Deathknell: your first 10 levels

Updated 2026-10-28 · ForeverDB

Where everything is in Deathknell and Brill for a new Undead: your first quest, every class trainer, food, repairs and the inn, with map pins and walking routes, and the quests in order up to level 10.

Written for the WoW Forever beta, for your first 10 levels. Where each person stands comes from what players recorded in WoW Forever wherever we have it. Anything else is marked: "Classic data" means the spot comes from the original game and may have moved in Forever.

Right now

You wake up in Deathknell, a ruined village with a graveyard in Tirisfal Glades. The Undead begin here. It looks gloomy, but it's a safe little corner of the world, made for your first steps.

1. You appear at 30.0, 71.7 in Deathknell. The church and the houses around it hold the trainers. Most of what you need is on the village square.
2. Your first quest: talk to Undertaker Mordo (30.2, 71.7), next to where you appear. Look for the yellow ! over their head and right-click them.
3. Your class trainer teaches you new spells. You learn something new at level 4 and then every two levels. Yours is in the table below.

Tip: If you die, don't worry: it happens to everyone. Click Release Spirit, run back to your body as a ghost, and you're back where you fell. The spirit healer for this area is at 30.8, 64.9.

Levels 1 to 5: your first quests

Here are the quests in a good order. Take every quest from a person before you head out, then do them together. Each quest name opens its page, with where to go and what to do.

1. Level 1. Talk to Undertaker Mordo (30.2, 71.7) and take Rude Awakening. You hand it in to Shadow Priest Sarvis.
2. Level 2 to 3. Talk to Shadow Priest Sarvis (30.9, 66.2) and take The Mindless Ones, Rattling the Rattlecages. Walk: 195 yards.
3. Level 2. Talk to Novice Elreth (30.9, 66.1) and take The Damned.
4. Level 3. Talk to Deathguard Saltain (31.6, 65.7) and take Scavenging Deathknell. Walk: 35 yards.
5. Level 4 to 5. Talk to Executor Arren (32.1, 66.0) and take Night Web's Hollow, The Scarlet Crusade, The Red Messenger, Vital Intelligence. You hand them in to Executor Zygand. Walk: 25 yards.
6. Level 4. Talk to Aramis Hammerhand (31.1, 66.3) and take A Light in the Darkness. Walk: 45 yards.
7. Level 5. Talk to Novice Elreth (30.9, 66.1) and take Marla's Last Wish.

Tip: Sell your grey items to any vendor. They're junk and only there to be sold for coins, and you'll need money for training.

Brill (levels 5 to 10)

When the village's quests are done, follow the road east to Brill, a small town with an inn, a mailbox and trainers. From where you started it's about 1880 yards on foot (about 4 min). See the walk on the map.

Tip: Talk to the innkeeper, Innkeeper Renee, and make this inn your home. Your Hearthstone (the stone in your bags) then brings you back here, and logging out at an inn builds rested experience: you level faster for a while next time you play.

Walk: on foot at normal running speed from the middle of Brill, along the walking routes of our Companion addon. Click a walk to see the route on the map.

Class quests up to level 10

Some quests are only for your class. They often teach you something important, like a Hunter's pet or a Warlock's demon, so don't skip them. Your race and class guide lists just yours.

Your capital: Undercity

You don't need the city before level 10, but it's good to know. Undercity has a bank (extra storage), the Auction House (buy and sell with other players), and trainers for every class and profession.

Walk: on foot at normal running speed from the middle of Brill, along the walking routes of our Companion addon. Click a walk to see the route on the map.

Professions

A profession is a trade: you can gather herbs, ore or leather, or make things. The trainers nearby are in the tables above. Not sure which to pick? See the best professions for each class.

After level 10

Well done. From here, the leveling guide shows where to go next for your race.
