Mount Hyjal is the aftermath of Archimonde's defeat and leads into Darkwhisper Gorge; Shen'dralas connects the Shen'dralar, Eldre'Thalas, Dire Maul and the centaur tribes; Riverglades is a frontier trade zone; Zephras Isle is the elemental Skyborne starting experience.
Classic areas below use historical Classic level bands from Warcraft Wiki as a planning baseline. Forever guides retain these familiar zones and add new quests, but Blizzard has not published a complete Forever range table. The baseline is a reference for choosing a destination, not a measured Forever route or an entry-level requirement; Deadwind Pass and Moonglade are not continuous questing routes.
