Quest Areas

The columns in this table show the map areas that each race starts in, as well as the nearest areas to continue questing in as you gain the appropriate level. Worgen, Goblins and Pandaren are unable to leave their zones until they have completed the quest chains there, and other races are not able to travel to those areas. The remaining races however can play in any area matching their faction, so if you wish to play with friends who've rolled a different race, you need only travel to their starting area.
