Where is Krol'dok Stronghold in WoW Forever?

The stronghold stands in the Riverglades, the new zone on the east coast of the Eastern Kingdoms. Its neighbours are Redridge Mountains, the Burning Steppes and the Badlands. Its quests cover the mid-30s to the mid-40s.

Blizzard describes Krol'dok as a sprawling fortress of workshops, encampments and guarded interior passages.

Blizzard sends you along the trail of the ogre outrunners to the stronghold. It also asks you to look into the strange chanting heard from the stronghold after nightfall.

Why some guides say 40 to 55

The BlizzCon panel in September named levels 40 to 55. Blizzard corrected the stronghold to 40 to 45 a few days later. Its 20 October dungeon article prints 40 to 45 as well.

  • War Handler Ashka, also listed as Handler Ashka.
