Eastern Kingdoms
Riverglades overview for the mid-30s to mid-40s
A new Eastern Kingdoms frontier for the broad middle of the 30s and 40s. Travel into the zone is sourced. A quest-by-quest route is not.
Questions these notes answer
What level is the Riverglades in WoW Forever?
Blizzard says much of the mid-30s to mid-40s and does not print exact endpoints. A wiki infobox says 35–45. That number is the wiki’s, not Blizzard’s.
How do you get to the Riverglades?
Blizzard names a Steamwheedle route from Tanaris to Powderfuse Port. The wiki also lists on-foot approaches from Redridge, the Badlands, the Swamp of Sorrows, and the Burning Steppes.
How many Riverglades quests are there?
One Blizzard article says more than 150. An earlier one says nearly 200. Both stay on the page. Neither article is a quest list.
Level and quest count
Blizzard text The launch article and the What's Next recap say the Riverglades has more than 150 new quests across much of the mid-30s to mid-40s. The Found Photos recap, written earlier, says nearly 200 quests for Horde and Alliance players and compares the zone's size to Stranglethorn Vale. Both sentences are official. The later article does not say it is correcting the earlier count, so both stay on the page.
Where it sits
Blizzard text Blizzard describes a frontier of rivers, grasslands, trade routes, struggling communities, and old grudges. It connects to the Burning Steppes, Redridge Mountains, the Swamp of Sorrows, and the Badlands, on ground that used to be out of reach. Powderfuse Port is the port on the Steamwheedle route from Tanaris. The peoples and groups named in the recap are gnolls, ogres, the Powderfuse goblins, the Twilight's Hammer, and the Brotherhood of the Horse.
Blizzard text Krol'dok Stronghold is the dungeon in the zone, levels 40–45, five players. Ogre outrunners kidnap travelers. The article mentions chanting in the stronghold after nightfall and does not give the path from the port to the door.
Ways in, from the wiki page
Wiki list The wiki's Forever section is still a stub. It does say, in that stub, that Sunnyglade is in ruins and held by the Twilight's Hammer, that the Brotherhood of the Horse is still trying to reclaim its lands, and that the Bolder'ok ogres have left the Twilight's Hammer and allied with the Horde. That is a situation sketch, not a quest order. The page was edited 27 October 2026.
- Boat: Powderfuse Port to Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris. This matches Blizzard's Steamwheedle route.
- Redridge Mountains: on foot, west of the Bristle Hills through Blackrock Pass, or through Redridge Pass south of the Bristle Hills.
- Badlands: on foot, north of Twilight's Shroud.
- Swamp of Sorrows: on foot through Redridge Pass south of the Bristle Hills, or by swimming south of Wheeler's Grange.
- Burning Steppes: on foot, west of the Bristle Hills and then north through Blackrock Pass.
- Flight-path headings exist for Farholde Keep and Rog'mar. The retrieved page does not list the destinations. They are not invented.
- Farholde Keep is the Brotherhood of the Horse's fortified settlement in the wiki history. Rog'mar is a major settlement and a flight heading. The page does not state a faction owner for the Rog'mar flight master in the text that was retrieved.
Wiki list Place names on that page, listed as geography and not as a circuit: Ashwood's Fall, Bolder'ok, Bristle Hills, Eastwind Shore, Elbrim's Farm, Farholde Keep, Forlorn Pit, Krol'dok Stronghold, Meadowsbrook, Powderfuse Port, Rog'mar, Southern Watch, Sunnyglade, Terral's Watch, Turner's Logging Camp, Twilight's Shroud, Wheeler's Grange, and Windstead. The infobox also names Demar Brant as a ruler. Level numbers printed beside Redridge, the Badlands, and the other neighbors are old-looking bands and are not repeated as Forever levels.
