WoW Forever starting-area notes
Blizzard says the original starting areas are still where non-Skyborne characters begin, and that those areas now carry extra quests. The extra quests are not listed in the public pages used here.
Questions these notes answer
Did WoW Forever change the starting zones?
Blizzard says starting areas gain NPCs, quests, profession hooks, recipes, and small moments. The new quest names are not in that recap.
Where do Skyborne start, if not in those areas?
Skyborne start on Zephras Isle, levels 1–12. That is the explicit exception.
The published change
Blizzard text Blizzard says that whether you begin in the Valley of Trials, Shadowglen, or another starting area, Forever adds NPCs, quests, profession hooks, recipes, and small moments beside the original experience. The additions are meant to sit with classic memories, not replace the fact of those places.
Not sourced The recap names two examples and does not assign every race to a start. This atlas does not fill that table from classic memory. Skyborne are the exception that is explicit: they begin on Zephras Isle.
