| − | '''Silverpine Forest''', or simply '''Silverpine''', is a vast, ancient wood that runs along [[Lordaeron|Lordaeron's]] rugged western coast. The land ranges from fairly flat to hilly, and is nestled among even taller mountains. The forest is eerily silent save for the occasional unnatural howling echoing among the trees. Mossy overhangs shiver in the cold breeze, and the trees are all sickly or dying. Dilapidated farmsteads and abandoned mines dot the land, home now to the darker denizens of the woods. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This woodland is haunted and wild, characterized by its tall, silver-barked pines towering over grassy knolls. The [[Alliance]] once protected Silverpine Forest when it was verdant and lively. Now the place is shrouded in ghostly mists. [[Forsaken]] control the northern forest and that region serves as the staging area for their armies that march into the besieged kingdom of Gilneas. What remains of the human population retains control of the southern forest, but they are desperate and their forces thinly stretched. Since the fall of the [[Greymane Wall]] and the spread of the worgen curse, the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]] has decided to strike back at the Forsaken after their first invasion now not only lurk the forest, but they also openly fight against their oppressors. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Gilneas]] and the [[Hillsbrad Foothills]] border the forest to the south, while [[Tirisfal Glades]] lays to the north. [[Lordamere Lake]] serves as Silverpine's eastern border.<ref name="Lands of Conflict 102-103">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. 102-103</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Though the territory belongs to the Forsaken, their claim is disputed by the wizards of Dalaran, [[Gilneas|Gilneans]] and the raised Gilnean noblemen that now have entrenched themselves along with the [[Scourge]] remnants in the [[Baron Silverlaine]]'s former fortress, the [[Shadowfang Keep]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is the edge of the Forsaken homeland, and the southernmost point where effects of the undead plague can be seen in the plant life. |
||

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | [[File:Silverpine Forest day.jpg|thumb]] |
||
| − | [[File:Silverpine Forest -night.jpg|thumb|Silverpine Forest at Night]] |
||
| − | The Alliance once kept Silverpine Forest pristine and beautiful, at a time when the forest resembled the [[Hinterlands]] far to the east. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the [[Third War]], the forest was affected by the plague of undeath. The forces of the [[Lich King]] invaded the woods, setting fire to the crops and massacring its people. With Lordaeron destroyed, the wizards of Dalaran busy rebuilding their home and the citizens of Gilneas having locked themselves away behind the [[Greymane Wall]], no one was left to take care of the forest. The plague began to affect the trees, making them pale and lifeless with disease. Since its fall, the forest has become occupied by the Forsaken, minions of [[Thule Ravenclaw]], and the forces of Arugal. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The Shattering=== |
||
| − | Since the defeat of Archmage Arugal and complete takeover of the forest by the [[Forsaken]], this region has been fairly silent until the new Warchief, [[Garrosh Hellscream]] has ordered the [[Forsaken]] to conquer [[Gilneas]] in order to establish a main oversea supply route to the continent of Lordaeron. The war has proved costly and the first invasion was repelled by the already ravaged and tattered by the effects of Arugal's tampering in a worgen curse kingdom. Since the Forsaken defeat, the Gilneas Liberation Front gained the upper hand in the conflict, and the worgen quickly began to wash over the forest, reaching even the distant lands near the Undercity in Tirifal Glades. The Forsaken had to use more reckless and experimental methods in order to win back their territory, such as using [[Val'kyr]], the former servants of the [[Lich King]], to raise the Gilnean noblemen: [[Vincent Godfrey|Godfrey]], [[Baron Ashbury|Ashbury]] and [[Lord Walden|Walden]], who did not accept the fact that their king became a half-man, half-beast. With their help, the Forsaken managed to drive off the worgen offensive back to Gilneas, but after the deed was done, Godfrey and his henchmen have assassinated [[Sylvanas]] and then fled to the abandoned fortress of [[Shadowfang Keep]]. Luckily for the Horde, Sylvanas was ressurected thanks to the power of her val'kyr servants. Now both [[Sylvanas]] and [[Ivar Bloodfang]] seek to eliminate the traitorous noblemen that now reside and plot behind the walls of Silverlaine's keep. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Geography== |
||
| − | Silverpine Forest is a vast, primeval wood that runs along Lordaeron’s rugged western coast. The land is fairly flat, but small hills, mossy overhangs and grassy knolls are common. Razed farms and vacant gold mines dot a land commonly described as "forsaken". Many wild and aggressive creatures roam through the trees. <ref name="Lands of Conflict 104">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. 104</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Silverpine Forest contains no raid dungeons or PvP areas. [[Shadowfang Keep]], the level 18-21 instanced dungeon, can be found here, as well as the former [[Non-instanced dungeons|micro dungeon]] [[Pyrewood Village]]. There are Horde-only travel hubs, such as [[Forsaken High Command]] or the [[Sepulcher]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The southern portion of the land is more dreary, and the terrain resembles that of Gilneas, rather than the rest of the forest, because of the close proximity to the kingdom's border. |
