Ashenvale - the pristine pearl of Azeroth

Corruption inevitably captures all new territories, and it seems that there will never be salvation from it anywhere. But there are still picturesque and almost untouched corners in Azeroth, where the traveler can enjoy the virgin nature. Ashenwal, or Ashenvale (WoW), is such a place. The ancient wild forest is protected from Corruption by the dark elves, who chose this place as their home. All about this location you will learn in this review.

Geography

Located in the northern part of Azeroth, the Ashenvale forest became the actual center, because there are paths crossing in all important directions: the northern road will lead the traveler to Felwood (Damned Forest); Western - to the Dark Shores; Going to the south, you will get to the Barrens and Mountains of the stone claw; In the east are Durotar and Azshara. In the east, the forest is crossed by the river Falfaren. Astranaar, the capital of Ashenvale, is a large and rather numerous city populated by representatives of the alliance and dark elves.

This location is intended for players who have reached the 19-30 level. How to get to Ashenvale? The representative of the alliance comes here from the territory of the Dark Shores. Playing for the Horde can get here through the Mountains of Stone Claw and Steppe.

Main Locations

The western part of the forest is controlled by night elves and their allies. In addition to Astranaar, several quite large settlements of representatives of the Alliance are scattered throughout Ashenvale:

• Forest song is a location located east of the Satirnaar.
• The Renwood hideout is a huge tree in the center of the forest.
• Shelter Hideaway is a settlement located in the southern part of Ashenvale.
• Post Maestra - location in the north-west of Astranaar.
• Grove's Wing is the southern part of Ashenvale.
• Sanctuary of Assina - south-western location.

The settlements of the Horde are in most cases located in the eastern and southern parts, near Azshara and the Steppes. The largest of them are:

• The back of a split tree. This settlement of the Horde is located to the north-east of the Halls of the flamed flame.
• Post Zoram'Gar - location, located in the coastal strip Zoram. The most extreme western point of the forest.
• Kargat fortress - a settlement located in the east of Ashenvale, is the center of the Saw Song of the War.

Also, travelers can meet settlements that do not belong to either the Alliance or the Horde. In such places, the player usually does not expect anything good, because the inhabitants inhabiting them do not favor uninvited guests.

Who lives here?

The vast territory of the Ashenvale is a dense forest where the human foot has never set foot. The trees of Ashenval are old and huge, some of them are able to talk. The majority of the population refers to travelers with friendliness, but not to those who try to cut their way with an ax. In this case, the unlucky woodcutter will feel the full power of nature in his own skin. Dryads and custodians of groves, as well as numerous night elves inhabiting the thickets of the forest, are fairly well explained in the general language.

Dangerous inhabitants

But do not think that the Ashenvale is an absolutely safe place. In more often live quite dangerous Beorny. These bear-like creatures were distraught by the Fel that touched them, which made them excessively aggressive. Closer to the desecrated forest, you can meet guards and felhounds, and many other surviving demons. No less dangerous are the satyrs - descendants of the night elves, who were under the authority of the Burning Legion and continue to fulfill Sargares's will. These creatures torment the dryad and animals, desecrate the land and are the main enemies of travelers. In general, Ashenval is a fairly densely populated region. In these places live wolves and bears, spiders and black forest panthers, revived trees and dryads, demons, worgen, murlocs, marsh elementals and naga.

Special places

Ashenvale is an interesting location, full research of which will take quite a long time. In addition to settlements, Ashenwal is rich in special places, in which travelers are waited with unforgettable adventures. The most famous of them are:

• The lake is iris. A small location, located northeast of Astranaar. On the shore of this lake you can find Tears of Elune - stones that have medicinal properties. But this area is teeming with dangerous boggy creatures, which makes the search for artifacts quite unsafe.
• Blackfathom Deeps. Located in the northwest is an underwater dungeon, inhabited by the mages of the Twilight's Hammer clan, murlocs, naga, and satyrs.
• Sanctuary of the Fiery Cleft. The Burning Legion made this place the center of its activity. This location is vigilantly guarded by felhounds and terror guards.
• Valley Voya - an abandoned sanctuary, which became a shelter for worgen.
• Canyon of the Fallen Warrior. Gorge filled with poisonous fumes. At this point, the glorious leader of the Song of War clan died, fighting with the demon Mannoroth. In memory of a friend the leader of the horde erected an obelisk on the battlefield. According to rumors, some demons still live in this place.
• Howling valley. This location is located on the border of the northern side of Ashenvale. Once there was the sanctuary of Mel'Tandris, but now wolf-men have settled on its ruins. These mysterious creatures announce their screams all the surrounding area, because of what this location was called the Howling Valley.

Ashenvale is exactly the place, which will not leave indifferent any amateur adventures. Its originality and beauty will win the heart of any traveler, and quests and tasks will not give cause for boredom.
