Chapter I
A World Frozen in Time
WoW: Forever is an invitation to take your first steps in a legendary world of untamed frontiers, warring factions, untold perils, and unseen mysteries.
The war against the Burning Legion is won. Archimonde has fallen at Hyjal, the Scourge festers in the north, and the Forsaken have claimed their kingdom. Forever begins here, after the events of Warcraft III: Reforged, before the Firelord ever stirs in Molten Core.
This is not the Azeroth that moved on. The developers call it a time bubble: its own continuity, sealed off from every expansion that came after. No flying. No level scaling. The cap stays at 60, and the world grows outward instead of upward.
Old roads lead to new places. Familiar zones like the Wetlands, Desolace and Tirisfal carry new stories, and more than a thousand new quests are scattered across the journey from 1 to 60.
Chapter II · A New Race
Children of the Wind
Long ago, Highborne exiles fled the fall of Eldre'Thalas and found refuge in Skywall, the realm of air. There they struck a pact with the wind spirits. They call themselves the shen'dorei. You will know them as the Skyborne.
Horde
Windshaper
Descendants of the first shen'dorei to receive the wind spirits' gift of skysight.
Druid · Hunter · Rogue · Shaman · Warrior
Alliance
High Order
The Alliance-sworn Skyborne, and the only ones of their kind who walk the path of the Mage.
Druid · Hunter · Mage · Rogue · Warrior
Now the elemental benefactors have vanished. Zephras is crumbling, and the Al'Aketh, a cult sworn to Al'Akir, want the isle cast down from the sky.
Chapter III
Heroes Never Seen
Forever breaks old rules. A Forsaken Paladin wielding the Light that once abandoned them. A Dwarf Shaman speaking to the stone of Khaz Modan. Race and class pairings that exist in no other version of WoW.
Nine new dungeons open along the way, from the Hall of Thanes to the Ruins of Lordaeron. New characters, new talents, same old danger.
Chapter IV · The Atlas
Undiscovered Vistas Await
Journey through an updated and expanded Azeroth dense with new stories and secrets hidden across familiar vistas and never-before-seen locales.
Lvl 1–12Homeland of the Skyborne
Zephras Isle
Once a secluded island oasis in the sky, Zephras Isle now welcomes the next generation of WoW's newest race, the Skyborne, to protect this floating island and secure its future.
- ◆An island adrift in Skywall, the Elemental Plane of Air, held aloft by wind spirits who once sheltered the shen'dorei.
- ◆Those elemental benefactors have vanished. Structures are failing, villages are cut off, and the Skyborne must learn why.
- ◆The Al'Aketh, a cult sworn to Al'Akir the Windlord, want Zephras torn from the sky.
Reached only by rolling a Skyborne.
