Paladin home base, but several quests here are open to every Undead.

• Undead Paladins: A Second Home from Shari Stilwell in Brill (level 8) sends you to Bandarion Keep, on the bluffs north-west of Solliden Farmstead. Murlocs at the Gates clears the Vile Fin murlocs outside, and Touring the Grounds introduces the keep's leaders, ending upstairs with Danitha Morr. At 12 she starts the Redemption chain – see our Paladin Redemption guide.
• Every Undead: As Above, So Below from Hilda the Breaker (bones from the Shadowvale cellar) and The One That Got Away from the keep's stable master.

The Argent Dawn and the east (10–13)

1. The Argent Emissary (new, level 10+) from Deathguard Terrence in Brill sends you to Hadric Harlson near the Undercity entrance. His The Cult of the Damned and Remnants of War give Argent Dawn reputation and lead on to Bandarion Keep and A Righteous Cause.
2. East side: the later parts of At War With the Scarlet Crusade and A New Plague, Proving Allegiance at Gunther's Retreat, The Dormant Shade and The Family Crypt at the Agamand Mills crypt.

Elites and quests to skip

• Riptear (Rear Guard Patrol part 2): a new level 13 elite abomination in Venomweb Vale with an aura of rot damage. Group up or skip it solo. If you plan to do the Ruins of Lordaeron, note that Riptear's Heart is needed for The Wrath of Rath'mael – see our Ruins of Lordaeron prerequisites guide.
• Ruins of Lordaeron dungeon quests are for level 15–22.
• The Family Crypt and Proving Allegiance are level 12–13 – leave them if you're behind.

Where to go next

At 10–12, take Delivery to Silverpine Forest from Apothecary Johaan in Brill and head south to the Sepulcher. Our Escorting Erland guide covers the first tricky quest there. The Barrens by zeppelin from Orgrimmar is the alternative. All our WoW: Forever zone routes and quest fixes are on the WoW: Forever quests page.
