What is Mount Hyjal in WoW Forever?

Mount Hyjal is an explorable region set after Archimonde’s defeat at the Battle for Mount Hyjal. Blizzard classifies it as an anticipated addition: a place players have known about for years but could not properly explore in the original level 1–60 world.

The story includes a journey through Darkwhisper Gorge and asks players to help shape the future of a recovering land.

Factions and story

Blizzard says players will meet emerging factions and form alliances in Mount Hyjal. None of those factions is named in the checked recaps, and no reputation rewards or faction-choice rules have been published.

Hyjal Summit raid

Hyjal Summit is one of the two raids named for WoW Forever. Blizzard says it has 20-player raid encounters, but the sources do not publish its bosses, entrance, attunement, loot or precise relationship to the outdoor zone story.
