Nestled in between the Moonglade and Darkshore is the Felwood. Corrupted long ago by the Burning Legion’s first invasion of Azeroth, it became even more dangerous with the presence of the Skull of Gul’dan. Though Illidan halted any further corruption by absorbing the powers of the powerful Orc warlock’s skull, the damage was done and Felwood is a source of great evil in Kalimdor. Animals here are tainted and hostile, trees drip poisons and toxins bubble in ponds and streams. And to make matters worse, the Shadow Council, a cult of Orcs (and others) that still worship demons, is highly active in the region. Even the mighty Ancients are susceptible to the Fel energies that exist in Felwood. Though dangerous, many venture through the Felwood as it is one of the few ways to access the sacred Moonglade and Winterspring beyond. The way in is guarded by the Timbermaw Furbolgs who fight against the corruption that is ever present.
