Raynewood Retreat

Raynewood Retreat is located in north-central Ashenvale, east of Shael'dryn's moonwell and west of Night Run.

The Raynewood Retreat is an alliance outpost lead by a keeper of the grove and one of the eldest sons of the forest god Cenarius, Ordanus. The druids and keepers here oppose the corruption that spreads through their beloved land.

In game it is represented by a great tree populated by night elven Cenarion Protectors, Blink Dragons, and Laughing Sisters. From that outpost, they watch over the path leading north to the corrupted land of Felwood.

In Cataclysm
The Retreat is under attack by the Horde, as is the newly constructed tower nearby, Raynewood Tower. The Horde while trying to advance into the tree and kill Ordanus are having little success, for each time they slay a dryad defender Ordanus resurrects them as soon as they hit the ground.

The powerful Shadumbra can also be found here killing off many of the Horde soldiers.
