What is Riverglades?

Riverglades (also written River Glades) is a new WoW Forever zone covering levels 36–44 in the beta client, between Redridge Mountains, Burning Steppes, Swamp of Sorrows and the Badlands. It is built from a previously inaccessible part of the original world. Blizzard describes it as roughly the size of Stranglethorn Vale and says it contains nearly 200 quests for Horde and Alliance players.

Its landscape is a rugged frontier of rivers, grasslands and trade routes, with struggling communities and old grudges built into the regional story.

The earlier What’s Next recap placed more than 150 of those quests across much of the mid-30s to mid-40s experience. The newer description is broader, not a published change to the level band.

Location and travel

Riverglades connects to the Burning Steppes, Redridge Mountains, Swamp of Sorrows and Badlands. Blizzard has not published a complete boundary map or overland entrance list.

A new Steamwheedle Cartel route starts in Tanaris and crosses the sea to Powderfuse Port. Blizzard’s recaps name no other Riverglades hub.

How to get to Riverglades

Blizzard has published one route by name and the zone’s neighbors. Wowhead’s beta zone record, read on 3 October 2026, adds the flight masters inside the zone.

• By sea: travel to Tanaris and take the Steamwheedle Cartel route to Powderfuse Port.
• Overland: Riverglades borders the Burning Steppes, Redridge Mountains, Swamp of Sorrows and Badlands. Blizzard has not said which borders have a road in.
• By air, once you have been there: the beta record lists a Horde wind rider master, Grakna (59.6, 45.2), and a gryphon master, Gretchen Mayberry (60.6, 81.4). Their flight routes are not checked here.

Factions and threats

The region extends conflicts from its neighboring lands rather than isolating them behind a separate story. Blizzard names gnoll camps, new ogre threats, the Powderfuse goblins, the Twilight’s Hammer and the Brotherhood of the Horse.

• Powderfuse goblins are a new group tied to the port and travel route.
• Twilight’s Hammer appears in the region, but its quest role is not detailed.
• The Brotherhood of the Horse is named without a published faction or reputation system.
