Ghostlands

Ghostlands is a level 10-20 zone in northern Eastern Kingdoms. It is part of the original Blackened Woods; Ghostlands is also an alternate title for the entire Blackened Woods region from which Eversong Woods was later reclaimed. Today, this zone appears on the world map north of the Eastern Plaguelands and south of Eversong Woods. The forest troll instance Zul'Aman is located here.

Ghostlands was implemented in the Burning Crusade expansion and is currently the only Azeroth zone introduced with this expansion in which the Flight Master's License works (as of PTR 4.1).

Little is known of this shadowy region of Quel'Thalas. The blood elves applied the scorched earth policy to these woodlands, effectively giving the Scourge as pyrrhic a victory as possible. It is likely that vengeful phantoms of the battles with the Scourge and a majority of the undead remnants left over from the invasion of Quel'Thalas still linger here, as well as one of the most vile traitors to the elven people.

History
According to Lands of Conflict, the high elves first landed in the Ghostlands (also known as the Blackened Woods), southwest of Silvermoon and north of Stratholme. Their fleet landed on the beaches of the kingdom men would later call Lordaeron. Forging inland, the high elves founded a settlement within the tranquil Tirisfal Glades. After a few years, many of them began to go mad. It was theorized that something evil slept beneath that particular part of the world, but the rumors were never proven to be true. The high elves packed up their encampment and moved northward towards another land rich with ley energies.
