Tirisfal was the third starting zone I ever saw, after Elwynn and Dun Morogh, and it left the strongest impression on me. It’s quite pretty, in a spooky sort of way, and the mood is both pervasive and affecting. I remember starting an undead warlock in my first days of WoW and watching Brill appear in the distance as I walked down the road; it’s hard to explain the feeling, but it was like a beacon of meager comfort in the confusing and otherwise comfortless existence of my newly-awakened Forsaken. The NPCs were mostly brusque and unfeeling, extending few words of genuine sympathy, and yet there was a sense of camaraderie, as well; they’d all gone through it before, too, and one day, I’d be like them. We all shared the same curse, but we were all going to find strength and unity in it.

After reading all that I was all set for taking out my newly created but never played Forsaken Warlock out for her first forays into Darkshire, yet then you reminded me it’s Hallow’s End and therefore my Priest may have things she wants to do.

Tirisfal is one of my favorite starting zones as well (and I also have a long standing love of Duskwood) for the same reason. It manages to be gritty and real, but also visually well put together. The atmosphere just works for the forsaken, and I love it.

There’s a reason I’ve stated that Tirisfal is my favorite starting zone. And that’s it, exactly. The mood that resonates throughout is in stark contrast to the quests and the way the NPCs talk. Their defiance in the face of the doom & gloom is what appealed to me when I first created my rogue and what causes me to keep re-rolling Undead characters.
