Overview
Quel'Thalas, the "Land of Eternal Spring", is a forested region in northern Lordaeron. The blood elves rule it from Silvermoon City in the northwest, while the forest trolls hold the southeast from their temple city of Atal'Aman. Its heart is the Sunwell on the Isle of Quel'Danas.
The region first became playable in The Burning Crusade as the blood elf starting area. In Midnight it returns, fully rebuilt, as the main setting: the Void, led by Xal'atath, invades Azeroth to seize the Sunwell, and players help unite the scattered elven peoples to push it back.
The Midnight zones
For once you get some choice in the order: after Eversong Woods you can do Zul'Aman or Harandar first, and the Voidstorm opens last.
| Zone | Levels | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Eversong Woods | 80-83 (its own page: 80-90) | Forest of eternal spring, now merged with the old Ghostlands; home of Silvermoon City |
| Isle of Quel'Danas | 80-83 | Island of the Sunwell and Magisters' Terrace; contested territory |
| Zul'Aman | 83-88 | Rainforest capital of the Amani trolls, rebuilt; its center Atal'Aman was the site of the old Zul'jin raid |
| Harandar | 83-88 | Glowing underground jungle where the roots of all World Trees meet; home of the Haranir |
| Voidstorm | 88-90 | A Void-soaked world (once Predacea) that is Xal'atath's base; Horde and Alliance have separate quest hubs |
Allies you meet
- In Zul'Aman you deal with Zul'jarra, the new leader of the Amani, and help solve the mystery of their missing loa gods.
- In Harandar you earn the trust of the reclusive Haranir, which unlocks them as a new allied race.
- In the Voidstorm you fight beside the void elves against Xal'atath's plans.
Dungeons and raids
Midnight launched with eight dungeons and a first raid of nine bosses split into three parts. Ten Delves and one challenge delve also came with the expansion.
| Type | Names |
|---|---|
| Dungeons | Windrunner Spire, Magisters' Terrace, Murder Row, Den of Nalorakk, Maisara Caverns, Blinding Vale, Nexus-Point Xenas, Voidscar Arena |
| Raid, part 1 | The Voidspire (6 bosses) |
| Raid, part 2 | The Dreamrift (1 boss) |
| Raid, part 3 | March on Quel'Danas (2 bosses), at the Sunwell Plateau |
Getting there
Your first visit is the Midnight intro: an instanced Isle of Quel'Danas under attack by Xal'atath's forces. Once that story ends, the open-world isle becomes free to visit, and the campaign keeps sending you back there until the March on Quel'Danas raid.
