This is the starting area for the Undead race. Characters start in Deathknell.

The Undercity, capital city to the Undead race, is located in the south-central part of the zone.

Comment by darkvirus

watch out for allys going to SM. Dont attack them. :P

Comment by kreghx

All Forsaken begin their un-lives in Tirisfal Glades. No race is more isolated than the Forsaken. Fighting not only against the Alliance forces but also the Undead Scourge held in ghastly thrall by the Lich King, few among even their allies in the Horde ranks would deem them trustworthy. Their presence is an aberration against nature, and their core motivations under the demon lord Verimathras are cloudy at best. Despite all the distrust, you'll note that many of the Forsaken simply wish to carry on their lives as before the Plague came; as you journey through Tirisfal Glades you'll see the twisted trappings of a humdrum existance. Apart from a few morbidly ambitious apothecaries, the Forsaken stance is predominantly defensive. In many ways, the Forsaken are two things they never wished to be: alive and alone. Yet, in defiance of their fate- an attitude reminiscent of the humans they once were, they carry on despite the circumstances. You can see why some have called World of Warcraft's Undead a roleplayer's dream come true. Map can be found here

Tirisfal Glades is a pretty shrouded area.
The Undead starting place.

Here you'll find a variety of things including the entrance to SM. (See: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/zone=796), The entrance to the great Undead city, The Undercity (See: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/zone=1497), Also, you can access Silver pine Forest (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/zone=130) And the plague ridden Western Plaguelands (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/zone=130).

I hope this guide has helped :)

Undead mounts are at Brill if u are undead you can buy one without rep with undercity, if you not then you need to be exalted with undercity.

Comment by 98371

My personal favorite starting zone. It should last you to level 12 at least if you do all the quests.

Comment by Tabris

The area west of Deathknell is suspected of being Tirisfal Grove where the High Elves first landed and where Krasus' Chamber is. Unfortunately there is no evidence to support this and no mention on whether it will be added in the near future if it is.

Comment by 84425

Tirisfal Glades is a dark, gloomy area inhabited by the dreaded Undeads. They've settled in nicely and taken their stead in the Undercity, as well as other towns in the area. Unfortunately, their wars are far from over. Though several Undeads were freed from the Lich King by Lady Sylvanas, the rest who succumbed must mindlessly battle until they're slain once more. Meanwhile, while fighting back the Scourge, a fanatic clan of Humans that call themselves "The Scarlet Crusade" have taken over several towers and a Monastery to the northeast. To make matters worse, the Scourge have taken over the Agamand Mills in the northwest, and also have taken the Gnolls into their ranks. There have even been Murloc sightings along the north beaches. Human farmers who survived the plague inhabit the farm in the west. And finally, even animals have begun to turn hostile. All these threats and the Forsaken still have time to brew up another plague.

Points of interest:
Deathknell- Where all new undead recruits awaken and begin their journey.
Brill- A village along the way with several quests for you to do, as well as a mount vendor.
Agamand Mills- Once the home of the rich Agamand family, the Mills became a base for the Scourge after the Agamands fell to their ranks.
Scarlet Monastery- A level 30-40 instance inhabited by the Scarlet Crusade as well as a few ghouls. Split into 4 segments: The Graveyard, The Library, The Armory, and The Cathedral.
Undercity- The capital city of the Forsaken, the Undercity has sewers of green goo that lead to different areas in the Tirisfal Glades, A portal that takes you to Silvermoon City, the capital of the Blood Elves, giant green corpse guards that have been stitched together- using spare body parts, and is the home of Lady Sylvanas, the banshee queen, and Lord Verimathras.

I dont no if its just me but when near, Balnir Farmstead, doing Rear Guard Patrol, i saw a (skull)?? tiger it looked like it was just roaming around, very werid!

Comment by 59139

In the graveyard near Brill there is a Crypt, you can open the doors, but there is a brick wall there, it may be a reference to a few stories and such, or blizzard was bored and lazy or had no ideas for there, or it may be an instance later..

If you have any idea what it is, please do post here.

And I apoligize for being off topic.

Comment by 156207

Why is there like one Gy?

Comment by Ghakor

The very tricky area called Night Web's Hollow in the North-western corner of Deathknell does not have to be discovered for the achievement, it is the small cave there. (Edited)

Jager - There is only one graveyard for Alliance, but multiple for Horde.

Comment by dreadblood

the background music for tirisfal glades is the same music you hear when your ghost running to your corpse... fitting no?

Comment by TheMaelstorm

I love Tirisfal Glades. First of all, my first character and the long-time main character were both undead, so I spent some time here (along with many other Forsaken characters). Other than that, I love the gloom and the tension. I mean, how many zones have eyes blinking in shrubs? Plus, you can find regular beast mobs and also Scarlet scum and Scourge wretches! It's just great!

Another thing I love about Tirisfal is that it's full with rares! It's really interesting for a low level to keep stumbling into rares.

Here is a list:
Lost Soul - Banshee with a curse!
Farmer Solliden - Farmer with a fearsome rake!
Tormented Spirit - Another Banshee with a curse!
Muad - Shaman Murloc with Dune... wait for it...
Deeb - ...reference! (The other Shaman Murloc)
Bayne - Hell of a fiendish dog with diabolic teeth!
Ressan the Needler - Bat with silence!
Fellicent's Shade - Ghost with various spells!
Sri'skulk - Spider with a deadly poison!

Comment by Elarieline

If you go to the back of foals rest you'll see a large grave with a tomb stone. I think (If I remeber correctly) It says:
Invincible

Horse of Arthas Menethil.

I have been there and sometimes i still go there if i wanna be alone,but i wanna ask-if a GM finds out somebody has been there would he bann him and why?

Comment by lockspwnbruh

This has to be my favorite place, i leveld my pally there ealier and i caught AT LEAST 4 unique rare spawns including bane, lost soul, farmer solliden, and ressen the needler and i ran into them again on the same day on the same character multiple times

NOTE for alliance players:
If you are exploring Tirisfal Glades for Achievement, you should need to know next:
1. dying anywhere on this map, will always send your soul in Faol's Rest, no matter where you died, undercity, deathknell, scarlet monastery instance, etc.
2. if you want to explore Undercity, safest way is to do it from sewers, coordinates are 51,71 on Tirisfal Glades Map. There are no guards in Sewers.

Comment by 261185

As of patch 3.3, previously hostile mobs in the starting area of Deathknell, such as the Scarlet Converts and Night Web Spiders are now neutral.

Comment by 488091

Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, TERRIBLY awful place to level.

Comment by 500472

I believe this area is somewhat inspired by, or at the very least has a similar name to Tristram from the Diablo series.

Comment by Thottbot

To see things in Undercity, a.k.a. ghosts and the like, you have to cast Detect Invisibility.

Comment by Thottbot

That area west of dathknell would likely be a new instance but might also be a means of travel to Northrend. They could develop a town there that hosts a portal to northrend or something similar.

If and When they do finish the area the most feasible entrance would be near that one pond you see on the map. Near there you can see a giant rock that looks like it doesn't belong. Once the blizzard finishes the area all that they have to do is remove the rock and the entrance would be there.

Comment by Thottbot

I believe your statement, but that doesn't mean that they don't have plans for the area in the future.

You can buy a coarse thread from vendors, and you wil probely not find them on monsters.

Undercity is verry close, go to it.
Probely a hell of a army of vendors in there.

Comment by Thottbot

Have any of you who are posting about the area to the west of Deathknell ever noticed how Silverpine Forest seems to connect to it?

Comment by Thottbot

Wtf is that area in the green way west on the map?I tried to get there and there is just mountains and no path.And there is nothing behind the greymane wall except some buildings.You can cast farsight from a shaman and see what is in there.

Comment by Thottbot

That blank on this map is supposed to be the resting place of an Old God(just like C'Thun).This will probley become an instance(or raid)soon in the next expansion.

The Old Gods casted down by the creators(told Sargeras to hunt down the demons).

Comment by Thottbot

There atleast 2 new raids involving the Old Gods...one involving the blank space west of Deathknell...and another in the emerald Dream.

Comment by Thottbot

One of the best starting zones. Has dense atmosphere and good story to it.

Comment by Thottbot

An awful area for a rogue like all the other old starting zones, can't wait for 12 i'm going to belfyland. They may have ruined the horde but their levelling zones are awesome.

Comment by Thottbot

loved this zone...maybe because i started there

Comment by Thottbot

Around cords 50, 55 or south of stillwater pond I found EIGHT silverleaf in a row. Tirisfal Glades is a herb overload.

Comment by Thottbot

thanks for thr RFD screenshots, really helpful when im trying to find a quest in tirisfal

Comment by Thottbot

Why when i come into the zone do i get a thing at the top of my screen saying alliance is in the sewers and i cant see anything else in the zone?

Comment by Thottbot

i heard that the west area of tirisfal glades is supposed to have like an old god imprisoned beneath there? or is it just a lie

Comment by Thottbot

I really hate this zone. I started wow with an Undead warlock, deleted it at lvl 5 because i couldn't stand the atmosphere in Tirisfal Glades. Switched to a night elf hunter :)

Comment by Allakhazam

alright seriously stop posting. For that matter, I can't call your text 'posting', it's more like spamming. People have already answered the question "Do only undead start here", so beans, stop posti.....spamming.

Comment by Allakhazam

Is this where Undead start?

Comment by Allakhazam

The secluded valley of Deathknell is where many of the rising Forsaken Undead emerge from what they thought was eternal rest. Those just awakening can run a short ways down the hill and to the town proper, or they can fight the Duskbats and Young Scavengers off the path and in the grass.

The town itself has seen better days. Although it's not fully overrun, the north part of town is filled Wretched Zombies and Mindless Zombies lumbering around town are a nuisance. They are brainless and lack combat initiative, so feel free to run between them without fear of aggression. Within certain buildings and wandering the borders of the town are Rattlecage Skeletons, also quite brainless but a bit more dangerous.

The south part of town is quite safe and dilligiently provides the recently risen with class training and tasks. The town also houses a weaponcrafter who sells weaponry and a mail armor merchant. The town's church and graveyard are important locations every adventurer should be aware of - most of the town's leadership congregates there.

Most beasts in Deathknell are docile, though there is a breed of aggressive spider in Night Web's Hollow. Along the road leading from the town to the gates of Deathknell are four notorious undead enemies that have somehow managed to set up a camp. The Scarlet Crusade, overzealous humans who refuse to give up the Lordaeron Region to any Undead (Scourge or otherwise), have sent a small regiment to Deathknell's hills. Note that Mevin Korgal, a lieutenant in the Scarlet Crusade, has been seen in the area.

Comment by Allakhazam

The town of Brill lies in wait for the risen dead coming from Deathknell, but is useful for many other types of adventurers as well. Herbalists and Alchemists can find resources and training inside an apothecary here, and there is also a large weapons and armor store next to a robust stable where the Undead can obtain their mounts. Across from the stables is Brill's City Hall, the inn, and a market area where general and trade supplies can be bought. Adventurers should be sure to look for quests in the apothecary, city hall, and inn, as well as outside on the path running through the city.

Much of Brill is a huge graveyard, the final resting place for the large numbers of those dead as a result of the scourge. Some of its former denizens may be offering work for adventurers. Keep an eye out for a huge lumbering abomination along the path from Deathknell to Brill for additional work.

A zeppelin tower lies between Brill and the Ruins of Lordaeron (Undercity), where travellers can board a flying machine to Durotar or Grom'Gol Outpost in Stranglethorn Vale.

Located about halfway down the road from Brill/Lordaeron/Undercity and The Bulwark at the entrance to the Western Plaguelands, the Balnir Farmstead is also overrun with the walking dead, specifically Bleeding Horrors and Wandering Spirits. Be warned, adventurers - these foes are known to assist each other in combat if the opportunity presents itself.

I was trying to do the quest to kill captain Vachon and the friars. I was wondering how far it was from the farms?

Comment by Allakhazam

Brightwater Lake lies slightly east of Brill, and is generally safe for fishermen seeking to catch what little still lives in the murky waters. A fishing trainer stands at the south end of the lake, and those seeking to train low-level fishing should do so there. Any further east, along the east edge of the lake, and adventurers will begin running into Cursed Darkhounds and Vampiric Duskbats. There are no monsters in the lake, but zombies have been sighted sulking about the islands in the center.

Comment by Allakhazam

Gunther is undead. He's not of the Scourge nor the Forsaken, yet he's of high value to both and the side to reach him first gains a powerful ally. He's isolated himself on this island and surrounded himself with Minions, Hungering Dead, and Shambling Horrors. Perhaps the lich can be befriended...?

Comment by Allakhazam

Garren haunts this place no more. Due north of Brill, the area opens with undead gnolls (Rot Hide Gnolls and Graverobbers) raiding graves for corpse parts. Further on north of the mass graves is the farm, which is overrun with Rot Hide Mongrels. Maggot Eye, their leader, currently has a bounty issued on his head. Adventurers should collect the bounty from Brill and then put an end to Maggot Eye's activities in the area.

It appears you have almost no info on this location; the Scarlet Monastery even though it has four instances and four major villains. The area surrounding it on the game maps is listed as Whipering Gardens within the Tirisfal Glades. Villains are High Inquisitor Whitemaine; Scarlet Commander Mograine; Herod, the Scarlet Champion and Houndmaster Loksey. The quest to slay them is "In the Name of the Light" and provides a large degree of experience for those completing it. Merlinowart

Comment by Allakhazam

The Scarlet Watch Post is located at the north end of the dirt path that winds, snakelike, through the hills and fields near the Scarlet Monastery. Isolated from most of the Tirisfal Glades, the most elite of the Scarlet Crusade active in greater Tirisfal dwells here. Adventurers hunting and questing in the area are strongly advised to avoid wandering near the post on their own unless they are very confident in their abilities.

A rather beastly area, the Venomweb Vale is home to Vampiric Duskbats and Ravenous Duskhounds as well as Vicious Nightweb Spiders. If visibility is high enough, this stretch of countryside can be quite a sight. - Dozens of spiders crawling in the grass. Do not be distracted by the eerieness for too long, however, as the unwary adventurer is a prime target for the carnivorous spiders of the area.

Populated by loathsome skeletons, zombies, and spirits, the dreary Agamand Mills (located at the north edge of the zone, northeast of Deathknell) are dangerous to those just starting out. The family in this region is paying the price for their errors in the prime of Lordaeron, and now wander their mills in a zombie-like stupor, among their risen ancestors and mysterious skeleton soldiers. The fringes of the area are patrolled by Rattlecage Soldiers and Darkeye Casters, as well as Cursed Darkhounds. Further in are much tougher enemies, namely Cracked Skull Soldiers and the Agamands.

Comment by Allakhazam

Though far from a manor, this small farm is supposedly still inhabited despite the presence of the undead in its field. Adventurers can practice tailoring with the trainers inside the cottage or help cull the scourge influx by killing the Rotting Dead and Ravaged Corpses that wander the fields just outside.

This is North East of Agamand Mill. You can follow the road down the hill to it.

Comment by Allakhazam

The Agamands all rose from this dank crypt, located in the northeast corner of the Agamand Mills. Inside, it is thick with Rotting Ancestors and Wailing Ancestors. Even experienced adventurers who have risen above all the other challenges of Tirisfal may have trouble hacking their way through the crypt, as fighting three undead at a time is not a rare occurrence in the crypt.

Located on a ridge overlooking the Balnir Farmstead, adventurers seeking to curb the influence of the Scarlet Crusade can get here by either attempting to scale the ridge or by traversing the Venomweb Vale. Both paths have their dangers. Once in the area, be aware of the presence of Scarlet Zealots and Friars, challenges in their own right, as well as the threat of Captain Vachon. A high-ranking Scarlet Crusader, Vachon personally sees to the extermination of any incursion on his outpost's property.

Located in Deathknell and surrounded by skittering spiderlings, the hollow houses a vast mine populated solely by archnids. Adventurers are advised to bring food, bandages, and large reserves of mana before venturing into the gloom of the mine. The Night Web Matriarch, a massive spider feared by even the Undead, dwells within the deepest recesses of the cave.

Nightmare Vale encompasses all of the forest in the southern part of Tirisfal Glades between Deathknell and the Ruins of Lordaeron (above the Undercity). The wildlife in this area consists of Decrepit Hounds and Greater Duskbats. Note the tower just west of the Ruins of Lordaeron. Here, the Scarlet Crusade has set up a base manned by Captain Perrine and his troops. Scarlet Zealots and Missionaries patrol the tower's grounds, and Captain Perrine himself dwells within the structure.

There is an entrance to the Undercity very close by the Scarlet Crusade tower utilized by the flying bats that transport travellers across the Eastern Kingdoms. Though mainly for this purpose, with some effort anyone can travel through the tunnels into the Undercity without need to travel into the Ruins of Lordaeron.

Comment by Allakhazam

The foolhardy human farmers who grasp onto a semblance of ordinary life in the ruined land of Lordaeron stand guard over their pumpkins, while the Scarlet Crusaders patrol the perimeter paths, armed to the teeth. In the forests near the farmstead (located north of Deathknell), Greater Duskbats and Decrepit Darkhounds can be found. Adventurers who decide to venture onto the grounds of the farmstead should be vigilant. Tirisfal Farmhands and Farmers are thick on the field, guarding their precious pumpkins. They are quite resilient and can be dangerous when in groups. There is a Scarlet Crusade guard tower to the northwest of the farm. Scarlet Warriors training to join the organization often come here for practice, and many are eager to add the vanquishing of nosy adventurers to their resumes.

Located in the forest just between the "split" in paths at the gates of Deathknell (the north split runs to Agamand Mills, the south to Brill), this pond has grown stagnant, most likely due to the zombies. Some say you can blame anything on zombies. Decrepit Darkhounds and Greater Duskbats roam the area, as well as decomposing yet still very physically active zombies.

A heavily fortified line of defense against the terrible dangers of the Plaguelands, The Bulwark lies right at the entrance to the dangerous area. Adventurers may prove of great use to the Argent Dawn troops who have established this bulwark, but only after they have proven themselves worthy in most of the world outside the Plaguelands. New adventurers still cutting their teeth should not venture into the dangerous lands under any circumstances, barring their untimely suicide.

Littered with rotting beached sea creatures and debris, the North Coast is thick with Murlocs. Many undead adventurers have been heard wailing as the fishy creatures have their way with them - wails that reach as far south as Brill. Bringing adequate protection and weaponry is advised, as the cold reaches of the North Coast are unforgiving.

Edited, Jan 22nd 2007 5:56am by Reinjin

Comment by Allakhazam

Located in the extreme northwest of the Tirisfal Glades, the Whispering Shore is arguably the closest any adventurer can get to the unforgiving continent of Northrend. Some say that, on the rare days when the pallid green air of Tirisfal briefly dissolves into a clear blue, the icy lands are visible from the shoreline. Most adventurers who visit, however, only see ancient stone ruins and hungry murlocs.

Tirisfal Glades

Tirisfal GladesUndercityLady Sylvanas WindrunnerScarlet MonasteryTrivia:

To the east of Tirisfal Glades is the much higher level zone Western Plaguelands. Players starting out in Tirisfal Glades are heavily advised to avoid the zone at all costs, lest they are killed by the so-called Welcome Bears, the high level bears that inhabit the border area in Western Plaguelands.

Being the main zone in Lordaeron, many events of Warcraft III happened here, including the assassination of King Terenas Menethil II by his son, Arthas. You can find the tomb of Arthas' horse, Invincible, in Tirisfal Glades.
