Often overlooked because the Barrens is such a great place for Horde to quest during the 10-20 level range, Silverpine is a secluded region between the undead starting zone of Tirisfal Glades, and the Hillsbrad Foothills. The only truly noteable landmark here is the imposing Shadowfang Keep (lv 22-26),which is populated by a renegade archmage named Arugal and his host of Worgen. It's near the seashore in the southwest part of the zone. Shadowfang is known for having several extremely rare drop items that can be sold for very high prices on the auction house. The village of Pyrewood is just south of the keep. The npc's here are friendly to Alliance characters. However, it's said that at night, they transform into werewolves...

You might wonder about a certain something walking in here in the Southwest part of Silverpine Forest. There is a huge gate called the "Greymane Wall", which before World of Warcraft, the humans locked themselves in this area during the Plague. There is known to be a city behind those gates but nobody knows about it. Nobody knows what happened to the people either...
I Eagle Eye'd on my hunter as best as I could and only saw Flat dead land with some trees. Then it just faded off.
Added: The next expansion, we're finally going to see what is behind that wall and what happened to the people of Gilneas. Leaks from MMO-Champion have confirmed that Worgens will become a New Race along with goblins, and they will seek help from the Alliance. Goblins will be the on the Horde side. The level cap will be 85, and players who choose the Worgen race will be able to switch between two forms of Human and Worgen form.
I'd like to say that Blizzard did an absolutely amazing job revamping this zone. There are plenty of horde flight points, and the leveling flow is great. The best part? The absolutely amazing, engaging quests. The storyline of the zone is fantastic.
I'm currently leveling my mage, Aelindra, through the zone. From a roleplay point of view, its great to immerse myself in the story- I'm fighting under the Banshee Queen's command to help bolster the armies of the forsaken, route out the Bloodfang Worgen pack, and generally reinforce the Forsaken control over Lordaeron. The random cutscenes are great- I really, really enjoyed fighting my way through Fenris Keep, and watching as the human magistrates willingly drank from a flask of worgen blood to turn themselves and become immune to the curse of undeath.
On the whole, the zone got an amazing, refreshing change. The redesigned quests and storyline capture your attention and make leveling fun, fast and entertaining.
I give it a 6/5 for AWESOME.
