Moonglade Moonglade ( aka The Moonglade ) is a haven for druid s , and home of the Cenarion Circle . Here , tauren and night elves coexist peacefully , united by their reverence for the spirit of nature . Conflict between the races in Moonglade is not tolerated by its protectors . Druids come here as part of their training to commune with the Great Bear Spirit ( at level 10 or higher ) . Only after they gain her blessing can they learn to use their Bear Form . Oddly enough , for a land made especially for Druids , there is only one druid trainer here . The demigod Omen sleeps at the depths of Lake Elune ' ara , awakening every year around the time of the Lunar Festival . Description . Most of the night elves ' population once remained in the Moonglade , surrounded by the old forest trees and the ancients , preferring solitude over communion with other races . The Moonglade ranges east of Felwood , just north of Winterspring Grove along the lower slope of Mount Hyjal . The Moonglade is a magical , sylvan forest draped in perpetual night . The moon stays high within the ebon sky , illuminating the woodland below with a silvery glow . The land never suffers the extremes of weather , thriving in a warm , endless summer eve . Considered holy to the night elves , the Moonglade is home to the night elf race and its powerful druids of the wild . Indeed , the druids had long rested in meditation under the glade , until the return of the Burning Legion awakened them . They remain awake , vowing to protect nature and heal the fractured continent from its war wounds . The sacred forest of the night elves is home to many beasts both dangerous and friendly . The Kaldorei themselves live in cautious harmony with the wildlife , such as the black tigers and the bears that prowl and hunt in the woods . The elves often capture and tame the proud saber cats to use as mounts , but encountering one in the wild is dangerous . Less harmony is enjoyed with the forest ' s more dangerous denizens . Satyrs - cursed , deranged night elves - also lurk here and plague the night elves ' solitude frequently . Some furbolgs - - driven feral by drinking the foul waters of Felwood - - will attack travelers as well . Fierce dire wolves and hippogryphs have also been reported in the area . In addition to these animals are the ancients : sentient trees that act as protectors of the forest . Treants - - the smaller tree - men cousins to the ancients - - roam the Moonglade . These beings act as fierce protectors of the forest . They do not hesistate to unleash their might upon any who would damage trees or otherwise harm nature . Many ancients live in the forest near Nighthaven . These sentient trees once had the vital task of channeling forces of the land to sustain the night elves ' immortality . They now aid in the elves ' warrior training and help protect their village . The Keepers of the Grove are powerful druids said to be the direct offspring of the demigod Cenarius ; they roam the Moonglade as ever - vigilant protectors . The night elves send these patrols out , though they focus primarily on defending Nighthaven and the Barrow Dens . The vast forests and vales of the Moonglade are sparsely populated . The sole settlement of any size is the night elves ' capital , Nighthaven . History . The Moonglade was the druids ' home for thousands of years . When the Burning Legion ran rampant over the land in ancient times , the Moonglade remained untouched . The night elf druids went into deep meditation in the secure caves of the Barrow Dens , sending their minds into the plane of the Emerald Dream . The remaining night elves built the town of Nighthaven . During the Third War , the Moonglade again remained the safe haven of the elves . Although battles were fought there , the land was not befouled . Before Teldrassil was created , the Moonglade housed the majority of the Night Elven population . The Gold Road once reached all the way to Moonglade and Nighthaven , but with the corruption of Felwood it became very isolated as strangers are no longer welcome by the Timbermaw furbolgs . Recently , the peace in Moonglade itself has become threatened as bizarre creatures from the Emerald Nightmare have found a way into a wing of the Stormrage Barrow Dens . Geography . Moonglade is a lush forest untouched by corruption , ancient and strong . It is surrounded by tall mountains , sheltering it from the outside world . The area is a haven for druids of both factions , a neutral zone where druids in training can learn from the masters and the animals of the forest . Instances . There are no dungeons of any sort and no battlegrounds in Moonglade . Resources . Though the area is extremely fertile and full of life , there are oddly no useful herb s here , nor any ore to speak of . As the creatures inhabiting the zone are all critters ( with the exception of the wolves assisting Omen , see " Wild creatures " below ) there is not much for skinners to gather either . Maps and subregions . Topographic map of Moonglade Travel hubs & Flight Paths . Flight prices have the usual discounts according to the player ' s reputation with the Flight Master city ( Darnassus ) . Notable characters . Moonglade is home to several characters of note . At Nighthaven , Dendrite Starblaze aids young druids in obtaining the power to attain the bear form , the aquatic form , and to cure poisons . Rabine Saturna enlists experienced heroes in the battle against the silithids , and at the Shrine of Remulos , Keeper Remulos attempts to cleanse the taint that has affected the four emerald dragons of the Dream . Loganaar is the sole Druid Trainer here . Even Malfurion Stormrage himself has been known to make an appearance in spirit here . Quests . Most quests involving Moonglade are druidic in nature , since it is the place where young druids come to learn new animal forms ( Bear Form , Aquatic Form ) . Cataclysm . It is unknown what changes the Cataclysm has wrought upon Moonglade , but judging by the pre - release map , it likely has not been affected much , or at all . Many critters , such as deer , rabbits and squirrels . Getting there . Although Moonglade is a mostly peaceful and safe zone , it is hard to reach for lower and middle level characters . To enter it by foot , you either need to sneak or fight through Timbermaw Hold from Felwood , or have at least unfriendly reputation with them . Druids can learn to themselves to Moonglade at level 14 , which makes it very easy for night elf Druids to access Darnassus and Darkshore when they need to . Tauren druids can teleport there as well , but they are considerably farther away from friendly territory than their elven compatriots ; even flying straight back to Thunder Bluff takes ten minutes . During the Lunar Festival , anyone can teleport to Moonglade after completing a quest , and can get the flight path for later . You can also use a trick to travel there from Darkshore . If you keep swimming far north from the northern end of its coast , the atmosphere will change to green hills and your zone will be ' Moonglade ' . You can enter the land , but not climb the mountains . Enter the water again , but take care that you do not reach ' The Veiled Sea ' , you must pass through ' The Veiled Sea ' however on your way north . Drown yourself , and you will be in Moonglade . There are also flight points for those who have managed to get to Moonglade previously , granting easy access in the future . There are also neutral flight masters inside Nighthaven who can transport night elf druids to Rut ' theran Village and tauren druids to Thunder Bluff for free . Non - druids cannot use the services of these flight masters . Lore . These marshlands have been untouched by the Legion so far . A tribe of furbolg s live here , but they do not welcome interlopers . The tileset is called " Ashenvale " .
