Bandarion Keep in WoW Forever: Location, Quests and Lore

Bandarion Keep is a Forsaken paladin stronghold in western Tirisfal Glades, near the Whispering Forest, added to World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever) in Patch 1.60.1 and named for Garek Bandarion, whom Warcraft Wiki calls "the first Forsaken paladin." Warcraft Wiki says it was formerly Dawn's Watch and exists only in Forever.

Quick answer: Warcraft Wiki puts it at about 21.5, 48.0, on the bluffs northwest of Solliden Farmstead. A Second Home sends Undead Paladins there from Brill at level 8; a Horde quest named Bandarion Keep needs level 10.

Six steps in the story of Bandarion Keep: an Argent Dawn garrison called Dawn's Watch, the siege lifted by Garek Bandarion, the keep renamed in his honor, Danitha Morr leading the paladins, A Second Home at level 11 for 220 XP, and Bandarion Keep and A Righteous Cause at level 13. — Bandarion Keep from Dawn's Watch to the Forever quests, from Warcraft Wiki.

On the bluffs of western Tirisfal Glades stands a monastery keep named for a fallen Forsaken warrior. Its paladins, Warcraft Wiki says, still guard the Forsaken.

Where is Bandarion Keep in Tirisfal Glades?

Warcraft Wiki puts it in the west of the zone at 21.5, 48.0, and its Seeking Refuge page describes a monastery on the bluffs northwest of Solliden Farmstead. NPC pages give nearby points: Hilda the Breaker at 22.0, 47.2, Breton Samuels at 21.8, 45.2 and Danitha Morr at 22.1, 44.7. Forever Codex lists it among three new Tirisfal areas with Whispering Forest and Shadowvale. See the Tirisfal Glades guide.

What is the history of Bandarion Keep?

Warcraft Wiki says it began as a Lordaeron military outpost, which the Argent Dawn garrisoned under Lord Maxwell Tyrosus, and that Crushridge ogres besieged it. Garek Bandarion, Dark Ranger Anya, Leonid Barthalomew and rescued soldiers lifted the siege. The keep was renamed Bandarion Keep, in Garek's honor, when the Tyr's Watch took control, and Danitha Morr leads the paladins there. She refused an Argent Dawn offer, saying the Forsaken were still the people the paladins swore to protect. Garek's tale is in Forsaken Kingdom and Unbowed explained; for the old garrison, see the Argent Dawn.

Which quests lead to Bandarion Keep?

Warcraft Wiki lists these, all added in Patch 1.60.1:

A Second Home: Shari Stilwell in Brill sends Horde Undead Paladins to Breton Samuels. Level 11, requires 8, 220 XP and 1 silver.
The Tarnished: Danitha Morr gives it to Undead Paladins, level 12, requires 9, 910 XP; slay Tarnished drudges and zealots in Shadowvale.

Who can use Bandarion Keep?

Warcraft Tavern says Horde gets Undead Paladins in Forever and that the keep is where Forsaken Paladins get most class quests; Warcraft Wiki lists no class for A Righteous Cause or the Horde quest Bandarion Keep, so other classes may visit too. See the Paladin guide and class quests.

What is not confirmed yet

Paladin trainer: Warcraft Wiki names Hilda the Breaker as Paladin Trainer, but Forever Codex lists no paladin trainer among Tirisfal's class trainers.
Coordinates and name: the wiki's keep point (21.5, 48.0) lies south of its NPC points (y 44.7 to 47.2); no source explains the gap.
Tyr's Watch: Warcraft Wiki says it is unclear whether this is the order's name or the keep's old name.

How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help at Bandarion Keep?

The free Lore Forever add-on gives readable story and recorded narration for the zone you are in, a Lore button on quests, and a Journey page of finished quests, so you can read Tirisfal's story as you reach the keep. Willo is a Windows companion app: hold your talk key, ask what comes next for your paladin, hear the answer, and keep goals in her notebook. She is free to start with 50 answers a day, works without the add-on, and can be wrong. Lore Forever is fan-made.
