| + | '''Icewing Pass''' is a canyon located on the [[Stormpike Guard]] side of [[Alterac Valley]]. It is immediately northwest of [[Icewing Bunker]] and it leads to [[Icewing Cavern]]. It is filled with [[Snowblind harpies]], and occasionally [[ram]]s. It has a fishable lake in the area near the main road, a long source of frustration for [[Alliance]] players due to some who fish here during the game and leech honor and reputation from the rest of the team. |

| − | '''Felwood''', aka '''Felwood Forest''', <ref name="Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 225">''[[Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 225</ref> <ref name="A&HC 70">''[[A&HC]]'', pg. 70</ref> <ref name="WoWRPG 362">''[[WoWRPG ]]'', pg. 362</ref> is a contested zone located north of [[Ashenvale]], east of [[Darkshore]], and west of [[Hyjal]] and [[Winterspring]]. It is a corrupted forest filled with tainted creatures of the woods, demonic [[satyr]] and [[infernal]]s, rotting [[treant]]s and [[ancient]]s, as well as the [[tauren]] and [[night elves]] who try to battle back the sickening of the land. It is also home to one of the two tribes of pure [[furbolg]]s left in the world — the [[Timbermaw]]. |
||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | [[File:Jadefire Run.jpg|thumb|Satyr encampment at Jadefire Run]] |
||
| − | This lush and vibrant land of woods and meadows was tended by the [[kaldorei]] and protected by {{npc||Cenarius}}. Bubbling streams ran through quiet, grassy meadows, and the summer sun was tempered by the whispering breeze and the cooling rain. The leafy corridors of the forest rang out with the music of songbirds. It was as close to a paradise as the world has ever known. Then the [[Burning Legion]] befouled the land using The Skull of Gul'dan. Any trees and creatures that escaped the outright destruction became forever cursed in the demons' rampage. Known to have felt the cursed touch of the Burning Legion, Felwood is an eerie, dark, and haunted region of scattered gloomy woodlands and tainted vales, all of it teeming with evil. The meadows of Felwood retain the sickly, charred look they took on when the demons cursed the land during the third war. Nothing grows there. The mighty ancients that once guarded the land now roam blindly, their limbs twisted and their bark hides bleeding fel poisons. The once tranquil rivers and streams now boil with poison and noxious gases. |

||
| − | Felwood is a dismal and dangerous land to all who enter. Most cross into Felwood only out of necessity, for it lies directly along the road to [[Hyjal Summit]]. Armed travelers are usually safe if they pass along the main road by day, but they have no guarantee of safety if they leave the trail or if they venture into Felwood after nightfall. The night elves feel constant shame that they failed to protect this noble land. All their efforts to restore health to the woods and meadows through divine magic have failed. Despite the lingering curse of The Skull of Gul'Dan, the night elves refuse to cease in their efforts to lift it. Some think that the key to healing the blighted land lies with {{npc||Illidan Stormrage||Illidan}}, brother to the night elf hero {{npc||Malfurion Stormrage}}. Illidan was known to have consumed the {{item|The Skull of Gul'dan|Skull of Gul'dan}}, which also blighted the forest. Only powerful divine magic can likely save the land, however.<ref name="Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 200, 201">''[[Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 200, 201</ref> |

| − | == Geography == |
||
| − | Felwood has no villages or people of its own. It is home to no cities to speak of; the night elves fled the area thousands of years ago, and no one had found the ambition to settle in the cursed forest since. The land was a cursed relic, a danger to all within its bounds. Even creatures united in evil are not safe from the depredations of one another. Explosions and flashes of arcane brilliance erupt throughout Felwood as druids clash with the warlocks they have come to destroy. The ground shakes from the footsteps of accursed ancients who prowl in search of victims. Twisted [[furbolg]]s and [[satyr]]s range through Felwood in bloodthirsty packs, and savage beasts lie in wait for the unwary. Felwood is home to many beasts, with bears, wolves, and panthers the most numerous. As herbivores refuse to eat the cursed vegetation, the carnivores have turned to feeding on each other. Combined with the great curse, this development has created in each creature a brutal rage - a rage that the beasts turn on one another and any who dare to enter their territory. Cursed furbolgs roam the forest, looking for an end to their torment. They are hardy enough to survive drinking the cursed waters of [[Bloodvenom Falls]], but the water only increases their madness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cursed [[ancient]]s lurk near [[night elf]] ruins and will attack anyone they see. They are stronger than their healthy counterparts, empowered by evil. The ancients hold a special grudge against the night elves who abandoned them and will unleash special savagery upon anyone remotely resembling an elf. Satyrs dwell by tainted [[moon well]]s, their dark magics twisting Felwood’s curse ever deeper into the land. Rumors circulate that the shadowy satyrs work as scouts and assassins for the [[Shadow Council]] in [[Jaedenar]]. The undead [[Scourge]] and what demons survived the [[Third War]] have also made a home in Felwood. These recent arrivals have stirred the other residents into turmoil, making the region even more violent than before. Druids of the wild make forays into Felwood with the aid of elven rangers, hunting down the greatest evil they can find and attempting healing magic upon the land. High elves and paladin warriors have likewise come to Felwood to cleanse it of undead and root out the reclusive Shadow Council.<ref name="Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 200-201">''[[Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 200-201</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Although no large villages or major cities exist, Felwood is not entirely abandoned. The furbolgs and satyrs of Felwood have small encampments, and the [[Alliance]], the [[Horde]], and the druids of the [[Cenarion Circle]] have set up an outpost, an encampment, and a homestead in order to try to cure the woods and provide travel through the area. |

Icewing Pass as seen from the road.
Icewing Pass is a canyon located on the Stormpike Guard side of Alterac Valley. It is immediately northwest of Icewing Bunker and it leads to Icewing Cavern. It is filled with Snowblind harpies, and occasionally rams. It has a fishable lake in the area near the main road, a long source of frustration for Alliance players due to some who fish here during the game and leech honor and reputation from the rest of the team.
