Entrance to Timbermaw Hold as it's seen from Moonglade.

Timbermaw Hold is the capital of the Timbermaw tribe of furbolgs. It is located in north east Felwood and includes the tunnel that connects Felwood with Moonglade and Winterspring.


When the corruption of the Burning Legion crept into the sacred forests of Kalimdor, the furbolgs fell under the corruptive influence of the Burning Legion. However, amidst the chaos and the madness, the Timbermaw tribe escaped the darkness that had fallen on Kalimdor. In the safety of Timbermaw Hold, the furbolgs of the Timbermaw tribe weathered the storm, yet they were forced to watch helplessly as the forest they had loved so much was slowly turned into a twisted, festering perversion of its former self. The corruption had sunk in deep, so that even long after Illidan had consumed the source of the corruption, a powerful warlock artifact called the Skull of Gul'dan, and vanquished the demons' leader Tichondrius, the taint on the woods still remained.

Since the Cataclysm, the Azshara entrance to the Hold has been replaced with the Blackmaw Hold area, with the Blackmaw tribe having a schism with the Timbermaws.[1]

In the RPG


This ancient furbolg fortress is located near Felwood's eastern border. It is a vast and rambling place, rumored to run deep into the slopes of Mount Hyjal. No one knows for sure how big it is, since the furbolgs abandoned it in ages past. Undead and satyrs may now wander the shadowed corridors... along with whatever cursed furbolgs still roam the depths. Wise travelers would bypass the site entirely if it were not the only passage through to Winterspring and Hyjal Summit.[2]






There is also the possibility that the Timbermaw Hold may be related or connected with the Barrow Deeps since in the Barrow Deeps are known to live at least one uncorrupted furbolg clan and also there is a side tunnel in the Timbermaw Hold, currently blocked by a door, that may connect it with the Barrow Deeps.
