Zephras Isle is where Skyborne level from 1 to 12, and it's been playable since week one of the beta that opened September 17. You need the Skyborne Heroic Pack or higher; a sub or Game Time alone won't unlock it.
WoW Forever adds four named areas: Mount Hyjal, Shen'dralas, Riverglades and the Skyborne starting zone Zephras Isle. Old zones get new quests and boat routes too, with more than 1,000 new quests overall.
Riverglades is WoW Forever's new mid-level zone in a previously unreachable part of the Eastern Kingdoms. It covers much of the mid-30s to mid-40s with 150+ quests, and its port town is Powderfuse Port.
Mount Hyjal is one of WoW Forever's new zones, set right after Archimonde's defeat. The 20-player Hyjal Summit raid unlocks December 9, 2026, and no level range has been published for the zone.
