Midnight Overview
In Midnight, players experience the next chapter in the Worldsoul Saga as things become more dire for the world of Azeroth. Xal’atath, the Harbinger, poses our greatest threat as she unleashes chaos in her wake with the ensuing invasion striking into the heart of the blood elf homelands in Eversong Woods.

New Zones in Midnight Early Access
Players first begin their Midnight journey in the Isle of Quel'Danas, fighting back against Xal'atath's invasion on the Sunwell. After completing this introduction, it’s up to you how your story progresses beyond with four new zones to explore, including:
Eversong Woods, including an updated Silvermoon City
Zul'Aman
Harandar
The Voidstorm
Each of these new zones will include unique rares and interesting treasures to seek out. For a more detailed look into each zone's rares and treasures, check out our guides below.
